Welcome

Me with my vintage collection.

Welcome to powerofthetoys.com. This website is a showcase of my vintage Star Wars collection. I have been collecting Vintage (1977-1985) Star Wars items since 1993 and completed my loose set of figures in 2007. That same year, I began to focus on the U.S. mail away promotions and a character focus on Luke Skywalker in his Jedi Knight Outfit from Return of the Jedi. Finally, in 2005, I started working on a POTF coin set in which I have 2 coins left. Please take a look at my want list and if you have something I need maybe we can work a deal.

The website can be navigated by using the links at the top. I will also be blogging below about various items in my collection and new items as I add them. I hope that you enjoy visiting the site and “May the force be with you”.

Feel free to contact me at admin@powerofthetoys.com or leave me a voicemail by clicking on the graphic below.

Boba Fett Coin

Ginally back from the trip and had a great time. I was able to find a coin to add to my coin set. This one makes number 60 of 62, so I’m almost there on the set. The coin is for Boba Fett which is fitting with Celebration V honoring The Empire Strikes Back.

Collector Panel Cereal Boxes

This year at each of the collector panels a Star Wars themed mini cereal box was handed out at the end. Each day I attended 3 of the 4 panels, so we almost had a complete set. Just before the last panel began we traded a few of our doubles and got to the point of just needing one box. Luckily Sarah found someone, so we were able to complete the set.

Room sale

One event that many collectors look forward too are the room sales. They’ve gotten so big that the haven’t taken place in actual rooms the last two conventions. Basically collectors bring a bunch of stuff to sell at the convention and then a night or two these sales go on at one of the main hotels. This is the only picture I managed to take as I wanted to make sure i didn’t miss anything cool. There was a lot of stuff that I would have liked, but I only picked up one item. It was an Australian Luke Jedi card back to go with my focus. I feel that I got a pretty fair price for a card that doesn’t come up for sale very often.
