    Starting out as a collector

    Greetings! I agree with Sith-Smith although my rating on this site is low ( am a new member! ) I have been collecting now for at least 18 years so have learnt a few lessons on the way! I would suggest that firstly you do choose a focus for your collecting, i.e. Vintage or Modern, Loose or...

    Testing the water - Who Wants Wot???

    Greetings all! as you will see by my post history, I'm a rookie to the forum, however, I am certainly no rookie when it comes to vintage Star Wars with a collection amassed over a period of around 18 years! I've got everything from pencil tops to Topps trading cards, Read-a-long audio books to...

    Carded figures

    it is sometimes incredibly hard to tell an original carded to a repro/custom. a friend of mine started to do custom cards when he started selling some of his collection, at first they were easy to spot as repro/custom, but over the months he tweeked the process + by the end of it he damn near...

OMG suddenly I just kept finding different examples/moulds/colourings! + the collection just boomed! I am now at the point of trimming down the collection so I will have to compare...

    anyone watches pawn star ???

    I saw this episode! to be fair, the whole lot looked a bit 'TOO' fresh, + the way the guy started wanting $11,000 + then happily went down to $7,000 all seemed a bit weird, but hey, I guess these things are pretty much scripted! ( really not sure about the way the 'EXPERT' started sniffing the...

    Blue snaggle valuation

    e-bay is probably the way forward, a lot of the vintage range are selling well at the moment. in the picture it appears to be in a baggie, is that the figure inside in a baggie or the perspex case in a baggie? if it's the figure 'BIG' that up on the listing ( to be fair, if it is still in...

    Price on these? Last 17 etc....

    I've recently done a self re-value process via e-bay, all I do is find all the figures I want to check ( loose not MOC / AFA ) stick em' on my watch list + see what they're selling at. just in the last few weeks I've seen these figures at these end of auction prices :- Luke Poncho - £27.89 (...

    Blue snaggle valuation

    I've recently seen 1 go on E-bay, loose not AFA, + going by the pictures it was around the C8 mark + it went for £157, my guess that what you've got there has got to be easily £300 - £400, possibly more! Great Piece!!!
