Bloody immigrants.....comin over here.....buying our figures.....and joining our bloody forums.

Welcome to the forum and welcome to England. :D

Just thought I'd say a little 'hello'. Found the forum a few days ago...

Have been a collector for many years and was quite serious when I was in my 20's, when I started collecting vintage carded figures and then POTF2. I managed to keep most of my childhood figures, although I never had that many :( I gave up collecting when I simply had nowhere to store it all. This led me to sell most of my POTF2/SOTE stuff. My parents were kind enough to store my vintage collection in their loft, where it remains to this day.

Over the years, I've been slowly passing on my remaining POTF2 figures and ships to my two sons, who are Star Wars mad. They love looking through my loose vintage stuff (carefully!) when at my parents' house, and even though only 5 & 7, they remembered that I still needed a handful of figures to complete my collection. Without me knowing, they got my wife to find me a Max Rebo for my birthday. This, along with Jabba, White Bespin Guard and Blue Snag are the only figs I was missing (not including all of the crazy variations!). To say I was stoked to get this was an understatement! It's reignited my interest in the hobby, and at the weekend I'll be collecting most of my collection and bringing it home at long last. We've recently moved to a bigger place and now have the room for it. I'm going to get a couple of Ikea Detolf cabinets ready to house some of it. Any tips for lighting? Thinking of getting some acrylic steps as well.

I can't even remember exactly what I've got in terms of carded figures. I do remember that I have a Luke X-Wing 21 back SW card and Powerdroid on the same, both absolutely mint C9. Can't wait to get them home!

Welcome to the Forum Andy.
 
Thanks mate :) Have posted a few pics here: http://www.starwarsforum.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20874
 
Hi Andy,
Great post. Welcome to the forum.
Getting the Max Rebo must have been awesome. I can highly recommend the Detolf however I don't use lighting myself.
Enjoy yourself

It was indeed! They wanted to get the Snag, but the Mrs said no :lol: Have looked at your Detolf setup and it looks superb. Think I may go wider though, as I've just got hold of a Pride Displays Diorama and I'd love that to have a shelf to itself 8) This is getting expensive very quickly!
 
Hi,

new member here. I'm from the Netherlands. Collected a very nice set of loose vintage figures about 10 years ago, only to sell them all in order to buy vintage skateboards. Just got back into collecting again, hunting for a few figures and more than a few variants now.

:D welcome Michiel, this is a great forum, and you've come to the right place to start collecting again.

Welcome aboard :D
