I have no toys left to hand down to my kids. My nephew destroyed them all.

No clue why, but Tommy loves playing with my old toys.  Those things were built to last, including my die-cast Star Destroyer and vintage Cylon Raider (though it's sadly missing its spring-loaded missiles).

I have a bunch of stuff. Like five gallons worth of Legos, lots of action figures, etc. I have no kids. 

Should I pm you my address, just in case.

If only I knew in 1984 what I know now, my Star Wars toys would never have gone to those yard sales.

And that includes my original Boba Fett with the projectile rocket, before it was recalled.  I remember saving up the proofs of purchase for that fucker, along with the $11, before Empire was even released.

I like that the Telegraph thinks I'm going to waiting 25 seconds with a video ad to see their content.

Instead, I just closed and re-opened it and then it worked fine.

Friend made a killing in the 00s - he got the last few missing figures/rigs from the old Kenner series to complete his childhood collection, then sold the whole shebang for a monster bucks. Picked just the right time for it.

His brother sold his Masters of the Universe collection a year later for similarly big bucks.

Gonna be visiting Europe for a bit over 2 weeks in the christmas period. Most shall of course be at home but am considering taking a few days out of it to actually go and see somewhere. Unsure where. Might finally go see Liverpool for something easy. Or hop over to Dublin despite my friends not being there atm. Though Barcelona or Brugge do tempt me.
