[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 485293, member: 4095"] From my point of view I think resell are a great way to put together a budget run and there's some fun in finding nice examples along the way. The prices for these can vary quite a bit due to condition and if they're complete with footers and figures so it does depend on what condition you would be happy with and how much you want to spend. That said though some reseals can go for a low price at times depending on the time of day (you know how eBay can be). As for 12's verses 20's there are certainly less 20's to get but a few that seem to command a higher price like power droid. You will probably see more 12's up for sale but as with the 20's there quite a few higher priced ones (and more of them), like Luke, Han, Leia, Ben, Darth and Chewie. Maybe as you have a couple of 20's already it might be the way to go if you want a complete run or you could get a mix of the easier to get 12's and 20's and then fill in the gaps as things appear. I'd say it's going to be a slow journey unless you have the funds for the higher priced ones as they appear but recently there has been some of both card back runs on eBay which should help with condition and cost at the moment and Drexler who used to be on this forum has been selling off his reseal collection he put together recently so there are some available right now or coming soon I'm sure. He's also had a few of the harder to get 30 backs up that have gone for a reasonable price recently. Reseals do look fantastic on display and I love the fact that these toys were opened up once and played with and someone loved the packaging so much back in the late 70's that they kept them, I know I wish I had. I put together a nice Kenner first 12 moc run years ago but as soon as I had my first Palitoy reseal in my hands I sold them all and just concentrated on Palitoy reseals. The feeling of seeing that Palitoy logo again was so strong that I knew it was the run for me and I really enjoyed my time putting them together. Best of luck with what you decide Mike but I think it's definitely worth moving forward with it in some way, I'm sure you won't have any regrets. Ian [/QUOTE]
