Vintage Collectibles Thread

[Deak Starkiller]

Man I wish you guys lived in AZ, Ron the owner of Toy Anxiety is a HUGE Kenner collector. The man is THE expert of all things vintage here in the southwest, he can spot a fake a mile away. I am going to the store this weekend and I'll try to take some video of what they have to offer.

I dream of having a store like that close by...

It's awesome.

I'd love to see that one day...

Nice, those are great figures. I still need Nien and Ree Yees myself...

Oh yeah, they're all cool figures but grabbing the POTF ones is just too cool... I never had any of them as a kid.

Not bad. I think I will go after one when I get done.

Speaking of which I have these few on the way to knock of the list. all original:

Han Trenchcoat
Chief Chirpa
Biker Scout
AT-ST Driver

Awesome Jim!

Technically not vintage collectibles, but related to that, I got these awesome magnets off eBay:

 

[FLOSI]

Is that a Magneto magnet??

 

[karamazov80]

Yes I just glued a magnet to the Minimate's cape.

That seems to pushing the limits of your normally limited creative abilities Sam.


Sent using two cans and some string.

Cool - I want them.

 

[Nintenjoe]

got these t-shirt iron ons recently. while not toys, they are vintage. i will eventually put them on shirts.

 

[FLOSI]

Cool iron-ons Joe! I love Superman 2.

So I scored a Paploo, rebel trooper and commander today. That brings my total to 8 figures in the last three days! I'm going to be depressed when I'm done...

You're going to pass me soon.

 

[galactiboy]

So will the depression be from lack of money, or that the you have nothing left to collect?

I was kicking around the idea of picking up the Droids and Ewoks series but man are those things expensive. Don't think I like the series enough to justify dropping so much $$$ on them

I've already written off getting those. I'm not even going to look into them since I don't have enough interest in those shows.

No, just not having them to collect will be depressing. They're damn inexpensive really, with the few obvious exceptions.... Zero interest in the animated figures.

I can see wanting to upgrade a few though.

Wow, you're the first person to ever suggest that I had any creative abilities whatsoever. Thanks!

lol, me too.

Slow down a bit and enjoy it! There's only so many of these things after all.

Unless Hasbro decides to make real vintage-style figures, which I would LOVE to see. Reminds me... I will have to pick up one of those rocket-firing Bobas at some point...

 

[DarthNeil]

Which version Waller? The one Prime posted or:

Nice, I don't know much about that cardboard set, but I've heard its a pricey one

The cardboard DS was only available outside the US, namely Europe and Canada.

I've got one of these-- safely in storage. It was my favourite SW toy growing up.

Thanks, Flosi.

Since this has seemed to turn into a vintage star wars thread I'll keep in line and post more of the star wars figures I sold a few years back.
