Binding Bars Slide Grips

I'm not sure of the age of this item - it's likely to be somewhere in the ball-park of 2010-2015, but honestly I really don't know. 

When my kids were growing up I'd buy them books and "art-stuff" from a shop called "The Works" (a UK discount retail chain). They often had Star Wars sticker books at a reasonable price, and the kids loved sticking the stickers in, although the stickers often ended up on their bedroom furniture too! I recall getting something Star Wars arty from there too but for the life of me I can't recall what it was, though it was possibly some drawing outlines to colour in.  Anyway, the paper (presumably scribbled on) went in the recycling, but I kept these grips, thinking they may be of use.

Value-wise, I guess it depends on a few factors. I believe there's always a market and that will influence the value, though we're only talking a few quid.

R2-D2 Pez Dispenser

 Not much to  say on this. It is what is - a hard candy dispenser with Artoo-Detoo on top. Candy eaten long ago!

I think this was bought in 2005.

Star Wars Attack of the Clones Stationery Set

Official Star Wars stationery set from 2002 (the year AOTC came out), sold in the UK by Grosvenor.

This stationery set comprises of 2 pencils, a ruler, a rubber (or eraser, if you will) and a pencil sharpener.

As you can see, it's unopened. I have plenty of pencils so no need to break in to this. Besides, it's collectable, right? Well, yes, though I don't think it's appreciated in value much since I got it. 

Although it doesn't explicitly state Attack of the Clones, we know it is related to this particular Star Wars film because the year of issue and the fact there are clone troopers on the ruler. 

Original Trilogy (O.T.) Star Wars T-shirts

Rather than write a separate post about each of these I've decided to clump them together.

I've had a quite a few Star Wars t-shirts over the years and I've got plenty of wear out of them too. Some are long gone, a few I still wear*, and this selection here have been retired but kept. 

*I still get new ones given to me- It's an easy gift idea for birthdays!

I should really add my other Star Wars t-shirts on for completion. The next one about to retire features Minnie Mouse as Princess Leia asking Mickey Mouse dressed as Stormtrooper Luke "Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?" The other more recent t-shirts feature an X-Wing fighter, and another one with the "Dadalorian" (i.e. a father's day shirt with Mando with Grogu, however, that last one doesn't fit with the O.T. aspect of this post.)

Obi-Wan Kenobi's ETA-2 Jedi Interceptor

 Revell Model of Obi Wan Kenobi's Eta-2 Actis-class interceptor

I think this was a model made by Revell. I'm not sure of the date, but I think it was for sale in shops in 2012. Unfortunately, and very unlike me, I don't think I've kept the box. 

It's been on a shelf gathering dust for the past 12 years. I found out whilst researching the ship that the edges of the wings fold. Of course, this was after I'd taken and uploaded the pictures. If I get a spare moment (and I remember) I'll add photos with the wing tips in position. 

Masks

 A long time ago, well, the turn of the century, I picked up these Star Wars masks whilst on holiday in Orlando. I bought them from Tatooine Traders at Hollywood Studios. I got the Vader mask in 1999, and then the Stormtrooper mask the following year. 

Now, with the Darth Vader mask I disposed of the packaging in Florida, and put the mask in my hand luggage. With the Stormtrooper mask I once again carried the mask in my hand luggage, and had the cunning idea of putting the packaging in my suitcase. Why I didn't think of that first time round I don't know. 🤦

Anyway, they've been sat on a shelf for a long while just gathering dust. Every so often I'll take them out and put them on - I tried to scare my kids in their early years, however, because they'd seen Star Wars very young (gotta start them early) they were not phased. In fact they just walked up to me, said something like "cool, can I have a go" whilst pulling the mask off my head!

Anyway, here they are. They're in cupboard gathering dust, but every so often I get them out, wipe off the dust and contemplate wearing them for trick-or-treaters on Halloween! 🎃
