Hi all,
I'm a new member joining today, admittedly I've poked around the site a bit for a few weeks and can't quite believe how much info there is on here - so thank you all for that already!
I've a small collection that's been growing on and off for the last 25years; having sold my own childhood haul around the time of my A'levels and then almost instantly regretted it, so started collecting what I could at a time that car boot sales still turned out boxed ships with figures and weapons for less than the cost of a pint...
I'm still looking for a handful of boxed playsets and vehicles to finish the set, before I wander down the long and expensive path of carded figures, I've resisted so far and I only have about 15 of them; all ROTJ and Tri-logo.
Wiltshire based, so if you know of any events or outlets other than eBay to source stuff info would be very welcome.
Cheers

Pets: Cat called Saturday
Collecting Focus: Loose complete set
My sister came to visit recently and turned up with some boxes of my childhood "Star Wars crap" that my parents wanted rid of. It's about 70 loose figures (most without weapons) and a few monsters and ships. The girlfriend was hoping it was worth some money (coz it's Star Wars) and that we could go off on a nice holiday. I've done some research and discovered they're worth peanuts. Much to my girlfriend's delight I'm now filling in the gaps and buying more "Star Wars crap"!
I've been lurking on here for a few weeks and picked up lots of useful tips. I look forward to chatting and trading with other members soon!

Hello everyone,
dipped into the forum for the first time a couple of weeks ago, wealth of information and great folk so far, but thought I had better introduce myself properly.
I'm Jim, based just outside Norwich and for work I teach. Star Wars fan since I was little, but being born just after ROTJ I was never exposed to many Star Wars toys. By the time Episode 1 came out, my money was going on other things.......
I have been meaning to get into collecting for years, and I am glad to have finally started. I have received loads of good advice on the thread 'starting out as a collector' and look forward to putting something back into the forum in the years to come.
Today my collection expanded after a visit to the Norwich Sci Fi event. Great to pick up some bargains and meet some guys from this forum. I am collecting loose vintage, and I suppose if pushed I would really like a complete Barada to add to my collection (plan to create a Desert Sail Skiff diorama in time) but I'm spent out after today so that will have to wait.
Cheers,
Jim.
