    Getting your mojo back

    At this point in my collecting, there is not much I can add to runs that I have that isn't going to cost me a decent amount of cash, which I just don't have at the moment. My buying has slowed down significantly, which tends to give one a less optimistic and fun view toward the hobby. It's fun...

    The first ever 100 graded ToyToni !!!

    That is amazing. Honestly if you were to make some of these labels, I would gladly crack my AFA graded German Han and place it into a case with your label.

    Buying from the US is killing me right now - time for a change in collecting?

    Don't worry guys - when Trump wins, the US dollar will plummet and all will be well again. In all seriousness, if any of you ever need someone other than Iain or Todd to help with US deliveries, I would be happy to help.

    Bloody typical- you wait ages for the bus...

    And the AFA case is signed by Jeremy Bulloch too! :D

    Podcasts

    I would add the Collector Galaxy Podcast to that list too. I don't believe they were around when I did the article. The hosts really love vintage and are very entertaining. You won't be blown away with info you didn't already know, but they do a good job of mixing vintage and modern.

    The Hungarian deal??

    This issue originally popped up in the 12 back group and it was squashed (we locked the thread) because Mete had Joe blocked on FB, so there was no point in allowing an argument to continue where the other person had no opportunity to reply. The issue is now in the open here - where both...

    I love gold

    I'll take a beater figure any day over those.

    What would you consider the rarest SW toy?

    Most of the main possibilities have been covered, and my personal opinion is that when it comes to production toys the most likely "rarest" are going to be some of the one-of-a-kind Poch MOCs or maybe the one or two Basa card backs that have been found. Almost everything else production and...

    I believe I paid around $80 USD and sold it for around the same price. So it's actually been devalued since I owned it. Or because I owned it. :D It was mold on it, and the litho loss was because I tried to remove the mold with a bit of water and unintentionally removed more litho than...

    That's "Dr. Display." I didn't go to display medical school for four years to be called "mister." :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    I bought it a good year and a half ago from Jordan H when I was building a beater MOC run of the first 12. Tried to (unsuccessfully) remove some of the mold from it, and then sold it off soon thereafter. It's a hot potato!

    Andy, these are fantastic! As a display collector, I don't think there is much else that compares to the visual appeal of the store displays, especially the early, SW ANH ones with the black background and the iconic racetrack. And the die cast ones nail your focus and look great to boot...

    What Best Advice Would You Give A Newbie?

    All great advice - especially the stuff about being patient and only buying stuff because you like it, not because it will be worth a lot. The general advice I have kind of combines those: Spend at least a few months on the sidelines before making ANY purchase other than maybe a loose figure...

    My most treasured piece..whats yours...?

    Here is the prized possession of my collection, and something I only recently added a few months ago, so it makes for a banner 2016 for me. There was a recent find of some silicon molds for certain later figures, and one of them was for Han Solo in trenchcoat. I am a Han Solo focus collector...

    Biggest toy regret

    This is kind of where I come out. I have changed up certain items in my collection over time, which makes things fun. I don't really regret selling anything I've ever owned, but feel I am about to make a move that I may regret. I have built up a pretty solid non-U.S. Han Solo original MOC run...
