Evening all, Baron Crowf here. Although I've been a member for a while I haven't posted anything but will be more visible now so time for an introduction.

Introduced to the forum by Hoth Jim about a year ago and present at this weekends Farthest From. Inspired by the knowledge of the guys I met as well as the curry and ale!

Still have my childhood Star Wars toys from the 70's/80's but very limited knowledge of the toy range so this weekend as well as regularly talking to Hoth Jim is an education for me.

Interested in collecting GI Joe Cobra figures personally but am endlessly fascinated by Star Wars and Baroness Crowf is far more of an authority and collector than me to be fair.

Thinking about starting a Wrestling thread in the "Off Topic" section in the near future.

All the best and see you in the future.

Hi Princess Raya, Jonnyparker and Baron Crowf, welcome to the forum :wink:
 
Hello y'all,

I've been a massive SW fan since back in the day and for some reason I've recently fell back in love with the collectables side, although I've yet to dip my feet in and actually buy anything as I'm trying to re-educate myself with stuff like repos, reseals, Toni's etc etc and the current prices it's probably not a good idea to splurge but I'm getting close! :D

My name is Ben and originally from Manchester but now living on the West coast of Scotland, fell in love with the SW universe when the movies were first released and had ton's of the toy range which I of course chewed up and spat out and sadly only have half a dozen figures which I came across in a recent move but getting back into it and searching around it's jogging memories and scaring me how much of this stuff I had!

After I stopped collecting I got into gaming and that kept my SW fantasies alive and kicking with most memorable game being SW:Galaxies, helping build one of the first cities in the world and moisture farming on Tatooine while slaying Womp rats was much fun but now waiting for SW battlefront for my next pixelated pleasures!

Now I'm getting back into collecting think it's best to start small and get a mintyish set of loose figures and whatever else I can pick up relatively cheap, so you might see me around a bit and I look forward to getting to know the place..MTFBWY
 
Great first post Boba A Feet - take your time and enjoy building up your collection again. I'm counting the days until the new Battlefront game as well :D

Hi All!

I'm new to the board, but not to collecting as it's been a pretty big part of my life, on and off, for the past 20 years.

I started off with a few loose figures, back in 1995 - before I'd ever been on line - and aquired a nice little collection through shows and Model & Collectors Mart. I remember buying a 12 back Vader for £90 and being casual given the choice of 'Kenner or Palitoy'!

Then the internet revolution happened to me (remember going onto yahoo and being able to get your actual name - rather than max72563783?!). After a couple of years online, I'd embraced overseas transactions and put together a few nice pieces - Revenge Mini-rigs, a 3 pack, an earlybird kit (with a sealed DT Luke for £300 or so!), a few proof cards and 11 of the 12 Palitoy '12back' figures. I remember meeting a chap at the NEC to buy a 12 back Palitoy Luke for £500!

I tend to churn things over a little as focus' and interests change, and they did, so the above went and I did other things for a while, until I was drawn back into Proof Cards. I managed to again put together a decent little collection with some real rarities. But once again, life moved on, I wanted to buy a house, and I ended up selling everything to fund a deposit.

I didn't really collect for a few years, although I took a last minute flight to CE2 in Germany to meet Mark Hammill and get his signature, which was something I'd regretted not doing since CE in London.

I suppose SW collecting must be in your veins; as two house moves later I'm back with the itch!

So Hi! I'm sure there are some old faces around still, who I might know, and might know me - but hi to everybody. I've lost a lot of brain cells since I was last collecting, so be gentle if I ask some dumb questions.
