sounds like the usual vague description by Vectis, I have had to return things in the past because they cant be arsed to describe an item properly, pretty **** really when you look at the percentage they are get to market the stuff Yeah the vagueness is very convenient I thought in hindsight...

Opened my package! Very well packed is the positive. Some items were in more need of TLC than described by Vectis. When it said "split bubble" I wasn't prepared for the split I found which ran virtually the height of the figure but not enough to slip a figure under. Anyways, just glad I got them...

Yes I'm curious too. Is there a genuine reason for destroying these beautiful items or is it just pure PROFIT/GREED!? Any U grade collectors wanna comment from under there rock?

Basically some greedy Capitalist comes along and thinks "how can I invent a new angle to this hobby which will maximise profit margins?". (Encase sellers figures, give a certificate, promote value of rating to naive collectors). This grading system stinks for me. I don't need a so called...

Seller: cheeky-mischief more like... Seller: cheeky-motherf*cker! :lol:

Fellow Forum Comment:- U Grades are assigned to a process where a vintage item is removed from its packaging to then case it as 'Untouched' or 'Uncirculated'. Only one grading company (AFA) will still do this and will still assign this grade, God only knows why... it is essentially destroying a...

£3.75 per figure. Not bad!

Alright gloves off... MAX DADDY'S CREDIT CARD TOFF TOSSERS!! :lol:

Finally picked up my DPD Vectis package yesterday from local shop. Box looks well packed but not opened it yet. Excited! :D

Ha ha I knew you would put that! :wink:

Is there a 'term' used for the new breed of Snobby High End Collectors who pay way over the odds for vintage and seem to be pushing up the prices into the stratosphere then bragging about how much they paid!? If not, can we invent one please? Any suggestions please? I'll start us off with...

Totally agreeing with ScruffylookingNH 8) I've been inspired so this is not meant to be patronising, just a bit of fun and thought its about time someone put in writing the difference between a collector and an investor! HOBBY: an activity or interest pursued for pleasure or relaxation and...

I used to frequent carboots in the early 90's. Me and my sister used to sell too once or twice in the summer months. Once there I'd soon sneak off to search for Star Wars goodies. Once I found a guy selling a load of vintage Action Man but he also had a boxed 12" Boba Fett which I held and...

Agree with all. My No.1 peeve is the recent acceptance of repro weapons in the market by money grabbing conmen - it can obviously only poison the vintage hobby!? Repros should all be melted in a huge lava vat chamber like at the end of T2! A close No.2 peeve is uneducated people assuming their...

Glimmer of light after my long 4 weeks waiting for Vectis Auctions. Got SMS and Email today saying my lots have been dispatched and are with DPD. HOORAH :!:

As above :wink:

Wow I've learned a new word. 'Diorama' sounds like the perfect way to display your collection and not lock it in the attic like me. Defo the best way to enjoy what you have but as many have pointed out it's a space issue (pardon the pun!) :lol:

Think it was similar but toned down a bit!? If you look closely there's a hole at rear for another R2 unit :lol:

Awesome! I am sure the interviewer was a timetraveller - some of the questions he asked implied he knew these toys were inevitably going to be very collectable one day! He also seemed disappointed when one 10yr old boy said he'd lost interest in SW and his younger brother destroys all his SW...
