Thanks for the reply Rob. Unfortunately, I can't afford anything like a sail barge or a MOC. LOL. But, I do plan on bringing back some loose vintage items, figures, creatures and the like. Plus some other smallish items like modern Black Series, T shirts, badges etc. Should all fit in my case...

Anyone care to state some do's and don'ts based their previous experience of attending big conventions/ SW celebrations Stateside? Celebration Chicago will be my first big event on the other side of the pond. Really looking forward to it, but not looking forward to the long queues and masses of...

My apologies if this topic has been covered before, but is there going to be some meet-up for forum members in Chicago? I'm going to be there, but will be all on my own :cry: :D Would be cool if some of us could get together for some drinks and deep pan pizza! :wink:

I also seem to recall being really upset back in 1983 just before ROTJ was released because there was a playground rumour circulating around that Han Solo was going to die and the Millennium Falcon was going to blow up! :lol: I don't know how rumours like this spread so much before the...

Speaking of Star Wars on the TV and home video, I'm pretty sure it was the one of the first, if not the first thing i ever so on a video cassette. I think it came out on video in 82 and then on TV in 1984 if I'm not mistaken. And I definitely saw ROTJ before ESB! LOL! Seeing and listening to...

I thought you didn't wish to communicate Chris!!!? Gotta get the last snarky comment in, don't you!? Well, you know what, i'm in a rather good mood today and want to keep it that way. So'll let your ego stay intact, let you have the final snarky remark and cease this futile and childish...

Yeah! You got that right!!!

Yes, but my point is that most collectors still define a loose figure with a loose original weapon as complete!!!!! I think you are the one who should seek help! Help with controlling your ego and manners! If you are not capable of conducting a civil discussion without resorting to...

Very mature! :? I don't particularly care to communicate further with you either as you come across as extremely self righteous and rude!

So what about collectors like Toy Polloi who do highlight repro in their collection, but who only use it for army building? Are we to lump everyone in the same boat and say they are all lazy and detremental to the hobby? It's people like Toy Polloi who are a credit to the hobby and inject energy...

No...! I think your own point has completely gone over your own head, sir! Firstly, the factory NEVER decided what a 'complete' figure was or is. Why the hell would they care! But lets take your contention that the factory has decided many years ago what is a complete figure as a 'fact' for...

Ok, cool, thanks for the info tobeshadow. :) Seems to have been a common omission on the MTV 7 and some other minirigs then. Still happy that I got it for 50p though! :lol:

Ok. Many thanks Spoons! :)

Apologies if this topic has been posted before (probably has!), but I was just wondering what the earliest memories that people here have on collecting SW figures as a kid. From my very vague memory, I think my first carded figure was an Empire Hoth Luke. I also remember my mother bringing me...

Who exactly is it that is advocating selling repro here or on the FB forums? I'm certainly not. But I don't think we can shoot down anyone who simply has an opinion on the matter of repro! There are also many collectors who love Original Star Wars toys who do want it. Just a fact of collecting...

Personally, I don't resent anyone who collects and has a passion for Star Wars, whether they buy vintage weapons or knowingly buy repro. Life is too short for resentment. The only people i would really resent are the people who pass off fake weapons as genuine.

Exactly! That's why I don't want more seasoned collectors such as ourselves to look down on people who buy repro. Hate the people who try to pass it off as genuine and not the people who buy because they are passionate about Star Wars and collecting Vintage Star Wars. For them it will 'complete'...

The definition of what is 'complete' is in fact open to interpretation. What you are arguing for is the definition of a 'complete' VINTAGE figure. If you are stating that a 'complete' VINTAGE figure is only complete Vintage if it has its original accessory then I actually agree.

Well there is a comparison if you want the definition of 'complete' to include all the 'original' parts. Of course a star wars figure cannot be compared to a vintage car! It's the definition that is being compared, not the object. Using the term; 'lazy mans collection' is not helpful when...
