Vintage Collectibles Thread

[Darth Waller]

I sent you a PM - I'm looking for a minty Lion-O and some of the main characters... And if you're looking to sell Super-Powers, LMK too! I'd at least want Bats, Robin, WW, Supes, etc.

I think I used to have a carded Super-Powers figure. I don't remember who it was, but I'll take a look for it.

 

[Skiman]

I'm looking for full sets, everyone has a price....!!!!!

 

[DPrime]

So, something I was thinking of the other day... If you could only buy 2-4 items of each vintage line, which would they be? What are the must haves?

Star Wars
GI Joe
Transformers
MOTU
Thundercats
Voltron
MASK
Super-Powers
Secret Wars
Mego
LJN WWF
Go-Bots
Captain Power
Dino-Riders
Sectaurs

Anything I missed?

Don't worry folks... The Thundercats will be getting a good home

This a great question... I have often done this as a way to have figures from a series, but not have to go all completist with the line.

Star Wars: Impossible... unthinkable idea
GI Joe: 3 3/4" Cobra Commander, Duke, Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow
Transformers: OG Optimus and Megatron- Could add Starscream and Grimlock
MOTU: He-Man and Skeletor
Thundercats: Mumm-Ra (full power) and Lion-O & Jaga
Voltron: Die-Cast Voltron I, II and III
MASK: Thunderhawk & Switchblade
Super-Powers: Superman, Lex Luthor, Joker and Batman
Secret Wars: Spider-Man (red and Blue), Wolverine, Dr. Doom and Magneto
Mego: That's a hard one since there were so many series; Fonzie, Kirk, Superman and Spider-Man
LJN WWF: Hogan Hogan & Andre The Giant (w/long hair)
Go-Bots: They suck... so I would never own them
Captain Power: Captain Power, Powerjet, Lord Dread and Soaran Sky Sentry
Dino-Riders: Diplodocus and T-Rex
Sectaurs: Dargon w/Dragonflyer & Spirax w/Spiderflyer

I'm really missing my old Krang's Android Body right now. Seems impossible to find mint in box.

 

[galactiboy]

I got one loose and in good condition a couple years ago... any particular reason you want on MIB?

 

[Darth Waller]

And Deak, any Super Powers for sale?

And if you're looking to sell Super-Powers, LMK too! I'd at least want Bats, Robin, WW, Supes, etc.

I dug up these figures from my random box of stuff. If either of you are interested, just let me know.

 

[Skiman]

Damn Waller, where did you get those, are they from day 1?

Pretty much. I'm old as dirt!

 

[Nintenjoe]

i definitely gotta pick up more super powers stuff. all i have right now is the small carded superman and supermobile.

 

[MadCow]

Ahh Super Powers, I loved that line as a kid. What I wouldn't give for a mint Batmobile, Batman and Robin. All I have now is a carded Flash and loose Martian Manhunter sans cape.

 

[Valfar]

Thought I would post this since this is the vintage thread. Come on Galactiboy!

Yea, i kinda miss my Thundercats..i had just about everything you got there plus Top Spinner and aged Tygra.

Old guys (not me though) FTW! I just asked a girl at work if she knew what a Mogwai was, she looked at me like I was speaking another language. Ah, at least she has a sweet ass I can stare at all day.

Yeah they're pretty cool, I was hoping Mattel would pull a MOTUC on Thundercats but doesn't look like that's happening. Who knows maybe Bandai will come through...but probably not.

I saw, p. cool so far. Now let's see production paint apps...there is a world of a difference between Bandai USA and Japan/Hong Kong in the QA department.

+1 for Ted DiBiase references Dave! It was surreal seeing the Honky Tonk Man and Virgil walk the floor at SDCC. RIP Miss Elizabeth.

Go-Bots: They suck... so I would never own them

Aw, they're not so bad... Not as good as Transformers, obviously, but they deserve their place in '80s toy history and we all had them! I was thinking I'd at least want a Leader-1.

Let me know if you don't plan on keeping Lion-O and Snarf, at least!

 

[galactiboy]

I honestly never owned a single Go-Bot as a kid... I was picky when it came to what cartoons I liked and asked for toys from. I could tell even then that shows like Go-Bots and the Filmation Ghostbusters were bull____

Go-bots were the cheap imitations to the transformers.
