Welcome aboard Perra, and enjoy your stay here.

I like to see your C-3PO focus collection one day in our limelight section.

Cheers

Welcome Perra. Look forward to seeing the Threepio's!!

Hullo all,
to give some vague details - i'm irish, i make movies, i'm into a wide variety of artists and entertainments (current favourites include burzum, primo levi, spielberg, tarkovsky), and, guess what, - i'm a little bit ocd!

anyway i recently broke out all my old star wars gear for display and decided it was time to nab those pieces i never got hold of back in the day,
the thing is i haven't looked into any of this stuff for years and years and i was kind of stunned by the amount of activity and variety on e-bay,
so the main reason i'm joining the forums here is for advice and help,

i won an auction for a loose at-at with working chin guns earlier today but then noticed the seller was also selling a 2010 dewback as a 1977-89 model, and got a bit freaked. i looked at some pics of new at-ats against old ones and it looks genuine to me, but what do I know?
there's a loose tie interceptor coming up shortly too, but how do i tell when it's actually from?

any tips would be greatly appreciated,
cheers

Welcome aboard Perra and asbojawa.

asbojawa, good to see someone else likes Burzum. My fav has to be Aske.

aboard Asbojawa!


Just post any questions you like to ask and I am sure other members will chime in to help you.

Thanks guys for your warm welcome

thanks y'all

Chris J, Aske is a classic but Fallen blew my socks off, pumped for the next one

I havent got the last two in yet. I'll be on the hunt for them.

hi everyone im Sam returning to the hobby after many many years. I've been reading these forums for some time but just recently joined. Thanks for having me!!

Welcome to TIG Sam. Hopefully some of us will have the answer to any questions you might have on your new journey into vintage. Looking forward to seeing your collection grow

Hi Sam welcome to TIG.

It must feel great to start collecting again!

My name is Attila, aka Hutt Hunter (who is NOT a Hutt bounty hunter, BUT a hunter who hunts Hutts! ). I am from Hungary, a small country far-far away... from the USA, but a modest member of the EU since May 2004.

Anyway, Dr Dengar, the Lili Ledy thread editor and specialist has found my blog - http://swvintagevariants.blogspot.com/ - and seemed to like it, cause he Forced me to join the Dark Side of Collecting here...

I still have a lot to learn about LL variations. So I am gonna read the fellow collectors' posts very carefully... I BTW specialize on collecting Vintage Star Wars figure Variants, all kinds, but especially those that differ significantly from one another!
I have approx. 300 variants right now (incl. Taiwan, HK, NO COO, PBP, LILI LEDY, Macau).

I hope to gather useful information here, and have fun, and maybe other Vintage Geeks :bikerscout: can learn something from me, too.

So: HI Everybody!

aboard Attila.

After seeing your blog yesterday, I was convinced you would feel like a fish in the water here at TIG.

So I am happy to see that you decided to make your first post here.

I hope many more will follow, as I am sure we can learn a lot from you and the other way around. In a typical relaxed and fun TIG way.

Together with Skywalkerhu, I think you are our second member from Magyar (Hungary). I hope more will follow.

Enjoy your stay, have fun!!!

Yes, Attila is a friend of mine. Tons of his figures are from my collection.
Thats why I feel sometimes his collection is mine as well. A little bit.

Atti, I'm glad to see you here!

Welcome Atilla the Hutt.

INDEED. Skywalker Hu (The Magyar Skywalker) was/is a pretty good source of pretty good figures and their variants. Tribute to you!

Thank you, Admiral.

Welcome Attila, great to have you aboard.

Welcome to TIG Ian, Perra, AsboJawa, Sam and Attila!

My names name's Mike and the "vintage" refers to my love and 70's/80's toys and comics. Star Wars a huge part of my childhood and in the early nineties I took my first stab at collecting MOC's. It didn't last long due to me being in my early twenties and there really wasn't money to go around for collecting and I was.. well..living the life of someone on their early twenties. I re-started in 2004 but after about a year realized my level of income could not keep up with staying active in the hobby. The good news was it was enough to keep from having to sell anything I had purchased. Fast forward to today when I now make a decent living and the light bulb finally went off: i can return to Star Wars collecting with no issues. I've been upgrading and getting new pieces for the last month or so and am having a blast!

Wow , I seem to have missed quite a few members joining up . to you all.

Welcome to all the new members. That is the good thing about vintage collecting.. you can have a break and return to it at any time and their haven't been 3 kazillion waves of figures released that you need to catch up on LOL!

It is a great bunch of friendly ppl here

A big to you Mike. I think we've all been there at one point in time, no enough cash for the collection. Good to see you back in it.

Welcome Mike. Have a great time m8!
