    Hunch Back Cloud Car Pilot

    Wow that is weird. Often the limbs on figures seem to be made from a different type of plastic to the torso so perhaps it's possible that it was exposed to heat which was just high enough to warp the torso but not the limbs. No idea if this is possible but just a suggestion

    Has the world gone mad!?

    what I don't get is where all these people who do support U grading are? I guess they don't speak out on forums because they know they'd get grief. Grading of any kind isn't for me although I do understand why it's appealing for delicate things like proof cards but I would like to hear the...

    B-Wing Fighter sound repair

    I've not repaired a B-wing yet but done most of the other vehicles. They all have the same kind of motor and as mentioned above if you hold the power on and turn it by hand it will almost always come back to life. One further suggestion I'd have is to add a small squirt of WD40 or similar...

    Packing up these Mocs and had to laugh:)

    Don't send it! In 35 years time when vintage nappies for men has become the next collecting craze that box will be worth a fortune Just be careful if anyone offers you anything which shows signs of yellowing

    Vintage SW is still affordable - £50 or less MOCs latest acquisitions

    Thanks Joe, like I say I'm pretty sure I could be taken in by a re-seal as I don't have much experience of MOCs so great to hear they look OK to an experienced member like yourself.

    Vintage SW is still affordable - £50 or less MOCs latest acquisitions

    I've been reading this thread with envy since it started as I've got a pretty slender budget for my collection, then I happened to look on eBay just at this 79 back Han Trench was listed for £17 incl p&p. Couldn't believe my eyes so I snapped it up as quick as I could. When it arrived I asked...

    $18k for a loosie

    Still 6 days to go! Crazy theres a 30 day return policy with full refund, perhaps the winner will return it after 29 days having decided to buy a Rolex for each day of the week instead

    fb finds

    So I guess that even if there is a warehouse to sort valuable things it still relies on the people in the store to decide what to send there. "Toys" will almost certainly not be perceived to be valuable unless they really know their stuff so it's quite likely that any vintage stuff that was...

    Your worst pass-up

    As someone who only started collecting about a year ago i passed up on pretty much everything by not even being at the party and every time I read about someone picking up a bargain or even paying the going rate for something 10 years ago I kick myself Having said this I think the thrill of the...
