Hi all. I started collecting seriously about four years ago after harbouring the desire to do so for about 10 years before that (Thought about it a lot, just never got around to getting started, too busy with work, having a kid etc.). Anyway, when I first started up I knew there would be...

My recent ebay watches: Biker Scout - sold for £63 Bib fortuna - sold for £34 I am putting collecting on hold until this artificially inflated bubble we are in goes pop (if indeed it ever does).

I wouldn't say that Diamond, you started because you wanted to collect the figures, same as everyone on here. But you too have noticed that the prices are crazy, it's a real shame that people who just want to collect for the love of the hobby/ childhood reasons now seem to be seriously priced...

It certainly has as far as prices are concerned, I just had my eye on a minty Biker Scout on fleabay Ended up selling for £63!...£63!...For a Biker Scout. I mean, they are a great figure, and I really want to add a minty one to my collection, but not at £63! and it was not even a Ledy or short...

If prices keep going up like they are doing, I may need to reconsider finishing my mint loose run at all!

Yeah I am. I haven't bought anything this year, I got up to about 42 or so out of a mint loose run and ran out of steam mid 2019. I fully intend to pick it up again at some point, but prices just seem to be climbing all the time. In particular the last 17 are going crazy, they will definitely...

Falcon and Luke Bespin. Never got a Falcon, because that was a bigger "Birthday" or "Christmas" list item according to my parents, still never got one though (even though it went on the list about 10 times). Could never find a Luke Bespin for some reason. I hunted high and low for ages in toy...

I was really stoked for these when I first saw the U.S. versions. I was on the fence as to whether I should cancel the order when I saw the European versions, I now know I made the right choice by cancelling, they look hideous. I just don't understand why they would run a MOC retro line, and...

Where did you see these? All the U.K. ones I have seen are pre-order for August (Forbidden planet even says September 12th, maybe they know something no-one else does?).

I thought the Ep1 figures were good, I bought a few myself, never with the intention of them increasing in value though. I opened all of them, my son has them now :D

That is good to know. I thought about cancelling, but I am going to leave my pre-order on and just see what turns up, I really hope they don't have the paper inside though. If they do, and I hate it enough not to keep them, I can probably move them on for the same as I paid, or a little less.

People buy them up hoping they will be worth something later, some are limited releases so they think they can ask whatever they like for them once they have gone out of regular circulation. People are already trying to scalp on eBay with the new retro-line figures. Unfortunately there are some...

Maybe Hasbro don't have a choice as you say. But I find it really disappointing, I was going to collect these and keep them carded as I am doing a loose run of vintage, and these would have been nice to collect alongside that. I don't mind the sticker, but the paper really spoils it to the...

It's weird. Almost like Hasbro don't know who to aim these at in our market, surely they must know that collectors don't want that monstrosity behind the figure?. If they are aiming at kids who will open and play with them then I think that is a misfire. If they are aiming at 40-something...

Just found some more info which shows an image of the European versions. I believe the image came from Germany. Does anyone know if the U.K. versions will be like this? because I think I may cancel my pre-order if they are. I am not keen on the retro-sticker, but I can live with it because I...

Oh that is sad news. Always seemed like such a down to earth and friendly chap when you saw him interviewed. I also understand that he had a lot of time for the fans too. Leaves behind the legacy of being one half of the greatest "scoundrel" duo of all time, ain't no partnership better than...

The first 6 have not released in the USA yet, I think they come out there in the next week or two, and pre-order was a Target exclusive. The Tarkin figure and game is out in USA now, someone has posted images of it on Imperial Gunnery. Keep an eye out on there and Rebelscum over the next few...

Leia for me! I don't know why, but I cannot stand the DSC figure. I think it is the helmet! When my wife saw him in my first 12 she said "who the hell is that? they should have had Greedo in his place". I think I agree!

Things have definitely slowed down in the past month or two. Not many sales going on in the forums, and the pickings on ebay ain't that good either. I have been keeping my eye out for a few of Jabba's goons etc (the cheap end of the market) and there are not even too many of them to go at...

Great story! It makes you wonder what else is still out there, stuffed away in lofts/ cellars etc and forgotten about.
