When I was in elementary school I was a huge dork (still am) and I put together a set of the Star Wars figures and left them in their boxes. I would do chores on Saturday and when I was done, my parents would take me to Toys R' Us and let me get a figure ($5 worth each visit). They were great parents, and I have really nice memories from this. I also eventually picked up some of the figures from the 70's, and I also had a few old Marvel and DC comics too. I think I always liked older things as opposed to modern.
I also collect albums and have a lot of the Beatles and Rolling Stones (almost all of the Beatles full length albums, but not quite). Also, Salvador Dail lithographs ... my Dad has Manhattan Skyline, Loves Promise, The Bull Fighter, and La Grande Pavon. Some of his work is absolutely trippy. |

Nice!... similarly, I had a sweet Star Wars collection as a kid, but they all got thrown out during a move when I was about 9. In a quest to reconnect with my distant childhood past (I was 12 or 13), I found a guy that sold unopened figures at the Santa Cruz flea market. I went back 2-3 times and picked up a couple dozen for btwn $4-$10 each. Still have them and a Jabba the Hut playset stuffed in a box in storage... with my even dorkier old school, but working Atari stand up arcade machine.
