TSOT Tribute to Craig Spivey

We lost a dear friend, a gentle, creative and talented man Craig Spivey. Craig's collection is a wonder to behold. The Force was strong in this one and the toy community will miss him dearly.
We hope that you will enjoy and celebrate with us a Star Wars collection that only Craig could put together and that continues to put a smile on the face of all who see it. Thanks Craig x

Just to give you an idea of the man that Craig was. During the final weeks as he bravely faced his illness it was the feelings of others that were first and foremost in his thoughts. In fact just before his passing he messaged to check how my little boy Noah was doing with his illness and was concerned with how I was coping. That is a measure of the man, despite his own immense pain and knowing he had little time left he was concerned not with himself but others that he cared about. The world needs more Craig Spivey’s in it and we’ve just lost the only one. Goodnight you lovely man. X Joe

My prayers are with Craig’s family and friends. I have deep respect for the care and authenticity that he presented, demonstrating his love of STARWARS and profound collection.

[@comicsvisions]

RIP Craig, his amazing collection deserves to be on display in a museum...

[@stephenthomas1492]

I'm a big fan of globes and that Star Wars globe looked great!

[@LeighSpivey-m3p]

Thanks for putting this on again as a tribute to our Son Craig - Leigh and Nancy Spivey

[@davidlaing5321]

A beautiful tribute to an obviously lovely and loved man x

[@ConradChallis-hj9bu]

Just watched the special tribute to the late Craig Spivey and what an incredible collection and sweetheart he was taking Joe and Gav around his personal collection. You have written your simple plan and I hope it brings you an hour of joy, to the boy who is half a man and the man who is half a boy. MTFBWY ...... Always

[@Retromaster2023]

So sad :( may he R.I.P. 🙏 great collection and video.

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

Thank you kindly

[@retro-spec64]

Absolutely incredible collection and what an inspiration he was. Like you guys said, it's the stuff that really takes you back to that period in time even more so than the ships and figures. I still have my pen toppers and note pads from those days that were bought with my own pocket money.

[@butchrs500]

Really to sad the news of his passing his collection was amazing and some of his pieces was truly memorable i will follow in his steps and collect some of the helix and scrapbooks RIP Craig and 100% his collection needs to be displayed in a museum for future generations to enjoy.

[@ajwf]

Amazing tribute, nicely done guys. Thoughts to his family and friends

[@XJMX]

Never met him, but always enjoyed his generation skywalker randomness. Was a pleasure to watch the TSOT when it first aired. RIP.

[@llengsuch3426]

That collection is out of this world! Condolences to Craig's friends and family. Gone but not forgotten. Now at one with the Force.

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

[@HardluckHotelFilms]

Lovely tribute. RIP Craig.

[@shambles007]

Wonderful tribute you did your friend proud

[@markwestwriter]

This is a wonderful tribute, well done. My sympathies on losing your friend.

[@S-T-E-V-E]

This is the Collection that stood out in my mind, it was all stuff from my childhood, all the random Bubble Bath, Badges, Pencil Tops, all the tat that meant so much to us as kids, even if it was janky you were still in awe of it! RIP Craig! Thanks for collecting this stuff!

[@dennisbomhof]

A wonderful tribute and a museum worthy collection in my humble opinion, may he rest in peace!

[@Daniel-zy8rz]

That was an absolutely lovely tribute Joe, the bit at the end with the cup and the photo of Craig as a lad made me cry. What a privilege to see this man's fascinating, eclectic collection. And to learn something new about old Star Wars. God bless Craig Spivey. ❤️🙏

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

Lovely comment. Craig was a font of knowledge on so many things and he entertained with it. I shall miss that sparkle in his eye when enthusing about some obscure piece of Star Wars art you’d never even considered before.

[@dalekfanpertwee1909]

Fab bloke that I met the once,his conversation and knowledge of Star Wars was superb and to be such a wonderful and bench mark collector is sublime. The Force..will always be with him .

[@seanbrown2697]

This is a wonderful tribute, thank you for putting it together.

[@stevejones4442]

God speed Craig, rest well - a fine tribute gents, never met him but can see how much he meant to those that did.

[@matthewroe4838]

So sad. A lovely man. RIP xxx

[@tartanbhoy]

Lovely tribute to an amazing collector. He will be sorely missed both in the community and on the podcast. Thoughts go out to his family at this time. May the force be with you…

[@brianrobinson2962]

[@kevinlucas76]

Amazing collection, a lovely tribute!

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

Thank you very much!

[@nigelbyrom8189]

Thoughts to Craig’s family and friends, such an amazing collection

[@ben8447]

I really enjoyed this video and was really moved by the love that Craig had for his collection and the obvious joy he felt being able to share it with you. I also thought it was a very respectful video, right down to the final second where the Spoon Jar Films logo came on but the laughter that usually follows it was muted. A classy video through and through. RIP Craig.

[@RobTaverner]

RIP Craig, my condolences to the family.

[@janecox4173]

RIP this is making me cry. As i said yesterday cancer seems to only get the good people xxx

[@joelserrano1454]

RIP 🙏🏽 beautiful tribute

[@darrenlawrence587]

Such a lovely collection. Being a 6-10 year old brit at the time of the original releases I recognised a lot of little bits and bobs that I used to own and had forgotten about. The figures were obviously the most sought out items back then but we all had a ton of SW stationary and other goodies like curtains, wall paper, bed spreads, etc. That stuff was everywhere and it's a fantastic area to focus on. I've seen bigger collections before but I haven't seen one with such heart. It's got a specific style and a real appreciation of Star Wars Mania in the 70s. He seemed like a lovely bloke too. He'll clearly be missed.

[@gordonglover6011]

So sorry to hear about Craig,I just heard yesterday shocked I met him years ago a true gentleman he loved helex,I bought a veiw bits myself.

[@PaulBowman-y1r]

You can feel his passion for the past , condolences to all who knew him . Have to agree the pocket money star wars linger in the memory i bought some star wars gums cards from a toy fair was surprised too see them think i payed a fiver for 8 was well happy , nice video and tribute

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

Nailed it with that comment. Craig was and very much is a huge influence on our collections. The joy out weighs the value. 😊

[@MartinFutter70]

A pleasure to watch someone who had the excitement in the odd, rather than the norm. A sad loss, and long may he be remembered

I loved that episode, what a guy.

[@wheeljack0]

R.I.P. fellow collector.

[@christopherjensen5007]

That was indeed a fantastic tribute to a wonderful guy. Even got me teared up with the cup of tea at the end.

[@acrodave9287]

Aw, no! Craig was a legend. I saw this video the first time round and his Letraset collection inspired immediate affection, I had loads of that stuff and it all got used and thrown away. Never underestimate a man in a grey Pork Pie hat... 😔

[@UsualmikeTelevision]

RIP Craig Spivey. Lovely man with an amazing collection!

[@ukmisfit4494]

rip to this gentleman

[@blueplanet9917]

He seemed like such a nice man... and WHAT A COLLECTION he leaves behind..

[@211inprogress]

Really Sorry to hear about this, Amazing collection, Amazing Guy, Glad you got to meet and spend some time with him. R I.P Graig, May the force be with you. 🙏

[@williamroberts8165]

A great tribute well done lads 💙

[@stephenthomas1492]

Tragic news to be sure. It's good seeing Gav on a recent video again though. I miss that guy. It's like Fred with no Barney, Belushi with no Aykroyd, or Crockett and no Tubbs.

[@NHLDUCKCHARLIE]

Lots of memories of memorabilia. Awesome collection 👌

[@gazev9691]

What a wonderful tribute - sending condolences and best wishes to his family and friends

[@Fedpool]

What a great guy. Really enjoyed this tour and Craig's energy.

[@irishgoku]

Oh no man we lost a legend

[@obirobkenobi3599]

What a lovely fella . Rest in peace brother xx

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

Thanks very much. He certainly was a lovely fella

[@MegaGordyboy]

thats the worst thing about having such an expensive collection,when you die what happens to it.

[@leicestervintagetoyshop]

Craig planned everything. When we originally filmed this he and we knew he was poorly. It’s not the worse thing bud. We love it but it’s just toys. Craig knew that. Our enthusiasm for bits of plastic is unbounded but people, people are special. Especially when that person is Craig. X

[@adamstar7516]

@@leicestervintagetoyshopYes. So true. I have a £100,000 collection. Most of it is storage until I can find a house, but my Mum and sister who live closest to me both have sets of keys to my flat and my lock up if anything happens to me and I’ve itemised it all. I’m 56 and not getting any younger. You never know what’s around the corner. You have to be prepared. Craig had an awesome collection. I’ve only just got into wax packs but building a steady little boxed collection. I’ve no idea where he managed to find Trevor Chews! That blew me away. I’d love to be able to find Star Wars stuff like that. People like Craig will always be missed. At least he left a mark in our community. Rest well.
