It has begun. I've been bitten by the collector bug and I must add more 3.75in vintage figures to my collection.
The Boba Fett is from my childhood, and original 1979 (came out on the Star Wars card even before he appeared in Empire Strikes Back).
The humanoid robot is the Deathstar Droid, who appeared in the first Star Wars movie in the sand crawler scene, then later in the Deathstar but painted black. He was given to me recently by someone in gratitude for some work I did for them. It's an original 1978 figure.
The red astromech droid is R5D4, also from the sand crawler scene. I bought this droid from a second hand shop about 10 years ago. It's paper torso sticker was virtually all rubbed off, so I replaced it with a sticker purchased off ebay. It's from 1978.
The last guy is my newest addition, an R2D2 bought by my gf for me. It's an original 1977 vintage R2D2. It's sticker is a little torn but mostly in very good condition so I won't be touching it, just leave it as is.
And so now, the collecting begins!
Mailbox across from the section of the Presidio owned by LucasFilm. Apparently Lucas even has the power to change mailboxes....
I was at the 2011 Gadget Show Live at the NEC in Birmingham UK. R2D2 (of Star Wars fame) was there and was wearing a policemans helmet. It was a real one provided by one of the patrolling officers. He obviously saw a good opportunity for the future of law enforcement :)
Maybe if I pretend to be asleep, he will leave me alone. Him and his camera, he is almost as bad as Nano in bothering me.
Well R2D2 was not happy that Nano and Minnie had recent pictures posted and he had none. I told him that I saved the best for last.
LOL I thought this was totally amusing. I saw that they were going to do this but didn't know they were out in force yet.
