Hi,

Steve here from sunny Leeds :) I have been recommended this forum from the Echo Base UK Facebook group.

Im a big collector primarily of retro video games, im also a forum moderator on RetroCollect.com and own a ridiculous amounts of 80s things :) One of the biggest regrets of my life (and im sure im not the only one) is selling off my entire boxed original star wars collection when i was a child to my cousins so i could get enough money for a sega master system, i had boxed at-at, millenium falcon, about 30 action figures. At the time i was happy, and so were my cousins but they eventually just broke it all :-(

Over the last few years i've been getting into collecting 80s toys and action figures, im now getting a fairly good collection of bits that have taken over my house, the kids also love playing with the older action figures too.

Im currently embarking on organising a sales event in Leeds called Collectorabilia, it will take place in Leeds Town Hall Crypt on 21st March 2015 and im hoping to fill the room with sellers of 80s/90s toys, action figure, collectables, memorabilia, video games. Essentially my childhood in a room :) Im looking to get some good star wars sellers at the event too, also a friend of mine is looking to sell off his entire Star Wars collection too, so i'll be pointing him towards here to help with some valuations too if thats ok.

Looks like a great forum from what ive seen so far

Hi all.

My name is Kevin. I live in London in England. I'm an avid collector of all different genres but I do have a soft spot for vintage carded figures.
 
Hi everyone, signed up a couple of days ago just started collecting again. I may be asking a fair amount of advice now I'm trying to re collect. The names Stu, I'm in sheffield and will be mainly collecting loose figures and vehicles (I say this but probably wont stick to it). Best thing is the other half is happy for me to start collecting again... Until she sees the bank account!
