Insider #2 - New Relics

[@OGStarwars]

What fun! I remember a time there was only the three movie's and budding EU

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

As an early teen, my grandma's boyfriend gave me a big TMNT carry case FULL of old SW action figures from both the Power of the Force and Power of the Jedi lines from the '90s!!! Still have all of them, too!! Granted, I didn't like them as much as I liked the more articulated and detailed SW figures from the mid to late 2000s, but I still enjoyed having them, and even playing with them! In recent years, I've made a bunch of little dioramas from scrap to display them in, and they look REALLY cool!!! I've even got the Boba Fett you showed, along with MANY, MANY more!! In recent years, I've even acquired the mail away Force Ghost Obi Wan action figure and B'omarr Monk figure with the floating brain!!! SO COOL!!!!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I always loved collecting the SW toy checklists that they used to include in SW action figure packages back in the 2000s!!!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

That's a REALLY COOL Qui Gon Jinn poster!!!!! ALL those SW posters you showed are AWESOME!!!! If I were you, I'd go crazy framing all of those SW posters and finding places to display them!!!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I always loved it when they used that futuristic/digital type font!!!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I LOVE this content!!! Part and parcel of what it means to be a SW fanatic!!! Hahahahaha!! As someone who didn't have much SW merch as a kid, this is like being in a candy shop!!!!

7:35 the visual guide dictionary is amazing and has excellent tidbit information

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

Christmas 2005 was when Santa brought me the collector's SW Saga Edition chess set where all the chess pieces are highly detailed SW character figurines, and the board had a cool lava design, as well as a collector's edition SW Ep.3 ROTS double sided jigsaw puzzle that is in the shape of Darth Vaders' helmet, and one side had Light Side characters, and the other had Dark Side characters, and it came in a really cool collector's tin that was also itself two sided!!!! I also received a SW Ep. 3 ROTS Wookie/Kashyyyk jigsaw puzzle alongside the other 2 items!!!!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I remember as a small kid in the late '90s and early 2000s having maybe 3 SW activity/puzzle/coloring books for Ep.1 TPM and PT/ OT, and one or two of them were absolutely MASSIVE and thick!!!! One had Darth Vader on the cover, and the other had Yoda, and I loved those books to death!!! Hahahahaha!!! I guess you could say it was my introduction to SW!!!! Hahaha!! I wish I still had them, don't know where they went! I plan on trying to acquire old newish copies of them off eBay!!

[@williamripke982]

Skran, the more I follow your commentaries, the more I smile. Love your humor.😊

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@williamripke982 haha thanks William I appreciate it bud 🤣 I’m just a dweeb haha

[@williamripke982]

@Star-Wars-Skran You're a dweeb weilding a powerful weapon arsenal. Truth and KZbin.

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

Another item my grandma's boyfriend also gave me as an early teen was an original electronic Death Star game from either 1977 or 78, in great condition, and still works!!!!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

Awesome!! We had something kinda similar to those Tazo cards in crisp/potato chip bags over here in the US during 2005 when the Lay's company were promoting SW Ep.3 ROTS; except ours were stickers, and if you got a Yoda you won a big prize, but I only got C-3PO!! Haha!

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I've got an original, mint condition, Topps Darth Vader card from 1977 that came in a chewing gum pack that my dad had back in the day, and I've got it framed in a futuristic looking golden, oblong octagonal floating frame!!! It's beside the framed newspaper article cutout from the early '70s that shows my grandpa working with and for a man named Brett Skywalker building log homes in Alabama, which is also in a futuristic floating frame!!!

[@soulassassin9089]

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I've recently been trying to acquire some old pre-Pissney SW Insider magazines, and I've been saving up. I'm going to probably use some of my Christmas money!! Haha!!

[@DickyReeves]

4:47 I owned that magazine they, were indeed the UK version the magazines here are smaller

[@matthewgaudet4064]

I really enjoyed the Lucasfilm fan club magazine and their fan club posters. Also the magazine became Insider which I also liked. and I also liked Star Wars Galaxy magazine as well. The Galaxy mags i need to replace my destroyed copies. and all the missing posters and insert cards. At least i was able to get a complete set of the Dark Horse magazine UK prints. Of the Star Wars and Indiana Jones comics.

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

I really enjoy seeing this, Skran!!! I'll have to go back and watch your first one!!! I really hope you make more like this!!!! I really envy your collection!!!! Growing up, I didn't have many chances to collect a lot of SW merch due to we were poor, but I'm attempting to remedy that now!! Haha! I'm living vicariously through you, Skran!! Haha!! Cheers!!! 🍻

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@gordonmacdonald6442 thanks for all your comments Gordon!!! We weren’t particularly well off either I just collected what I could , all of my stuff was second hand but I loved it

[@gordonmacdonald6442]

@Star-Wars-Skran You're most welcome!!! I know what you mean!! A lot of my stuff was 2nd hand, and I was an only child!! Hahaha!!! Still have fond memories, though!! I remember begging and pleading my parents to get me SW action figures and models, and they almost always said no, but my grandma always got me some SW action figures for Christmas and my birthday, and I loved spending hours at the public library perusing the EU section they had, and I was constantly checking out their DVD copies of SW 1-6!!! Haha!! Every time we went to a store, I always made a b-line for the SW toy section, even if only to look!!! Hahahahaha

[@OGStarwars]

Wow, you top SWT. He doesn't even know of or collected cool star wars stuff like this.

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@OGStarwars haha he has that Jake skywalker funko pop doll though 🤣

[@rodimusprime2162]

That’s awesome I also made videos discussing my Star Wars collection

[@DickyReeves]

8:05 the first battle between a Jedi and a Sith in a thousand years you say?? Did anyone tell the creators of the Acolyte???

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@DickyReeves haha exactly my point 🤣🤣🔥

[@DarthPawz]

I saw the Kenobi book on your shelf and turned the video off

[@Star-Wars-Skran]

@@DarthPawz that’s because you are a SWT fan and y’all are Stuart Beattie cultists 🤣🔥

[@DarthPawz]

@@Star-Wars-Skran Stop disrespecting the best script of all time. Beattie is George Lucas’s real apprentice.

[@OGStarwars]

Beattie isn't the author, so he dint want it
