History of Vintage Star Wars Playsets - Cantina Adventure Set 1978 - EP 22 

I think I capped out at 30 dollars haha!!!! I was super shocked to see it at over 100 dollars!!! I guess thats one items I will be on the hunt for at the ICCC!!!!

@@thepadawancollectorofficial Haha - yeah, this one was pretty low until just the last minute or two. I capped out at $105, thinking for sure I would get it for that price or less. I was surprised that I was outbid. Hopefully we'll both find it for much cheaper than that in the future. 😉

Thank you Richard, and yes I agree, this is one that holds high esteem in my collection. Thanks for watching my friend

Thanks my friend! Yes next is the ships and vehicles, but I'm going to do some mini-series. One of the Topps cards and one on the vintage creature toys.

@@thepadawancollectorofficial love the idea !!!!! Keep them coming!

Thanks Mike!!!! Now for a little break before I tackle the vehicles and ships!!!

Haha true!

They are on my channel for each and every set now :). Thanks for watching Chris! I may do some over again to give more in depth though

Yup!!! It was!!!!

Thanks Mark! MTFBWY!

@@thepadawancollectorofficial your welcome keep collecting your star wars figures and vehicles

Thanks John and thanks for your insights as to where you and your family shopped. I remember going to Sears to buy the big things with my dad, like BBQers, Lawnmowers, and refrigerators. I never thought of them as having a toy section for some reason. For that there was toys R US - even JC Penny I never thought of as a toy store. Going there meant school clothes lol

@@thepadawancollectorofficial You bet! Where I grew up in Western Nebraska, we didn't have very many hobby or toy stores, and none were nearby where we lived. The only stores that my family went to that carried toys were Sears, K-Mart and Gibsons Discount Center. The last one never had any of the new toys back then. They didn't have a lot year-round, but when November came around, lots of stores had toys - especially the hot toys of the year like Star Wars was starting in 78. Even Wheelers - the local hardware store had a few. Sears really became a good toy store then with a whole section devoted to Star Wars. It was the only big department store other than K-Mart in our area, so they got sent a lot of stuff. You could see almost every Star Wars toy that was in the catalog in person in the store during that time. Our K-Mart had a pretty good toy aisle in November too. That's where I got my first Star Wars action figure: C3PO from. I do remember going to a Toys R Us in Denver, I think in 1979, when I had to go there to see medical specialists. I was wowed by the massive displays! I'd never seen an entire store devoted to toys before. In 1980, a local guy started his own version of Toys R Us called "Sir Jim's Hobby and Toy Castle' in a much closer town than Denver. In my eyes, it was even better because he made it look just like a medieval castle inside and out. Even had crenulated walls, a turret on top and a little moat with a drawbridge in front. I wish I could find pictures of it somewhere because in my memory, it was incredible. He had everything in there from parts to build and repair firearms and bows to model rockets to model trains, kits, to little kids toys. I found the best model rocket kits for 4-H there as a kid as well as getting to see every Star Wars toy available as they came out, along with all the other toy lines. By the time I went to college, he had had to sell the place and shrunk his business down to a tiny little store front downtown. Good times!

That’s good info to know Alex thank you! Cheering you with a cup of coffee! ☕️

Thanks Pascal!

Thanks Dwayne! I’m still on the hunt for a few of those items. I have asked everyone!

Hey Lorna! I'll go check the post now!!! Thank you for watching and I'm honored to have you here!!! MTFBWY

@@thepadawancollectorofficial Hi, did you manage to get them OK? 🙏🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

That definitely was a thought in everyone’s mind at the marketing department!

Yes these tend to run for higher amounts no matter what condition they are in. Thanks for watching Brian

Thanks T!

Great question, and at that point you would have to do an x-ray if the box. I have seen examples where CAS has done that for some collectors.

Yes this one usually has a high price range no matter what condition.

Hey James! Next up is vintage Star Wars Ships and Vehicles. But I'm also going to do a mini-series on the Topps cards and the Vintage Creature Toys.
