RE: Hanshotfirst and The Holy Grail... of toy collecting.
I like reading your posts, because there is always a hidden meaning at least that is my opinion. It feels like you are telling something about yourself but not like with straight forward words but with little hints. From this posts I understand that you were grown up in happy family, surrounded by loving parents, your father already prepared a present for your 10th birthday, so he definitely did not forget. That last present became the important part of your life, as adults we do not speak about our parents with our friends, but this toy is a helpful tool to do that. Have you noticed that you mentioned :
the 1980 Kenner Star Wars Darth Vader's Star Destroyer Playset.
eight times. That is why I conclude that this is really important for you. Also this time you discover your age, you must be around 45-sh.
Cheers and have a nice week :)
Yep I'm 46. And I kind of mentioned it so much on purpose. Part of the joke like it was a commercial for it.
A good trick and really fun :)
