Vintage Collectibles Thread

[Nintenjoe]

fun thread. i mainly collect vintage toys so it's cool to see everyone's collection. unfortunately all my vintage stuff is packed away so i don't have any display shots, mostly just single pics.
here's another one...

Nice Dprime... very nice. What stands are you using for your jets? Looks like a great way to display them

Thanks! Just do a search for "eagle stand" on Ebay. I don't think he lists them in the action figure section though... just do a search in all categories. I think he made them for models, but they work awesome with Joe stuff. Might be good for SW, too.

Thanks DPrime... I was thinking an X-Wing would look good on one of those

And great Firehouse Nintenjoe... keep the pics coming man Ghostbusters is another series I'd like to at least have the original 4 figures from. I think I only had Venkman (he was my favorite) as a kid and then a few random ghost figures.

ill definitely post more pics. as a kid, i never had the original 4 figures either. i did have all 4 fright feature versions and those are my favorite. i do have the ecto-glow variants MOC along with louis tully. these were the last "ghostbusters" produced for the line.

There are also these Flightpose stands at Big Bad Toy Store, but I think this size is sold out.

EDIT: I found an official site: https://flightpose.com/index.cfm

Nice!

Vintage? I noticed you haven't any pics--are they all standing? That's why I dropped my collection--bunch of bow-legged muscular guys leaning on each other. Even when they're tight and mint, they don't stand worth a ____.

Pics yet? No, but yes last time I checked they all stood. That was kind of a requirement of mine. Oh and a Castle Grayskull with the box...weapons still on the tree.

 

[FLOSI]

Sure dude, here are some older pics. My stuff is on page 2 of this thread.

Hot damn Nick! There's some wonderful vintage goodness there.

I need to stay clear of this thread or else I'll be compelled to start buying.

Uh-oh... I'm moving into the danger zone. Just bought a new Imperial Gunner since mine is missing his gun, but while I was at it got a new Dignitary as this one doesn't have the nose rub...

Must not go overboard replacing figures with better examples... must be content

Welcome to my world. I was looking at my personal figures and wasn't pleased with how many are in "played with" condition.

I've decided to start with the figures I don't own and maybe eventually pick up better replacements on the ones I do.

 

[galactiboy]

Well if you need a dignitary with a nose rub and a Gunner w/o a gun I can hook you up!!!

 

[Darth Waller]

I saw an auction the other day for the first 79 figures and 2 POTF figures in C9 condition. I wish I had the money. It went for $611.00, so roughly $7.50 a figure.

[galactiboy]

Damn... that's a good price.

Large lots are a good way to save some cash, get ones you need and sometimes even turn a profit getting rid of those you don't.

 

[Darth Waller]

I first noticed it when it was in the $300 range. I figured I wouldn't bother because I knew it would get a bit higher. The per figure cost is really good, but dropping that amount of money at once was just not possible at this time.

It is fun getting a figure or two at a time in the mail, but I would love to get most of them in one swoop.

Nice!

I like those... may have to try out a couple, see how they work. Thanks for the link!

I've done this about a dozen times for the Super Powers line--I need the more expensive figures of the line and could replace a few and the "all in one" lots are always so tempting. Definitely been a few times I've broken down the the lot per figure and kicked myself later.

 

[galactiboy]

Maybe its time we combine our forces on some of these lots... although who gets what could get confusing

Uh, I am in the process of upgrading all of my Kenner SW figures. Once you start you can't stop. Just wait till you start looking for Droids and Ewoks figures.

That stings.

I have "lots".

 

[Nintenjoe]

a couple of old school lunch boxes.

At the moment I really don't have an interest in the Droids or Ewoks figures past the main ones... but I'm sure with time that could change. Alhtough I do have a hard time with the cost of the animated R2 and C-3PO, even loose they go for around $200
