[QUOTE="Palifan, post: 548386, member: 4095"] I moved on from vintage Star Wars years ago, partly to do with being happy with what I've managed to pick up over the years and partly down to the cost. I've focused mainly on vintage and modern Horror items but even that feels like it's near the end for me (with vintage at least). Again, the prices have risen over the past few years but I do still get the odd bargain every now and then which is good. I also pick up custom figures that I've really gotten into over the years but there's also a space issue now so again I'm really trying to restrict myself. It's been a fun ride over the past 15 years or so but I'm starting to look to thinning down in some areas and you have got to ask yourself if it's really worth keeping a large SW vehicle when you've never had it on display and it's kept tucked away in a box? In some ways I'd rather someone actually got some enjoyment out of it but I know I will need to be mentally ready to let it go I know that I don't own it any more (I'm sure I'll see the logical side of that argument soon enough!). I still have a hunger for general vintage knowledge and really enjoy researching about vintage toys so I think that will never go away. The same with collecting books on the subject although I've found the print quality of recent books disappointing. I also still check eBay every day to see what's out there and as long as I'm learning something new each month I know I'll keep up the enthusiasm for the hobby :) Ian [/QUOTE]
