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.

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

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

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. :D

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

Hi scott82. I am a newbie so nice to be back?. :Dscott82 said:
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
Age: 40
Single/Married: Married
Residence: South east
Occupation: Healthcare
Kids: 2
Pets: tortoise
Collecting Focus: Vintage loose in nice condition.
Character Focus: Depends on the week
Collecting interest:
Like most of you no doubt....brings back great childhood memories and can now share these with my own kids!
Looking For: scam free dealings and authentic items!!
Thanks
Warf
