Biggest Regrets - Star Wars Items You've Had and Sold !!!

[kieatky]

Hi, just had a few thoughts about items I've had in the past and sold on (and have regretted ever since, especially now I'm collecting again )

So, as the title of the thread suggests here are a few of mine :-

Tri Logo Carded Yak Face (see my previous posts for pics) - another one on the way to replace this one though
Tri logo Carded Han Carbonite
ROTJ Carded Boba Fett

Boxed POTF Endor Chase

Diecast Tie Bomber

I'm sure there are loads more so will add items as I remember them.

A-wing MIB.

Why?

Cos brain is stupid.

 

[itfciain]

I sold my Droids Boba Fett a few months ago - it is the first time I have let a MOC go that I don't have. Pretty gutted about it but I got a good offer and it was at a time when I needed the cash

 

[walkie]

Not star wars, but my childhood collection of dungeons and dragons figures.

 

[poncho]

A-wing MIB.

Why?

Cos brain is stupid.

ha ha comedy gold

my regret....my child hood falcon! i only had the shell, electrics rotten all pieces missing, threw it in the bin! as i upgraded to a rotj boxed falcon. wish i kept my childhood one now and done it up maybe

Sold my MIB endor chase and hoth rescue with the rest of my childhood collection in 2004 - really pissed now cos these are 2 of the last 4 MIBs I need to complete 1 of each playset/creature/vehicle.

Whoops.

I sold my childhood ticket and programme for The Empire Strikes Back premiere at the Odeon, Leicester Square, London on ebay just a couple of months ago.

In fact, the reason I found this forum was to initially make people aware of my sale... but the warm welcome I received drew me back in to Star Wars collecting, some thirty-odd years after I had made my last purchase...

...and here I am, three months later, with few regrets and a much reduced bank balance. Hey-ho :lol:

Still, the chap who bought the programme is an animator for DreamWorks over in California, and the successful bidder on the ticket was a fellow in London who already owned an invite for the very same showing but was there because of his employment with Lucasfilm... so I have no qualms about both those items going to good homes.

I just wish I'd not got back into Star Wars again after I'd sold them... :? Sort of...

This doesnt come into the sold category, i gave it away! After a long hunt i finally picked up a loose Sise Fromm, my sister saw this recently and reminded me that i'd given her 2 of those as his purple robe was not befitting a star wars figure and he was more suuitably attired to her dolls house!

 

[rob71]

Mine would be my childhood boxed Palitoy Death Star. Bloody lovely it was as well. Bought another one 3 months ago but it'll never be the same

 

[palitoyjunky]

Had a Palitoy case fresh factory sealed 12inch Leia Doll that was found in Oxfam(not by me) as part of a factory case of 6 I believe 8)
Sold it at my local toy fair, a dealer/collector followed me round the fair for it.

Also had a mint Palitoy 30 back A Luke Bespin that I picked up from Modellers Loft back in 97 for £80. Ended up trading that and a load of other stuff for an Empire Kenner MOC 41 back Fett that had a slight bubble lift

 

[Stargeezer]

I wish i had not sold these 3 guys... Even though its not been that long ago when i sold them, its just On top off my regret list.

 

[slim]

all my mail away multipacks , starting to work my way through them again :mrgreen:

 

[Stormtrooper37]

Not star wars, but my childhood collection of dungeons and dragons figures.

Same here - wish I kept my Dungeon and Dragons figures.

Also my Vintage MOTU. I had an 8 back He-Man when I was a kid - these sells for thousands today :shock:

 

[TheGent]

Yes, I had the german motu 2-Pack with audio cassette, these also go liked nuts on ebay these days. Got it on a rainy holiday trip to the seaside.

Plus I had a loose limbs c-3po and a yoda I played with while my mum made warm white bread on rainy autumn Saturday afternoons. Have them to a poor neighbor kid when I assumed I was to old for playing with figures.

Miss those like hell. STUPID THREAD. BLOODY STUPID THREAD HATE THIS.

 

[Christian]

Had a few pieces that I would still like to have in my collection including:

AFA 80 Tri-logo Jawa
First Shot (Hand Painted/Non-Sonic Welded) Death Squad Commander
AFA 80 Tri-logo Orange Snake Yoda
MOC Retorno Original R2
MOC Retorno Original C-3PO
POTF MOC Yak Face

However, no real regrets as such as these were either sold or traded in order to acquire other pieces or when I was skint a few years back.

I do have one major 'buying' regret - in approx 2004-2005 I was offered a 12 Back Luke Proof for $540 and passed on it. Not so much from a financial POV but I would dearly love to have that proof in hand nowadays and forever more!

Cheers,
Christian

I remember that Martin. Thought you might regret it. It's ok though we've all sold or lost stuff. Hate thinking how much stuff I lost as a kid. Where did it all go?

Sold a mint boxed ESB X-wing a few years ago when I scaled down. Completely regret it now. Had inserts, decals, the lot. Gutted.

 

[TC-14]

You're right Barry, it's best to move on than dwell on any regrets :?

 

[lee gray]

its a close call between my kenner prototype vlix i had about 5 years ago and my life size Anakin from jc penney pod racing gear.

 

[pizzathehutt]

ive collected and then sold the full set of loose figures about 5 times now (including my childhood figures )

about 3 years ago i found the cure album boys dont cry in a charity shop for £1 which had been signed by the whole band and last year i sold it for £50 im now regretting that a bit.

 

[Richard_H]

Wow - what's more rare a Vlix or Lee Gray with hair?


I have no regrets regarding SW. My old stuff was given away but tbh it was probably played with to death. I have far more stuff now than I ever had. And it's all staying with me.
