| Hello fellow TIG dudes, here is my vintage collection thus far. I only started collecting again last year so I'm quite pleased with my little haul  My main focus at the moment is to complete a loose vintage run. I told myself I wasn't going to buy any carded or baggies etc until I'd completed that run... but as you can see I coudn't resist the Tusken Raider card or the RL C3PO baggie (see how addictive this hobby is!!!!). I also really like my Bradley Ewok watch and the Speeder Bike is so cool with its orig inserts & instructions. Damn I love these toys (again!). The challenge for me is to find very good cond figs with their original weapons/accs. I got stung a couple of times last year but I'm a wiser collector now. Ebay and RS have been my main sources and I also picked up a few items at a recent memorabilia show. Next figure to arrive: Greedo. I already have a blaster waiting for him so it will be nice to reunite the two! Cheers, hope you like  Paul My vintage collection thus far: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]My vintage complete figures: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]My vintage no COO small selection (couple waiting for weapons): [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]My non-vintage stuff: [You must be registered and logged in to see this image.] |

| You wrote...... "I only started collecting again last year so I'm quite pleased with my little haul "......
Here is my opinion .... NEVER IS TOO LATE TO START!!! ...opportunities in this "Hobby" come and go , the difference is to know where to take them .... this forum can help you out with that important decision!! ...
I guess everybody ( or at least almost everybody) started with the loose AF´s, I´m sure you will start very soon with the carded Collection!!!
Good LUCK! |

| Very nice collection there!
That's a great start to a loose set!

| Nice collection. A loose set is the way to start! Just curious, did you buy that carded Tusken as a sealed vintage moc? The cardboard below his feet looks too white and something's going on on the left side of bubble... possibly a recard  |

| Very nice start for your loose collection mate! Its great fun putting one together and I think the longer it takes the better, I have said it a 1000 times before but I am still upgrading and not finished mine (need 3) and its taken 6 years or more LOL Well, its just because I am fussy actually (and cheap!)  |

| thanks Jimmy & Joe, lol the 8D8 does look like he's gained a glass eye He's a bit beat up actually with a couple of chew marks on his head and some red biro marks - I'm keeping him for a while though coz he's still cool. Thanks all for the encouragement! I got my Greedo yesterday and he's in such perfect condition - looking forward to adding updates here in time enjoy the rest of the weekend folks, Paul |
