Who's Who - Introduce yourself!

[TheJabbaWookie]

I've always enjoyed listening to the vintage Star Wars pod casts and reading all the latest collecting books. I find focusing on the Die Cast can be a lonely endeavor but have made some great collecting friends.

Thanks for the great work everyone does and chat soon.

Get to know Andy (spoons). He's a die hard Die Cast lover.

Welcome to the new guys, enjoy the forum, gain knowledge and collect those lovely vintage pieces 8)

Hi Taff

Thanks for the welcome, I am concentrating on the vintage ROTJ line, I have other collectables like glasses, lego figures, prints and my prized Harrison Ford autograph that sits nicely in my office.

Take care

Russ

I seem to me more drawn to ROTJ too. I remember that film better than the other two!

Hello from Jedijut,

My name is Justin Lea from Australia.

Thanks for the great work everyone does and chat soon.

Hi Justin,

Great to see a returner. I have only been here a few months and even though social media seems to be dominant around the world, this forum I feel takes a niche spot amongst them all. The experience and advice is freely given and very welcoming. I also found the more you get involved the steeper the experience curve gets. Enjoy and look forward to your contributions from Australia.

Taff

Thanks for the welcome, definitely looking forward to contributing here and getting to know everyone better.

Justin

Hey guys NOOB here....well kinda hahaha

Im 49 years old from the USA living in indonesia.

Just a few months ago I was able to get back some of my original SW figures after my parents passed.I had no idea good ole mom saved them after all these years!!!


I got 30 ish figures, most are not worth much at all but its like a dream come true to know that there are the ones i played with!!! I did get my blue snagg and jawa!!! ive done some research and im 99% sure my Jawa was a VC however of course I dont have the cape..... The markings seem to be a VC but hes in bad shape.... oh well at least I know he was my original Jawa I would have to say my most prized is my Vader with original cape " missing the saber" :-( and Boba, and 5 good looking storm troopers. Anyways im getting back a small lump of money from them passing and I plan on spending some of the money on something that would always remind me of my great childhood. Im going to take the plug and buy something that I can enjoy till I pass then pass along to my grandson. Ive got it down to three items:

1. MOC Vader " Have my eye on a ESB with revenge of the jedi sticker"
2. MOC Boba Fett
3. Loose Luke DT saber figure

Ive always been a Empire fan so im leaning towards the Vader and Boba however there are so many Vaders thats its hard to pick from hahaha

ESB vader with revenge sticker or 12 back Vader.....
ESB Boba or Return of the Jedi Boba.....

Ive been told this is how it all starts...... buy one MOC....and your going to want more
Now only if I win that lotto hahahahahah

 

[Taffius]

Welcome jt1969. So sorry to hear your news but this forum is great for such support and advice.

I am new too and my choice personally would be the boba moc.
Perhaps not as iconic as other two but i am biased in my choice. I am sure any one of the 3 would be a great choice.

There is some depth of experience here to enhance your decision making so hope it goes well and we get an update on the decision.

Hello twofoot and welcome back, you've been a member a long time! Are you as crazy as all the other original members? Look forward to reading your posts, although I'll be reading them one step at a time. :roll:

 

[TWOFOOT]

It's just a shame that all my photobucket pictures have gone.

There is a way of getting them back. Someone else can help you and there is a thread somewhere on how to do it.

Wish I could go back to the 80's and start my collection again

I am a newbie on here and everyone is really friendly

Welcome back Twofoot

 

[Mini99]

Welcome back Twofoot.
I like you sold my collection and am now buying it back at many times the cost!
It's a crazy place now, where for example loose complete and graded can be worth more than the MOC!

Hi everyone
I signed up to the forum a while back and have found the information on the site to be great. Have finally got round to saying hi! Not very good at this stuff so if I have posted in wrong place or hijacked the wrong thread then apologies!
I've been collecting over the last 4 years again having bought a large collection when 18 years old (having a strong memory of all my loose figures going at a car boot sale for £5 in the 80s)!
Hate: repro and scams
Love: honest sellers and buyers
So far got the bug for loose complete figures but think of going graded due to repro! Have bought kids most of the 90s ships to play with along with the beaters!
Would attach photos of collection but like I say... not the best at technology!
Name: Warf
