Hi everyone,
While visiting my parents at Christmas I took the urge to have a look at my collection that has been in their loft for nearly 30 years...and fell in love with my figures all over again.
Being mainly Jedi & tri-logos I don't have many SW or ESB carded figures but I brought them home with me and on this great forum I found out about GW cases and bought some for my figures.
The cases really add an extra dimension to the figures.
I'm loving the forum but have so much to learn and to get my head around. When I was collecting as a youngster I had no Idea about A,B,C backing cards or of the variations in figures etc. I just looked in the sci-fi mags, found some ads for SW sellers (I was saddened to read on here of Jim Stevenson's passing. I got some of the figures in my pictures from Jim) and phoned them to see if they had a Stormtrooper or Darth Vader figure etc and then spent agonising days watching the postman go up and down our avenue. No internet in those days and the frenzy that goes with it.
Time will tell if I try and add to my collection. It's always been in the back of my mind that I never completed a 12 back collection 30 years ago but I have half of them so it's a decent starting point, though I realise to add to it, even if they're available, my eyes will be watering quite a lot prices wise.
I'm enjoying everyone's experience, knowledge and collections and hope that you like my small collection.
