Well I m not aiming for the "stars" since I had them all and sold them on (different carded figures runs).
In our days I m much more humble and just collect ukg or afa 85/90 non "u" loose armies.
So looking for more recruits in particular order
1) mint loose death squad commanders
2)mint loose biker scouts
3)mint loose at at drivers
4)mint loose at st drivers
Lastly a few more stragglers in the form of stormtroopers,hoth troopers,royal guards and tie pilots.
One day soon I ll post a few pictures.....
Oh and more star wars tattoo

To get more and more cardbacks for the ever expanding collection.
Hopefully some of the elusive Luke FB and R2 one's will turn up.

Finish my 20 back Kenner debut run run, which is Power Droid and Walrusman.
Also just try and finish the Jedi Kenner run, but not likely.

As you've probably seen (and heard on the podcast) I have been collecting trilogos for a year or so now. I bought far more than I intended to in 2015 so I'm getting fairly close to completing the set, but I know I am going to stall at exactly the same point as I did back in 2007 - Jawa, Fett and of course Madine. It also seems unlikely I'll pick up a CCP or Hammerhead any time soon, as both have shot up in value recently (and compared to other things rightly so, they really don't show up often.)
Having done the hybrid run before I'm not so bothered about doing that again, so I would really like to add one of Jawa, Fett or Madine to my trilogo run next year, that would be a real dream and is hopefully achievable as they do come up for sale now and again. I would also like to complete my 'basic' trilogo run, which shouldn't be too difficult. Although I'm really reluctant to pay £900+ for a Yak Face considering how many dozens I've seen sell for £2-300 over the last decade.

I'm at a bit of a crossroads. I think I've been dabbling in too many different things, would like to concentrate on just a couple.
Goals for the next year would be to complete my loose set, about 13 away, all last 17.
Keep buying ROTJ MOC's and work towards having all the ROTJ characters.
Get a few boxed minirigs and get the buzz back for buying loose vehicles and pick up a couple.
When I eventually move get a new display room/area set up and get some of the artwork and paper stuff I've picked up framed and on the wall.
Sell some of the random vintage bits and modern to clear space and pay towards some of the above.
Hopes and dreams would be to score a VCJ and a Blue Snag.
Score a Fett MOC.
Buy some ESB and SW cards.
Get my Gaffi sticks finished!
Buy or make some props and costumes.
Whatever happens I'm sure it will be fun! I hope you all find what you're looking for 8)

Have narrowed my list right down to give me more chance of getting the MOCs I really want and have been looking for for years:
SW Death Star Droid
SW R5D4
ESB Boba Fett (pipe dream!)

Mine is quite straightforward i think or hope?
As my focus is ROTJ carded figures my first priority is to complete the ROTJ specific figures.
For this is i only need three but they are proving difficult to track down at the right condition and price;
Weequay on a 65 back
Luke Jedi on a 65 back, although would go for a 77 back if the price and condition are right
The Emperor 77 back
I am then after the main protagonists so Han, Leia, and Luke on ROTJ cards, the first twelve on ROTJ cards, and finally Lando Bespin, and a Yoda and that's it for me. These last few though will probably run into 2017 as opposed all in 2016 but we will see.
So really not loads of cards but difficult to find at the right price and right condition, which is true of most cards no doubt. In some instances i have seen ESB cards cheaper than ROTJ cards for the same character?

We are most definitely on a similar quest Inza. I'm after Luke and The Emperor too. Annoyingly I could have bought the Emperor on Sat but ummed n arred for a minute and Dan grabbed it! :evil: Never mind, there'll be another.

Sign of the times, you would have been looking at £20-30 for Weequay and The Emperor, and maximum £50 for Luke a few years ago in dead mint condition. People just seem to be hoarding things at the moment as so many common things are proving hard to find.

Well seeing as though I have only just started I guess my only real goal is to carry on getting as many ROTJ mocs as I can, main want is Luke in Jedi outfit though and if the chance came about maybe a boxed Tie Fighter

Some simple goals:
1) Complete loose run - about 5 to go
2) Continue Tri-logo MOC run. Only about halfway through so no rush.
3) Upgrade Palitoy Death Star
4) VCJ and Blue Snag for the extended loose run
5) Minty Mailaway display stand and an acrylic case to display it with figures
Aspirational:
1) Boba Fett or a Jawa Trilogo MOC
2) EB Cert pack and set
