We return once again to Martyn's challenge to collect fully graded versions of the original Star Wars 96 Kenner figures. We hear some revelations about the challenge and that he didn't realise how difficult it might be. Nevertheless, he soldiered on to collect 3 more to add to the collection. Watch and find out which Star Wars characters he picked up this week.

Martyn makes his long awaited return to Southampton as we carry out our Toy Crawl (like Pub Crawl, but more comfortable on your head and less so on your wallet). Saturday, we make our way around anywhere in Southampton that might sell Star Wars Merch to add to our collections.

Sunday, we turned our attentions to Andy's Totton Toy Fair with the hope of picking up some rare finds.

Yes, this was supposed to release on Christmas Eve, apologies, I caught the Covid and it kicked my ass for a week. But it's here now - part 2 of Martyn's "Making the Grade' Journey. Lets see what pick ups he managed to get hold of this week and more importantly, how much he spent on them and what grade they are.
