New to the site and looking forward to getting to know some of you as I resurrect my collection.
Back in 92' I was discharged from the RAF after a short spell in MCTC Colchester, long story! Anyway, during that time all my belongings were put into storage and subsequently vanished. Fast forward to about 6months ago and the RAF contact me, via my Nat Ins No through my employer. They have found my stuff in an old store and do I want it back, over twenty years later. MENTAL!! as I got compensation for it back in 93'
So three months ago a courier arrives with 5 small wooden tea crates. Mostly clothes that no longer fit, old bmx mags, records and other junk. But the best part was the start of my loose Vintage Star Wars figure collection, some of which were mine and my brothers original figures. I am still totally overwhelmed to have them back and it has reignited my passion to complete this collection.
Anyway this is me

Thanks for the welcome. My current overall collection. Need to catalog them all and assess condition, variances, etc. Then I will make a list of what I still need and what to replace. Going for the best condition I can afford.
Nice collection marc, great to see a picture from a childhood collection 8)
