[QUOTE="Robstyley, post: 371700, member: 6009"] Hello Craig, welcome! I would advise you to definitely do some research before you start buying anything. There are many sources of information on Vintage Star Wars figures (released between 1977 and 1985). Prob best to familiarise yourself with all the figures and what accessories they came with. It's also good to learn about what cards they first came out on and then you will know what you're looking at. Check this out, has some basic information about each figure: http://www.rebelscum.com/VINfigures.asp There is a lot of reproduction accessories and reproduction carded figures for sale all over the place these days, mainly on ebay! Forums and some Facebook groups are good places to buy because you're more likely to find genuine items from people/collectors who know what's what and you'll probably get better prices too. Ebay is ok.. once you know what to look out for. As tempted as you are to go and start buying everything straight away just take your time, see what things are selling for and again, do some research. Good luck with it, it's a great hobby. Also have a look in the showcase section, there's some great collections and you'll be able to see some stuff you've prob not seen before or for a long time! [/QUOTE]
