In reply to the question about how many Teebo figures? Not that many only about 7 or 8.
All that was left in stock same it took me 31 years to buy an Ewok Village ( which was my Birthday Present last week). Better late than never.

Hi All,

Just thought I'd say hi as I've recently joined back up here. I'm a long term collector (from childhood in the 70's and back in the old glorious Cheshunt fairs days !!) and have been on here before I think, ages ago, along with a bunch of other forums I used to be on but kinda drifted out of after getting more involved in the prop side of things for a few years.

A lot of you probably know or have seen me about, I'm a friend of Gus, Brandon, Darren Simpson, Steve Lane, etc. and you may have seen me hosting the prop panel at the last celebration in London….. or you may recognise me from the 'Bernie Clifton' style Taun-Taun I used to run around in after a few beers !!!

It's been nice to come back to the toy side of things and fill in a few slots that were missing from my vintage collection without having to re-mortgage the house which is the direction the prop side of things is going !!

Look forward to joining in the fun,
Cheers,
Andy

Hello everyone. I am not a Star Wars collector at the moment. I actually have a massive collection of football (soccer) trading cards, about 36000 at the last count, but I am looking into collecting something else alongside these and as Star Wars figures were my favourite toys as a kid, I thought why not have a small collections of these. I live in Weymouth, deliver top of the range bedroom furniture for a living, listen to Punk and Ska music, watch live bands when any can be bothered to visit this little seaside town, drink occasionally and don't take drugs anymore. I support Arsenal FC.

Hi all,

my name is Steve, I'm from Munich, Germany.
I'm 40 years old and have been collecting for the last 22-23 years, with varying intensity.
After selling my childhood collection when I was 16 to fund a motor bike (which of course I never got), I got back into collecting just a few years later, as soon as I had my drivers license and could drive to local toy shows.
After 1995, I fell into the dreaded POTF2 trap, which was of course a big black money-sucking hole, but it introduced me to the internet and ebay.
In the last years, I have mainly been focusing on Tri Logos and have built up a nice collection which I will share with you in a short while (currently busy redecorating and rearranging my collection room). Therefore, just a few older pics.
I am mostly active on the German forum lichtgeschwindigkeit.de, and on a couple of Facebook groups, where I go by my real name Steve Karnoll.

I'm looking forward to chatting and learning some new stuff, meeting old and new collectors and friends.

Cheers,
Steve

Hi

My name is Leigh Age 43 and new to this site.

I have been collecting for about 2 years and am totally addicted.

I generally collect loose figures and MISB and MOC Last 17 items.

Don't really have any specific focus yet but think I should get one as it is too expensive and never ending

I am hoping to learn more about vintage 77 - 85 collecting and hopefully bring something to the site.

Thanks

Hi thought I'd better introduce myself after 10 posts, my names Matt, been a collector since 1980-85 then 92 onwards, luckily as mentioned before, I managed to hold on to my childhood collection and most of my figs were in pretty good nick, and amazingly still had most of the weapons to. I have the usual ships etc from childhood and boxes not to bad either. All missing the mail-a-ways as was always sending off for figs an weapons. Never knew about the last 17 and even missed buying them in the 90's at boot sales as didn't know they were star wars, (would have only been 50p each back then ).
Never paid much for anything most collecting done at boot sales over the year's just for fun, still find the odd jem even now. Luv the relaxed atmosphere of the forum, normally chirp in when memories are stirred by subjects, seems like there is always something interesting going on, on the boards.

 

[Jez]

Welcome Leigh & Matt. Thanks for stopping by. Please take off your coat and hang around.
You'll like it here, you've taken your first step into a larger world.

Age: 40
Single
Residence: Leeds, W Yorkshire
Occupation: IT Storage Engineer

Collecting Focus: Avid Collector as a child

Just introducing myself...

Having moved house over 25 times in my life, I figured it was time to reduce the amount of boxes I keep moving, so it seems the time has come to offload my 80's Star Wars collection.

After seeing SW and ESB then actually seeing the original release of ROTJ at the cinema - I was hooked - loved the story and ideas and I got lost in the world of Star Wars for many years ... possibly still am! (I have tickets to the BAFTA premier in London on thursday)
I collected random Star Wars figures and vehicles over the years (as my parents finances allowed) I now have a reasonable collection of loose figures and some boxed vehicles - mostly well played with (I was a careful child) so everything is in pretty good condition.

Off the top of my head ... a couple of the boxed toys are ESB Slave 1, ROTJ Xwing and ROTJ Scout Walker ... in the next few weeks/months i'll catalog what i have, take photos and get peoples advice on the best place to sell and fair prices for all.


Thanks
Dave

Hi everybody,

My name is James - from Norfolk in the UK.

I've just started my vintage collection... having found a dozen or so figures in my loft! I've always loved star wars (well, the original trilogy) and thought it would be fun to put a collection together, which relatively speaking, is affordable (i also like vintage watches but sadly my salary limits this collction somewhat!)

I'm very prepared to do research which is something i will enjoy, but thought id join this forum to learn and ask questions. Equally, if you have any figures you wish to sell to get my collection going then do get in touch. I should probably list what ive got already i guess, but have to go out now (force awakens midnight showing beckons!). Thanks for reading J

 

[tobedesu]

Evening all,

I'm Kev, 41.
Live and work in the Midlands as an assistant manager in retail.

I have all of my stuff from the good old days and got it out of storage the other day after a friend of mine told me he was about to sell his.
What with The Force Awakens coming out, it's stoked my interest in vintage again.

I used to live in Tokyo and have collected a number of items from there including the Pepsi bottles, cans, and keychains, magazines and promo items and food packaging all the way to the Bandai 3po, R5 and R5 model kits and the Tamashii Nations Vader.
My favourite of my modern stuff is my R2 alarm clock and Gentle Giant R2 and Leia animated statue (black/white version). Got them both from Japan.

I am considering adding to my vintage stuff with some carded figures. But not sure yet where to start or which figure to get first.
I have no real focus, just what interests me. I do seem to have quite a lot of R2 stuff though.

Hi guys,

Hope you are all doing well Been a long time since I darkened the forum so I thought I would drop by and say hello. Moved house recently and I just finished converting the attic into a space for my collection. It has been in storage for the last few years and the time has come for it to come out of storage, hopefully over the Xmas holidays.

I'm not sure if I am gonna start collecting again or what is going to happen but I am feeling very excited about seeing it again. I have been lurking on here over the last couple of weeks checking out my old collection pics and reminiscing about the past. Gonna see the new movie tomorrow night and I'm feeling a bit of the buzz again.

Here are a couple of old links to my stuff in vintage showcase. I had a Yoda focus, 47a Focus and collected a bit of everything toy related.
