I have my childhood toys (all mostly beaters and loose)
If I have any thing that maybe you are after, I'm not adverse to getting it to you (I'm no Nick!)

Hi all, been lurking for quite some time here. Picked up collecting about 1,5 years ago.
Had a brief stint before early 2000 but at that time was heavily collecting records as well and decided to not pursue the Star Wars collecting as it would bankrupt me. In retrospect maybe not the best decision
At that time I used to frequent another UK forum and I recall Edd from there actually, B2VOS .

Hoping to learn more here, talk to like minded people and perhaps pick up some nice action figures as well.

Cheers.

[Darth Satan]

Hi I'm Mat.
Previous member here years back but the old account doesn't seem to want to reactivate.
Also darthsatan on Rebelscum forum - again that account is the second one.
Old time collector just bit the bullet and sent stuff to UKG in view of maybe getting out of the hobby. I've got nearly everything loose that's been sat on shelves in my cellar for two decades.

Hello everyone

I'm Gary, 40 years old and living in East London/Essex.

I took a break from collecting vintage some time ago to focus on modern SW and other toy lines. I used to frequent the Rebelscum forums and collect at conventions and comic marts.

I'm now back in again and looking to fill the gaps in my loose collection and hunt down any interesting figure variants or colour variations with the bias towards ROTJ.

 

[Pomse2001]

Welcome dave and gary to the forum :wink:

 

[Jez]

Welcome to SWFUK Gary, i hope that you stick around dude.
