I wasn't a long time collector , I only got back into vintage SW around 2015 ish and it was brilliant to reconnect with my childhood and pick up the figures I had (and never had!) the first time around for modest sums. Felt like a not very serious hobby. Happy memories !

Priced out of vintage Star Wars. I love them but don't feel the need to own them anymore - can't justify the costs, so time to move on. Picked up the retro collection figures from the OT as they're relatively cheap and cheerful .

Stand corrected. I thought the bubble stem on a VCJ was much flatter ! Glad the answer still the same 🤪 every day a school day

No worries. The figure on its own is probably worth 10-15 quid these days I should think. I'd imagine his blaster is a repro too but can't see that well on my phone.

Counterfeit. The most immediate tell imo is the bubble stem, which should be flat. Well that , and the overly shiny cape and played with figure (see play wear to his hands). I'm sure experts on here will point out a million other things!

Thanks for the tip - I can imagine how that might work and avoid scratches when putting cards in. In my experience the cards still moved around a bit once inside the cases which scuffed them a little . BUT I moved mine around a lot in storage boxes, which was unwise. I also stacked them up and...

Totally agree with Ed. Acrylic cases look awesome for display but I have inadvertently damaged cards with them through rubbing and scratching on the side rails.

I know minty vintage R2s aren't cheap anymore. I know R2 is being released as part of the retro line in the near future, so if you want a shiny new and virtually identical one at an affordable price, then that's not a bad shout. Personally I'd keep your one as it is because it's vintage - it is...

That game needs a premium rerelease ! I've never really played any vintage Star Wars games as they look pants , although I've heard the ROTJ one isn't too bad. The modern games look brilliant (like rebellion) but just take a bit too much time for me , as do the miniature games. I quite...

Fools and their money ...

:?: Should it be priced at anywhere close to a grand? Obviously the seller can ask whatever they like for their stuff, and the buyer can choose to pay it or not ... bbbbbut the short answer is no, that's insane :lol:

You should definitely get a refund. Surely that's the kind of thing that should be mentioned when selling. If I picked it up at a bargain beater price and it was listed 'sold as seen' etc then I'd think it fair enough, but if I had comms with the seller I would be pretty aggrieved if an issue...

Maybe a suction pen / ear wax remover if there is a crack in the bubble ... Or you could try a covid nasal swab stick :lol:

I reckon there will always be demand for minty Mocs and MISBs, and other harder to find stuff. They are pop culture history and there will always be enough collectors for genuine rarities and the cream of the crop. Another question is how long will the things survive. The idea that they've...

I missed the final somehow , but no matter, it wasn't even close (I think I would have gone with Yoda too!). There were some closely fought contests in earlier rounds -I'm really liking my ROTJ figures at the moment... Lando disguise and gammy guard , even jabba's goon squad .... so maybe next...

Indeed! Although with the competition maybe PayPal might lower their fees . Fingers crossed!

That's very sad news. I didn't know Declan but I have certainly read many of his thoughtful and knowledgeable comments on the forum. Rest in peace and MTFBWY always

Great knowledge. Every day a school day !

Could anyone explain this one to me - looks like a bespin blaster ?

Same over this weekend.
