Vintage Collectibles Thread

[Darth Waller]

I look at my HT figures and think "damn, I could sell all this for a nice chunk of money and put that back into a more focused SW/Indy collection." That eFX Darth Vader helmet, for example, had me really tempted to sell a few items to fund it's purchase, esspecially since I didn't start looking into it till just a few days before the presell. Still, it's hard to imagine getting rid of some figures, and I really doubt that I could ever be really satisfied with prop replicas....

I change my focus all the time. In fact, I've got my T1 and T2 T-800s on eBay right now because I'm trying to pay for a vintage grail from another Rebelscum member. It's one of those items on my wish list that I never thought I would get, so I'm pretty psyched about it.

T1 sold, just need to get paid for it. Hoping my T2 sells soon.

Well, don't keep us in suspense - show off this new vintage grail of yours!

I haven't gotten it yet. I'm still in the process of raising funds for it.

Is such a thing really, really expensive???

 

[galactiboy]

Stay on target... stay on target...

I think the DS MIB runs about 5 at the most?? So no.... Hmmmm

We talking 500 or 5000 here?

It is a rather cool piece. I wouldn't mind having one myself...

 

[galactiboy]

That is a pretty pimp piece... no real room for it in my collection, but gotta respect the vintageness of it

 

[sladesuperagent]

Meh. Looks like a bunch of cheap plastic to me. Give me the cardboard version any day.

 

[FLOSI]

I've always been a fan of it so I'd imagine that If I were to get into play-sets that would be a target, for sure. Still, they don't go for that much, right?

 

[FLOSI]

Just looked on the bay and saw one for 350, complete with box, so I doubt Waller is selling a bunch of stuff for that....

 

[barryo]

the DS playset is awesome & win rolled into one..........

plus it has real foam pieces for the trash compactor............

Yeah, I'm not sure I have the room either, but the more I look at it, the more I want it...

I couldn't find a pic of the cardboard version on Rebelscum. It does have a certain panache, doesn't it?

I guess not too much. Doesn't seem like many vintage SW vehicles or playsets are all that expensive.

I don't know. We'll see how I feel when I get home. Right now I'm keeping it to figures and creatures only, but I could maybe see myself getting a TIE and X-Wing. If I end up going a bit bigger and get the Ewok Village, I'd almost have to get his to "balance" everything. Can't have RotJ dominate the display, after all.

 

[FLOSI]

MF, X-Wing and Vader Tie are the only ones that I know I want... Heck, Falcons can be had for next to nothing if you're patient.
