Im not sure 'sticky limbs' on their own means figures are touched up - I sealed some figures in plastic bags for a few years, thinking I was doing the right thing to preserve them.... when I opened them they were almost all sticky (they werent touched up)! I believe it's plastic degradation...

DT figures and vinyl Jawas as well as proof cards have all gone up at least 10x their 2009 values... if only my wages had ;)

Action Man collecting changed for the worse after the 40th Anniversary stuff came out - prefect copies of pretty much everything. It just feels like a lazy cash grab to me.

A chap I'm friends with on FB hinted at this ages ago and just posted this, which I think is interesting... If thats true, I can see the value of loose dropping a lot, except perhaps loose AFA/UKG etc

Mine (12a) is green without a sku footer if that helps!

I pmd you as I only need the playset!

Loads of vintage I couldn't justify buying back at current market prices: All sold between 2002-2010 at fair prices back then.... Hardcopy rebel soldier torso and head Revenge of the Jedi Cloud Car Pilot Cromalin offerless Droids 4 character cromalin sheet Revenge of the Jedi radar laser...

I think you’d struggle to find a moc palitoy fett without faded limbs. Agree that £8k is too high though - last one at vectis was more like £5k wasn’t it?

in 2017 I gave up my goal of collecting the first 12 on meccano cards and sold what I had (10 of the 12), opting to focus on my Palitoy run. 2018 continued this; added a good few pieces - MOCs, MISB and Diecast I am collecting the SW, ESB and Jedi waves (so 67 figures). I have 18 to go (plus 3...

I know the individual stickers go for very little, but are there many unopened packs around or countertop boxes (opened or sealed!) around? Does anybody have a feel for the prices of these? I’d be looking for the UK issue panini packs rather Han topps. I have a lot of memories of...

Are they actually selling though? The hakes one went for 86k and they are famed for crazy pricing. I can’t help but think these sellers are chancing their arm. It doesn’t help when well known owners are blatantly backing up the prices, although whether they’d pay that much who knows...

Star Wars and Space Lego were the main lines I was bought as a kid - I had a fair bit of both. I also had quite a lot of Britain’s Farm toys. I had a couple of transformers but don’t recal ever getting any bought for me new. I went through a MASK phase and remember getting boulder hill...

I didn’t know Elliot as well as many others here, but we shared a few good curries as well as texts/emails... mostly after Elliot stopped actively collecting. Funnily enough he was an art guy and I think we had a couple of mutual friends through that hobby too. Top guy who was incredibly...

Couldn’t agree more Spoons. Another nail in the coffin of what was a great hobby.

after watching a few recently (thanks ITV2!) I'm kind of in this mindset... 1. Rogue One 2. ESB 3. Jedi/TFA tied 5. ANH 6... all the others.

Seems like a million years ago now! Wish I still had some of the proofs!

Haha - I forgot about that one!

No online but buy Mattias’ Book ‘a new proof’. If you haven’t collected them for a while be prepared for a bit of a shock in terms of prices!

Amazing! Have you considered mounting it on a mirror so you get the full star destroyer effect?

Putting F&F or plus 4% in a sales advert. Just add the cost of the sale on to your price - as a seller there are costs and processing payment is one of them... that’s not a buyers cost. I’ve even seen this on $50k plus prototypes! I might have done this in the past, as the whole world does -...
