[QUOTE="MightyMike, post: 494916, member: 10406"] As a fairly new collector, the other half allowed me to finish off my loose collection a couple of years ago (I was 60% there with my childhood collection), I initially started by keeping to a budget but when I started to see the floating repro's starting to come out I must admit I panicked bought the last few just to try to minimise the potential risk and probably spent more. It did take the fun out of it a bit at that time I've always had a budget for everything I do, and like most people here like to think their kids aren't missing out (my 4 yo has even has a pension scheme ffs). I generally limit myself to a monthly budget for clothes, going out and then spend the rest on Star Wars, the money would always get spent on something so I think SW is as legitimate as anything else. I've been able to self fund over the last few months by selling stuff I have bought and put in the attic for a later date. After one Vintage Rebellion Podcast which mentioned a complete loose run would be £3000-3500 I asked the other how much she thought mine was - Her estimate was £300-400, if I die suddenly I suggest people travel to Cardiff quickly, you may just pick up a bargain!
