Vintage Shops/Dealers

Hey Carl,

Good to see you back - a few of us have been dragged back in lately!

Brianstoys are around still as are Finalfrontiertoys but that's about it for anything of any substance. Tom Derby is still around too, if you're feeling really flush. Vectis have been selling a lot lately too.

As far as I can tell, most sales are done on Facebook now, and occasionally ebay. The forums have changed a lot - RS is very quiet in terms of sales now.

What are you planning on collecting? Or just seeing what takes your fancy?

Hey Carl,

I am going to pick up my original focus, which is to get every figure on there debut (front only ) cards but tbh, I dont think I can afford some of them these days, I am just going to buy mocs and see where it takes me.
 
I came back recently and have started on a MOC collection. Ive gone for the ROTJ wave figures on ROTJ cards to start with, only stipulation really is a sealed bubble and not trashed card. Prices have shocked me on many higher grade items. Ill complete that run and see how I feel. I might go for trashed 12 nacks next but even they are out of my range now I fear.

Is Faceache really the place to buy? I've avoided it thus far in life and had hoped to keep it that way.

Here + RS + evilbay have served me well so far. Do I really need to fall in line and succumb to Zuckerberg to source the things I want?

EBay prices have skyrocketed so much lately it's pointless buying from there unless you're lucky enough to find a mis titled item or a cheap BIN.

I've nabbed many an MOC from some guys here... and possibly at the best prices you'll find.

Facebook groups have certainly picked up in popularity and some nice stuff does come up there too.. I was lucky with my Tri Yak on there a month or so ago.
