I like the Vintage Collection line and some other good qualityfigures. Some of the modern figures I think of as being 'what if?' ...you know, what if Vader had a proper cape and removable helmet, or what if there had been a Moff Tarkin figure, etc etc Our young lad likes to display them. Some...

No repros dude. The more people buy them the more will be made

This ^^^ See you later on tonight for our Midland lads' piss up :-D

Jez is the man isn't he! :D I think he deserves a special prize or something. Jez is the face of British Star Wars collecting. As they say about Arnold 'Ace' Rimmer - "what a guy!" 8)

No it's not just beat up cards being U graded unfortunately. It was only on here that I learned of the U grading and realised I had in my collection what are probably the by-products of the process - cut bubbles! To me they are/were just a nice cheap way of collecting carded figures for...

I don't really understand grading at all in any form. It's the added value that baffles me. Someone decrees that the figure has such a grade, places it in a sealed case and BOOM! a seller can charge a huge premium for it :? I do understand having nice pieces in a case for display, but not...

:lol: that's exactly what I thought :shock: :? ...I kind of get it :lol:

Toy & Hobby Preston and Chester I knew well. Did not know Wigan had one

Well done that man! 8)

People who say they've never seen Star Wars. Ok they may not be part of the hobby as such but they get on my tits. This is possibly a wider thing in that if you've never seen Star Wars then you probably just don't like watching films, and that rags me as well. I know a few people of around my...

A motley crew if ever there was one 8)

Goes well with the figure so all is not lost I guess

I'm really no expert but on first glance it looks ok. It looks aged rather than completely fresh. Other guys may be able to point out flaws with colouring or the bubble placement.

We had Toy & Hobby in Preston which is now Iceland. Nobody seems to know much about the chain. I don't know if they were nationwide. Other than that, my first figures came from an independent shop called Greenways, also in Preston. That closed down in the late 80s. I read a blog where someone...

Liking the idea of blown up micro playsets. If I had one of these printers I'd be scanning everything! ...is it possible to scan a person yet?

Dammit! I cant see them. Wants me to download some app.

Some things are currently as cheap as they were 25 years ago if you take inflation into account. Common loose figures and ships, you can hardly give them away now. £3 isn't uncommon for loose Jedi figures, that's if you can find a buyer at all.

Absolutely! Dioramas rock! If I had the space then a snowy scene, or maybe a death star set up would be on the cards. This snow diorama reminds me of a store display that was in the window of Harrods back in the day.

I've owned micro line figures but never a playset. It's something I've seen in other peoples' collections and have toyed with picking one up. One day maybe. If anyone wants to swap for a mint boxed Indy map room I would consider it

I've been round a few lately and found nothing, not even modern stuff. Most disheartening. Saying that, I did turn up a nice childhood collection in a house I was working in
