It's a fair point Ed, but I think it's unavoidable really - if there were 5 mates collecting something then you could expect them to work together, but there are thousands of people collecting vintage and many interested in even the most niche areas... any gentleman's agreement to let something...

Fair point but It does raise buyer expectations though and there are lots of examples of the second example selling for way less than the first.

Frank Bray owns Final Frontier Toys in the US - not cheap but certainly trustworthy and legit. I've bought from him a few times over the last 20 years or so. It used to be him, The Earth, Brians Toys and Cloudcity for all of your vintage needs - ahhhh, the good old days.

Well done Jason - I think that’s a great move.

My 2019 aims were... Added a few more... I'm down to 5 for the run of SW and ESB mocs now (plus some upgrades). Done... builders were in during the spring and summer and I have a new display room/office, but I do need to find a nice glass case still for the odd and ends. Failed here... I...

Bargain - I think I paid £350 for mine! Edited to say I just checked and it was £260 but totally case fresh.

I bought 2 part sealed/reseals as ‘placeholders’ for my palitoy run - I was always going to upgrade them if the opportunity came along but honestly, they don’t even bother me know and I’m not sure I’d spend the money to upgrade given the extra ‘value’ I’d get from spending the cash. Go for it.

Appreciate Joey is a new user here but he’s been collecting for years - I bought 3 mocs from him last week which arrived with no issues.

I dont know how to answer this one really - Ive been collecting as an adult for far more of my life than I played with the toys, so some of my nostalgia comes from adult collecting and being able to buy things Id only seen pictures of before. Of course I do get twinges of nostalgia from my...

Looking forward to it - I’ve got a hotel the night before and bringing my wife for the weekend.

The vader inside looks mint, which is a good sign. It isnt above the fakers to put a real price sticker on a fake box - without better pics its hard to tell for sure.

Something Ive been after for a while - Palitoy 3 position laser rifle; box is ok, but has the window still which most seem to be missing and the gun is as close to unused as I think I'll find.

I’m not convinced they came with that bend from the factory Andy - I’ve had a couple without it... 1 sealed in baggie and 1 from a Kenner source, never circulated.

Sorry to hear that mate, but it sounds like you’ve got your priorities bang on... you can always buy more toys in the future but getting a clean break you’re happy with, and ensuring the children are minimally disrupted is hugely important. Good luck with the sale and also the future.

I managed to upgrade my snaggletooth so selling/trading the old one. It’s a palitoy 20bk and sealed with a beautiful bubble. At some point it’s had some kind of moisture damage and parts of the card are a bit wavey when angled to the light - displays very well though. Asking £630 plus...

Me too! 8 to go... 20 DSD and Hammerhead 45a Dengar, bespin guard, TIE pilot, 4-lom and C-3PO 45c zuckuss These have taken ages though and now I finally have them back on display after moving house the gaps really gnaw at me haha

Legally they may be right, but thats the problem with relying on dated laws - these auction houses expect the benefit of massive international audiences afforded through being online, then try to hide behind dated laws; shoddy behaviour which needs publicly outing IMO.
