Iain's Collection

[itfciain]

Hi all

Thought Id finally get some photo's of my collection. I have been collecting for the past 4 years trying to add to my rarer meagre collection that my brothers and I had when we were kids.

I have got a full collection of all the loose figures and have started adding all the variations. In terms of carded figures, I have picked up a few without really having an agenda - I have tried to get most of teh Ewoks & Droids and now just have the expensive ones to get.

Anyway, see what you guys think.

Loose Last 17

These are my carded figures that I have managed to get hold of so far - I have a long way to go before I match some of you lads on here.

and this little chap is the jewel in the crown

I need to work on getting the dings out of his and the other Tri bubbles

Wow Iain Nice, looking really good. Wouldnt mind a set of those droid and ewok figures myself. Thats bloody good going for 4 years mate. Must have cost alot!

Fantastic collection Iain. Nice to finally see it. Some real quality tri-logos there.

Thanks Wayne & Pete

Wayne - I hope you noticed your 8D8 in there (although I know the pictures arent that great)

It has cost a bit of money to put it together but I have done a lot of buying and selling in order to raise the extra cash. Not sure that my missus would agree that I've spend the money wisely but luckily for me she doesn't realise how much some of these things are worth

Need to think of a good way of displaying the carded figures and also want to put all my loose on display as well.

I still have a long way to go I think !!

Cheers
Iain

Nice one Iain - like the MOC a lot

Looks like another one of my old 8D8's found a happy home :lol: :lol:

Thanks Joe

These are the Tri Logo's that we discussed last month - will get some better pictures and then seek your advice on valuations. Also am I right in believing that you have a method to get the dings out of the bubbles?

Cheers
Iain

Aw I hope you don't sell Iain- great collection to build off of !

Yep there are a couple of ways to take the dings out- have a read of this although I would highly recommend not using the hoover unless you are comfortable with doing so.. (its pretty extreme but can work perfectly) - http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t1740-moc-tip-trilogo-bubble-dents?highlight=bubble

Thanks Joe

No definately not looking to sell at the moment (dont tell the missus) - just need to get an idea for my spreadsheet (I am one of these Excel geeks that loves putting lists together). I am completly clueless when it comes to MOC's so will need some help from you lads on here before I start down that route.

Will have a look at the link and see what I can do. Having avoided some potentially nasty hoover related accidents when I was a young lad (unlike one of my mates!) I think I will leave the hoover alone for a while

Cheers
Iain

I have a lot more MOC's to go but have definately gotten the bug to keep building them up - have bids in all over the place at the moment - hopefully I will be able to post a new set of MOC's soon.
