Below I have found some old forum quotes relating to this topic. Which do you believe!? [1.In a temperature and light controlled environment a carded figure could last a thousand years]. [2.Cards damage, bubbles yellow. They're also more brittle, chemically they're deteriorating and becoming...

I got chatting about the size of items in another post and thought it would make for a great topic! Think (Falcon/Rebel Transporter/At-At/12" Figures) as examples. Space is always an issue with collections so does this affect demand? When buying figures it doesn't even cross my mind! When...

Hi all. Wanted a second opinion if I may? Won some figures at SW 40th Vectis Auction recently. It has been brought to my attention that their descriptions can be a bit vague? The lot I won said split bubble but when it arrived it was more than just a split with a large hole to top of bubble and...

Fellow Forum Comment:- U Grades are assigned to a process where a vintage item is removed from its packaging to then case it as 'Untouched' or 'Uncirculated'. Only one grading company (AFA) will still do this and will still assign this grade, God only knows why... it is essentially destroying a...

Is there a 'term' used for the new breed of Snobby High End Collectors who pay way over the odds for vintage and seem to be pushing up the prices into the stratosphere then bragging about how much they paid!? If not, can we invent one please? Any suggestions please? I'll start us off with...

Hi all. Just thought I'd share this holiday memory with you. Was walking through a suburb of LA whilst touring the West Coast and stumbled across this amazing converted car in a SW superfan's driveway! :lol:

Hi all. I see lots of you have noticed the ludicrous starting bids of some auctions and the huge buy it now prices. I thought it might be a good idea to try and find the most outrageous greedy Ebayer on one single SW item just for a laugh!? :lol:

Hi all. Hoping lots of forum friends enjoyed the recent auction lots. Does anyone else have that anticipation of excitement while waiting for their Star Wars Vectis Auction win to be delivered? It's like that 'kid before Christmas' waiting game feeling! :lol:

Hi all, I need to log all my collection for my records and incase I need to know any fine details in the future. I'd like to have it in a spreadsheet format but maybe with item links to photos? Think this would be easier for computer memory. I know there are a host of websites for uploading...

Just wondered if anyone else knew why a vintage carded figure can have variants on the hole punch? I wondered if it was a COO issue or depending which toy manufacturer actually made them/different machines? See photos of FX-7 ESB as an example. All input welcomed cheers

Hi all. Here's a thought, if a factory sealed box containing vintage SW items were to cross your collecting path would you be tempted to open it out of curiosity or worry that this could devalue the collective value of the items? I can understand a factory sealed SW item from 1977 that has never...

Hi all. Please forgive my ignorance but I'm new to the SW forum universe! Can anyone let me know the definition of certain lingos being used within the community? ie. Beater Bump etc Any translations of other commonly used words will be appreciated. cheers, Phil.

This guy takes repro to a new level. The scum and villainy candidate must have half of china's sweatshops under his command! Repro/Recarded - you name it, how many sir? WHAT A TWAT!!!

Hi all. I was gutted I didn't make the 'NEC Toy Collectors Fair' on Sunday. I booked hotel and had to cancel the whole trip :( To make me feel a little bit better and give me 'A New Hope' for next time did any of you guys/gals go to it and if so get any great finds/bargains!? Photos appreciated

:D

Hey all. Sorry about title on this post 'its wrong name I know!'. Been to this Toy Collectors Fair NEC event once before. I would like to buy something with some value this time - a respected piece :) Has anyone got any good advice on whether to go Sat or Sun. I worry that on Sun I will only...

Stumbled across this today. Ebayer palming off vintage Landspeeder as 'Everything Working' but no mention of all those missing parts - how convenient! Ebay - you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy!! :D

Always up for a bargain so I will share everytime I find some for the 'Modern Star Wars Collector!' Star Wars Hero Mashers for £4.99 and larger ones were £6.99. Plenty of characters to choose from. They also had some 2X 6" Rogue One Figures in box but no price - guaranteed to be a good price...

Hi all. Call me paranoid but I spotted these on ebay today and wondered if any of you guys think they look genuine or not? I think lettering print looks good but think plastic looks thicker than library pictures and brand new? Please advise. Phil.

Hi. Need to know if anyone knows what these could be? They are apparently made of metal lead. Prototypes or just personal mockups maybe? Seems strange as never seen these before. Any advice welcomed. Thanks in advance.
