Had a successful nostalgic pick this weekend as I was out freestyling Lancaster County with Pennpicker Sr... We stumbled across a yard sale that had some tell-tale signs that something old may be there. I picked up a box to find an original 1979 Millenium Falcon with 5 figurines, and a newer version of the Falcon from 2004.
The best part of this was that, as I was telling my dad all about the pick, that you never see any Falcon's with the Force Training Ball still in it, because it was the size of a pea and connnected with a string (it's the little black ball on dangling from an old piece of string). Anyways, it was there and was complete except for the radar dish, not bad for a yard sale!
Star Wars was one of the first things I started collecting many years ago, after my He-Man phase. Now I sit her typing as Episode 1 is on TV. I'll post some pictures to show you why the Falcon was the coolest ship in the fleet, and also the flagship of the Star Wars Movies.
