    Thoughts on this?

    Fully appreciate republican desire to remember those that have lost their life under British rule, this however is an empty foolish gesture. Refusing a simple act of remembrance for those fallen from all allied forces in foreign wars? Maybe the fact that he represented Northern Ireland at youth...

    Board Poll - Do you support UGrading

    I don't want to stir this up again as it seems to have settled, so does the original thread still exist? I'd like to read it, Robbie has a right to defend his view so I'd be interested in reading it. What are the arguments for trading Ugrades? Is it a purely financial gain, being free to collect...

    Board Poll - Do you support UGrading

    If someone wants to grade a figure on a ruined MOC, can you not just ask for standard grading and to drop the U grade? It would be an ethical compromise in my opinion. If its a real total beater card and not what's wanted, why buy it in the first place? Sell it to someone who wants it and use...

    UKG My experience

    Great summary Jez I share the same view in terms of my overall experience. Regards the price, obviously you're getting the grading on top of the casing and UKG is a business at the end of the day, at £25 a figure I think you can recoup the costs if you buy low and sell well, not always easy of...

    UKG Grading - Does it add value?? Your opinions please.

    I've used UKG for 3 MOC's and was pleased with the grading of 80% for all 3, I was a little surprised to be honest I expected a 75 for at least one of them based on my AFA experience of grading (which can be very harsh in my view). Harsh is fine though really, as long as its consistent across...

    Latest Acquisitions

    I was looking at the afa one on rebelscum think the same thing! I guess a wampa is a figure, just a big one, but then why not a tauntaun and a Dewback,Rancor monster too :D.

    Looking at the cardback I assume it's the 4 rigs and the battle damaged xwing. Never seen the mini rig on the cardback that's next to the xwing with fx8 in before?

    It's a strange hobby where the imitations are 1000 times more expensive than the real thing! :D Well one day I might look at some loose, I really like them.

    I think they're pretty cool and want a couple one day! What do most people think, an interesting side note to the star wars vintage story or overpriced bootleg rubbish? I think the blue stars and headman especially, what price do they fetch loose and could you get them graded? A certified...

    C-3PO on ROTJ??

    Some of them seemed all over the shop to be honest $280 for an ig88 when I have one in very good nick on the way today for a quarter of that price. They were updated this year too. It's hard I guess as different cardback and bubbles etc vary the price but some did seem way off mark. If there...

    C-3PO on ROTJ??

    This price guide lists a price for a standard c3po on a Rotj card. I thought you could only get the removable limbs on this cardback?? Can anyone clarify? Ta http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-star-wars-toy-price-guide#module149712148

    Top of your Xmas wish list...?

    I'm training her slowly she can name most of my figures and was talking about different card backs to her mum the other day! If she did buy me something she needs to know her modern from her vintage !! :lol:

    Top of your Xmas wish list...?

    I collect Rotj moc's so interested in any I don't have but I think the one I want most is a Luke farm boy. The mrs is well aware and she knows it would be top of my Xmas list! I know boba is probably more expensive but that's not the be all and end all, Luke would be THE centrepiece for me. So...

    feel sorry for this seller.........

    Yeah I was watching that one too, can't really expect too much more for it. I wonder if you could submit it for a U grade? Probably the only way I'd ever consider it really. He did indeed have some nice figures, loads of graded Rotj moc's at sensible prices which is what I'm now after. I was...
