I haven't posted in a long time (last time I was wondering about the value of my collection from the 70s/80s). Since then I've passed it on to my 5yr old who is now obsessed with them! It's also nice to see how respectfully he plays with them (like all his toys), so they're not getting senselessly bashed around.
I've actually decided to go back to collecting and pick up some of the ships and playstations I had as a child but sold on as a teenager. Things like the snow speeder, etc (I regret selling my Cantina playset and droid factory, but not looking to replace).
I wanted to ask for some advice people here on tips for the best way to collect figures and ships from the vintage range. Is Ebay the best place? Car boot sales? If Ebay, besides the obvious (checking for moving parts, sticker damage, etc.) any other good tips to ensure I don't overpay for items and that I find good quality stuff?
Any advice appreciated!
