[QUOTE="x-pack, post: 447419, member: 4360"] Here, Facebook, Ebay. Over the past few years the market place has expanded massively, but so has the cost. By far the best place to pick up vintage Star Wars would be the shows - Farthest From, Echo Base, NEC toy fair, etc etc. Top tips - watch out for reproduction crap. On eBay half the carded figures listed seem to be repro's. They are usually described as such. Avoid as they are bad news to the hobby. Repro weapons are rife. People seem to rely on the so called 'float test'. You'll see weapons listed with 'passes float test'. My experience is that the float test alone is not fool proof, and with the price of weapons often being in excess of the figure itself, be wary! Read the description on listings! Speaks for itself. Good luck [/QUOTE]
