fav piece

just been reading about edds afa buy and you all going on about it not being the price that matters(how true)
so whats every ones fav piece of their collection
mine wouldhave to be my brown snake yoda,i got it for Ã'£8 its not my overall fav figure its just one i never managed to be able to get as a kid, so it makes it that little bit special to finally have one after all these years

Tricky one. i like different pieces for different reasons.

i've got all my old stuff from when I was a kid so that has high sentimental value.

I like my palitoy 12 back luke, coz he was the first figure my mum ever bought me.


I love my shuttle, i'd wanted one for ages as a kid and finally got one when i was about 28.

Just before Christmas. Fantastic feeling.


i can also rememer getting a second loose one for Ã'£35 and giggling all the way home with it.

At the minute it is probably my loose AFA 90 Han Solo large head as they are tough to find. 8)

If I had to get rid of my loose collection I would keep my orange snake yoda - my first ever ebay buy - and my vc jawa.

When I first started collecting I bought from car boots and flea markets. I'd heard of dealers selling vc jawas for Ã'£400, and I thought I would never own one. Then came the internet!

mine would have to be my falcon!

I love it!

I remember loving it as a kid, and its with the same box that I had as a kid too!

as anyone who saw my pic on the members pics thread can see! I have always loved the falcon!

Ã'£400? Really?

I can remember when i first hit a show in 1999 they were going for Ã'£250 and I thought, 'there's no way on earth i'm spending that much on one figure'

Oh how things change.

palitoy death star or potf ben kenobi

anyone knows any flea markets that have popular stalls selling star wars figures? or are all flea markets just random?

Ã'£400 was back in 1993 - I had a toy magazine with prices in dollars, so that was probably top price.

If they were down to Ã'£250 in 1999 and now are about Ã'£100 you should be able to pick one up for Ã'£10 in 10 years time :wink:

In 20 years time, they'll be paying us to take them 8)
