Been on here for about a month. Mostly been researching the threads. There is some awesome info on here. Great to be here!

My first ever sw experience was this picture:





it was an appendix for a PIF back in 1981, saw it months before the movies, didnt know what kind of playthings are they, but I loved them for the first look. And after I saw the movie... Arrgggllll, Those were the hard times for me here in Hungary, where you werent able to bought those kind of playthings.
i'm desperate to have this poster again!

again. Hope you enjoy your time here and don't be shy in limelighting what you have. We all love to see new collections as they grow.

I am English but I moved to Romania a couple of years ago Nice to have you here, living on the border I hear Hungarian spoken quite a lot (alas I can't speak it, only recognise the insults!!)

Hi all, I'm new to the site and only been collecting for about 3 months now but loving it. I've had some help on the starwars forum of Burnsy and aussiejames, with some i.d's and they also put me on to this site which I've learned a lot from going through some threads, thought it only fair that I make a bit of an effort and introduce myself.

Age: 32
Single/Married: In Relationship
Residence:Wales, uk
Occupation: Teenagers in care
Kids: None
Pets: The missis
Collecting Focus: Vintage Starwars Loose figures

Hi Scott, welcome to TIG! Great bunch of lads here always willing to help out. Enjoy your stay here

Hi guys, new to the site so here's the intro...

Name: Phil
Age: 36
Single/Married: Engaged
Residence: Uk
Occupation: Engineer
Kids: 1 son, 1 daughter, 2 step kids (boy & girl)
Pets: Marine fish
Collecting Focus: I mainly collect loose vintage, buying a couple of old ships at a car boot to rebuild got me into collecting. I have several ships/vehicles that I want to save from the scrap heap to put in my collection, I'm not a super mint buyer, I enjoy spending some time cleaning up and rebuilding stuff.
Character Focus: I have a mini Imperial Gunner focus, although I don't own the more expensive vintage items yet.

Scott and Phil

Wellcome to TIG . Hope you enjoy your stay

Welcome Scott & Phil!

Greetings all, I'm a newbie here, only came across this site the yesterday......and it's absolutely brilliant, had to join up!!! not only is it a great site it's made me reconsider a very tough choice i made to sell off my collection (nothing too special other than it's mine and i love it lol - old sentimental git that i am lol) anyways , reading through the site i just knew i'd have to find other ways of making ends meet so for now i'm remaining a "guy with his toys from yesteryear"



Name: Glen
Age: 38
Single/Married: Seperated
Residence:Dublin
Occupation: Recently redundant
Kids: two
Pets: see above lol ....no , no pets
Collecting Focus: n/a
Character Focus: n/a

Collecting interest: Vintage (sorry i'm new to all the expert stuff)


Looking For : A job right now,new place of residence , money!!!

Hey Glen, ones own childhood collection is the most special. I'm sure many people would trade off their adult collections for their original one because money or love can't replace it. Good luck with the new job, home & finding a money tree

Hey, thanks James, i've gathered a few other loose figures n that along the way but too my horror when i returned home from working abroad a few years ago i was told during an attic clear up my dear old mum gave some boxes of "glens old toys" to my cousin for her young boys!!! ...... she thuoght "i'd forgotten about them as it had been years since they went up there" ...... can you imagine the gut wrenching sick feeling? .... to quote Anakin @ mustafar "You took them from me, I hate you" ......i've since felt my balance disturbed with feelings swaying toward the dark side!!!

Anyway, thanks for the welcome .....quick question....How do i upload pictures?

Welcome Glen

I was about to sell of my own childhood colletion , But these guys and site made me keep it. So sell of some of the other stuff you have stufed away and save your SW. Or maby a thrim of your collection might give you some money and a focus.

It helped me out

Good look on finding a new job mate

Ps. When you make a new post . On the top of the side number 10 from your right . Is a picture icon. Use that or number 9 to post pictures. Or use Photobucket.com
