[QUOTE="edd_jedi, post: 368960, member: 2"] As you may remember, a couple of months ago I found a few of my childhood figures at my parents house. This great discovery rekindled my interest in loose figures, and I've since been trying to put together a loose set. I haven't had a loose set for years as I've focused on MOCs, but I've really enjoyed putting this set together. My approach has been different from most - rather than buying complete figures, the first thing I did was check my box of beaters, as I have hundreds. To my surprise a good 50 or so of them were perfectly nice enough to be worth having in a loose collection, having had hundreds of MOCs over the years I know there's no such thing as C10 figures anyway. So I set out on the daunting task of sourcing weapons for them all, and although it hasn't been easy or cheap, it has cost a fraction of buying complete figures, and has been really satisfying to complete these figures that have been sitting unloved in a box for years! I wanted to disprove the myth that collecting is now too expensive. So nearly all of what you see below are "beaters", I have only bought about 10 complete figures and a couple of upgrades. Almost all of it has come from here and Facebook, I have only bought a couple of things from eBay. And needless to say, no repros :) I'd like to thank a few people from here who have helped me with weapons, accessories, and figures - itfciain, DarthStanley, Mr-shifter, and starshipriot. I've also had some help from a few Facebook people too who aren't members here. Thanks for your help guys, it's much appreciated! So here's where I am so far, from Star Wars to Jedi. I have a couple of POTF figures but will wait til I have a few more before doing a photo. As you can see there are still some I'm missing and I'd like to upgrade a few, but I'll add more photos as and when I fill in the gaps.
