Saturday Snap – A Boxful of Childhood Memories

I rediscovered this this box in the garage recently and Pace was *very* excited to get so many “new” toys all at once! 

For Pace, it's new but for me, this box contains so many childhood memories.  I used to spend hours, not just re-enacting Star Wars & GI Joe scenes but using the figures to simulate hockey games, wrestling matches and football games.  I used to act out movies, TV shows and rock bands with these figures – some based on real shows or bands I'd seen but many times creating originals out of my head.

And look at that – in the bottom right, an original Luke Skywalker!  A couple quick Google searches doesn't tell me what an out-of-box Skywalker figure with no light saber and slightly yellowed with age is worth.  But I mean, if Walrus Man (who's also in that box somewhere) is going for $9.98, Luke's gotta be worth at least double that right?
