Vintage Star Wars Collecting Forum - starwarsforum.co.uk

Is there a section that has rough up to date prices collated from various auction sites that can be used as price guides? You may like to check out www.starwarstracker.com. It essentially does exactly what you asked but is available in an app for your phone or desktop PC. It is a paid service, but ...

I put this question out to my subscribers, and also a FB discussion this week. Overwhelmingly people have responded to say the market has shot up everywhere. And not just vintage star wars - other collectible domains too. So it seems that lock-down has been a bit of a catalyst for people to pick up ...

I had a similar discussion recently about this recently. In general, it's quite variable, with various elements to a pecking order that effects prices: * Overall price is determined by popularity of figure - this basically follows the market for loose figures. Eg, AFA80 Luke Farmboy will always be m...

I've noticed in general prices seem to have crept up the last few lockdown months. If others are like me, then it's actually been a good few months to save money by virtue of not really being able to spend like previous (no trips to pubs, no dinners out, no movies, not spending £10 a day for lunch/c...

The next version of Star Wars Tracker (www.starwarstracker.com) is going to be including functionality to have a go at answering these questions. Since I now have 5+ years of good quality data, it's possible to make connections and rank all the sales against each other. Not only prices being paid, b...

I believe the main issue with accepting that repro company donation was soley because of the pledge level they bought. It was the executive producer level which meant they would have their repro company logo prominently displayed on the back cover. This would of course buy them good promotion of the...

damn ive only used tracker on mobile the desktop version looks awesome

Well worth installing on a PC/Mac if you are able. Both versions mobile/desktop have their strengths.

Simply fascinating interview this episode. Being an Aussie myself this filled in a lot of *gaps* in my knowledge of how things were working behind the scenes back in the day. I had heard legends of these show bags with carded figures but they stopped doing them a year or two before I would have been...

Toy Empire - 9PM BBC4 Monday 16th December

Excellent - look forward to that one

Surely this one is no contest

I started to go down the route of "variant" collecting, but when on display I really couldn't see the point of having multiple figures where the C.O.O is different. I can't *see* that difference on display, so I decided to put the brakes on it. As others have said, if it's a visual differe...

Hi,

I've just sent you a pm here on the forum.

Thanks, Jared.

It doesn't strike me as a particularly rare MOC to get. Perhaps it's just a dry patch, or sales are just passing you by somehow.

Thanks for sharing, great story. Very cool Yoda!

Good luck telling them from vintage originals in bulk lots on eBay (once people open them and play with them - that still happens right?!?). I can forsee a lot of after sale "back and forth" issues to sort out misunderstandings and just plain old misleading listings. Really wish this retro...
