    Surprised by Astons

    What a strange auction - many rare and sought after items (30 back Ig-88 and Bossk, vc Jawas, Cantina with the 4 figures, 3 radio controlled sandcrawlers and so on) but whoever put the lots together really should have done a bit of research. Need an R5-D4 for your 20 back run? Well tough, you're...

    Buying in the 80's how we used to buy figures

    I love stories like these. I was born in '68, so was more than ready when the toys arrived 10 years later. We had a tiny toyshop in my home town and it had a very small Star Wars section, most days it was the same figures - Luke, Leia, Ben, Chewie and Artoo. Sometimes Han would show up along...

    What do you do when collecting gets boring?

    Unless you really need the money, don't sell up. Over the last 20 years I've lost the collecting bug several times, each time I've sold up, feeling it was the right thing to do. Fast forward a year and the bug is back, only now I have to start from scratch - and as we all know prices rise at an...

    Help with a 77 VC Jawa please

    I was looking at this guy as well, thinking it looks good - then I checked the sellers feedback, and noticed in the past he has sold several 'home made Jawa vinyl capes'. Huge red flag for me, pretty sure that's why no-one else is bidding. I think the cape in the pictures is real, if you buy you...

    Exclusive discount price for “The Star Wars Phenomenon in Britain” for SWFUK

    I downloaded it last week onto my tablet, but will still pick up an actual copy. So far it's been a cracking read, kudos to Craig for the research and time and effort this must have taken. Best of luck with the book.

    Palitoy 20-backs with damaged bubbles

    Some nice figures you have - all 100% real but opened and figures removed for play back in the day. Still sought after though, Palitoy 20 backs are always in demand, even in this condition. I'd say £80-150 each, more if you had the original 'footers' or if the bubbles had been sliced open at the...

    R.I.P., George A. Romero

    Very sad news, he was one of the true legends of horror and of course Zombies. Before Night of the living dead all Zombies did was stand around looking bored, they were no real threat - Romero changed all that and made them the flesh eating monsters we love today, and a multi million dollar...

    Rare 'Bob Buffet' SW figure

    Yep, it's the most feared bounty hunter in the Galaxy - Bob Buffet. Also the only vintage Star Wars listing to include the words 'crotch' and 'stain' - nice.

    Rogue One at home.

    I had no joy downloading it, despite the help of my tech savvy friend. Seems us poor Brits have to wait until April 10th. At least there are plenty of HD clips to watch on Youtube, I must of watched the Vader hallway scene to death - and I'd forgotten how exciting the Scarrif ground/space battle...

    Rogue One at home.

    I'm going to download it tonight - just can't wait till April 10th (still pissed we are not getting the Blu-ray on April 4th like everyone else). My second favourite Star Wars film - I like it better than ESB.

    Meccano Rarity Information

    As far as I know there is no book covering just the Harbert figures, there are probably several websites - do a google search. I'm sure others have mentioned, but if you're after Harbert and Meccano carded figures you will be looking for a very, very long time - they are highly sought after and...

    I have invented a time machine....

    Forget the toys, I'd go back to Summer 1976. Head down to Elstree studios and try and blag my way onto the Star Wars set. Then I'd 'borrow' a Stormtrooper helmet and quickly nip back to the present day. Simple!
