I have a collection of loose vintage figures and was very happy with them just upgrading from time to time when a better figure came in. Then whilst I'm selling at a toy fair a guy starts going through my loose vintage figs looking for variants- I didnt realise there are so many so now I have to spend more time checking them, I have hoth rebels with different arm moulds snowtroopers with different breast plates etc and now they wont fit in one box!

That's a bit of an understatement isn't it?

Nice of you to stop by Mr. Tree....

Nah, it's not huge by some standards.

Nice to drop by, been taking a backseat for a few months.

I have a load of loose vintage from my childhood days but these are in pretty poor condition, they have a great deal of sentimental value though!

I have been slowly (VERY slowly!) been collecting carded figures on ROTJ cards over the last 10 years or so and I have around 40 at the moment.

Its pretty tricky as I like to keep up with all the modern stuff aswell and this tends to eat into my income pretty heavily!

I sold my childhood star wars figures a few years back, before I got interested in collecting star wars toys. DOH!

Iv'e now got 67 afa 80 or better graded carded figure's. Some iv'e bought from brians toys but most off of ebay. I have another 7 or possibly 8 carded figure's i want to send for gradeing but i'll hang on till i get a few more and get a small bulk discount lol

I currently have 22 potf graded figure's then about 30 rotj and the rest are esb apart from a 12 back han small head.

I also have other carded figure's in the acrylic AFA caseing that failed in gradeing.

With my loose collection i'd like to complete an AFA graded loose collection and again iv'e started with the potf. What i don't like is that AFA grade the coins sepretly ( if you want a coin and figure graded togeather it costs extra ) Also AFA wouldn't put the autographs i have in with the figure's.

In the future i'll be selling all my ships as i feel they take up to much space and i'd like to concerntrate more on my carded collection.

I'm sorry i should say this is not my collection. Everything iv'e collected is for my 2 daughters when they leave school. They can either keep this collection or sell it but if they sell it then the money has to be spent on either a car or a downpayment on there home.

Size matters not. Judge me by my size, do you?

In time you will call me master.
