Cheers! I don't know enough about the collectors market to know if it is a hard one to find, but checking eBay, the only other one exactly like this I can find (and there is only one) is going for $599. Which even after exchange rate is WAY more than I payed. It's a lovely condition, really...

Hello! Remember me? Remember this>>> http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=8024 Ok. So the majority of those items have now vanished in a puff of colossal financial loss. (But never mind). And have converted into this, which I think you'll be much more interested in. Which is...

Ok - so I completely understand that this is a vintage site, but out of some misguided sense of completeness I thought I'd upload the rest of my collection. I hosted them all on Tinypic so as to not chew up any of your server space. I hope to turn this lot into a single MOC ESB R2-D2. Which...

And I'm back... Sorry -been a hectic week so not had time to reply properly. The shop is called Metropolis VIntage Toys. It is on Smith Street in Warwick. The guy who runs it states that he doesn't really sell to collectors anymore, he was very honest and showed me the prices on the carded...

I think the Leia Slave girl is one of the more collectible ones. Try checking that on eBay - I've just seen one for £12.25 (still in an active auction) Yours has the "Freeze Frame" projection slide with it so may be worth more. Of all the figures in the pic, that is the one that stands out to...

Just catching up and learning about the collectors market. This whole U-grade scheme seems badly flawed to me, and I'm essentially a newcomer with no real agenda. I hate the idea of de-carding a figure purely to box it up in a different way. It totally counters the value (in a sentimental...

Cheers Dar... er Stan? I was in Warwick yesterday, there's a new vintage toy shop there with lots of SW stuff, loose, carded and boxed. It is scary, but exciting.

I have a few others with the long sabre. And yes, I know that this site is mainly vintage, but advice like yours is the main reason I am here. (Although I do intend to stick around cos even though I'm not an active collector, I do love the vintage stuff and harbour sweet dreams of 12 backs.)

You... you think my beautiful toys are ugly??? :cry: Of course they are. Vader makes me wince and the Leia figure.. Hoolie paloojie, how did that happen? I have the book, "The Action Figure Archive" by Steven Sansweet and it is such a puff piece on how much better the scuplts are on all...

That's the first 6 - I have 32 in total including a few boxed vehicle sets. (all photographed and ready to upload) Should I upload the rest in this full size format or is there are better way to create a gallery? My questions are going to be which ones (if any) are seen as being particularly...

I have a set of around 30 odd figures from the 1990's and 2000's Kenner line that I am intending to sell. (Now that I have your attention please accept my apologies, this is my first thread here and I am an absolute total n00b-de-n00b in the SW trading market so I may take a few swipes at...

Leamington - where are you?

I have a boxed Hoth Battle set and Hoth Imperial Attack set. I would hesitate to describe them as Mint. I would dash frantically to describe them as loved to delicious tattiness.

By jimbo! That is a stunning collection. You must be proud. Well done.

Hello folks! Over 30 years of Star Wars enjoyment - and I have some items that I'm going to "let go" Hope to see you around the forum - it looks great!
