Hi
Total newbie and if this is already a thing please somebody direct me to it. Getting older I have hit a point where I'm feeling all nostalgic about my youth, especially my old toys. Star Wars was my world growing up. Living through the films followed by the launch of the toys was just magical. I remember all the Christmas mornings putting the ships together and adding the decals with my dad. Sadly both my Dad and my old toys are no longer so I am trying to rebuild some of my collection. I have til now been buying off Ebay but I'm sick of getting poor quality figures and repro weapons and accessories. Almost all sellers now list as floor tested but may not be original. Some look good copies and others are clearly tat. But finding authentic figures is hard. So I have just joined this site in the hope of learning a few things and possibly buying a few figures from other genuine collectors at a reasonable price. Prices on Ebay are bonkers at times and there is still little guarantee as to authenticity.
