Beyond Mortal Kenner, Part One: Star Wars

Ever since Sylvia and I moved to our current residence, I've been decluttering and sorting all my stuff into compact storage. During that decluttering, I threw away the many old toys that had been damaged over the years. 

This is what remains of the Kenner Star Wars figures I had in Leaf Rapids. I'm missing Princess Leia, R2-D2 (a real bummer, since that was the very first figure Mom and Dad bought for me at the Town Centre; plus, R2 remains my favourite character), the Death Squad Commander, Death Star Droid, all the droids from the Droid Factory (and the Droid Factory itself), my X-Wing Fighter, and my TIE Fighter. But I don't mourn their loss; all those toys were well-loved and played with often through my childhood, times shared with good friends weaving nonsense adventures in back yards and sand pits. 

At some point, I'll donate the least worn of these figures and discard what remains. But not quite yet.
