Want to feel old ?

The shop that used to sell Star Wars figures was on the way in to town when I was little. It used to give me an hour or two to break my mam and give in to my moaning and buy me one on the way back home.
 
This gave me a flash back to a failed crime as a youngster.

I remember being in a shop in Darlington around the time Return of the Jedi came out. The Jedi figures were new and cost a little more. So I removed a price sticker (remember them?) from a Empire strikes back cheaper figure and stuck it on the Jedi figure card.

Absolutely busted. I went to pay and the lady 'accused' me of changing the price ticket. Don't panic. This wasn't a gateway to a life of crime. I've been crime and theft free since.

That feels so long ago 🙄

It's in you though. You think you caught it early but it is still there. Watching, waiting.
It is insidious so don't drop your guard.
If you do, before you know it you'll be stood in a Post Office waving a plastic gun around talking only in cockney rhyming slang.
Thats what it does. And it's good at it.

The only one I had was Boba Fett. No idea where that went after I left home.

Worth an absolute fortune now…
