Wouldn't happen to be a relatively newer member with an affinity for all things Ice Planet, would it? ;) Ian

You're very welcome! Nice start to a focus collection you have there. Looks good, and the ones you got from me look better displayed in your shelf than in shipping crates in my basement. :) Good luck with future purchases! Ian

Considering attics/lofts are never air conditioned even in a house with a/c, and the fact heat rises (getting trapped in those areas), it is by far the worst place in a house to keep anything susceptible to heat/humidity. I have a/c, and am very thankful for it. Not just for my own comfort...

LOL, when I got married, I didn't even get to finish my sentence when we discussed music to enter the ceremony/reception to before it got shot down. :D My brother-in-law is a graphic designer, but that's of little use to you over there Michael. :( Ian

Thanks guys. Ian, if I ever did sell these, you'd be one of the few that would appreciate the personalization on it. :) Mark, in all honesty, I stopped autographing vintage before TVC was even released, lol. Cheers all, Ian

It's a bit of both Iain, but definitely more so the fault of people in authority trying to do the PC thing. Radical immigrants who are pushing for changes are certainly a small minority amongst all immigrants. I'm not so much blaming other cultures, as just showing the end result and how it's...

Pretty much exactly the same north of the border too Iain. :) I don't know to what extent, if any, this is going on across the pond, but here, cultural erosion is seen mostly in traditional holidays. In schools, we no longer have costumes or even a mention of the day on Halloween. Certainly...

You got France as runner up as well Edd. :) Ian

Or not given up that tying goal to Russia. :evil: I agree, the top half of the brackets was far easier than the lower half. England would have had just as good a shot as anyone had they won their group. :cry: Oh well, that's not what happened, and they allowed themselves to be embarrassed...

That's crazy the other colours remain bright like that, but again, judging by the plastic condition, this is fading. Throw it on ebay as a "no red" variant, and you'll make a ton. :) JUST KIDDING. Never do that. Ian

I have some very nice vintage figures here. Most are in excellent shape and complete. NO repros! I will ship for actual cost, but they are coming from Canada, so it could get expensive. Typically, in a padded envelope or very small box will cost around £5 - but it'll be untracked and take 4-6...

Oh, the game was today? I lost all interest and never checked for updates or anything. Now I have just seen who won, and have no idea what the final score was, and don't care. UGH. I have no sympathy for Ronaldo either. His arrogance all tournament trumps any chance at me feeling bad for...

I don't collect bootlegs myself, but the reason I would consider them more valid is because you can never, unless you know nothing about vintage, mistake a bootleg for the real deal. Not so with TT's. My opinion, but the whole prospect of deception is what makes me wish every TT out there...

Jason, by ruined I mean they are no longer mint unused cardbacks. They may leave minimal impressions - but they do leave impressions. They'd be worth more if they had never had the bubbles attached to them. :( I know for cardback collectors they still have value - I just mean they are now...

I can't stand the concept myself, but for some it's a cheaper way to own all original material than legit factory MOC's. I've seen long time anti-repro, anti-recard guys argue in favor of these. I think for some others, they got shafted for authentic prices when they bought these and are...

I can't decide on what to blame it on either. Is it the Disney influence, and trying to steer the line from collectors and back to kids? Is it a cost cutting measure considering how prices continue to rise on raw material? Is it that they have decided to bring SW more in line with their other...

Honestly, the ships with the cartoony decals and nerf features make them look too much like Fisher Price got the license for me. :( I like how recent figures have scaled back on articulation to provide a more solid figure overall, but hate the Batman-like accessories they all come with now. Ian

+1. I also would be forced to stay inside for 2 weeks, as the large local Portuguese fanbase would step up their arrogance into overdrive, and it would be a constant parade of cars with flags attached to their hoods (is it still referred to as bonnets over there?). Ian

Yeah, someone posts "this week's COTW is ______", and then I get inundated with a zillion email notifications of people posting pics of the same damn figure. It's very annoying having to click delete on all those emails. I honestly don't care to see everyone's picture of "x" character. I'd...

Ugh. That's all. Ian
