    Zam Wesell's speeder! I can't get over how cool this thing is, it's the only Star Wars thing that I want in real life, next to one of those replica lightsabers. Zam's speeder defines the word "cool" for me, compared to it everything else is George Lucas's weird fantasy, but this toy has got so much style man. I'm almost embarrassed to get caught flying this toy around in my room.

    Hard to pick one really, but the one that I saw that "had to have" when I saw it was the 12" Han and Taun Taun. It just blew me away.

    Beyond that I would have to lump all of my vintage into a group. YOu can't beat the vintage for bringing back great childhood memories.

    You know, I saw Zam's Speeder on clearance for 6 bucks a few weeks ago at K-Mart, but after hearing the horror stories of how Zam doesn't even fit inside it I passed. The very next day I had a change of heart (for just 6 bucks? Hell, why not... :p ) and went back to get it, but of course by then it was gone. I've been kicking myself every time I go into Target and see it sitting there for 12 bucks...

    Anyway, I guess I'd have to go with either my AT-AT or TIE Boomer as my coolest SW toys, I have both proudly out on display on top of my entertainment center.

    Everything that was made into
    Micro Machines.
    Action Fleets too!

    You have everything in your hand!
    Main characters, armies, ships, creatures, playsets and even the
    Death Star!
    Too bad Hasbro is too stupid to keep on producing them.

    1st Favorite: Shuttle Tyderium. So Lucky to get one!

    2nd Favorite: Millenium Falcon, again got lucky. I waited really long and finally got one at Toys R Us one weekend when they had 2 left - paid $40 for it I think.

    3rd Favorite: Republic Gunship (unless the release the assault ship acclamator class).

    I agree with Xigor, everything vintage. Great childhood memories.

    But if I had to pick one, my diecast 1978 tie fighter that has DV in it as the pilot. I remember the night my mom bought it for me.

    My favorite toy Hasbro wise would be my Y-wing because it is my favorite ship and just looks great.

    My favorite toy of everything would be my MR Anakin FX saber. It is awesome and you feel like a jedi when you play with it.

    My coolest Sw collectible is probably my POTF2 Falcon. It may not be the most valuable SW item I own, but the Falcon is my favorite ship from the GFFA. ;)

    My coolest toy is the Ask Yoda. Everyone that comes over can't put the thing down, and he stands right next to my computer on my desk.

    Commtech Stormtrooper. The only way to make that figure cooler would be to give it a real holster. But despite that, its still the best.

    I am sorry to say, but I have got to say the electronic lightsabers. I love the orange one and Mace Windu's. Nothing beats a good lightsaber!

    Hmmm...hard to say on this one, so I'll just list a few of my faves.

    POTJ B-Wing - Accurately detailed and lots of fun to play with...considering the B-Wing has become my favourite of the OT fighters, it's no surprise I love this toy.

    Silver Anniversary "Final Duel" Vader & Obi-Wan - Sitting atop my monitor at work, I see these two guys more than anything else in my collection. While not particularly good to play with, the detail is great and they just look so iconic.

    Lego Imperial Shuttle - Like the B-Wing, I love the shuttle...so this makes one of my best clearance aisle finds ever.

    POTF2 Jawas (any) - Something about the glowing eye effect and the way these little guys look just always makes me smile.

    Teh Gunship - This is the vehicle all other vehicles want to be when they grow up. (minor gripe - I'd kill for a larger version with accurate gunner balls on the side)

    300th Figure Boba Fett / Sneak Preview Jango Fett - Both of them look too perfect, when displayed side by side as Father & Son they put the rest of a collection to shame.

    Darth Tyranus Electronic Lightsaber - I could twirl that thing all day long.

    Very tough choice...

    Although I don't collect the line anymore, I'd have to go with the 12-inch Biker Scout with Speeder Bike. Just an amazing piece, correct and to-scale down to the last detail.

    With you all the way lightsaberfreak!!! The Electronic lightsabers rock!!

    My favourite Star Wars toy has to be the 1996 Kenner Luke Skywalker ROTJ lightsaber. Even though I prefer the harder type of arylic blades and sound systems of the more recent Hasbro sabers, the blade on Luke's is so much longer, the hilt is too cool and basically, I learned how to lightsaber properly and all my twists and twirls on it. Never leaves my side. Christ, did I just admit that???!
