    The Adam and Joe Show

    I love Adam and Joe, and watched them all again recently and I could not get R2-D2 and C-3PO doing the Pet Shop Boys out of my head for weeks. Watch with caution!

    BBC 1's Fake Britain / Palitoy market

    Jason, yep, that was the main thing they discussed, and talking about some of the other 'tells' on the other cards like no crescent flaw and incorrect bubbles, etc. I don't suppose anyone has a genuine Palitoy C-3PO removable limbs on a 65 back card that we could borrow for the show?! Chris is...

    BBC 1's Fake Britain / Palitoy market

    We had Fake Britain film at our auction on Thursday last week. They brought along a graded C-3PO removable limbs, and they filmed Chris showing how to identify it as a Toni. The TV people thought they would have to smash it out of the case for us to look at it! We had a couple of other...

    Vintage items at Astons Auctions 7/8/2014

    Thanks for sticking the results up. I haven't had a chance to catch up on the forum with the auction going on last week. The prices were high last week, especially compared to the recent prices. A lot of the carded items went to a collector who was bidding in the room, he came with a set budget...

    Who's Who - Introduce yourself!

    Hi everyone, I'm Kayleigh, I work at Aston's Auctioneers and am lucky enough to get to handle all of the Star Wars toys that come our way. I love action figures and TV related toys, but I don't collect anything at the moment (I'm a completist and too scared to start). I just enjoy having the...

    old store photos (RS link)

    I've had a collection in from a man that was responsible for all the Lego shop displays from the 1970s to the 1990s (he also worked with Hasbro on the Episode I displays) and he kept a photo archive of a lot of his displays... Look what I spotted in the background of one of the photos.

    Farthest From VI

    Thanks Jez. I do! I am a bit too young to have been around for the original Star Wars buzz, but my uncle passed all of his Star Wars (and Masters of the Universe) toys to me when I was a child and I was a big fan of them before I'd even seen the films. I've gained a lot of knowledge from...

    Reproduction weapons and accessories

    I am not a big fan of repro accessories. The real ones are out there, you just have to be patient! People that are selling off childhood collections often have a few hidden gems. As others have said, once you've completed your collection you're probably going to start collecting the next (and...
