So if anyone on the forum was selling their collection in the future then they would not want two impatient people bidding on the same thing as its bad for the community, that makes sense. Just for clarity if buyers collude to not bid against each other at an auction to keep the price down is...

I doubt anyone knows the answer to this but I thought I would ask, which is rarer a Palitoy 45C or 65 back Luke X Wing?

I would buy it, it could turn into a desirable variant like the grey limbed Hoth Stormtrooper, Cream Torso Leia :lol:

Thanks.

Disney + the new streaming service has its own category for Star Wars as does Marvel that shows how big Star Wars is to Disney. I think the investment will keep being pumped in by Disney as the brand is worth so much. As far as the vintage market is concerned that still seems buyout especially...

Hi Russ Yes I have still got it, still has Ted at the kiosk which needs to be changed to either a Jawa or Yoda just have not found the right one yet.

I think the catalyst for the price increases are more to do with Disney taking over the franchise rather than the crappy films they have released (except Rogue 1 which was awesome!). Disney offers longevity and wider audience which leads to increased demand and thereby prices. Not sure if...

40 years to complete now that is an achievement! I wish I had the patience to do something like that unfortunately I am too weak. Congratulations!

Thanks. It works well with MOC’s and comics as they are relatively shallow, not sure whether it would work on larger boxed items because of the depth. I was planning on doing another wall vault in the room leading off this hallway as it doesn’t take up any space rather it uses existing space i.e...

Thanks, really happy with it.

I hate wasting space irrespective of how much you have so the best option for me was wall vaults as they save space, display well and are secure:

As Edd said early grading for value is all about condition as many collectors search for perfection and will pay significantly more for higher grades so 80 or for some 85 will be the minimum grade. Some other inexperienced collectors/sellers may choose to grade in case they have any rare...

I didn’t realise that Palitoy DSC had been found on an A card was that a cardback or a MOC?

I am not sure why the 45B Hoth Stormtrooper went so high in the recent Vectis Auction I am just glad that I was able to secure a nice example shortly afterwards.

Just for Clarity I do help other collectors with bits I am not collecting as sometimes I get offered stuff I don’t want or get made aware of their availability. Where it gets complicated and often tense is where both myself and someone I know wants the same item especially if it is in an auction...

When I restarted collecting I had the opportunity of buying a few rare pieces that I passed on as I had no idea of their rarity. I have not had the opportunity in buying those again hence the reason for my obsession with rarity and unfortunately I don’t have 20+ years collecting experience.

You probably have been open with me and shared what you know as some others have too, I am not sure what threads there are.
