Lonebudman's collection.

[Lonebudman]

I started collecting last July,I started with loose figures and then started collecting moc's also,unfortunately I have no display yet.
If I didn't burn through 6-7 sets of motorcycle tyres a year and other service associated parts that come along with high mileage I could spend a lot more on this hobby lol but for what i've spent i'm happy.

As far as i'm aware all weapons and accessories are genuine apart from a question mark over 2 imperial blasters.Just missing a few weapons here and there though I need loads of force pikes.


Due to Empire cutbacks the Royal Guards have to share one force pike.


One of the Leia Organa's has a blue instead of black weapon,need a complete sabre for the farmboy and a blaster for one of Luke Jedi's.


Just need a blaster for the Jawa.




Need a blaster for Luke.




Some of my mocs are a bit scruffy but I don't care I love them!
Question mark over the Royal Guard moc though,I can't decide whether its a reseal or not,i'll post it in another thread to see what people think.



Any feedback and thoughts on my collection are very welcome,cheers!

Love the cutbacks! That's how I started. I was buying them without weapons. Got weapons for them all though. Also, you have the last figure I need!!! GRRRRR! Great start

 

[kylesbullets]

Also quick way to check if you weapons are real or not.... put them in a cup of water and see if they float or not. I believe it is if they float, they are good. Admiral Akbar is the only exception...

[Dublinjeff]

Great collection there mate.....very nice.....Some really cool MOC there... 8)
If you ever decide to part with that palitoy vader give me a shout...... :wink:

 

[x-pack]

Yeh, cool collection. Likewise if you ever want to part with your ERG. What makes you think it's a reseal? I notice the pike is lying across and the bubble looks different to mine. Doesn't look at all yellowed. Nice condition if it's right though 8)

 

[TwistedMetal]

Craig that's a fantastic collectIon you have there mate.

 

[mumbo]

[Pomse2001]

Hi Craig, nice collection you have

So what is your focus and goal :?:

 

[Dark Sith Lord]

[Lonebudman]

Cheers guys!

Kylesbullets,95% of my purchases are complete figures as I quickly learned its a pain in the ass(easier now i've joined this forum) getting the weapons separately.Sometimes I buy the figures in lots and the ERG's came within 2 lots that I got for great money.ERG's still look cool with out their weapons though! 8)

Jeff the only moc i'd probably get rid of is the Trilogo though it was an impulsive first buy and I know I overpaid for it so i'd lose out selling it.Trading it would probably be a good option.

Pomse,a complete loose run.All 79 ROTJ mocs though i'm not fussed what back they have or whether they're Palitoy or Kenner but I could see this changing in the future.I would also like to get the last 15 on POTF cards.
I am wanting 12 backs more and more though,I would love a Leia 12 back!

X-Pack,its the tearing around the bottom of the bubble that looks dodgy.The rest of it looks fine though and the card went through an auction house to the seller I bought it off so I thought it would have been verified there.It almost looks likes its been messed up at the factory but alas i'm no expert and this is all speculation.I bought it on holiday(damn eBay app lol) while sitting on the balcony half cut and I regretted it the next day when I sobered up and looked at the tearing.
Anyways heres a pic of the tearing i'm referring too.

Hi Lonebudman, sounds like you have some great goals, good luck with the hunt :wink:

 

[Mr. Tie]

Very nice collection to start with 8)

The MOC's are really great, so are the loose figures. Last year I bought a Darth Vader collector case filled with loose action figures. It was really cheap and I thought I just bought some figures without any weapons. To my suprise the case was loaded with genuine vintage weapons! And it contained a near mint R5D4 and a very nice Boba Fett.

And hey, not every vintage weapon floats :lol:

 

[Snake_eyes_82]

Nice man!

 

[Jedi_june]

Great collection of loosies & the ships are great. Nice mocs too. I like the way you have the snowies holding their guns.

 

[Capetown]

As the lads are saying, great start! I must say I envy you a bit being in this stage of your collecting. Lots of excitement in getting a new figure in your mailbox and hunting down the weapons that belong to them. Good going!

 

[hellhippie]

great set
