Hi I'm sat in my hotel room in Barcelona at the moment, poor me(!), and it brought back memories of foreign holidays as a child. More specifically star wars toy purchases in another country back in the day. I can only remember one but it was a good one. Early to mid 90s I was on the Spanish...

Apologies if I am late to the party with this bombshell (probably!), but I'll share the link below anyway.... I don't fully buy into the authenticity of the backstory but I'm still pretty gobsmacked...

Hi Following on from my recent valuation thread (thanks @roundster for the help) I'm selling 8 original first run SW comics. Episodes 4, 5, 7, 9, 10, 14, 21, 31. All are in really nice condition (number 14 has a small tear on bottom of some pages but all the rest are 👌). From valuation thread...

Hi Routing through some bits and pieces - founds some comics I bought 20 odd years ago. Comics isn't really a focus of mine and I've got no idea whether they fetch much, but I suspect not! Anyone have any ideas? Thanks a lot for your help. Nick Ps I included a 1997 sealed chupa chup which...

So I found this last night. Apologies if it's already been shared before but I thought it was pretty damn funny! https://youtu.be/CBZgLM5HUzU ps there's a decent dubstep version of Yub Nub out there too if you are interested!!

I've just had the pleasure of sitting through ep 4, 5 and 6 with my daughter (in segments!). It is her first time watching SW and with only a basic idea of the films characters. They were the remastered versions. Highlights for me were: - Her prediction that Vader was Luke's father as soon as...

Hi. I took my daughter to 'Barcade' in Bristol, near Millenium Sq. It's a pop up vintage arcade open until Feb. £6 per hour or £5 for kids - all inclusive. The reason I'm posting this is because it has the original SW cockpit game, amongst others! Also has ROTJ, Turtles, Indiana Jones, SF2 and...

Been to a cool vintage shop in Amsterdam today. 'A space oddity' is run by a really friendly guy. We talked about vintage - he's been in the game since early 90s. Told me he bought up a toy stores stock room of mocs in the early 90s, with the help of his dad's money. Reckons he had over 2500...

Hi A lot of you have probably heard about this already - apologies in advance. This auction is happening next week and the owner is from Dubai! This link to the auction may illustrate how rare the red Bib is (ref. thread posted last week asking about it). It did make me think - is this one of...

Found a new collectors store in one of the Cardiff arcades today. Loads of he man, mask and some star wars (see pics). Definitely worth a look if you are in Cardiff. Opened 4 weeks ago - owner was really nice. No MOCS although he did say he had a small head han on minty star wars card at home he...

New beer from Bristol-based craft beer company coming soon. They've done SW cans before.

Just on the bus home after watching a Galactic Empire gig. Still got goosebumps. Go and see them if they a gigging near you (uk tour now on). PS - only 2 prequel songs thank ****!

Thank you Mr Trump for causing a slide in the $US - get ready chaps for a potential win on the exchange rate............

What a load of bullshit. Gaffer taped mailer with the seller handling it like he's handling the crown jewels! Maybe MJ lives after all?!! http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/Vintage-1978-Kenner-Star-Wars-Blue-Snaggletooth-Greedo-Mailer-Box-Only-READ-/381810195750?nav=SEARCH

Following on from the Woolworths post, anyone got experience of buying vintage in normal toy shops in the 90's, well past the end of normal toy shop SW sales? I don't have much experience in this country but when I was on holiday in Spain in 1993 I bought a MIB jabba and 3 MIB ewok handgliders...

I got this lovely MOC off Iain the other day and noticed the original price was quite steep at $3.97. I think this is the priciest price tag I have on a MOC (forgetting exchange rates in 1983!). Can anyone top it?

Hi guys Any advice on where to buy those monkey nut shaped foam protectors used to package up MOCS? Cheers for help Nick

Does anyone have any thoughts about the natural life expectancy of a MOC, in particular the bubble? I have my MOCS in star cases housed in a dark cupboard and I noticed a pretty nasty set of cracks on one of my bubbles which wasn't there last time I checked. I'm pretty sure the card hasn't been...

Hey I saw this today and thought is was quite interesting. Worth a watch if you get time. Those MOC deal seemed pretty damn cheap, unless they are fake / resealed? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HvCewrg4LkE Nick
