Hi Guys - Finally getting round to introduce myself!

I'm Andy 39 (already!) Married with 2 kids and one on the way.
I've been collecting vintage stuff for a couple of years now, mainly figures (carded and loose) focusing on quality now rather than quantity.
I love some of the old packaging (sweet wrappers etc) and ads from the era. (Although they command quite a premium!)
Will put some pics on here soon.

Cheers

Andy
 
Welcome to all the new members :)

Great to see Andy (chazb73) on board - I got to know him a little while ago we have pm'd each other on a regular basis since I sold him one of my Palitoy's- great bloke all round

Enjoy the forum mate :wink:
 
Hello all :)

Right, so this is where i introduce myself..... i hijacked an ebay thread the other day as i couldnt find the newbie thread :oops:

Single dad of two littlens and younger brother of The Goon who is going under the false alias of Junior Chubb.

Collecting loose complete figures at present and i have a long way to go, so will be on the look out for some bargains and will hopefully be able to avoid ebay once and for all.

Cheers
 
Hello I'm Jonny aka Dr Pittenstein.

I was 8 when Star Wars came out, which might just be the perfect age to see it. I saw The Empire Strikes Back in the Empire Leicester Square in 1980 and that was fairly terrifying to be honest. But I wasn't watching a film, I was in that snow speeder. Jedi in 1983 was great in parts but it didn't even come close to the impact of the other two. I love it now of course. I think the prequel films are great. Not all we hoped for but if we were 8 again how cool would they seem? My nephew saw ep 3 when he was 8 and was freaked out by the burning amputee Anakin scene! I'm personally optimistic about the Disney take over. George has had his day and Disney have been really smart with Marvel.

I'm 43, married with two kids and have recently returned to the UK from working abroad as an advertising copywriter. I have a big thing for Lotus cars and Kawasaki motorcycles. I currently have an Elise and a ZZR1400 which is the nearest thing I'll ever get to an endor forest speeder bike!

I've never seriously collected Star Wars toys, I've always wanted a collection of Japanese toy robots but never got round to starting it. Giving some serious thought to completing a collection of large figures. I think the detailing on them is outstanding, beautifully made and heck they actually look like the movie actors! As a kid I was always fascinated by the large figures and for a collection they should be a bit more affordable than the really sought after stuff.

I have plenty to put in the classifieds here from a stash found in my Granny's house. Her name was Joyce. She was the kindest, most generous Granny anyone ever had. And she had great taste in toys! I'd like her to be remembered here. I must find a picture of her to post. I still miss her.

thanks to everyone's helpful advice on here. It's a great site.
 
Hi Johnny, Im pretty new on here also. I really liked your post. Funny I still miss my Grandparents and think of them both often. Welcome to the site. :wink:
