2017 Collecting Goals, hopes and dreams

Starting to struggle with some of the pieces im looking for so heres a mix:

01: Trilogo Leia Hoth
02: Trilogo Imperial Gunner
03: ROTJ FX-7
04: ROTJ 2 Pack
05: 65 back TFP Proof
06: Cliro Soap Display
07: Kenner Anakin Mailer
08: HCF Displays

Theres tons of stuff.......could probably do a top 40.

Good luck everyone.

I hope to add a mint unused but opened Kenner Death Star to my collection and hope to find one or both of the mini rigs I still need to finish my Kenner and European mini rig run (that would be an MLC-3 ESB kenner second wave and or a PDT-8 ESB rebate offer for those interested).

My dream is grabbing one of the Trilogo Play packs. 8)

In terms of acquisitions I would really like to get my mitts on a 30B AT-AT Driver...

But the thing I'd like most is to be able to find some way of displaying my stuff; most of it is still in the loft and I just don't get to see it as much as I'd like. That said, I've got a first 12 display on its way to me now and I am absolutely bursting to get my childhood figures on that - just can not wait!

1. Don't spend too much money
2. Add one Poch Hoth Moc (probably breaking rule nr.1)
3. Meet up with other collectors.

Had a major change in my living situation over the past year and had to sell the small amount of MOC's I owned which means I'm starting all over again this year with a very limited amount of space. With that in mind this is my hopes for this year...

1. Loose first 12 run (10 to go)
2. As many loose Imperial troopers/pilots etc as possible
3. Tie Fighter Pilot MOC

I think that will have to be it with the tiny amount of space I have at the moment.

Ticket to Orlando?

A simple list for me

1. Han Hoth offerless 48 back (fingers crossed this is currently on its way to Iain's house)
2. A Palitoy die cast X-Wing MOC
3. A longtime grail that is tantalisingly close and I dont want to Jinx it :mrgreen:

Otherwise I dont plan to add too much this year, but some pre-prod die cast would be nice.

2016 was another great year collecting wise. Added pieces I really treasure.

2017 will start with:

1) Selling almost all my MOCs

Which will be followed later in the year by:

2) Buying back almost all my MOCs

3) A loose VCJ for £750 or less.

If I can do that and achieve some good selling prices and even better buying prices I will be one happy, happy bunny

I'm going to try and up my game this year and finish some runs so:

1. Trilogo imperial gunner (nudge nudge Simon if you're selling up!)

2. Try and complete the micro collection playsets. If I can't score the death star ones ill be happy with hoth and bespin.

3. Finish building my collection room. This is a bit of a cheat as I should be done in a week or so.

4. Thin out the collection once I've got it all out of storage with a stall at FF.

We are soon in 2017 and it could be cool to read what goals, dreams and hopes we all have in 2017 about vintage star wars. Maybe some of us can help each other with some of our goals

Click to expand...

My goals, hopes and dreams for 2017 is

1. To find a true gem out there in the wilderness: Carboot Sale, Charity Shop, Local Sales etc

2. To finally find a photo of me with a Star Wars item as a kid

3. To continue to improve my limited knowledge

4. To continue to contribute to this forum in some shape or other

5. To continue to have fun at the collecting socials, FF and celebration.

6. To add a really cool item to my LXW focus

7. To continue to be on the podcast

8. To bring on and encourage new collectors

9. To continue to get a kick out of showing any house guests my collection (whats left of it)

10. To discourage U grading

My goals, in no particular order:

1. Add more MOCs to my one of each figure collection. Getting close to just being the expensive ones though so might not add as mamy as I'd like.

2. Boxed Darth Vader TIE Fightet

3. Imoerial Sniper mini rig

4. Security Scout mini rig

5. Complete set of one cardback per figure

Well I was gonna start collecting baggies but thats gone out the window.

1. A nice complete Tusken Raider

2. A decent R2D2 Star Wars 21 card back

My Hopes and goals for 2017 are...

1 - Take part on this forum more and to be more social in this hobby.
2 - Work on rebuilding the Bossk Focus.
3 - Work on finishing my loose run.
4 - Not bankrupting myself in the quest to do the above.

Overall just enjoy what I have. With prices being so high maybe I'll get a couple of Jabba's goons Or Ewok Mocs. I recon there's still some loose goodies out there at Bootsales, etc! Hope so anyway! Hopefully get a couple of Farthest Froms under my belt too.
