[QUOTE="colin310, post: 548507, member: 13240"] Good read, & as a new member on here & digging out my vintage figures recently I’m stating to just get the bug for collecting. For what I’ve got & seeing others collections on here, I’d love to start collecting card backs & I’d probably only go for my dozen or so favourite/iconic characters, I think with the prices/values just now, I’d have to sell what I’ve got to try & fund this & this is what kinda puts me off. Wife asked me if I had an “emotional” attachment to them & I really didn’t when they were boxed away. Now they are out, all I want to do is look at them & I’d feel that detachment if I let them go. The original trilogy still holds a special place & I think there is just that saturation now with the newer/retro collections. Just too many for my liking & I guess it’s the fact that anyone/everyone is buying them & it takes away that limited/uniqueness. Although I do love the coloured prototype Fett’s & Stormy’s. Does this answer the Q’s, probably not, but discovering this forum has certainly given me the bug & I’d be more than happy to go hunting at a boot sale this weekend! 👍🏻😀 [/QUOTE]
