This is an excellent topic, thank you for posting. And thank you for the comments posted so far. As we collectors mature (age), so do our tastes and priorities. Here's my take: I've been at this as an adult collector "on and off" since 1988. Several of the "off" periods have been and are...

Unfortunately, I have been priced out of collecting any of the remaining items that I was interested in. I still like MOC figures and variations of them, but can't justify the cost. And recently I have had some interest in Kenner Baggie figures, but again, these have gotten expensive. Have...

If include the "old days" of the late 80's/Early 90's when I started collecting, the bargains were many, here are some examples. My Blue Snaggletooth came from a collection that I got from a guy that was working at the same comic book store I was. He sold me all of his figures for 50 cents...

Great topic. From what I have heard and read, it seems that there are two very different schools of thought as to where Star Wars collecting will go in the future. Some seem to think vintage will die off as collectors move on, pass on, or otherwise leave the hobby, while others think that the...

Thanks Frunkstar. The Irish 3 Packs came from a guy in the UK that I was trading with in the early 1990's.; I met him through an ad in Toy Shop Magazine. At one time, I had seven different ones in my collection. The 3 Packs were considered pretty obscure back then. When I took a look at them...

Thanks again for the compliments. Here is one more photo, of most of my Kenner shipping cases/shippers. Have a few more big ones that don't fit in the space. These were saved back in the early 1990's when overstock and case lots of figures were still around in abundance. I had most of these full...

Thanks again to those that have commented. This collection (and myself) have been very private over the years, so it is nice to finally be able to share it. I've had to sell some significant portions of the collection over the years (vehicles/playsets especially) due to financial needs, but have...

Being new here, I guess I'll just roll with it lol

Thanks for the compliments. Here are a few more:

Thanks again, everyone. I have started a gallery: https://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/threads/toyboy73-collecting-room.44069/

Here is an overview of a large part of my collection as it sits currently. Not everything is displayed or shown, and more photos hopefully to follow. The collection has grown and shrunk several times over the many years I have been doing this. Forgive me for being a little paranoid and...

Thanks to everyone who has replied. I hope to share some childhood memories, as well as some experiences, knowledge, and memories as an adult collector and reseller, going back to the "early days" of collecting. Also do hope to put up a gallery soon.

One of the reasons I've recently joined this forum is to share and read about memories, and I thought I would start by adding to this thread about first figures memories. My first introduction to a Star Wars figure was in around 1980, when I was seven years old. A kid down the street showed me...

Hello all. I have been collecting "on and off" since 1988, and have been a forum lurker for many years, both here and other places. Posting on here is a bit of a leap of faith for me…I don't typically use social media due to privacy concerns as well as some bad experiences I had in the early...
