Been a while since I posted anything here, and what a better way to
get back to it than to show this off. Melissa's grandmother is moving
and they are cleaning out her house. This was one item we saved from the
trip to Goodwill. 1978 Vintage Star Wars Destroy Death Star board game.
98% intact, its missing two x wing fighter pieces, that I will hunt down
on a later date.
Best part of this was the trip to the past I got with
the fully intact, Kenner promo booklet that is still stiff from barely
being opened and in pretty near perfect condition.
This was the first of
the booklets, so most of the items inside were coming soon. I haven't
seen one of these in 35+ years.
Serious geek out moment, it was like
being five years old all over again.
I am planning on doing a little
restoration to the box, but little else. It's not that big an item that
the worth is that great but it means a lot in nostalgia and coolness to
me. Looking forward to sittng down with my kids and playing it. And
hopefully we can keep it in good condition so they can have it in the
future. Big thanks to Grandma Bertsch for letting us have this.
