Hello
Wasnt sure to post this in the introductions, or new purchases...
I used to collect Vintage Stars Wars years ago, I collected everything and anything - figures, playsets, mini rigs etc.
The collection grew out of control and I was becoming obsessed, waking up at 5am and hitting the local boot sales, placing newspaper ads in the local press for Star Wars wanted (sure some of you can relate to the hold a collection can take and the aim in making it better)
Anyhow I sold the lot. Never to return. Or so I thought....
Two weeks ago a local Sci Fi and Toy Fair was being held near me. Only went as it was up the road, didnt intend on buying anything.
First thing that struck me were the Storm Troopers parading up and down the queue. Turns out the Rebellegion a group of Star Wars fans who dress up for fundraising for charity were at the Fair. These guys were great! Even had a full size remote controled R2 D2 beeping and wizzing around the stalls.
Then I saw a dealer who had some loose Star Wars for sale so I thought Id take a look to see how prices had changed over the years.
Holey Moley! Either the dealer had them priced very low or I had been paying way over the odds in the past! Not sure if the weapons are repro or not although the guy selling them said he didnt think they were.
Heres just a few I purchased and needless to stay Im back collecting again!
Looking back I passed over some figures including Last 17 as I was being picky on quality. Perhaps I should have bought them too.
This forum is great. Ive been learning about AFA, variations and COOs, things Ive never known about before! Ive already bought a few bits from Ebay aswell as from Lee on here. Aim now is to have a full set of loose figures once again
