Times Online has a list of the top ten Star Wars collectibles from the vintage and rare to new items. I can’t believe that it was 30 years ago that the first Star Wars figures were unleashed to entertain geeks everywhere.

SKLLBUD 1.7 is the latest release SKLLBUD from Vinyl Toys artist Jamungo, these are limited to 500 pieces at $15 USD a piece. I think there’s something freaky about the see through flame shape bulb with the inset C-3PO look-a-like head. The SKLLBUD 1.7 bronze will be on show at the Spring Vinyl Toy Network (5.4.08) in the DKE Toys booth.

I used to play the game of Operation when i was a little kid, and i must admit I wasn’t very good at it. Therefore, I didn’t spend so much time playing it.

Apparently Hasbro has announced a new Operation Hulk edition. I wish it was available years ago when i was still young enough to play it. Kids are lucky these days :lol:
