It’s been a good year for me - the main highlight being Celebration Europe. As well as being fully immersed in SW for a whole 4 days, it was a real privilege to present on the Collecting Track and Podcast stages with my Vintage Rebellion co-hosts. It's also been great to meet up with so many...

Hi, sorry, missed this post! Yes this was a great little shop, the owner John (can’t remember surname?) was a lovely chap, very friendly. Bought quite a lot of vintage off him both at the shop and at toy fairs. I don’t think he was making enough to cover the rent and sadly it only lasted a few...

Thanks @Mini99, I look forward to this post each year. My goals for 2022 were as follows: 1. Getting to more events and being an active part of this wonderful community we have. Yes - attended Echo Live, Farthest From, and a few local toy fairs and comic cons. 2. A vintage British store...

These type of stands are widely available on eBay, Amazon or Etsy, and work well.

The Vintage Guides on Echo Base Vintage Facebook group are excellent, and cheap. There are 3 - a figures one, a vehicles one, and a Palitoy cardbacks one.

Looking forward to it! Year of the Shuttle??

I really like them, but I refuse to put money into the hands of sellers who also produce reproductions of the original Kenner figures and accessories, Stan Solo being one. Reproductions are one of the biggest problems in our hobby as they can easily be passed off fraudulently as the real thing...

Try GW Acrylic . Or for a cheaper alternative, Deflector DC Cases . Hope that helps!

Dont burn them! An unused set fetched £180 on eBay recently - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/STAR-WARS-12-COLOURED-PENCILS-HELIX-INTERNATIONAL-1977-UNUSED-IN-ORIGINAL-BOX-/374001021696 Even if the pencils are used, if the box is in reasonable order they could still sell well. I hope that helps!

Thanks for the great feedback Jon. And thanks for the info, of course you’re quite right. I’m always happy to be corrected - just surprised it doesn’t happen more often! 😂

I’d suggest an auction to find the best price. EBay can be a good bet, but you’ll pay a fee. The other options would be some of the Facebook groups - perhaps Echo Base Auctions or Star Wars Palitoy Collectors, where you’ll find most of the potential buyers and have no fee to pay. The other...

Great find! I can’t add any more to what’s already been said, except that you’ll get plenty of interest and a good price for it.

That’s awesome - congrats Grant 👏

MT Games in the Old Market Centre in Taunton have a small amount of vintage - watch out for repro weapons though.

Some great items there, congratulations! If the Topps box was the one on eBay just before Christmas, you had a good bargain there - a fantastic rare piece. I also love the Burtons biscuits wrapper!

I didn’t freeze poor Han myself, but I’ve definitely heard from several others who did. Great memories, thanks for sharing!

As far as I know, the Vader case was fairly widely available in Britain, but through mailaway offers such as the Bounty Hunter Capture Log, not in the shops. The C-3PO case was only offered as a prize in a competition run in John Menzies stores. The rectangular cases weren’t generally available...

Merry Christmas, one and all, and a Happy Collecting New Year!

My 2021 goals were as follows - 1. Agree with Lom, let’s all get vaccinated so that we can meet in person again at Farthest From, Echo Live and other great events. Yes in part - had a great day at Echo Live but unfortunately didn’t make it to FF due to illness. 2. At least one significant U.K...
