Vintage Collectibles Thread

[user 1190]

I'd agree with anything pre-1990's. And I'd agree with sithjedi that anything SW would have to be from the origihal POTF or earlier to be vintage.

Of course that could change in 10 years, or maybe vintage will become classic and 1990's-2000 will become vintage

I better hold on to mine then

He was, but only in Mexico.

Were Lili Ledy actually licensed or bootleg?

Love the Remco pictures guys! Yeah these bring back a ton of memories.

@ Flosi: Thanks! I could not believe the near mint condition of the IG-88, and the price. Jordan Hembrough said I got a great deal, and I am happy with that!

For sure! And for less than a modern SS IG-** would cost.

Did you ever "come out of the closet"?

No... Er, I mean, how dare you!

They were licensed and sadly, hard to find.

On what cards? SW, ESB, RoTJ, POTF?

Does anyone know if Tomarts Action Figure Digest is still published on newstands? Or any action figure magazine for that matter? I went to Barnes & Nobles and they said they no longer carry any?

Quick update on my Six Million Dollar Man collection. Today I scored a mint Oscar Goldman with all of his accessories, and working exploding briefcase at Big Fun Toys in Cleveland. I have all the below figures in near mint condition/ with all their accessories (not shown in the photo). Now I have to find Big Foot!

Big Fun, nice I grew up with that place. Although I kind of miss the days when they just had the super-cramped first store.

Really? Were you from the Cleveland area? I am from Southern California but moved to Bay Village, Ohio about 9 years ago.

I remember seeing a guy selling the whole Lili Ledy set at a trade fair in Cheshunt about 8 years ago, wanted a ton of money for them. Even though they had a cool retro look, I couldn't feel any real nostalgia for them because I grew up with the Palitoy (Kenner) ones. Cool to see a retro Tusken and Jawa though.

REMCO Mummy just arrived! Man talk about memories! Now I need to track down the Frankenstein to complete my duo! Please share your photos if you have one!

My family is, I was born a bit south of there. But I do visit once a year and usually go to Coventry for fun. But I used to go all the time when I was younger. When Big Fun first opened they mostly just sold oddball kitschy stuff the owner got from warehouse finds.
