Yeah, agreed but saw they’d done Bossk, which seems like a random figure to do if they just want the “main” characters back in print.

I saw that other Retro line figures are available for preorder, including the Emperor, and from the images online they look identical to the vintage figures. Does anyone know if the plan is to eventually release new copies of all of the full vintage line?

Thanks. I don’t know what that is but I’ll take some photos later.

I’d like to get a book that covers all the vintage toys from ‘77 - ‘85, including figures, vehicles, and playsets, with photos of each. There seem to be a few available but some don’t have playsets or vehicles. Is there a book with comprehensive coverage of all the vintage releases that anyone...

A few years ago I was contemplating selling off parts of my collection but thankfully I held onto all but 1 figure (Yak Face, sold for £220) and gave it all to my 6yr old son (5 when I gave him the toys) and he is obsessed with them. We’re now rebuilding and expanding the collection, buying...

Is it worth attending on the Monday or is that generally the poorest day with everyone getting ready to leave? Would love to take my 6yr old but all adult tickets are sold out except for Monday.

I had two when I was a kid in the 70s/80s but then when I was a teenager in the late 80s I decided to sell off some of my stuff, including duplicates. So naturally which of my 2 jawas did I decide to keep, yep, the cloth cape and sold the vinyl cape along with a bunch of other stuff for what was...

Does anyone know of any shops in Bristol? There used to be a great one called on Park Street but it’s long gone sadly.

Just to be clear, I also don’t approve of repros of original figures, I just like the look of some of the new repros like Bantha and Garindan.

Does anyone know if the old Kenner molds stick exist? I collect vinyl and the reissue market is huge, I’ve never understood why someone doesn’t reissue the original line of figures and ships.

Thanks for the heads up on the other customerizers, I’ll check out their work. I never really thought about it before but I wonder how Kenner chose which characters to make into figures? They certainly made some odd choices in terms of who they omitted compared to some of the ones they made.

I don’t know anything about personally, just saw a lot of his creations on instagram. Have seen good reviews of his bantha and bad reviews of someone else’s version that looks terrible.

That’s a good point, I saw his reproductions on line and they look like perfect copies. To be fair, he puts SS on the back legs so people know they’re repros. If you’re a new collector and really want a Yak Face or EV-9D9, then as long as the figure is branded a repro like his are, or isn’t...

My interest in my collection was recently revived when I gave my old vintage collection to my 5yr old (about 95% of the original run of figures including some POTF) and a bunch of ships, creatures and playstations. I’ve since come across the custom market and some of them look excellent...

@Mini99 thanks for the advice!

Thanks for the tips! I’ll check out Echo Live and Farthest From, I’ve not heard of them but thought there’d be a good toy fair to visit. I already managed to get a decent priced Millenium Falcon and clean up the battery points so that it works with lights and sounds. I’d like to get the Ewok...

I haven’t posted in a long time (last time I was wondering about the value of my collection from the 70s/80s). Since then I’ve passed it on to my 5yr old who is now obsessed with them! It’s also nice to see how respectfully he plays with them (like all his toys), so they’re not getting...

Thanks for that. I’m going to get out all the accessories this weekend and see what I have.

Thanks, is there a good online guide with photos of each figure and their associated accessories?

That’s great thanks! I’ll start matching weapons to figures.
