We’re about to take a break from our run of The Phantom Menace Vintage Collection figure reviews. Not because we’re out of figures, but because we’re don’t have the carded samples yet. For the sake of this site, it’s probably not the worst thing that happened. The trends are unkind to Episode I.

When I was a kid, I got a Kenner Stormtrooper as a present for one of my birthdays. But I was pretty disappointed because I already had a stormtrooper. My dad told me that it would be fun to have more than one because there were tons of them in the movie, and I could have a whole army of bad guys for Luke to fight. That was my first experience with army building. Today, many collectors get multiples of troop figures to set up awesome shelf displays.

Did you grow up with the vintage Kenner line? It really was an amazing time to be a kid. The downside of having the good fortune of living through the golden age of toys is that you also suffered through a 10-year Star Wars toy drought. But did that stop you from collecting?

For as long as I have been in this hobby, which is exactly how long this hobby has existed, scalpers have been the villain. But do we have it wrong? Could scalpers actually be good for the hobby?
