    Paypal Purgatory

    Has anyone else had their Paypal account limited recently? I have no idea why, having had the account for nearly 20 years, but they're suddenly asking for proof of address and a copy of my passport before I can continue to use it. From reading online, it might be I've gone over some invisible...

    2Stripes' Collection

    Having a bit of downtime now I've a complete set of the first 77 before I crack on with the rest so thought I'd post a couple of shots. Not the sharpest images but it took me long enough to get them to them orientate correctly, so will do for now!

    Alternative sites to The Imperial Gunnery?

    I've used TIG for years to validate my vintage weapons as original but do alternative sites exist? Is TIG still updated? I can see an update from January 2019, but I don't do Facebook so not sure if the community has migrated there? Has there been any significant changes to reproduction...

    Ebay Gripes

    I have many... here are 10 off the top off my head 1- That seller... "Best Repros I've seen" 2 - The phrase "AFA Ready" 2- The phrase "Minty"... particularly when used to describe a dirty figure with obvious paint loss 3- "Star War" ...come on, its nearly half a century old and you still get...

    Nearly completed the first 79..

    I don't get the "last 17"... there were 79 on cardbacks before the last 15 surely.. Anyway... Despite buying and selling on and off for approaching 20 years, I've never had a full collection, but this is happening. I still need the following to complete the first 79.. R2D2 Solid Dome Greedo...

    Luke 77bk UKG 85 - Alternative Gunner Cardback

    Had this a while and been keeping an eye out on eBAY for a good indication of its value but it rarely turns up and when it does its heavily overpriced (like £1.5k) so doesn't sell. UKG Y85 Subs Cardback 85, Bubble 85 Figure 80. Only minor yellowing. Thoughts?

    What are you listening to right now?

    Couldn't see a similar thread or a rule around posting youtube links so thought I'd start a thread to see what the average star wars collector is listening to. Be good to see your recommenations or just what bands you rate, this is what I've had on the record player this evening... VbrfXDFuzu0...

    Drunk Bidding

    I woke up hanging the other day after an ill judged decision to pop to back to the M&S 24hr for one more bottle of wine. About 11 am the next morning with the self loathing already kicking in, I received 3 last minute outbid alerts on some last 17 figures I'd apparently been bidding on the...

    Hoth Stormtrooper - Repro Cape Check

    Since I started collecting again, this is the first accessory that's left me unsure as to its authenticity. Looking at TIG https://www.imperialgunnery.com/vinylcapesskirts.htm its pretty insistent on a cross hatch on one side and a rough texture on the other. In the pictures the one side is...

    Displaying graded items advice

    So I've just moved my graded MOC's to the front room but I'm worried in case the kids knock the book shelf and they come crashing down. Anyone know of any way of securing them a bit more so i'm not constantly worrying about them?

    Frustrated by daft BIN prices

    Wish people would just get real with the buy it now prices, I wonder if they actually want them to sell. You see Klaatu AFA80 going for 120 quid and that's three times what I paid for mine! I buy nearly everything by auction, if sellers got a bit more realistic I'd consider paying a little more...

    MY's ROTJ MOC's 23 of 79

    Since I started collecting again the last 6 months or so, thought I finally had enough to start my own limelight so just took these pictures. Loving the IG-88, Bossk, 2-1B and 4-LOM I picked up in December, added a much needed ESB boost to the collection :p Mostly kenner and mostly 77 backs but...

    I think they're pretty cool and want a couple one day! What do most people think, an interesting side note to the star wars vintage story or overpriced bootleg rubbish? I think the blue stars and headman especially, what price do they fetch loose and could you get them graded? A certified...

    C-3PO on ROTJ??

    This price guide lists a price for a standard c3po on a Rotj card. I thought you could only get the removable limbs on this cardback?? Can anyone clarify? Ta http://www.squidoo.com/vintage-star-wars-toy-price-guide#module149712148
