    ROTJ Retro Collection

    I'm sure they will restock . For whatever reason these have taken an age to be released (announced last year). On mine the paint jobs on the Tusken and Death Star commander are both really good - looks and feels slightly different to vintage, more like an interesting variant . This wave is much...

    ROTJ Retro Collection

    I've got one. I managed to pick this set up early. The new multipack is the best retro set so far in my opinion. The cards are lousy but the figures are great. R2 and C3PO especially.

    Meh. Give me Andor any day of the week.

    Do you still collect?

    I wasn't a long time collector , I only got back into vintage SW around 2015 ish and it was brilliant to reconnect with my childhood and pick up the figures I had (and never had!) the first time around for modest sums. Felt like a not very serious hobby. Happy memories !

    Do you still collect?

    Priced out of vintage Star Wars. I love them but don't feel the need to own them anymore - can't justify the costs, so time to move on. Picked up the retro collection figures from the OT as they're relatively cheap and cheerful .

    Star wars jawa action figure

    Stand corrected. I thought the bubble stem on a VCJ was much flatter ! Glad the answer still the same 🤪 every day a school day

    Star wars jawa action figure

    No worries. The figure on its own is probably worth 10-15 quid these days I should think. I'd imagine his blaster is a repro too but can't see that well on my phone.

    Star wars jawa action figure

    Counterfeit. The most immediate tell imo is the bubble stem, which should be flat. Well that , and the overly shiny cape and played with figure (see play wear to his hands). I'm sure experts on here will point out a million other things!

    Storing mocs in star cases stacked on top of each other

    Thanks for the tip - I can imagine how that might work and avoid scratches when putting cards in. In my experience the cards still moved around a bit once inside the cases which scuffed them a little . BUT I moved mine around a lot in storage boxes, which was unwise. I also stacked them up and...

    Storing mocs in star cases stacked on top of each other

    Totally agree with Ed. Acrylic cases look awesome for display but I have inadvertently damaged cards with them through rubbing and scratching on the side rails.

    Andor! SPOILERS ALLOWED

    I don't think Star Wars output should necessarily be straight jacketed into a cannon universe. What you get is endless 'member berries and boring films constrained within a timeline where you know the ultimate outcome of everything. Everything SW since the OT (and arguably PT) has been fan...

    Andor! SPOILERS ALLOWED

    Yep it absolutely gave me 1977 vibes - It felt very Star Warsy to me. More so than anything else produced so far by Disney. I thought the first episodes were plodding so maybe this put people off (along with kenobi and fett both being dreadful) but it developed really nicely. My only gripe is...

    Willow Series - SPOILERS!!!

    The tone of the show is just really odd. I appreciate it must be difficult to make a show that appeals to nostalgic adults and young teens, but the humour is jarring. I like the idea of a light hearted fantasy show that doesn't take itself too seriously, but it's just very clumsy. One or two...

    Picked this up last week at a great price from Michael S. to see if it would help me regain my vintage collecting bug. It's lovely - but just not getting joy I used to out of the hobby, sadly, so going to release him back into the wild! It was a great price so only fair to offer back on this...
