Lovely Video Jules. I have to admit to being absolutely ecstatic to get my first 12 collection from childhood fitted out with their weapons and cleaned up ready for display. Those first figures bring back so many memories. Some very nice examples there too :)

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Stuart, filming this today filled me with nostalgia too. The first 12 have a special place in my memory!😉

[@richardsandson]

I thoroughly enjoyed this video Jules. Looking forward to the next

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Paul! ESB next Tuesday.

[@markrussell3414]

Another awesome fantastic video of your star wars figures collection is amazing 👽👍👍👍👍👍

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Mark, glad you're enjoying them!

[@bryanbelshaw7725]

Every month my dad would buy me one of these from leisure world in Belfast. I kept them in good condition and gave them to my nephew some years later. Also remember getting the big Millennium Falcon for Christmas. Used to work weekends on a comic stall as well many years ago. Feels like I've walked a mile In your shoes...lol

[@JulesBurt]

Lol, that's the idea Bryan, hopefully pulling in those nostalgia strings!😃

[@samuelshaw7550]

Loved this video would love to start a collection like this 🙏🙏 actually amazing look forward to ESB video 🔥🔥

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Samuel, start your collection today!😉

[@macorourke2222]

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure, these are awesome!

[@garylovisi357]

What a great video and look at these figures. Also loved the photos of your store, purple haze, wish I could have given it a visit!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Gary, I still love my Star Wars figures! My store is fondly remembered. We used to sell Paperback Parade in the 90's, on wholesale from Maurice at Zardoz. I have a great Facebook group you can check out, just search Purple Haze, Plymouth and request to view.🙂

[@billpaulk1058]

I had all of these as a kid. It is fun to go back in my memory and think about how I either bought them or got them as a gift. Great job of showcasing each figure!

[@JulesBurt]

Nice 👍 Glad you enjoyed it!

[@80sfreak42]

This is truly awesome..thank you and cheers from California..

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks!🙂👍

[@ashley_engle]

All of the first 21 are my absolute favorites due to nostalgia but have fond memories from each of the classic films. Still looking for my original VCJ even though I have another. Yours are so clean. Very nice 🥰💕

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Ashley, I've upgraded them over the years. My favourite figures are first 21 also as well as some ESB.👍

[@xrpjordan9630]

Mate, thanks so much h for the video. I love looking and displaying my vintage star wars figs. I had no idea the smaller circle stands were vintage. Wow. Beautiful collection mate. Cheers

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks buddy! Really appreciate it. Gotta love these figures 👍🙂

[@KSGeekMan]

Excellent!!!

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Ben!😉

[@edfivedownunderplasticplanet]

I love seeing these figs again, although I have brought a couple of faves graded. I still enjoy playing with some orginal 21 including Hammer head & Snaggle tooth. Thanks for sharing Jules. Cheers🍻👍

[@JulesBurt]

Hi Daniel, thanks for that. These figures are pretty timeless and I think are absolute classics. Glad you enjoyed the video🙂

[@trashcompactorguy1710]

Great video, thanks for sharing your memories. 😎👍

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure, glad you enjoyed it👍🙂

[@tikvision]

Advice for beginners : get what you can afford and don't lose sleep for variants

[@JulesBurt]

For sure👍

[@davidmchugh2959]

Awesome collection, I almost love the droids and the aliens more then the main characters.

[@JulesBurt]

It's true, the droids are especially great🙂

[@cinemacrema2349]

I just got a C3PO 1977 and the craziest thing about the one I got is that he's very loose everywhere, but the paint is just beautiful, you really have to look for the bits where it's a bit worn out... but just looks great and I only paid 20 AUS$, I'm really happy with it.

[@JulesBurt]

Sounds like a bargain! Nice🙂

[@rafaelpedro9494]

You are like the “Bob Ross” of Star Wars 👍

[@JulesBurt]

That's great! What an honour🙂

[@Geir-Chirpa]

THX for sharing

[@JulesBurt]

My pleasure!

[@9mccloud]

Thank you very much for sharing this information I love your collection. My son now 40 use to play with them when he was a child. I have a few I have been collecting. Hopefully I will find one that is worth enough to purchase a tiny house. 🙏🏿💙🙏🏿

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks, you never know!🙂

Your shop looks like it was an amazing place! 👍

[@JulesBurt]

It sure was!🙂👍

[@mothersmucker1]

I'd like to see an updated buyers guide post coved - prices are absolutely ridiculous for complete figures at this point .

[@JulesBurt]

I may well do that 👍

[@DRAGOINTHEHOUSE]

Lol I was about to say ,here in the states boba fett is like $100. Vader , Luke and obiwan were around $70 in 2019 , I would like to go shopping were this guy goes ha ha .

[@JulesBurt]

The market has changed a bit since 2019, when this was filmed.....

[@belldelafuente]

I would like to buy a complete collection.

[@JulesBurt]

They do occasionally turn up as sets but it's a pricey proposition. Are you in the UK or USA?

[@seer45]

Odd question but what’s the background music for this video called? Super relaxing!

[@JulesBurt]

It was so long ago when I made this I honestly have no idea, sorry my friend 🙂

[@vintagetoycollector9352]

Nice fetts ♥️

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks Tom🙂!

[@JestersDeadUK]

Great vid, music too FAR too loud, from when you show stormtrooper :(

[@JulesBurt]

Thanks, filmed 2 years ago now, much better at videos these days👍

[@estherdougherty3391]

How much for Yoda with Jewish council chair with a comm tech chip in box

[@estherdougherty3391]

Jedi

[@JulesBurt]

Sadly it's a modern figure, not vintage so no more than $10, still carded.
