Vintage Collectibles Thread

Just came across this thread.

Thought id share some of my Vintage Star Wars pics.

Carded AFA, non afa carded and loose.

My goal (A near impossible one) is to find an AFA 85 or higher crystal clear bubble luke stormtrooper, i have been through about 5 luke stormies. This was one my favourite toy when i was a kid.

Money has since dried up and times are tough now so i dont really buy anymore. Although i still need a vinyl jawa and blue snaggletooth.

I would kill for a carded collection, but I don't have enough money for that.

Love the bottom picture. Looks like a cardback.

Very cool... always liked the Indy figures, saw them once or twice in stores when I was a kid but never got any.

I don't ever remember seeing them as a kid. Maybe I was too busy playing with my SW figures.

Got in a Kenner Large Size Vader today... really an awesome figure. My mom actually owned this when I was a kid, but I never got to play with it Now I get to play with this guy whenever I wants too

Also, last week I got a complete set of the Galoob Next Generation figures, always though these were pretty cool ​

That vader is great! He looks to be in awesome shape too! I sold him at a yard sale as a kid.... only to have to hunt him down now lol

Ah yard sales, the bane of the adult collectors childhood

Ah, I see Indy has caught your eye now Dee-Dubya! All I need is the damn Convoy Truck and I'll be set.

Killer collection Darth Con

Yes, very cool Darth Con and that's a nice looking 12" Vader Joe!

Yes, indeed. As if I didn't have enough SW figures to track down.

Are you going to any conventions anytime soon? You can also e-mail Toy Anxiety for Kenner SW. They carry a HUGE Kenner selection in their actual store. It's not on their website but they may be able to hook you up!

 

[galactiboy]

Good to know... I'll send them a message

BTW Deak, I'm responding to you PM now.

Not anytime soon. I may try and do SW Fan Days in Dallas later this year.

I didn't know about TA. I appreciate the information!

I've branched out a little recently from SW figures to some other vintage toys, so I may have to wait a little before buying more figures. In addition to the Well of Souls, I have an Ewok Village, Rebel Transport and Kenner 1979 Alien coming soon. I've always wanted one of those Aliens.

 

[galactiboy]

Did you buy the Alien offered here on the boards? Its a piece I've wanted for a long time as well... its a figure that's always in the back of my mind, but never seem to find the right deal

 

[galactiboy]

BTW, what are some fair prices for loose vintage Indy figures? I know I could look it up on eBay, but I'm lazy

From eBay. I didn't realize there was one here.

These guys seem to be about as expensive as some of the final 17 SW figures ($30-$50).

 

[galactiboy]

So Imperial Dignitary territory... but not quite Yak Face. I may have to look into these as well.

A lot of the new 1/6 figures just aren't "must haves" for me anymore... so I think its time to kick it up on some Vintage goodness

I'm feeling that way as well. I just got the HT T2 and have HT T1 on Flex. I'm on the waitlist for the exclusive Hammerhead and have Gammy on Flex. I want to track down Greedo eventually. Other than that, I have nothing else on the radar.

 

[galactiboy]

Pretty much the same story here... a few figures on pre-order that are coming soon. Nothing past 2nd Quarter which is unusual for me

Also, refocusing the collection frees up some space and $$$ to make the vintage lovin' happen. Right now I'm contemplating dumping the MOTUC figures... they're cool, but kind of an oddity in my collection as they aren't vintage or 1/6 scale
