[QUOTE="jared007, post: 464952, member: 6513"] Welcome! And congrats on starting up on the journey! At the risk of this sounding old - don't sell any of your childhood figures, you will come to realize they are the gems in your collection. I'm guessing sentimentality is one of the reasons why you are here (and one of the best reasons it is), and nothing hits that chord better than seeing your childhood figures. As others have said, you can go slow if you are just starting out. It's very easy to save yourself a heap of money by being patient and getting familiar with going rates for things. Two other bits of advice - this forum has a fantastic podcast put together by 5 of the members. It's called "The Vintage Rebellion" and is an excellent source of info and news each episode. You will find it on iTunes and other places. Second, you may like to spend some time on http://www.imperialgunnery.com/ which is dedicated to exposing reproduction weapons/items in the vintage star wars hobby. You will need to make a decision where you stand on that issue, but most (all?) collectors on this forum are against reproduction items in the hobby. Have fun with it, and let us all know how you get on :) Cheers, Jared. [/QUOTE]
