8. Barada with no coo 1984.

what condition and price range you looking at i think ive seen one.

It does not need to be mint, but also not a beater. It does also not need to have a weapon. Price I was thinking about normal price + a little extra.

 

[poncho]

i think ive seen one for £40!

Haven't collected much this year due to ridiculous prices and being busy with other things. Have lost the mojo a bit. Would like to try and pick up a few things this year:

Loose last 17 figures (not likely due to prices), trilogo Boba Fett and a metallic 2-1B for my loose set.
Max Rebo band.
ROTJ Mocs.
MIB mini-rigs.
Paperwork,catalogues, oddball.
Cardbacks.

Would also like to diversify a bit and continue to pick up some other vintage toys and maybe some Star Wars lego. Also want to finish my Gaffi sticks and make some other prop replicas.

I need ERG, Paploo and Imperial Gunner for my Trilogo run (also need Boba and Madine but they might be a long way away)

For my Tsukuda run I need Luke Jedi, Darth, Biker Scout and Lando Skiff

For my Clipper run I still need plenty of them - love that little black sticker

Apart from that there is nothing I 'need' so just look to pick up a few bits an pieces when I can

Pick up an unused Im Attack Base,
Get a couple more autographs on my vintage poster.

2017 will be a slow collecting year for me, loft conversion and a new baby middle of the year will drain me financially this year but I will start be buying just much slower and more carefully to things I want.

So my wants for the year.

1. To start and finish the 12" figure line loose, tough ask but going to have a real stab at it.
2. Start a loose Lili Ledy run, hope to have a handful by end of year.
3. Any Sigma I need, most importantly the Tape Dispenser. Have to be at the right price though.
4. Add a few MOCs for the collection, want to definitely add an ERG and Tusken Raider.
5. Boxed Cloud City Playset
6. Couple of display boxes
7. Couple of Greedo pieces for the focus
8. Continue picking up POTF2, nice cheap way to collect when things are tight. Be handy around July time.

Outside of physically collecting.

9. Post more on the forum, seem to just read these days rather than getting heavily involved.
10. Make sure we keep smashing out the podcasts with the lads. Look forward to having some of you forum gents on over the next twelve months.

 

[yoda]

My hopes and dreams regarding collecting, to find a sealed Falcon, complete my loose run and to find reasonable priced mocs to slowly build a collection.

 

[Mr-shifter]

After a great 2016 collecting my goals this year are:

One new foreign moc.
One new miscard.
One new speeder bike.

That's all. Prices are nuts at the moment so I would be happy with those three.

Can't wait for celebration. That's going to be great.

 

[lejackal]

2017 will be a slow collecting year for me, loft conversion and a new baby middle of the year

Congratulations mate

I have been taking a bit of a break over Christmas but hope to be picking up more Pailtoy goodness in 2017.

Happy New Year to all!

I don't currently own any vintage Star Wars but I do know who owns my childhood vintage collection and met up with him a few months ago. I talked about having the figures and vehicles back, he said I could. So, my number one collecting goal for this year is to arrange to get these, without coming across as needy or being pushy about it.

The second goal is to own an MOC of one of the vintage figures I bought and opened as a kid in the eighties. A Ree Yees or Klaatu would be fine.

Thirdly and I know it's not vintage, but want to finish the 3 3/4" Force Awakens figure set. Not too many to go, just need to find a Home Bargains.

Rob.

 

[Thomas/Sweden]

I am going to continue the Tri logo collecting and I have sold off some guitars I don't use that much. Hope I can find a Tri Stormtrooper in nice condition this year. Thanks for a great forum and best regards, Thomas.

 

[StarWarsFan]

1. Vinyl Cape Jawa.
2 More PBP figures
3. More troops to join my Imperial Army

 

[SOJ]

Had to adapt my collecting this year, 1. Because of getting divorced and paying for that and 2. Because of the crazy prices going round at the moment. Moving into my new house in the next couple of weeks so going to TRY and take easy again this year.....

I've got 7 Jedi MOC's I need to complete my run of Jedi characters on Jedi cards, none of them hard to get so will probably reserve getting those at Farthest Froms or if cheap ones pop us.

Chewie, Obi-Wan and Luke Farmboy MOC on Jedi cards with the alternative photo art.

I want to finish my FSK Empire sticker book.

I hope to track down some foreign card backs.

A meccano square card obi wan.

A miscard and a twin pack.

Make inroads into getting a full run of bantha tracks and reseaching more about the UK fan club and nailing down what was available her opposed to the states.

Some more micro collection sets.

Haven't decided whether to go after the 14 of the last 15 I need MOC. I've got them loose and have no real drive to pick them. Wondering I the OCD will kick in though once I have all the Jedi card I'm after :?

Most importantly though I want to get my collection room set up. I can't wait to get to grips with this. Just thinking about it gives me a happy feeling inside.
