Hello, I was directed here by Darth_Sith_Lord over at Rebelscum.com.
My name is Mark Daniels, I'm a self employed commercial artist and designer - and more importantly, I collect mostly vintage sci fi toys from the 70's and 80's - mostly Star Wars stuff.
Nearly completed my loose vintage figure set, just a handful to get. Only decided to put together a set 2 months ago. Recently landed a vinyl Jawa and blue Snaggletooth
I collected and then traded in the early 90's under the name SUBLEVEL along with a couple of friends. We were amongst the first traders in vintage SW stuff and it was a great time! Going to car boot sales and finding box upon box of loose figures for 50p each. 12" figures, playsets and vehicles - and all for pennies.
My dad thought I was mad, until he saw me sell a loose Yak Face for £25 - which back then, was top $!
Collecting has changed dramatically since then!
I'm now lucky enough to be self employed doing something I love, working from the home I share with my wife and 2 brilliant kids. I also do work for the likes of Acme Archives, WeLoveFine.com and a couple of other companies who have the license for Star Wars.

Hope to post here often!
Cheers,
Mark
