Vintage Collectibles Thread

[galactiboy]

I concur Mr. Mod. What sections do you have?

General collectibles (now I can moderate this thread when people post non-vintage items ) Star Wars, Commerce, Customs and Other Topics.

Should keep me busy

I didn't even know there was a Madine variant... I just want one of each of the carded figs at this point. Any variants after the fact will be of my choosing and not because I feel the need to buy them to complete my collection... That would get really crazy really fast.

So are you buying carded figures, or just want the figures that came on cardbacks?

I agree

Vintage Heath Ledger customs , so you want him to look 10?

 

[MANDO]

I agree

Why I oughta....

I think he meant he's going after the ones that came carded and then he'll go after Searstooth.

I kid, I kid. Most of those I pulled out of my ass, but some of them are very real. 100% is only in your mind.

There wasnt a lili ledy pop up just the regular one not even a sensorscope version. There was a glasslite R2-D2

See above.

Oh man a vintage collectibles thread!? Anyone posted much of the Kenner Super Powers line? I'll post a vid tonight!

Do eeeit, do eeeit noaw!

I agree

OK HERE IT IS! THE EPIC VID OF EPIC KENNER FIGS! OMG OMG!

Yeah ok its not that incredible but this is a little vid I did last year after I had gathered all of the first series of the Super Powers line.

I think galactiboy has a custom title - 'I blame Kenner.'? Well, I can relate, the Super Powers figs I had as a boy are what sent me down the collectibles road for sure. I finally got round to putting my faves together last year and I'm really happy with what I managed to get.

I have made a couple of additions since this vid, I got the Hall of Justice playset and a batmobile, both are pretty scuffed up. This figs themselves are in good condish but obviously not carded, they just cost too much and the urge to open em up would be too great.

Please enjoy the vid, frikkin great idea for a thread too!

Same here, I have a lot of down-time at work so I check and post a lot, then I'm more likely to check on weeknights to continue any discussions. But on the weekends I'm pretty scarce unless there's an event like Spook or SDCC. Got hang with the family and kiddo.

I imagine this will soon be the case with me (Sep 29 due date!!!).

I consider Blue Snaggs to be a necessary figure... but he's more like an entirely different figure than a tan leg variant or Kenobi with gray hair.

I feel the same way for some reason. He's almost like a totally different character!

I actually picked up a SWEET Blue Snag just before I left Afghanistan... I'll take pics once we're done with the basement (soon!!!) and I've got some of my collection up again.

As much as GI Joe takes priority for me, I feel like it's one of the grails in my entire collection.

mfoga, nice carded R2 you have there!

I must admit, if I got any Droids figures, it would be R2 and 3PO just because of how different they are.

Yeah, I'd be interested in those two nd Wicket and Logray from the Ewoks series. Ewoks prices aren't too bad, but $200ish a pop for the C-3PO and R2-D2 makes it a bit harder to justify.

And looking at the figures from that series I have a hard time imagining I'd enjoy owning an Uncle Gundy

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Congrats Prime!

 

[user 1190]

Which R2-D2 is 200 a $200? The Driod version isn't any more then the POTF R2-D2 from what I have seen.

One on RS sold for $50 and was nicer then mine. I was 15 min to late to get it.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

100% taunts me with every gb post.

Doesn't it now ?

1. I was, uh, quite a bit older than 5 when ROTJ came out.

2. You blame Kenner, I blame you.

You and i both brother.

I'm mostly enjoying the new animated series for Thundercats; but still not 100% behind it. Loved the premiere, but so far the weekly episodes have been hit and miss.

I do like the vintage figures they've released, although I don't plan on collecting them.

I'd rather put the money towards the originals. !

Just say NO! to variants.

__ 8D8

I was thinking that both R2 and C-3PO were selling for that much on eBay. Might have just run a few fluke auctions then.

 

[user 1190]

I have 8 (9 if your ok with walrus face having blue blaster)
Both Klaatu
Squid head
Imperial commander
Teebo
At-at driver (pick of 2)
Rebel comander (pick of two)
Power driod( paint wear on one side)

I may have Nikto later. I have two but saving them for staff since o could use for 2 I need.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

If you can send pics I would be appreciative.

 

[DPrime]

Congrats Is this your first?

Thanks - yep!

Man, that thing is awful.

Thanks for posting it, though - any thoughts of tracking down these figures have disappeared!

 

[DPrime]

Congrats Prime!

Thanks!

 

[galactiboy]

Granted Uncle Gundy is easily the worst of the series but the overall style is quite difference from the ANH through POTF releases.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I think it's their uniqueness that makes them attractive to many.
