[QUOTE="TheJabbaWookie, post: 533491, member: 9217"] I have a bad back. At the beginning of 2017 I had to give up full time work as a graphic designer and work sporadically as a freelance designer today. As a result I have a very limited budget for Star Wars. Fortunately my wife is able to pay the household bills, sees the work I put in to bring up our little girl and is very understanding about my Star Wars collecting seeing the benefits it brings to my mental health when I’m stuck at home dealing with the pain and boredom. Funnily enough rather than giving up and selling my collection it spurred me on to build my collection on a budget. One of my favourite things about Star Wars collecting now is researching each of the figures, identifying hard to find variants and through the knowledge gained, picking them up under the radar or on a budget. Also ensuring that I have the correct accessory to match the exact factory that the figure was produced in. This process keeps me very engaged even if my collection is not growing particularly fast. If variant collecting does interest you there are so many available Kenner variants out there at a relatively cheap cost. You don’t have to go for the expensive foreign lines like PBP or Lili Ledy to have fun. You can collect different paint apps like Snaketibe or like me different factory moulds. As for interesting focus figure variants to collect on a budget. Lando Calrissian is an interesting figure. There are 3 factories (Smile, Kader, Unitoy). Each factory produced a no smile and smiling variant. Kader also produced a Made in China variant. All of those are relatively easy to find at a reasonable price. There are also some more harder to find variants to aim for including the PBP variants and Poch black neck. Other characters include Han Hoth and Rebel Soldier Which have plenty of Kenner variants as well as some cool variants like Han Hoth (moulded legs, PBP pink and pale face, and Poch chocolate legs) and dark brown rebel Soldier. The best thing is to find a figure you really like and start researching it to find out how much is might cost to go after the pieces. Also if there are beyond the toys items that you like the look of. For example there are many cool pieces that have both C-3PO and R2-D2 on together and thus can make for a really interesting focus.
