[QUOTE="colin310, post: 549624, member: 13240"] Hi all, Only really made the decision to start collecting in the latter part of this year after looking out my loose vintage collection from the parents loft. Seeing them again, actually realising what I had & regaining that appreciation for them has given me the bug to build on it. Really, my 2021 goal/aim after looking out the figures was to at least start collecting cardbacks. This was to allow me to display the loose figure with a cardback, with the goal to have them all in GW acrylic cases. I’ve managed to pick up 8 so far, all in good display condition so happy days & the journey begins. For 2022, keeping it quite general as I have so much I want to achieve; [LIST=1] [*]Cardbacks for current loose figures [*]Missing weapons for current loose figures [*]Loose Stormtrooper – no idea why I don’t have one! [*]Loose Nien Numb [*]Loose Squid Head [*]Loose Rancor Keeper [*]Loose Admiral Ackbar [*]Loose Lumat [/LIST] 4-8 to complete my loose ROTJ figures [LIST=1] [*]1 MOC – I want to add at least 1 MOC to my collection. Doesn’t matter who it is, what cardback it is, unpunched etc. Just want to have 1. [/LIST] Problems will be funding it. I’m sure you’ll all agree & vouch that this is a long process/journey & I’m literally at the start. Justification for funding it aswell, when trying to tell the wife that I’m wanting to spend 3 figure sums on 40 year old toys or cardboard 😱 Glad I found this forum to give me that bug & plenty of helpful insight/knowledge. More glad I found it before cashing in on these when I had an offer from a toy trader that I now think/know was low balling me. They are all worth a lot more than just a cash figure to me now! Happy hunting in 2022 folks 😃👍🏻 [/QUOTE]
