My small modest collection

[Russ J]

Cheers guys much appreciated 8)

The arcade cab I bought about four years ago and let me tell you something....it took an awful lot of 'crawling' to the wiffy to let me have one did off load a few of my restored BMX Raleigh Burners to be able to afford the bugger :lol: ....it's also something that I couldn't have gotten into the house under the radar without her knowing about....unlike a very small 3 3/4" figure :wink:

Awesome collection mate, I assume you're being ironic with your thread title as there's nothing small or modest about it. You were one lucky kid!

Cheers Andy 8)

When I started the thread I just looked at other forum members collections and we're blown away with the size and detail of them :shock: I just saw mine as a small 'Sunday League' gathering of bits and bobs I'd had since I were a kid with the exception of the carded POTF Romba I have (need to retake the photo on that one) that I picked up in the early 90's from a toyfair at Morley Leisure Center (I wasn't even collecting or interested in Starwars then...I were well into my TV related Dinky/Corgi toys at the time)

I bought it cause it was a figure I'd never had when I were a kid

 

[Russ J]

My only carded figure I have is my POTF Romba,which I bought at a Toy fair at Morley Leisure Center in the very early 90's...I didn't have this figure as a kid and like I say I wasn't collecting Starwars then...This is my only vintage item I bought during the 90's...I did start collecting the POTF 2 stuff in 95' but not yet taken photo's of that stuff (I no its not that popular in the community but in 95' it was great to see isle's full of Starwars toys in supermarkets,Toys 'R' Us etc...after all these years and I kinda got drawn in )

My Romba...

Not the mintiest of cards and the bubble has the yellow tint to it but i'm happy with it...It'll probably be the only POTF carded figure i'll own what with the price of them know

 

[grinchy]

Nice Romba,!, i'm sure you'll get more, there are bargains to be had especially in some of the jedi cards, you can get certain figures for around the 50 quid mark or less, I have had a few bargains on here.
As for the modern stuff, well there are a few of us who collect and love both, so post away, we have a modern section at the bottom of the board, you'll find a few of us there sharing our latest modern pickups, heres the link

Cheers grinchy I've seen the modern section of the forum 8) ....some nice stuff it has to be said....I started with the POTF 2 stuff from 95' and continued to collect up until The Phantom Menace stuff came out...bought loads of that episode but when Attack Of the Clones came out I only ever bought one item from that film which was (if I remember rightly) was the Destroyer Droid and that I didn't rate episode two very much so hence the none interest in the toy line.When episode three came out that reignited my interest again and I bought loads of items from that film ( I really enjoyed Revenge Of The Sith) but after that I stopped buying again IE...the Saga collection,the black series etc...

It's mostly POTF 2 and episodes 1 and 3 I bought modern.....I'll have to dig it out of the loft and take photos,not sure what I have tbh all I no is I have masses of the stuff (far more than vintage I do no that though)

 

[Russ J]

My other two remaining figures I forgot to take photos of (Leia Organa and Stormtrooper) together with my new additions I bought a few weeks back.....Amanaman...Admiral Ackbar...Emperors Royal Guard (with slight paint rub on its visor)

Leia's cape isn't in the best of shape and has small rips on the arm sockets but its original never the less (thats how I look at it anyway )

Yes I have been told its unnatural to love the furry beasts but its what I do and I'm ok with it

Stunning collection, as many have said the Arcade Machine is fantastic, I am very much a Vintage Star Wars collector/retro gamer so your collection is of particular interest to me. I did toy with the idea of having an arcade machine but the missus simply wasn't having it, so I do my retro gaming via an original modded Xbox.
It isn't the same but it's still great for a fourty something like me living the dream, nothing quite beats playing Manic Miner or Super Star Wars with some of my collection above the tv.
I am not sure if my missus has twigged on yet but our dining room is slowly becoming my collecting, gaming room :mrgreen:

Had a busy day today taking updated photos of my vintage bits....I'd taken photos ages ago but with photobucket being a royal pain in the arse I decided to retake them an upload straight to the forum...

There maybe a few ships/playsets that appear to have guns missing etc...i do have the parts but they are all stored in my loft....

Enjoy...
