Spent Saturday cleaning up and then went to my parent's today and got more stuff LOL. I think Tim was horrified when my Mom gave me three bags/boxes of Star Wars toys (which I had asked for because nostalgia)

So I spent about two hours tonight going through one of the bags, wiping off the dust, and them playing with the toys.

Possibly my favorite Star Wars toy. My Rancor got a lot of playtime because RotJ was my favorite of the movies when I was a kid (probably because of the super-mega-happy-ending) and I would drag my toy box out and play with my figure while I was watching.

Sidenote: I was digging through my parent's DVDs and found out my brother bought the Special Edition Limited Release of the Original Trilogy that has the ORIGINAL THEATRICAL RELEASES on the bonus discs!!!!!!! I totally "borrowed" them because I want to watch RotJ again but I know the one on my blu-ray copy will make me rage (GIVE ME MY YUB NUB DAMMIT! And don't get me started on the awful song added to Jabba's palace...)

Yup, just as much fun as it was in 1984 hehe.



Only sad thing was opening up my Tie Fighter and seeing that the batteries had exploded in the back (well, they were probably 30 years old LOL). That is the only real damage I have seen so far that I am sad about.

I'll probably post more photos as I go through the bag. There's some Jurassic Park stuff in there too which makes me happy. I HAVE A T-REX! :D

Cool! lol I swear that the batteries is what gets us. It's like oops, I forgot to take the batteries out of this thing... 10 years ago or whatever.

OMG you have the BEST toys!!! And Yay for finding the Special Edition DVDs!!! I snapped those up so fast when they came out, and they are still the editions I watch and rewatch when I have the need. Right now, my big Star Wars beef is not being able to get the prequel trilogy on DVD. I can only find those collectible "steel book" BluRay editions, which I'm sure will be awesome once I have a BluRay player, but right now it's kind of useless to me.

I thought for a second that this post would make me feel sad about throwing away all my childhood toys, but... nope. XD I wasn't cool enough to be into any major franchises that now have toys/collectibles worth tons of money. I'll let memories be memories :PPPPP

THAT RANCOR IS SO COOL! .... though I think I'd been a little terrified of it if someone gave me that as a kid XDDDD;

SHOW OFF YOUR JURASSIC PARK TOYS TOO!!!! PLZ?

I have those dvds and didn't realize it! I watched the remaster of the first movie (and bitched about it), and then realized I had the proper versions on the second disc, AND I WAS SO HAPPY.

What, Tim was under the impression that a bigger living space didn't mean more room for toys?

One of my biggest regrets was not buying a rancor on clearance for $30. My son took it out of the cart and made me put it back because it was either the rancor or food back then, and apparently he was more adult that me when he was 12. Now my rancor is $200 on eBay. Oh well.
