Modern collection thread

[chiffy]

Great viewing Grinchy me old marra! Keep up the good work guys, saves me looking at the missus :mrgreen:

 

[grinchy]

I decided to leave my small tree up as part of the display, it'll hold only star wars decorations, bit crammed in there but it'll do

Also a pic of my autograph wall

Hi guys found a lot of stuff id firgotten about in the loft... With this modern stuff is there anything i should be looking out for??

 

[grinchy]

Best bet is to take detailed pics of what you have, make a separate thread, then I'm sure you'll get some bites, I know a couple of the guys collect phantom menace figures, you might have something they need, good luck with it

 

[coomber75]

Cheers lads will do some pics n thread

Are you interested in adding to your collection I have a lot carded and boxed from.1995 can supply full list. Or ask if any your after I may have them?

 

[jonbon07]

Dude! Those are epic! Weirdly enough I saw a US listing with some of these (poor condition) and I wondered WTF they were as I have no memory of them at all. Despite the condition I was still tempted, though.

Having got back into the POTF line (FFs only ATM) I would very much like to complete a run of these. Any pointers as to what to expect to pay? I take it eBay is the best place to hunt them down?

I have a vast collection from 1995 -2010 if interested I can send you a list

So i'm next to useless when it comes to DIY,so the wife put up some shelves in the mancave

Hi all,

Found this in an old box and wondered if there was any value?

Mint, never been used....was still in its plastic bag.

 

[jedi_mister]

Based on this ebay listing I'd say most probably not worth a lot - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Star-Wars...D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Interesting item though.

 

[robpmarsh]

Ah well....back in the box it goes!

 

[jedi_mister]

I'm sure it'd look quite good on display!

 

[grinchy]

That's a nice bag, yeah pop it on display
Spent some time putting these cards on the back of my door, I don't have all the carded figures in the line, i'm missing hux which i'll pick up eventually, but that's all i'm after really

Looking good Grinchy, using all available space, proper man cave

 

[grinchy]

Cheers mate,
yeah big blank space filled with star wars works for me

 

[Russ J]

I remember when I were hunting TFA figures there seemed to be plenty of Hux's about,bit of a peg warmer at the time

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, I had a look and couldn't find him at Tru, not in a hurry so no worries
Got some clear decorating clips from Homebase after a tip from a friend on another board, adhesive backed small clips that are perfect for MOC

 

[grinchy]

[grinchy]

Here are some more cards added to the wall display

8) looking a fine display there grinchy 8)

bloody wish my other half would let me display my collection like that :x

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, I had to wait till my daughter moved out to get the room, my wife likes the display and now its all contained she likes it even better

 

[grinchy]

Added more hooks to the wall, now the black series is all out on display

 

[grinchy]

Bit more added, walls getting full now!

 

[chiffy]

I know this isnt strictly all Star Wars related but i am feeling quite proud of my self for finally sorting out and tidying up 1 half of the manloft! Didnt realise just how many Jakks figures i had stashed away :mrgreen: so thought they deserved to have an airing! The Hulkster looked very happy indeed to be reunited with Princess Leia Organa altho' She Ra looked a bit pissed!
You really dont want to see the other half of the stash at the moment but 1 day......... :wink:

 

[Russ J]

Thats a cool display there Chiffster,nice one mate 8) ....

I used to have a few of the WWF figures years ago,nothing 'rare' so to speak...I sold majority of them at a car boot I did in the mid 90's with the exception of Macho Man Randy Savage which I still have....Also still have a couple of head Bandanas as well (Hulk Hogans Python Power and Randy Savage one) I also still have the Ultimate Warrior 'bomber' style jacket as well,think I got it from when I used to collect the VHS tapes of the various events,ie...Wrestlemania's,Royal Rumbles etc...it was (I think) a company called 'Silver Vision' who released these videos and in the boxes there were order forms that you could send off with a postal order (remember them :lol just to cover the postage of the jacket...so you got the jacket just for the price of the postage :lol: ......Also still got about 3 years worth of the WWF monthly magazine from around December 91' to around mid 94' also still got various copys of the 'Spotlight' magazine as well..
