firing blaster cannons!
*pop*
I sometimes help out in the local charity shop where my grandma works. I'd just been on b3ta reading through a few (million) Star Wars related posts, when she rang me and asked if I would help out the next day as various other volunteers were off and she would be on her own. Being the lovely little treasure I am, I said yes. The next day, I toddle off to the shop and what's the first thing I see? Obi-wan's Jedi Starfighter (featuring an opening canopy, firing blaster cannons aaaand retractable landing gear!) complete with box, both in very good condition. Now I have no interest in Star Wars whatsoever, indeed I have never even seen any of the films (yeah? flame me) and this toy wouldn't have usually been given a second look but with the majority of this week's QOTW replies fresh in my mind, I quickly enquired 'Grandma, how much for this?' 'Oh just give us 20p, can't sell the bloody thing, been in here ages' she replied. I duly handed over my shiny 20p piece, with only one thought in my mind...that I can now come on here and tell all you whiny little buggers that your crappy plastic toys (that you have missed out making millions off!) are worth bugger all and worse, no-one even wants them!

p.s. if anyone REALLY wants it I could attempt to post it to them, otherwise it's off back to the charity shop

That's
from the new films.

The collectors stuff is the stuff done in the 70's and 80's...

God I'm depressed with myself now, although at least mine aren't in their boxes, wrapped in 2000AD's with abig sign saying 'DO NOT THROW OUT' and was thrown out by my mum...
