Hi! I´m new to this forum

Hi! IÃ'´m new to this Forum. Actually this is not my first post.
My nameÃ'´s Mirco...IÃ'´m a 32 year old SW collector from Germany. IÃ'´m collecting SW toys since my childhood, but had a big break in collecting from 1988-1995. With releasing of the new SW toys my collecting fever came back. Nowadays IÃ'´ve frozen collecting neo SW toys, because I focussed on the vintage line...still have lots of neo MOCs and MIBs.
IÃ'´m collecting vintage loose variants, MOCs and MIBs.
Sorry, if IÃ'´m making any grammar or spelling mistakes. My last English lesson in school is about 15 years ago.
Here is a picture of my SW room. ItÃ'´s an older picture...IÃ'´ll take a new one asap.

Hi Mirco, it's good to have another variant collector on the forum so I'll let you answer all of Gusties questions !!! :lol: :wink:

I haven't collected variants for while and I think I sold you my Macau Biker Scout a few months ago when I trimmed down my collection. 8)

Hi Mirco, it's good to have another variant collector on the forum so I'll let you answer all of Gusties questions !!!

Of which there are many! :lol:

 

[Rudyard]

A very impressive looking collection mate. I like the way you've displayed all your figures.

 

[gustie]

i can always stop asking...

 

[weasel]

:lol: No, ask away (I was only joking!). That's why people are here. Although as I know nothing about variants I will be, **** all use to you!

 

[gustie]

lol ok

i can ask you about winning lottery numbers and non variants

what is your main focus then mr weasel?

 

[weasel]

I'm a MOC collector, currently trying (and failing miserably, due to severe lack of funds) to complete a first 12/21 run and the potf run.

I have picked up a few loose figures and the odd boxed vehicle etc as well. Gotta admit variants are something that don't appeal to me, but each to their own! (means less people chasing the items i'm after )

 

[gustie]

yeah true
im not partial to spending Ã'£1000's on cardboard and packets/cards
especially seeing how many recards mock up there is out there

looks like a bigger minefield than loose!

 

[weasel]

Like most of this hobby you learn to spot the fakes and who to avoid etc.
Most of the time it's obvious as soon as you get the item in your hand.

Thanks for the warm welcome.

@craignwo4life: Your Macao Biker Scout has a place of honor in my glass cupboard. :wink:

@jabbawokkie: IÃ'´m from Lower Saxony about 60 kilometer away from Hamburg.

Someone asked me in another thread if I have my own website.
Well, I donÃ'´t have my own homepage, but I have photoalbums at arcor.
HereÃ'´s the vintage SW stuff album. IÃ'´m still working on it, especially taking photos of my variants, editing them together...unfortunately it is a lot of work and long time taking job.
