A Long Time Ago ... I became a Star Wars fan. My love for Star Wars was born when my father took me and my brother to see the original movie at the Regent Theatre in my home town, Great Yarmouth, in January 1978. I was 7 years-old. Needless to say, it made quite an impact on me. To celebrate The Force Awakens, I have created a 100-day countdown to its release. Using images from my collection, I will share my favorite memories of 35+ years of being a fan and collector of all things Star Wars.

92 days to go: My trips to the toy store
There were five toy stores in my hometown that I would regularly visit as a kid to see what new Star Wars toys they had in stock. Most of my visits were spent looking and not buying, as my pocket money didn’t go very far. However, I would often pick up a marketing leaflet or two as a substitute for the toys I couldn’t afford to buy.
