Vintage Collectibles Thread

I gotta say that I love this thread.

I dunno Deak, the clear lack of Star Wars vernacular in this post makes me question whether or not Karamzov80 is deserving of any vintage goodness

We may have to implement a quiz, or standardized testing to see if people are worthy

Always in motion is the future.

Maybe ask some questions that are only OT-relevant and not tainted by the PT. Or some quotes.

Double true! Bros before Sam.

"Echo Station Three-T-Eight. We've spotted big walkers."

If you're nice to Flosi he'll PM you some "big walkers".

It's funny, that R2 is quite pricey, but it's probably the least desired of all the POTF figures for me. I mean, I've already got the first R2, then there's the sensor scope version I'll have to get as well... Kind of feel silly having to get all these R2s that basically look the same. I'll get it eventually for completion's sake, but I'm in no rush. It's almost like more of a variant.

He's one of the hardest to find mint. It's SCIENCE!

Perhaps you're right, and I should restrict my vintage collecting to stuff I actually collected as a kid. Star Wars is clearly the inferior toy line anyway. Yo Joe, _____es!

I considered just having one R2 and C-3PO. but found as I got further along I felt I needed them more

Sippycup R2 really is not that great of a figure, but sometimes you just gotta give in

Nice... now tell me that is not your collection. If it is I think you might have to take over this thread

 

[karamazov80]

No no no. If it was, trust me, I would be showing it off at every chance, putting links to pics in my signature, changing my user title to "greatest unopened Joe collection in the world, _____es! Etc." I actually don't have any unopened Joe stuff, though I've considered picking a few up. . .

 

[Deak Starkiller]

No loose JOES? GTFO here Sam.

Why is that, anyway? Just because of the stickers? The "lightsabre launch" mechanism?

I know I'll get him eventually, but I didn't know he was hard to find MINT, just hard to find like any POTF figure... I'm interested in what I should be looking for here.

Agreed! But Kenner's 3 3/4" line is still a nice one to collect - and EASIER, imo, as long as you're not going for the variants. Way too many RAH Joes to be a completist, as far as I'm concerned - and too much stuff after '86 is hit or miss...

lol, yeah, like I said, I'll get him eventually, if only to display with Jedi Luke, so I have the original with Farmboy Luke, etc.

Congrats! They display very well.

Yeah, they're all in a box, as are my vintage Transformers, Super Powers, and Secret Wars stuff. I guess I'm a sad excuse for a vintage collector

This is a shot from several years ago. Nothing too impressive, though I have all the figures I wanted.

 

[jimjimmyjones85]

I'm in the upgrade mode. I went through my whole collection and it's time for an overhaul!

Let me know what you're upgrading... good chance some of your cast-aways would be upgrades for me

Me too ! I need more than him ! LOL.

Looking good Prop!

It's the sticker and because he's a white figure. That's also science.

Oh, ok. You're off the hook...for now.

Me too ! I need more than him ! LOL.

We'll see if my scraps are good enough for you guys.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I can't remember if I had posted this or not. Some Secret Wars love. I'd love to pick up a Constrictor & Iceman some day.

 

[karamazov80]

No interest in Elektro?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Shut up, him too.

 

[galactiboy]

I need the 3 European ones as well... could also do with a less worn Captain America and a Daredevil w/his weapon.

The red color on my Daredevil bleeds through fairly often, but I guess that is a universal issue with him.

Considering I have more I need than I don't,... I think I am in ! LOL.

 

[Darth Waller]

Finally getting a Bespin Han.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Cool, one of my favorites.

 

[FLOSI]

Finally getting a Bespin Han.

From the same guy I picked my figures up from today, no less. I posted a response and pic over in the 'Newb Flosi's Cantina' thread, but he had a nice Bespin Leia that I passed on due to her having a cross-eyed look. That Han looks pristine though!
