Latest Acquisitions

[ooohteeny!]

My only question would be - would that detract from the value for resell?. Dunno. But if that doesn't bother you, why not add the stickers. :wink:

Well I'm not collectiong for any finacial gain nor do I intend to sell them anytime soon. It's far to much of a ball ache trying to get decent figures in the 1st place just to then go and sell them on.

I think I'll go ahead and do it :twisted:

I am a collector of unused MIB vehicles and while I realize that my collecting niche is probably very small, I'm sure there are others who do collect like me and who would be very happy with an unused Snowspeeder. So... maybe that's something to consider before you apply the decals?

I have a very nice boxed Snowspeeder with decals applied for sale if you're interested?

 

[Bollux]

I dont think you should apply the decals, I mean its your choice but it's almost the same as opening an MOC

 

[sith-smith]

I just acquired a Snow Speeder without the stickers applied, it's in a TriLogo ROTJ box.

As I've said before, I'm new to this, would putting the stickers on etc be some form of cardinal sin? It seems to me a shame to leave them in the box, it's easy one of the best looking vehicles imo.

As usual, any guidance is much appreciated.

My advice...don't do it. It would lower the value as they are rarer with stickers unapplied and I think it adds something to it as part of star wars toy history. plus, you coud easily pick up a loose one for display.

 

[PGowdy]

Well, there you go teeny. I must admit i had no idea, but the advice above does make sense. MIB stuff is really not my area.
What Emiel says about buying one already "stickered" and selling your one really isn't a bad idea. Plus you stand to make a little pocket money. :wink:

*lesson: Don't listen to Pete about anything, ever. :lol:

Let's hope the damage hasn't been done yet. :?

What sort of money we looking at? Just out of interest mind?

 

[Capetown]

:evil: :lol:

Seriously mate, reconsider. The Snowspeeder is a thing of beauty even without the decals, you'll see.

My thoughts exactly! :lol:

I've got a few snowspeeders I'll be sticking up for sale in a thread in a few days after I get pictures taken and electrics tested etc.

 

[lee gray]

Even if not planning on selling, its best to leave the decals unapplied as you never know in the future you might need a bit of spare cash and reluctantly have to sell, and you would have devalued the item quite significantly.

 

[Capetown]

On topic again. :wink: Here's something I just received. I'm immensely happy with it.

Here's some background on this Landspeeder from Lafos' blog.

Thanks for all the compliments fellows. Had a bit of a scare when I opened the parcel because it was wrapped in bubble plastic and the cello tape had stuck to the shrink wrap plastic. Came away without any damage though.
