So
I buy a fair bit of modern, but since it is mostly internet reorders that everyone gets not too much exciting, but recently I started playing around getting (or re-getting) some vintage stuff and dug out my copy of the Star Wars Action Figure Archive and predictably I fell back in love with the POTF2 figures.annoying that I got rid off f mine but re-collecting is the new collecting….
My plan is to get a run of basic figures and all the creatures. (Already have the EU/Shadows and cinema three packs anyway).
I suspect a few vehicles and deluxe things might sneak in… also while figures are cheep and cheerful - when did the creatures get so expensive…
Anyway. - enjoy

POTF2 is a massively over looked line and a fun one to collect…in my opinion.
As you have mentioned the creatures are creeping up in price as of late, have you had a look at the prices of the ships, especially the sealed ones?
I was very lucky to pick this Italian GIGI Falcon up MISB the other week, which was almost as much as a Vintage one.
Good luck in your re collecting, I do have some Italian GIGI carded figures for sale if you go down that Foreign route.

Ha - thanks
No, i think keeping to simple card-backs is the way. I have ended up buying the TaunTaun's and Wampa/Bantha from the US and that worked out cheeper than any
UK price, even with shipping/import - which is nuts - those things were £10 a creature back in the day.
I am looking at vehicles, x-wing, Falcon, Snowspeeder etc. and they have jumped up, i remember going to the old Forbidden Planet store when it was at the far end of Oxford Street and picking a Falcon up for £20 and the other vehicles for less (I also remember buying a EP1 Pair of Royal Naboo Starhips for £30 a pop... bargin).
POFT2 gave us a lot of innovation and new stuff, and despite the bulky bodies - pretty fun line and a good one and at 25 years old not sure it can be called modern any more

Next wave of figures - no issues on the cost of figures - rather shafted on shipping, but such is life.
