    Help Please - Star Wars Screenplay

    The value on something like this is dependant on the provenance. You will likely need to do more than an internet search to authentic it and you will need to provide a history of how it got from LucasFilm in 1976 to your possession today. This is a link to the Internet Movie Script Database...

    Why am I seeing ads?

    So - was or is there any answer to the ads? Why are they here and how do we get rid of them or can't we? Are they part of a revenue stream or something?

    Growing vintage sets & figs

    The truth is once you start collecting you never really stop, there is always a figure a vehicle or something you find or want to add and if you get hold of a few of the collectors books you'll see just how much stuff has been made between 1977 and today and of course being a SW toy collector...

    Growing vintage sets & figs

    Thanks Yeah Ebay is a pain, but it's inescapable, I recon I've had maybe 2 or 3 items go missing over a 10 year period, so not a common occurrence, but it does happen. I've been collecting properly since the late 90's early 00's, so a long time :) - I think it took me around 15 years to put...

    Wanted M.A.S.K Toys

    I know this should be in the 'other vintage' thread, but it does double as a wanted thread since I am actively after M.A.S.K. Stuff. I am now complete (mixture of boxed and loose) on series 1 & 2 and a smattering of 3. I am also into the somewhat random EU re-paints and Adventure sets - loose...

    Growing vintage sets & figs

    So finally I have all 79 figures loose and in display cases (sat in front of the 96 carded figures :) ) - As much as I would love to go after the Last 17 to get a full house here - that is way beyond me the way prices have gone these days, but very happy to have finally got a damn Cloud Car...

    Yellow vs White Figures

    Have to agree the discolouration would really annoy me.

    Why am I seeing ads?

    I wouldn't mind but they aren't even interesting or targeted adds - just a stream of shite....

    Vectis SW Extravaganza (so they say)

    Well - predictable I won nothing today> and very annoyed at this. I bid on this lot: https://www.vectis.co.uk/e007-lot-1043773-hasbro-star-wars-attack-of-the-clones-3-3/4-action-figures Which I think sold for £120 or £130, (I went £100). And now the winner has the lot on Evilbay for £380...

    Vintage weapons. Do these look original?

    Its imposible to tell from those photos (for me anyway) would need to get much closer :) - its worth checking these guys out and doing the comparisons: https://www.imperialgunnery.com/ I would say, that back in the 90's there wasn't really the repro issue you get today, so if you've owned them...

    Latest film gossip

    Fact or fiction - could be good news if it is real - although nothing is known about it, but I can't imagine a big-time A lister (and massively talented one at that) would line up behind something that didn't at least read well...

    Starting a vintage figure collection

    Oh - in terms of storage - if you go for Cards, or lose etc. look into cases to put them in (they are old so protecting them is a good thing. these guys are good and not too expensive: https://deflectordc.co.uk/ these guys are also good, a bit more expensive but great products...

    Starting a vintage figure collection

    Welcome along Sam So, as far advice goes the big one is BUDGET - set one and try to stick to it, Vintage toys can be on big, expensive rabbit hole to fall down - that said, I bet everyone of us has set a budget for an item and then pissed all over it, but try, and always buy what you want...

    Skeleton Crew - December

    Although the internet should never be taken as anything other than the pool of nonsense it has become - general consensus among the uniformed and shouty is that it will not get a second season, since viewing figures are the key metric by which these things are decided (in streaming world...
