Thank you so much for this opening video. I myself had been an avid Star Wars action figure collector since the first release of action figures. I was in the Star Wars fan club since 1978 with its introduction and kept every issue of Bantha Tracks. In all I had over 8k actions figures, and over 350 vehicles. Every Star Wars thing that was introduced, I had. Every mail-in figure I had. Every release of 'Exclusive' store issues, I had multiples of. Also, I had the original comics of Star Wars in the original packaging of 3, with multiples in unopened bags. The fast-food Star Wars exclusive sticker collections. I had 12 boxes of unopened card packs released in the 70s. My collection was austere and impressive. I kept my collection cataloged and carefully boxed and stored in an outbuilding on my property not counting the petite portion I kept on display in my home. I was so proud of my collection. I had purchased vehicles for each one of my children as they were born when each different movie came out. Each vehicle I had multiples of so that they could play with them and then have pristine, unopened boxes to give to their children one day. My lifelong collection was lost 6 years ago in the Northern California wildfires that killed so many and left so many, like myself, homeless. People will tell me it was just stuff and that my family survived is 'ALL' that matters. It is NOT all that matters. It is the MOST important thing that matters but it is not ALL that matters. My past mattered to me. Watching you unbox these figures brought me right back to the joy I had with each purchase. Such good times. Take care and may the Force be with you, always.
@@TheSavageRepairman I am so sorry for that huge loss of such a great part of your life. Thank you for choosing my channel to try and reconnect with Star Wars. May the Force Be With You as well.
