Hi everyone

[Wookie73]

Hi folks, just discovered this excellent forum.
I'm currently collecting mint or near mint vintage loose figures with my 9 year old son, we have now got around 55 which we are storing in 3 mint colletors cases. I've been into starwars for as long as I can remember probably since about christmas 1979.

I've got a couple of AFA carded items to trade/swap for mint/nearmint loose figures , namely a 2003 silver boba fett convention afa graded 85nm+ 90,85,95 and a 2004 silver saga sandtrooper 90nm+/mt 90,90,95 uncirculated.

I'll try and get some pics up once i suss it out.

[Bollux]

Welcome aboard mate, dont listen to a word that Weasel says, just be thankful that you have a son and not a daughter while he's around!

We are a good bunch of chaps and chappess as long as you dont mind the odd bit of cursing from time to time. :lol:

Where abouts you from?

 

[Wookie73]

Thanks for the kind words folks, such a nice bunch :lol:

Right i'm going to attempt load up some pics. Only took me an hour to figure it out.

As you can see my/our collection is in the early stages, plenty of figures to find, I did have plenty a few years back but they weren't what you would call the best and ended up just being played with by my son along with a load of ships i had in the loft not really collectors pieces just got used for what they were made for. :lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[Bollux]

you got some nice things there mate, though I think your ewoks may have their outfits confused a little!

 

[weasel]

That's not a bad effort at all, you got a good few figures there! 8)
What's on the "to buy" list then?

Can Ewoks not share wardrobes like I borrow my husbands shirts???

 

[Wookie73]

I'm waiting on a Luke Skywalker (Bespin Fatigues) arriving in sealed baggie.

Next on the figure 'hitlist' is

Luke Skywalker (Farmboy) 8)
Leia Organa (Bespin Gown)
Han Solo (Bespin)
Han Solo (Hoth Battle Gear)
Han Solo
Death Star Droid - finding it a struggle to even find a good one, never mind at a decent price.

Other thing i'd really like is a Return of the Jedi collectors case to give me the set, they seem to be rather thin on the ground.

 

[Darth Wensleydale]

Yep, quite rare those Jedi cases and they tend to be quite pricey because of it :roll:

Welcome to the forum by the way

another thing with these is you can get a decent paintjob and then find the limbs are so loose the figure cant even sit up never mind stand up!

Welcome Wookie!! You have just joined the nicest forum around.
I have had 1000s of figures and there are still some I can't find mint. It is a great accomplishment to get them all perfect. Good luck!
