Who's Who - Introduce yourself!

[Snaketibe]

Hi everyone

New to forum sites so no idea how it all works yet.

As a lifelong Star Wars fan and like others on here i had lots of figures as a kid but over the years have seen them vanish to car boot sales etc, so I've embarked on collecting vintage figures and vehicles again. As i'm on a very modest budget my focus is buying loose figures for as cheap as possible in as good condition as possible, it's simply for my own personal collection and pleasure, so would be happy just to own them again.

I'm hoping this forum will help me make contact with like minded people willing to chat, share opinions, offer info, and in hope it helps me collect as many as possible again, i currently have 16 original figures but i'm looking for any characters as i also intend to make diorama displays from the movies, any help will be greatly received.

Thanks everyone, hope to speak soon.

Welcome to the forum! It's a terrific place to spend time, so stick around and enjoy it

Jeremy

Hi all, just stumbled across the forum whilst looking for a few figures and weapons that I'm missing this evening...

Dug out my childhood collection from my parents loft at the weekend, as a kid I had a full set of complete figures but fast forward 30 odd years and I'm now missing a few bits. I'm guessing a few of mine got mixed up and sold accidentally when my brother sold his collection years ago.

I'm only missing A-Wing Pilot, Lando General, Luke stormtrooper, the rebo band and a staff for Nikto and the saber for my pop up R2, so looking to pick those up then I can get them displayed in a nice case in the man cave.

Best of luck completing your collection, and enjoy the forum

Full disclaimer - I've joined the forum to post an item that I am selling, having read the forum rules, I've popped into this thread to introduce myself before I do.

So here goes - Hi I'm Mark, 46 from South Wales married with 2 kids, no pets, work in procurement in local governemt....Huge fan of the original films, had loads of figures and a Millenium Falcon which my mother gave to a charity shop about 15 years ago when she moved house...just to get rid of the clutter....

If anyone in interested the item is an original Helix Deathstar pencil that I found while clearing my grandfather's house after he passed away. It would be great for it to go to someone who will appreciate it. I'll wait for a moderator to let me know it's OK to post in the for sale section before I do, but feel free to message me on here if you're interested in more detail.

Thanks

Thank you - my wife has listed the sharpener on eBay so I'll post the link in the correct section.

Hi everyone, just thought I'd introduce myself, or at least re introduce myself as there's not many names I recognise anymore. I'm Jim and gave up collecting a few years ago and sold my entire collection, I've recently started collecting again but just loose graded figures. I know this will lead to other things as it inevitably does when that first moc arrives in the post. But at best I would describe myself as a recovering collector.
It's good to be back.
