I have bought a couple of items from this guy recently and although they took a while to arrive from the US they came through fine. He seems to be factering in the rarety of the AFA grade into the price.

Sorry, I thought I was doing you guys a favour - noted for future.

This German Ebayer has some seriously cool varients - if only I had the money! http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfrtsZ0QQsassZmogwai3000

The Capture Log was the offer that Dengar was part of, heres a copy of a image from http://www.palitoy.org/cardback/palitoy.html :- http://img115.imageshack.us/img115/5488/capturelogxh8.jpg

Hong Kong AFA graded red caped Bib Fortuna's have been posted on the RS forum: - I don't know if this one was fake but until recently I always thought they were only promotional pieces

Just wanted to give the varient colletors a heads up on these glasslite figures - they are all from the same seller: - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Vintage-Star-Wars-RARE-Glasslite-SnowTrooper-Complete_W0QQitemZ170071954150QQihZ007QQcategoryZ50277QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem...

I agree - definately suspect. The VC is hard to tell from the picture, but as I have found out the hard way generally if something is too good to be true it’s for a reason. Anyway with 40 minutes to go the bid is up to £77 – which is halfway towards a genuine VC Jawa from a...

Nice one, that is a bargin - U grade Klaatu's go for £30'ish Here's a couple of recent Palitoy Klaatu purchases of mine - No Skirt and miss carded Trilogo: - He maby the least popular figure (aside from the Rancor Keeper) - but you've gotta love the green guy!

You could always save some time and just bid on these, if you have a spare 5 grand...... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STAR-WARS-VINTAGE-ROTJ-POTF-DROIDS-EWOKS-MOC-AFA-UP-LOT_W0QQitemZ280061059035QQihZ018QQcategoryZ50277QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem ....sort of takes the fun out of collecting though!

Thanks for the advice Dom, the hair dryer was going to be my next attempt - I don't think Vader is ready for vacum packing just yet!

Does anyone have any tips for repairing the dent in bubbles? I have a Trilogo Vader that is badly dented so after a few beers at the weekend I had a go with some double-sided sticky tabs. Before: - After: - As you can see from the before and after pictures I had some success and did not...

I was watching that auction and was amazed when the bidding went above £50 let alone £150! I guess for a mint figure £50 would have been justifiable - I had to buy two ‘three legged’ R2's to get one in good condition, (both of which were £20’ish), but even so...

I love the varients and the way you have displayed them, thanks for sharing. To a new collector like me it seems like a whole new world that somebody failed to mention.............my bank balance thinks thats a little worrying though!

I was thinking about adding to my Luke farmboy collection and was watching this, until it went to £40. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=004&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&viewitem=&item=140051234312&rd=1&rd=1 The figure looks in good condition, but is its really worth that...

Fantastic loose collection - I now have somthing to aim for! The Darth and Ben DT's must of cost - I have never even seen one up for sale, even Kellerman needed to borrow Tom Derby's figures for his book! Thanks for sharing the photo's.

Hi there Kris, Sounds like a nice collection you are building. I noticed you were unclear on some of the cardbacks for your collection - I have found this book to be invaluble (for American cardbacks anyway): - http://www.frontbackbooks.com/ Amazon in the UK sell it for £20 and its worth...

Thanks, the Tri-Boba is an 85 I have been trying to make sure all my figures would get an 85 if I sent them off, alot of the Empire and Jedi ones are from my original collection so I am replacing them slowly if they have some hand/face/boots paint wear. Now they are in a cabinet I am not so...

Well spotted the Leia's are a Hong Kong at the back and a Taiwan at the front, although I have had both for a while - the HK one is from my collection as a kid (obviously I wasn't a fan of the Leia's as my original Luke and Han's are bashed to bits!). As far as learning any songs anything that...

Thanks guys, I sent the VC Jawa away to be graded myself and was very relieved that he came back genuine, as well as an 85 - so I got him cheaper than some of the ones going on Ebay recently (although grading him wasn’t cheap!). As far as learning the guitar I have found it is like...

Inspired by several of the members of this forum I finally bought a cabinate from Ikea to display my loose vintage figure collection. I went for the case that Spoons has already shown, unfortunately it's already got quite full so I will be working on getting another soon...
