[QUOTE="Claysmith7, post: 447863, member: 6616"] Thank you all for your kind comments and advice. I probably shouldn't have posted it as "what's left" as its the majority of it, I was thinking in volume as the box it was stored in was a lot larger when I still had the vehicles and Jabba. My thoughts at the time were to just get a rough value for the lot if possible as even though it would be less than I would get selling it all separately it wouldn't really matter to me as I paid 80's prices for it all. If this wasn't plausible I was and still am willing to break it up to sell. Written on the Hoth rebel solder card is a phone number that someone gave my Dad in the early 90's as he had been looking round the stall for Star Wars figures and though we didn't have any at that time my Dad mentioned that I still had my collection. I took the whole collection over to him which then also included, the Falcon, Land speeder, Rebel transporter, AT ST, Snow speeder and Jabba all complete in boxes, though only the Land speeder box was mint. I was adding it up in my head as he was telling me what prices he would get for certain items breaking it all up, it was well over a grand but he only offered four hundred and I then asked for six but he wouldn't go any higher so I packed it all up and put it back in the loft. I would have sold it all back then and have no issues with selling them now, as they were in the parents loft I just never got round to it. I sold the vehicles as there were, in my opinion, better modern versions available of the ones I liked or never had. Bonsai; The presentation was to show I had most of the figures with their original card and weapon as back then I thought they should stay together after all this time. It makes sense that once a figure has been removed it doesn't mean much that I still have the original card as its now just a figure and a card back. Thanks again for your kind comments and advice.
