Hi Guys just signed up. got back into vintage collecting after 10 years off
Name: Rick
Age:32
Single/married: Married
Residence: Leeds
Occupation: Self employed car body repair
Kids: 1
Pets: 2xcats
Collecting Focus: Palitoy moc / full run of loose figures
Character Focus: none
Wants list:
heres my story, i was born in 1980 so i only had star wars for a few years of my childhood, i got back into collecting in 1994/5
i was still at school when i saw a wanted advert in the local paper for vintage stuff.
i called the guy and couldnt believe how much MOC , boxed, loose, it was amazing and how many figures there actually were in the line.
I always thought there were about 12 vintage figures ever made as i only had a few of the main characters as a kid!
from 95-99 i collected nearly all the loose figures apart from the last 17 as they were out of my budget at the time!
girls booze and cars stopped me collecting for a few years and i even sold a lot of my stuff.
in 2005 i decided to finish my complete loose mint collection.
then for some unknown reason i decided to sell it all a year later. :?
an old pic of my nearly complete loose run in 2004 so annoyed i sold this:
now 2012 married baby house all done and settled the bug never left and i really want a loose collection in a nice wooden glass cabinet on my living room wall!
so im starting all over again and i bought myself the first 12 figures loose for xmas all C9+ ive decided to collect each set as they came out so next on the list is the 1978 releases and a vinyl jawa. ive alsso got a thing for ROTJ palitoy MOC as thats what i remember as a kid. so ive got 8 or 9 jedi figures MOC too.
