    Meccano Rarity Information

    I'd put R2 as more common than that, and Stormtrooper at the top of the list. Just from my experience trying to track them down. Jawa Ben DSC C3po Tusken R2 chewbacca Leia Vader Han Luke Stormtrooper

    Harbert Rarity Information

    Anthony, What is it you'd like to achieve? If you just want a selection of cool stuff then go for the cards you've mentioned - but if you're a completest then you need to pick your battles. A set of the first 12 or 20 on Harberts is a near impossible task. Han is incredibly tough, with only...

    Change to imports fees (US to UK)

    It will be ebay policy, not UK tax rules. Full duty and tax is not payable on everything, including vintage toys, but the GSP charges it indiscriminately. Their smallprint states that in these cases it is not charged as a tax and will not be paid to the relevant authorities, but is simply a...

    Power Droid Palitoy 20back at aciton

    There might be a train collector forum somewhere with some old fella moaning about winning a 'power droid' when he just wanted to practice bidding ;)

    Power Droid Palitoy 20back at aciton

    That would be nice! I thought I'd be in a with a decent chance on the PD, but was almost £1000 off in the end. Oh well, plenty to spend money on... I did go a little off piste and ended up with a Transformer though!

    Meccano Rarity Information

    Lots of books out there written by very knowledgable French collectors - even with a rarity ranking. I'd pick those up first to get you started.

    Collection or Obsession?

    Obsession I think. I probably need to go cold turkey for a couple of months... right after I land what I'm looking at now (1 day after my last acquisition).

    -what's a true holy grail...

    I'll go with that - a screen used at-at or star destroyer model would probably be my grail, or perhaps the probot. In terms of toys... A full run from clay to production for one of the vintage figures.

    Why is prices going up ?

    I'm not sure a 30a Luke Bespin was ever £3-4k consistently? Perhaps one AFA 85 fetched that, but most were around £1500 or even lower. The 30b would have fetched that. Chewie definitely dipped, but supply has dried up and again it's a tough card to find - I've had offers for mine which were...

    Jim Stevensons Health

    Nothing surprises me anymore. I know of other examples of people's misfortune being jumped upon. Such a shame about Jim - he was my first introduction into collecting, seeing his add in M&CM.

    Maxf's collection - mini update p4

    I added a second Trilogo Luke to my collection yesterday, as part of a very smooth cash/trade deal for a meccano. Not in the best shape, but pretty cool being the brown hair luke with a bespin saber. Here it is next to my luke hoth. 5 more to find!
