I've got the action figure archive book, but I'm still having trouble processing that the original SW figures looked like that. Not that they're so simple, that I don't remember that they were. Were they better by the time Empire came out? I reckon that was when I started getting them.

Indeed. I keep looking at that Jabba's Palace playset. The whole 4 foot barge thing was just too big for me, but a good old fashioned proper playset... brilliant. Why don't more things like that exist these days? I mean look at that. It's just fantastic. I don't follow SW 3.75 inch figure news, how often do they do playsets?

I love playsets, bases, I've very little interest in ships. And I'm not aware of there being too many playsets in the modern line, which is odd.

AMAZING SW tat found in Home Bargains. A reissue set of 80's stationery including the fabled multicoloured Death Star pencil sharpener. The card back even has Informative Facts about the items!
A steal for £2.

Sorted. FB Messenger would download the photos even when it wouldn't display them.
I also fixed the one which was upside down

Everyone needs a Death Star pencil sharpener. Worth the £2 alone, nevermind what else you get with it!
I do remember the Stormtrooper ruler. Things like licensed stationery was in shops for years and years back in the day.

Star Wars stationery set procured from Home Bargains. This is fantastic! This maths tin is full of stuff, just like the old days. I love the historical notes on the back of the cardboard. I am impressed it needs to describe the pencil sharpener - "It features one hole and has a cannister to collect pencil shavings". Essential knowledge.
I even bought one for Mrs P. She is very pleased because I have allowed her to open it.
Question - the back of the packet says there were FOUR different pencil cases and shows a Stormtrooper one, but the two sets I bought have a LUKE SKYWALKER pencil case. Are they all Skywalkers in this reissue? or are there FOUR TO COLLECT?
PLEASE SAY THERE ARE FOUR TO COLLECT.

Told you it was good!
I haven't been back to HB so don't know if they have more other than Han.
EDIT: If I got Han and you got Luke...
