    Wanted M.A.S.K Toys

    So before I start trawling the net and hunting in dealer shops etc. Figured I would ask as I know there are a few M.A.S.K. collectors here. I want to get a Series 1 collection going, likely Series 2 as well - starting from scratch (again for the third time with this one :) ). So if anyone has...

    PDT-8 Price?

    PDT-8 is the last of the mini-rigs I need to have a full set. But what gives - why is it so hard to find (boxed) and why so much - or is the old interweb massively overpriced? In which case - what sort of price should I be looking at here?

    The pain of collecting

    This is a interesting watch - although from a transformers forum, I think almost all the 'issues' discussed about being a collector ring true for anything - and I certainly relate to pretty much every one of the top ten listed here - anyway, made me smile so I figured I'd share...

    2023 Collecting round up & 2024 Plans

    So I figured we were close enough to the end of the year to think about this one. (although maybe Dec will see a last splurge of purchases and gifts... Farthest From on the 10th maybe...) Last year I said I wanted to round of my POTF2 Collection and focus on 40th Anniversary stuff and...

    My first Graphic Novel - ANGEL EYES

    So last year I posted about the first animated short film I wrote and produced - this year I have written and produced my first graphic novel ANGEL EYES - with a twist.... It was created, to create a cinematic experience using 2D art and Game Engine technology and as such (so far) I have been...

    Shift in Modern Prices

    There are a few threads knowing about chatting about the shift in collectors and how Hasbro are performing and the quality of their stuff etc. but overall I think we are now at a point where simply dismissing certain early Modern lines as valueless is a bit out of step with the reality in the...

    It's official - who likes or dislikes Star Wars.... Interesting read

    Just finished reading this article: https://www.jeditemplearchives.com/2023-03-30-how-much-do-people-actually-like-disney-star-wars/ Well worth a few mins - I am not sure there is anything too surprising - except maybe the stat that indicates the biggest Fan segment is now those that grew up on...

    The end of Modern Collecting?

    OK - maybe a headline better suited to the tabloids - or to a younger viewers a bit of clickbate - but I think it is fair question. I am sure most of us pop over to JediTempleArchives now and again, and there are always some interesting articles there, often moaning about Hasbro and the quality...

    thoughts on Jawa claiming Toltoys cape

    Hey folks Quick question - what to do folks think - fake or real - For information it is an eBay listing and the offer the seller has passed me is very tempting - I don't care for variations and what not - just that the bits are all original? The only reference site I have found on Toltoys is...

This has resulted in getting the opportunity to start making original content using XR/Game Engine tech in the...

    Growing vintage sets & figs

    So, back in the vintage collecting thang. Starting with Hoth and focusing on complete vehicles with boxes - but not fussed on box condition. I’ll also look for better lose versions and mix and match/upgrade if and when - the Tauntaun here needs a bridle and the Wampa arm doesn’t spring any more...

    Price Query & wanted Vehicles/Creatures Boxed

    So after almost 15 years of not buying vintage SW toys i am sniffing around a few things. But after so long i am a bit out of step on what a good price is or isn't. I am not fussed on box condition (as long as there is a box) - or Kenner v Palitoy etc. But i am looking at a few things and...

    WTD: Boxed Milennium Falcon

    Hey guys Before i start bitting or buying on evilbay i wanted to see if anyone had a boxed Falcon they would part with. Not too fussed on the version (ESB, Jedi, SW etc) just needs to be a decent box (Aging ware is fine) but the Falcon inside needs to be complete and working and in decent nick...
