Is there anyway you can tell if a figure left the factory without the paint applied or if it has been removed at a later date? I picked up this Leia and although it has a lot of paint rub seems to be devoid of any paint on the eyes and eyebrows. I would have thought if it was down to wear there...

I bought this autograph in the early days of eBay, probably 2001/2002, my winning bid was only a few pounds so never thought/cared if it was genuine or not and put it in a cheap frame. I seem to remember the listing was brief and made no statements about being genuine (but I don't think people...

As posting in the general chat I have a number of unpainted micro collection figures for sale, including 2 figures from the unproduced Bacta set. I would say are in good condition for age and being left loose in a bag (but is subjective!). All are now individually bagged but can send close ups...

I picked up a few unpainted Micro Collection figures, although I've got all the production sets (except the Falcon) this is my first time I've bought any unpainted versions I assume there aren't any reproductions of these out there, so how common are they? For the painted versions I only pay...

Bit of a basic question, but wanted to check When doing the dreaded float test (especially with a Gaffi stick), it shouldn't need to be delicately placed on top of the water should it? I know with some parts you need to do this but not as a general rule? And it should return to the top when...

What I got here? I don't think it is a Poontrooper (although the COO is the same variant), as some of the pointers don't match but to me the legs are spread too far apart and his hips are about 2mm wider In addition it is about 3 mm smaller than my other Stormtroopers, the arms 'clunk' every...

Was Star Wars really the top selling toy in the UK in 1977? I think this may be just a bit of lazy research by Argos to induce a bit of nostalgia in time for Christmas (Otherwise I'm sure Star Wars would have been number 1 from 78-83 (I remember the news stories on Cabbage Patch kids so will...

Just bought a laser riffle, with untested electrics. Do you think it's time to replace the batteries?

I'm going to star to focus a bit more on pre 1985 so will start looking to get rid of my 90's Micromachines. It's all pretty much in the attic so if anyone has a particular interest let me know. There are 50+ items, hence the general topic A quick overview, I have many of the figures/ships...

So my dad made me keep all the boxes for the vehicles, unfortunately not the inserts. So although the art works are in good conditions some are a little saggy, and look rougher than they actually are. I guess 35 years in the attic we all may suffer a little I would like to display some of them...

I sold something of low value (£3) last Sunday, he pays late Monday and I post 2nd class lunchtime on Tuesday. This Sunday I get a case opened and refund request due to non delivery. I had to wait 8 days to open a case on someone who never shipped but he can open a case 6 days after he paid...

Having accidently picked up a few Leia Boushh Cardback/Bubble I wondered if anyone had any tips on checking they are authentic? All three are different size/corner shape is this normal? The cardback with the bubble is more of a matt finished compared to the other two These are the first cards...

Trying to declutter some of my stuff and my token effort to try to appease the other half is to get rid of something... I've lost the book but if anyone wants the cassette of the 'Planet of the Hoojibs' it would help my OCD to know it was back paired with a book. Obviously as something as...

I'm looking for a advice, first hopefully is an easy one. What replacement foam do you use on the Chewbacca bandolier? Secondly I've a surplus end cap for a Y-Wing that he previous owner saw fit to try to 'enhance'. It looks like a white gloss paint, black matte and some glue. None of it comes...

I'm not sure if this is a dodgy seller yet, or what rules I have to follow so I won't name the seller (unless it is deemed appropriate) I bought a Star Wars laser rifle (with partial stock) from eBay on the 26th July and paid immediately including first class signed for delivery. Week later it...

I believe I have 2 dark Brown Warok Bows and Lumat is a tad upset. Would anyone be willing to swop/part exchange (not sure if they are equal value?) a dark bow with a light brown one? Or sell me one? Just to note if you are willing to swop I have bought both these bows off eBay and have...

I'm hoping this thread is allowed as I'm aware the force beam isn't an official Star Wars item!! I was wondering if anyone has a 'spare' hilt for The Force Beam? I'm not sure it survived my childhood, but could be tucked away in a box somewhere. As my parents still live in the same house I was...
