    Temporary Hold placed on funds in my paypal account

    PayPal fries my head. It keeps changing the available method of payment from bank transfer, card payment or echeque with reason. I never know if I have to pay fees or if I have to wait for some vague length of time as a result. PayPal say its because certain transactions are femmes higher risk...

    Yep TFP is one of my favourite figures, plus they smell of blackcurrant! :)

    Gutted

    Argh, I could see how that would ruin your week, sorry to hear that! I've never had a mishap touch wood. Closest I came was during a blazing row with the ex she chucked my 12 back han out of a first floor window. Star Cases are very aerodynamic luckily and it floated down into a bush, besides...

    What's the general feel around re-seal's?

    I plan to complete my run of figures up to ROTJ, then collect the remaining 15, snag, cantina band monsters, maybe a VCJ and some Bootlegs etc as loose graded items and then my work is done, or that was always the plan. After that though I think I will still want to probably collect but will...

    I sort of warmed to him, getting pissed and rambling crap all over your auction. :D he's having non of it though, that obi wan is worth a fortune no matter what anyone says. Bless him.

    Bloody hell - 3 packs

    I don't think its just down to rarity though Edd its desirablity too so supply and demand. I think its unanimous how cool the 3 packs look and a very striking and obvious alternative to standard cardbacks. I think with a one off auction like this though you have to list them at the right time...

    Do you collect or invest??

    I'm most looking forward to buying a load of beaters and setting up some battles with the youngest in the front room to be honest! The dining table is the likely rebel base! 8) I think I share the general consensus in that I don't expect to make a profit on what I buy but hope they hold their...

    Married to a ......?

    Yeah gotta be chewie there's a bromance there for sure. My girlfriend collects vintage Blythe dolls (also made by Kenner in the 70's which was a bit of a mad coincidence to find out about each other after we met!) so I would probably stick one of them next to Han and make it a vintage Kenner...

    Do you collect or invest??

    I'm sure a lot of you have been asked with bewilderment, "why do you collect Star Wars??" by a friend or a partner especially when they hear the costs involved so I'm interested to hear what answers people give. Personally nostalgia is the biggest pull for me, life is so busy with work and kids...

    Have just sourced some beaters so they should keep the little one busy for a while at least. Always after ROTJ MOC's for myself though.

    Iain's Beater Sales

    That timed in nicely with my request for beaters in the most wanted thread ! PM sent 8)

    2stripes wants...

    My youngest has been playing with my scant collection of loose recently and is pestering for me to get him a few more so if anyone has any cheap beaters they don't want let me know. Don't really need weapons but repro's are fine. I bought a couple of job lots of Skiff Guards and Bounty hunters...

    Did anyone pick up a ESB Chewbacca from Ebay

    Well the response was that the buyer had asked to pay in instalments after winning which the seller wasn't prepared to do which is fair enouh. 6 relists still seems a bit odd though.

    OT- Anyone know anything about this ring??

    No idea, nice ring though and a good price! If I were to guess I would say that triangular symbol relates to a trade maybe, there is a hand with what look like shears so perhaps a crafts guild relating to the owners line of work. Or maybe I have just been playing too much Skyrim! :lol:

    latest film/ dvd you have seen

    Watched A New Hope with my Girlfriend the other day, she actually enjoyed it and wants to watch Empire. :D

    Anyone else think this looks crap?

    Yep Often casing something in acrylic looks great it brings it to life and showcases it, other times it just entombs it and doesn't do it justice, this is the latter. There is a vintage Star Wars AFA item sealed in a cardboard box on ebay at the moment, a mail away for the tidy sum of £1500...

    Did anyone pick up a ESB Chewbacca from Ebay

    I've just expressed an interest in the Stormie to the seller but asked about why it and the Chewbacca have sold and been relisted so many times, see what they say. :wink:
