    Why are we all tarnished so....

    I think SW collecting has evolved to quite a detailed level that doesn't exist in others. I am a part of WWF, Action Force, Visionaires, Centurions, Transformers, and none of them do things such as COO or detailed weapon differentiation. Most don't even touch packaging variations. As was said...

    Is this worth anything?

    "Provenance will mean everything though " It's the story that sells - So if you can photos from the premier or things like that, it will also really help. UKS

    Is my AFA graded ESB Tie Fighter Pilot... a Toy Toni?!?

    TTs are also growing in collecting popularity!

    Wow - this is shocking.

    Having now watched the Retroblast video half way through then stopped - Hmmm. He is very disingenuous in it quite a few times. Misrepresenting peoples opinions and posting private messages all over the place. And also using very violent and emotive language demonising the anti-repro groups. I'm...

    Christmas tat 2020

    My First year in 15+ that I haven't got a Star Wars Calendar (that I never use) and probably one of a literal handful that I never received Star Wars tat IN MY ENTIRE LIFE. I asked my older sister to please stop after the sequel trilogy debacle. This year she did. (Alas this is the one year I...

    Substitute Star Wars Figures

    I had a round plastic container shaped a bit like a wagon wheel (central nut - with spokes) that I can only think was a Tupperware serving platter for nuts and snacks at a party. This was my Millennium Falcon! I'd lay down a figure in each segment and fly it round the front room. This was...

    Any idea what figure this belt is from?

    I would have sworn it was an X-changer belt - but it doesn't seem to match any.

    Wow - this is shocking.

    I think if you love the thing for its value to you rather than its value to others... then you are fine. If SW is an investment, then this type of thing crushes that a bit. I personally don't go for repro - yet I love TTs! So I guess there is a line for everyone and I suppose we have should...

    Star Wars, Alien & Jaws UK TV Premieres (Betamax Captures)

    I would be very interested in watching as I watched the premiers of Star Wars and Alien! You will need to pick a website that won't copyright strike you - So someone like Vimeo probably more than the tube. If you want just a download hub, maybe Mega? Most streamers would compress your stuff...

    Ready Your Wallets, Gentlemen...

    It's funny, but since I never knew Vinyl Cape Jawa's existed until I was an adult, I feel absolutely no resonance for them! Yet things like Blue Snaggletooth, I've snapped up. Bizzare isnt it. UKS

    Starcom - high quality loose.

    Hi all! My youngest daughter (6) is loving Starcom! I have sourced a bit from ebay and my childhood collection, but it hasn't aged well. Yellowed, brittle and the physical mechanisms used have all failed. So i would LOVE to get some really good quality (not mint necessarily) but working...

    Surprised by Astons

    There is some obscure non-SW stuff that if the right people see it would go for big money... but also could sneak under the radar cheap cheap cheap. There is one thing I have stuck a big bid on - Not because it is valuable (it's literally bootleg non-SW junk) but because I had it as a child and...

    Cinemas, time to go?

    Depends on the film. Star Wars works much better in a full cinema than at home. You've all heard the tapes of audience reactions from the seventies - For me that really sells a big film. Not in a financial way, but in a pro wrestling way! It makes you feel the emotion much more strongly than...

    I've still got all my original GW stuff from 87ish to 98ish. I haven't really got nostalgic about it though.. funnily enough. Perhaps I should! UKS

    Toy Toni

    I think the ultimate SW run would be a "full" set of ToyTonis! UKS

    Ok - the wife has fallen asleep so let’s open a box! Let’s open... Ok what’s all this... An Atari VCS/2600 and games! I own one already but not this model - and have a lot of games... guess these will join them. Visionaries! I now have all them MOC. And a few doubles if anyone is...

    I've got at least 4 big parcels I haven't opened over the last six months - Two of which are Vectis.... And I can't even remember what I got. I'll have to open one today and take some photos for the thread! UKS

    Unusual Pre Cert Empire Strikes Back Pal VHS

    Paramount allegedly only used that logo that appears on this VHS between 77 to 80. This aligns with the copyright 1980 on the video. Which is far before it came out on video in 1984 - perhaps before ESB came out in the cinema. The BBFC started classifying videos in 1984 when ESB came out...
