Okay, here we go, it’s that time again…
My favourite thread of the year, it’s brilliant to see what great item you have all added thought the year.
In case your memory is as bad as mind here’s a link to what you hoped to add.

My favourite thread of the year.
How did your year go?

Here's a link to last year's thread in case you can't remember

2023 Collecting round up & 2024 Plans

So I figured we were close enough to the end of the year to think about this one. (although maybe Dec will see a last splurge of purchases and gifts... Farthest From on the 10th maybe...) Last year I said I wanted to round of my POTF2 Collection and focus on 40th Anniversary stuff and...

Personally I had a great year adding some great items to my collection at a more budget friendly price as the market "re aligned".



2024 Goals:
Han Solo and Greedo 12/20 back to complete my 12/20 back run, finally. YES/NO
Leia Bespin Tri Logo YES
DSD Tri Logo NO
LXW Tri Logo YES
EV9D9 Tri Logo YES

Personally I have had another great collecting year with both of my runs getting closer to completion (if there is such a thing).
Prices seem to have come down and items are more available as people sell up or change focus.
It’s pleasing to see a little more action on here too, lets keep the momentum going in 2026.

Here are my 2025 goals:
(All MOC's)
12/20 back Han - to finally finish my Star Wars run - NO (Still after all these years!)
Tri-Logo Death Star Droid - NO
Tri-Logo Emperors Royal Guard. - NO
Tri-Logo Barada - NO
ESB IG-88 - YES
ESB FX7 - YES
ESB 4-LOM - YES
So more NO’s than YES but hey what I’m looking for is getting hard to find and in the condition I want.

And now my 2026 Goals
(All MOC)
12/20 back Han
Tri-Logo Death Star Droid
Tri-Logo Emperors Royal Guard.
Tri-Logo Barada
ESB Luke Origional
ESB R5 D4
ESB Death Star Commander
ESB Stormtrooper

And here’s the shameless request, if anyone has any of the above please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Thanks in advance.

And a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all.

2025
Pass, zero real plans, maybe buy a MOC?

Bought a budget MOC and sold it again almost as fast. I did however pick up a cheeky DT Luke quite early on in 2025 and I’d like to report I still have him.

2026 hopes and dreams:
Leia Bespin Trilogo - potentially from Edd if he’s still selling

Beyond that, not a clue - random prop bits, some other Luke related bits, maybe a Luke Trilogo. The magnificent 7 will be mine one day.

Which Luke Tri Logo?
All are pretty hard to find, Luke Jedi the easiest I would have thought.

I desire them all - I’ve owned a few. I’d take any as a win, I’ve even seen budget friendly Hoth and Bespin (relatively speaking) over the last year or so.
