Mint condition loose farmboy luke and princess leia with original weapons etc, got from same buyer/combined postage and paid about £6 total. I've recently seen the Leias going for £20! Were listed just under their character names in sci-collectables (usually I just browse in the 'star...

Love the sqiud head photo...

I paid £2 for mine and 'touched up' the black bits with paint and it looks great as the silver was really good... but that doesnt answer your question does it! Anyway, I'll say yes, but no more than that......

Hi, are you American? :wink:

She actually shows interest in my collection and notices when new figures arrive! Between us weve done well selling books and stuff on ebay over the last couple of months so when the paypal account tops up again I can more than justify shelling out. I've got issue 1 of Star Wars comic which I...

A woman with a helmet! thought you only got that kind of thing in Thailand....

My wife's not a lesbian! ...Errrrr, as my collecting is limited (by myself!) to loose figures it's not really an issue as it doesnt break the bank, though at some point soon I want to buy a good co Yak Face, Amanaman and Barada so It looks like I'm going to have to find a way of justifying...

Paint it with slightly thinned white gloss and then when nearly dry (tacky) dust him with loads of talcum powder. I found this gives a good finish and still looks plasticky, not too shiney.

I dont know, It probably wont work at all! If the bleach penetrates just a tenth of a mm into the figure and the sun is hot/bright enough, something might happen! The limbs are 'softer' than the body so i'm hoping they would discolour sooner(saying that, the bleach has darkened so somethings...

...and here is Yoda on his undocumented visit to Hoth, showing off his 'Force-Lift' skills on a Wampa to some impressed rebels.

It was either here or vintage showcase... Thought I'd start a thread for random figure/playset/vehicle photos, be it of distressed figures, your fave figures dressed in other figures clothes! other peoples stuff (who are not members), items dug out of the ground, diaramas, in production customs...

Very nice lot, Always scan the local ads for such a bargain but I think people are more savvy these days, a nice little profit could be made on ebay from all that but then sometimes a bargain is just worth keeping yourself...

Hi Mark and welcome... You're brave, I decided early on not to go down the cardback route, I'd feel inclined to aim for perfection, and personally, I cant afford that (though never say never) Loose figures all they way for me, they display well and you can still play with them with your mates...

Nice, but why Han Hoth! surely there are more interesting figures with more wonderous variations out there?

His postings are drying up, I think this thread may have done the trick! (along with the massive amounts of hostality).... ....also I have to appologise to all those hoping to recieve wonderous gifts from him, I do hope you arn't dissapointed if he decides not to share his bounty with you...

UK Graders.... Sounds like you're building up interest anyway, you found the right place to visit here by the sounds of it. Good luck to you, it's difficult for any new business starting up, I wish you all the best.... Will you be grading/selling any of your own collection? I will keep an...

So lets say i bought a figure for £5 and it appears to be in absolute mint condition with original weapon etc, I send it to you for grading and it gets (possibly) a good grade, this will cost me roughly £20, I'll get it back in one of those acrylic cases with a sticker/note on ith stating...

Head/body of Squidhead, Hammerheads arms and a 4-LOM chestplate, I might make one when I can be bothered!!!!

I understand they hold the 'majority card' with reguards to trading VSW but If people dont want to buy/sell on ebay then dont! I never collected as such prior to ebay, but i'm sure there was a trade in vintage star wars via clubs, friends, little indi sci-fi stores, antique/retro stalls in big...

Thanks for all the response, still quite new to all this forum etiquette so it's good to see everyones take on the matter. There are 'shits & ****s' in every playground and i doubt most are offended by these, it was basically the general atitude/rambling of the said individual that was/is a...
