Hi everyone. Have just acquired the first two figures for my new collection. Grew up with Star Wars and now in my 40's, and am pretty excited about starting this collection. Just trying to forget the 70 odd figures that I had from new and promptly ripped open so that they could be played with! Would be worth a fortune now!!
 
Hi all, good to be here. My name's Rob, I'm 41 and I live in Christchurch New Zealand (moved out here from Durham (not the prison!) 6 years ago.
I've had vintage figures from 1977 onwards, but no MOC ones other than recent stuff, until now. Chatting to a comic book store guy in Dunedin on one of my sales trips a month ago has changed all that, and now I'm hooked :D .... I've bought a few items off ebay including a 21-back AFA Death Star Droid and a 20-back Power Droid (which I'm hoping to god turn out to be genuine) as well as a few missing weapons (again real I hope but I don't have them yet) for my loose incomplete figures. Hope to get lots more in the coming months :)
 
Welcome Rob, great forum, get pics up on the relevant thread, as you build your collection,

The addiction is something we all have in common :D

Enjoy the ride bud
 
Heya folks! I'm Nick, from the Isle of Wight - thought I'd pop a hello as I have just joined up. Started collecting when I was 5 back in 1977 when my grandparents bought me some figures for Christmas. Sold my collection around 2004 - wish I hadnt, like most, due to finances. Things have since changed and a family loss has given me a bit of perspective, so I have decided to start up collecting again.

Looks like that will be a bit pricey - wish I had kept my fairly mint collection, especially the vehicles as they were all boxed!

Anyhow, hope to get to know some of the personalities on here. Probably be asking a few questions too - it seems quite daunting with all this repro stuff. Also graded loose figures seemingly more expensive than MOC ungraded figues... whats that about?

Hope you are all well, and see you (so to speak) in the forums.

Nick.
