Who's Who - Introduce yourself!

[n74s]

Good Morning All and Hi..

I've been fortunate enough to own all of my vintage collection since new.. oh dear does that make me sound old lol.. and added to it over the years with most of the additions pre-internet :shock:

It's not a huge collection, or complete, but consists of mainly loose figures (that i will complete one day soon with only 8 or 9 POTF figs remaining) and a few different ships and vehicles. Most of the ships/vehicles have their boxes but the boxes are pretty damaged.

I also have a few EP1 & EP2 carded figures (which i am selling to focus on my vintage collection)

Anyway i'd thought i'd say hello and introduce myself as Nick.
Cheers

Just wanted to say "hi" as a new member here. Have had a browse and have picked up lots of great info. Have joined up as my daughter wants to build up a collection of lower end vintage stuff (cash constraints) and some newer collectibles. Firstly though I will be raiding my parents' attic to see what I can find there and then negotiate with my brother to decide who owns what!

Regards

Rev

Hi guys!

New member from Stockholm and also "new" to collecting Star Wars. Had a couple of figures many years ago but since they were/are pretty expensive for a 15 year old kid, the collecting came to a halt pretty early and the pieces were eventually sold to welcome new sneakers.

Now, a couple of years later I´m back in the game and it feels awesome. Started from scratch 3 weeks ago with a 6 piece lot of badly shaped loose figures. Since then, packages has been pouring in from all over the world. Ebay winnings along with purchases from various forums has now resulted in a complete loose collection in under 3 weeks. Well, not 100% complete since I´m missing loose versions of Romba, EV-9D9, A-Wing Pilot, Admiral Akbar and R2 POP. Although, as I´m heavy-searching these pieces 24/7 it won't be long until they are in my possession =)

See this as an short introduction of myself along with my first of many more to come unboxing videos. I´ve also added a two of pics of my current loose-display. Enjoy!

Hi All

After being out of the game for 30 years I decided to get back into vintage collecting a few months ago. So far I have mostly been binge reading forums and podcasts to try to catch up on what I have missed and the more I find out the more consumed by the hobbie I can tell I am becoming.

As with many newbies my first aim to to collect a run of loose figures and ships and as I'm operating on a shoe string budget this may take me some time but I am loving the experience so far.

I'm not really someone who has dabbled in forums and online communities before but having read a lot on swfuk I decided to take the plunge and try to contribute to rather than just observe what is going on.
