The time has come to sell my collection

Hi everyone,
My name is Lee and recently joined this awesome forum. brings back so many fond memories of my childhood seeing all the current excitement around star wars and especially vintage star wars. i have watched the newer films but they just dont do it for me like how the original films lured me hook, line and sinker. and thats how i became a fan and started collecting (and playing with of course) my star wars toys. unfortunately due to lack of decent storage space in my new home, i have decided very reluctantly to sell my collection and of course would love it to go to a good home where it will be cherished. i will eventually start putting up pics for proper valuations, but for now i just wanted to get introduced and get some heads up on matching weapons with figures etc. i have 65 loose figures but only 38 weapons as over the years alot of items have been lost unfortunatley. first question, i have 3 imperial blasters but they seem to be different colours. 1 is black and 2 are black but look slightly blue under certain light. which figures hosted these colour weapons? also i have a blaster which looks like tie fighter pilots but is black in colour. am i right in thinking this is for nien numb instead? any help would be massively appreciated and hopefully some of the items may be of interest to other members which will be available soon once itemised and organised properly with good photos etc. many thanks, Lee

Great timing and good luck.

Sorry to hear you are going to have to part with your collection, the black tie pilot pistol is indeed to NN, not 100% about the others mine are a bit jumbled up with my figures.

good timing as said

on pairing figures with guns

gives run down on scuplts and weapons which belonged to each figure

good luck el capitan

thanks for the reply peeps

Welcome! The most valuable figures you have there are the Romba and Barada. They typically go for £35-45 each. I'd be interested in the MLC-3 and Landspeeder when you come to sell

There is also a Yak face figure in there too, this is commanding high prices at present.

Oh yeah- didn't see him!

Light reflecting off baldy Lobot :lol: I had to look carefully to see Mr Yak

Hi mate nice collection, when you get some prices together if be very interested in the boxed Rancor pending pics.

Cheers mate

Cheers everyone, I'll try getting some decent pics up soon for some valuation help and go from there. With xmas round the corner its difficult to find enough spare time. Much appreciated peeps

I sent over a PM for you, will be highlighted at the top of the screen under PRIVATE MESSAGES [ 1 ]

only for a single blaster nothing earth shattering, hope you do well with this lot, I am sure it will all fly off the shelves & you will get a fair price from the guys here

Excellent Carl

Please consider my PM of no importance

Sorry mr frunkstar, only just logged on and seen your post reply. I still cant see the private message section. Glad you got sorted anyways bud

Hi again, finally got some pics to upload. first item for valuation is a boxed ESB imperial attack base. the box has bad rips at the open end but the flaps are still intact (just) and the actual shape of box is ok. the attack base is complete as far as i am aware, the gun still clicks and the levers to destroy the base still work but there is no instruction leaflet. thanks in advance, Lee

Next item of the evening for valuation is a boxed ROTJ vehicle maintenance energizer. the box is still in decent condition. flaps are also good apart from top flap is creased and ripped where box was opened and damaged where original tape was pulled off. instruction leaflet is in good condition, just slightly discoloured due to age. the maintenence energizer itself is in good condition but all 4 yellow coloured stickers are starting to peel from the bottom upwards. both hoses look good but there are only 3 out of the 8 tools left. would it be worth (value wise) holding on to try get a set of 8 tools before selling? thanks in advance, Lee

I would say £50ish on the Imp Attack Base and about £15 on the VME.

cheers, Lee
