    Oh Please!

    Pointless, ridiculous and overpriced. If any of these sell at those prices, then the hobby is in real trouble.

    Meccano, Harbert and miscards - Time to find some ESB

    Fantastic stuff, not easy finding Harberts and Meccanos. That Greedo is top of my want list.

    Palitoy DSD and Jaw 20 backs

    Yeah, something not right with that Jawa. I wouldn't buy it, at least not on the basis of that photo.

    Palitoy DSD and Jaw 20 backs

    I'd say £300-400 for the Death Star Droid, Jawa is tough because prices are all over the place. I think £500 maximum.

    The Force Awakens Trailer 2 - "Chewie....we're home"

    Loving it! The first Trailer left me cold and reminded me of Phantom Menace, but this is pure, old school Star Wars with a modern tweak. That Tie Fighter cockpit shot nailed it for me, familiar yet new. Officially excited now! :D

    Vectis - 15th April (someone there ?)

    Well done everyone who bid and won, I missed out on a couple of items because of a stomach bug - woke up early Wednesday feeling awful and didn't stop vomiting until late last night, needless to say all thoughts of bidding went out the window. I was going to bid in advance on Tuesday but...

    I stopped smoking!

    Congratulations buddy, I did the same last year after almost 30 years of smoking. I was on 30 a day and thought I would give the Electronic cig a go, best thing I ever did. Now I don't miss real cigs at all, and more importantly my health is improving and I am £500 a month better off. Kicking...

    a discrete reseal

    That's a subtle reseal job for sure, I had to look really close to make sure it is resealed. :D

    So near and yet now so far... Wtf??????!!!

    Yeah I wouldn't worry just yet. I had a similar experience where I sent a parcel to Norway yet tracking info said it was on it's way to Italy, it arrived safe in Norway shortly after. Who knows how it happens, someone scans the wrong barcode or presses the wrong button.

    'The BIN is high as I am open to offers'!

    What a bloody joke. Come on here, ask for and get several honest valuations, then sod off to Ebay asking for £10.000. At least he admits his BIN is "high". Anyway, good luck with the auction buddy.

    Advice on Plastic Short-Arsed Rubbish Collector

    Yeah I'd say real also. But I wouldn't touch it with bare hands until he's had a good clean. If it were me I'd simply swap the figure for a nicer (correct) example and work on getting the cape clean, there's a thread here somewhere on cleaning vinyl capes.

    The 'Perfect' Star Wars Age?

    Born 1968, first saw Star Wars a few weeks after my 10th Birthday. Collecting the toys seemed perfectly natural until the last Empire wave, started to feel too old after that. I still continued to buy them though, but didn't play with them. When POTF arrived I had passed my driving test and...

    NEC Memorabilia

    I was there yesterday, didn't get there until 3.00pm so not much time to look around. As you said, not a lot of vintage Star Wars but I only went to meet David Warner. Did see a nice Palitoy 45a Greedo though, but never got the chance to ask how much it was.

    Petition to AFA to Stop U-Grading

    Signed, lets hope they see sense.

    Fake or Real VCJ?

    Looks fine to me, I say go for it. Because there's a question over authenticity and the no returns disclaimer, people may be reluctant to bid. I still think it'll sell for silly money though.

    Clarkson suspended from Top Gear

    Love him or hate him, he's not going away. Even if the BBC sack him, Sky are apparently very keen to have him. Can't say I actually like the man, but he does make me laugh.

    Thinking about opening something

    If it's that sweet plastic/vinyl smell you're craving, then don't bother opening a vintage piece. Any smell they had has long since faded. The modern figures don't seem to smell as strong either. In fact I think our vintage toys had near toxic levels of plastic fumes back in the day, that smell...

    I need to pay more attention to my collection

    Very nice, one almost exactly the same just sold on eBay for £235. :shock:
