[QUOTE="subzero, post: 499961, member: 9185"] The very first time I got into vintage collecting was in 2002, I did collect Star Wars merchandise previously though from the 90's after the Special Editions came out when I was barely a teen, collecting random modern 90's tat such as the original trilogy Micro Machines and also Tazo's too which I loved, and there was lots of other little things which iv'e now forgotten about. Memory is very hazy now about what it was that got me into collecting vintage figures in 2002 since it's been so long, but I think it might have had something to do with Attack of The Clones coming out which coincided with me rediscovering a couple of our family's old vintage figures in a landing cupboard full of old family junk. Those figures ( with zero accessories whatsoever ) were a Gamorrean Guard, an ERG with the cloth all completely torn off and a 4 Lom with no coat, I always remember finding and displaying those figures before I collected anything else. From that point on I started travelling to an indoor market after work on Saturdays where I discovered a guy who used to sell a very small handful of vintage figures, and I started collecting from there. Then I discovered an ebay advert in a collectors magazine which told me I can find and buy all the Star Wars figures I need from there website, many postal orders got put through their paces for a while along with my bank balance. :lol: This collecting stint didn't last long though, maybe about a year ( or less ) I had that typical young person's 'fad mindset' where I discovered it, needed everything right now and went into debt for it, until one day I suddenly needed money and sold everything and moved on. :lol: And then in 2015 I got back into SW collecting again because of collecting other toys from my childhood from other franchises, this fed my nostalgia bug again and eventually wanted more SW, so iv'e now basically ended up with the perfect nostalgic collection I dreamed of having in 2002 that never happened, only this time it's here to stay and i'll never be selling it.
