Hello!

Hi all,
Stumbled across this website whilst viewing a few items on ebay and one person on here had the link in their Signature.

Just thought i would introduce myself, my names Kris and im from the West Midlands aged 25. Ive been a Star Wars fan ever since the day i got home with my mom to find my living room full of Star Wars goodies (i.e At-At was the most impressive for me at the tender age of 5(i think).

Recently ive started collecting carded figures and so far got these(not many and as impressive i know).

20-back-A Cewbacca AFA 85
12-back-A Princess Leia AFA 80
12-back-C Luke Skywalker AFA 75
21-back-? R5-D4 Non-AFA c8 x2
20-back-? Stormtrooper Non-AFA c9
21-back-? Luke Skywalker X-wing Non-AFA c7.5
21-back-B Hammerhead AFA 80
12-back-? Han Solo (Small Head)Non-AFA c8.5/9

Im currently just trying to get the first films full 21 carded figures and not concentrate really on one individual set. I recently won a boba fett listed as genuine original for Ã'£200 but when i received it i noticed it was fake and he listed the item a genuine original from his collection. Ive got a dispute raised at the moment on him but he isn't responding!

Also im happy to have in my collection VC Jawa and Blue Snaggletooth AFA 85 and various MISB vehicles.

I have a long way to go and just realising the cost !! but its certainly worth it. Thanks all for your time and look forward to my stay here.

P.S if anybody has any original genuine carded figures AFA or non AFA for sale then please PM me, thanks.
Kindest Regards,
Kris

Welcome to the site.

I may have a few carded figures spare somewhere.

I'll have a little look.

Hi Kris

So who was the seller of the fake Boba? :wink:

mathewh8596(15) is his ebay id, the photo he used was also different to what i received and he used a fake name franklin_(0) to up his bids. I noticed he also listed a POTF Nikto, Yak Face & Anakin Skywalker!

He promised a full refund but that was last friday and havent a thing since, paypal are on the case but i dont think i'll get nout back

You probably should have waited before giving him that negative feedback!! :lol: :wink:

I gave him from last Tuesday till Sunday to refund my money and he said he would do this on the Friday and since then haven't heard from him so left feedback this morning!! He had plenty of time and changed his story also once i notified him that it was indeed fake. Hes a fraud.

Hiya Jukesy, I cant help you out with any figures but I am also from the West Midlands and its nice to have a fellow Midlander on here!

Welcome Kris

Sorry to hear about the Boba, I have had a few Paypal complaints gone through ok so I hope yours does.

You have a nice collection there already mate :lol:

hi kris, welcome to the forum 8)

sorry to hear about your fake, i had a similar experience recently but luckily got a full refund. even a "pro" can get fooled on ebay

i have a few afa and non graded moc's on ebay at the moment, always happy to do a deal outside of ebay for forum members

welcome Kris - report the guy for shilling (upping the bids) he'll get banned

Thanks all for your kind warm welcomes, i already feel at home.

The seller still hasn't responded to paypals email and i don't think he will, i also warned another ebay winner (from the uk)for his Nikto auction and he was told that the nikto pictures were taken from another well known site. Luckily for him i managed to catch him in time and he will be ringing Ebay America.

Thanks edd, i will look at your items a little later when im not at work (oops)

Thanks again all.

Kris

Kris from the west midlands, im Kris from the east midlands, youre not my evil twin are you :twisted:

and I am Chris from the West Midlands, perhaps I am your long lost cousin???

Hi Kris,

Welcome aboard mate :wink:

Hi there Kris,

Sounds like a nice collection you are building. I noticed you were unclear on some of the cardbacks for your collection - I have found this book to be invaluble (for American cardbacks anyway): -

http://www.frontbackbooks.com/

Amazon in the UK sell it for Ã'£20 and its worth every penny:-

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Star-Wars-Vintage-Action-Figures/dp/1903111307/sr=11-1/qid=1163526717/ref=sr_11_1/203-8444442-7466367

And no I am not related to the author!
