Slowed a bit, funds lacking, and throwing funds to the lad with his collecting

( he just snagged a MOC Original Ray GBusters for £30, thought that was a good price?)

Need to start looking at first 12 shortly...loosies of course

I have
Sweet yoda complete, fett, snag, Han hoth loosies on their way though :wink:
Thanks to Chaz B once again

You can't beat the lookin, the choosing, the waiting then the buzz when they arrive...never tire of that 8)

I've only just seen your topic, Mike- still wading through the wealth of stuff on here, mind boggling :shock: but loads of fun.

Great collection mate, and I have to agree with the others: love that Falcon looking forward to your updates as and when...

 

[Michael Sith]

Big thanks...
free bump to Darth Stanley for the Falcon....awesome thanks again sir

Falcon is the one for me the coolest 8)

Sweet collection. So wish i hadn't sold my Jabba

 

[Michael Sith]

Don't look back...too depressing, there's a jabba out there with your name on it

Been a member since March this year and thought I'd update this thread to show the small progression made :?

I have recently been thrown off track and been buying some other collection gear MOTU etc as my son has veered me off trac, but coming back to vintage now, and carry on

So in march had a few loosies and began to listen look and learn on the forum
Have come into contact and made friends with some really solid guys, every last one really happy to help, advise and support on the journey

Fantastic guys on here and I'd like to thank you all again

So where I am now still a very long way to go but happy with where I am
Can't compete with the collections on here, but for me it's about getting those little pieces of history, holding on to them, cleaning squaring and buffing up to try and get them to their best for display

More loosies, weapons and MoCS are the way forward now, then hopefully start to display what I have properly in the next couple of months

The journey to date has been fantastic, and as I said you guys on here are awesome
Special mention to Chaz B, Jedi June,Jackabina, Mark Darth Stanley benny 100 Mumbo, Todd TFB the legend, Dublin Jeff ,Chiffy, jr Chubb, Lars ,Plaintman, tc14, Iain ...the list goes on Edd of course :wink:

Great guys , top advice, good fun great forum


Loosies need to carry on this long road and need to buy complete with future purchases as now have loads of weapons needs, some of my loosies have been "borrowed" by my son, and need to return for display :roll:
One thing I have learned, is buy complete loosies with original weapons.
Long way to go ..hey but that's half the fun :wink:

Great update, Mike- that's an awesome collection curated in such a short space of time... and looks like you've got more vintage goodness on the way (some choice items you're shipping across the Atlantic, Todd ).

I have to agree with you, pal... great forum, great guys- I've learnt so much about vintage Star Wars in the two months since I joined up. It's a great place to be 8)

Nice update of pictures from your collection michael, wow looking great.

Love that B-Wing POTF moc very much 8)

 

[mumbo]

It's a great collection Mike 8) you've come a long way in such a short space of time plenty of items I'd like in my own collection

And there is nowhere better than swfuk

 

[Jedi_june]

Wow mike that's a great collection you have so far bro. I still have yet to get Jabba & any vehicles lol. I love the madine & squid Moc The millennium Falcon box is ace man.

I always try and buy figs complete with Accessories because I think you land up spending more money if you don't. I guess it depends on the figure if its a Ledy or glasslite it's really hard to find complete sometimes.

Anyways I can't wait to see you collection get bigger

Thanks for the Shoutout bro 8)

Peace,
June

 

[Michael Sith]

Martin...cheers, I agree, you learn so much and all the guys are great with us noobs.

Lars....thankyou for the kind comments, always a pleasure to deal with a gentleman

Mumbo..cheers dude your a top man, lad loves the proto fett, keeping misb :wink:

June...cheers bud, I love the falcon as well, got from mark on here my earliest forum deal, and he threw this in :shock: , top man darth stanley

Have to find some parts yet though :roll:

Cheers guys

 

[benny100]

Collection is coming along nicely Michael, I'd definitely agree its worth picking up loosies with their weapons, hard work sometimes finding genuine accessories
