Bon Solar Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well i dug up all the SW toys i could find, sadly i've lost loads of them but are any of these any good/rare or anything? HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Can't comment on the Micros and Action Fleet, but the figure's aren't worth a whole lot. Retail price maybe? If even that.... I am impressed by you having the backpack with Yoda on that Luke's back. When I was little, I could never get it to stay on, even if it was just sitting there.

Bon Solar Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Well they are all toys i played with as a boy (im now 15 so not too long ago) and yer the backpack is a b**** and i secretly only have one strap in a hole and the other tucked under the arm . I had another minature on a stand like the one on the black stand and it was a snow fighter (name?) but i've lost that. Also i have LOADS of starwars lego but i've lost lots of pieces. Im still looking for other SW toys as there are more. I'm happy i've found my ORIGINAL metal Thunderbirds collection, i have them all and apparantly they are worth a bit but ill keep them for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I say just display them or pack them up and keep them. One of two things will happen. You'll find them one day and they're worth millions (pah, I doubt it ) or you'll just get warm fuzzy feelings inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Is it worth buying the modern SW toys do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katarn07 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Is it worth buying the modern SW toys do you think? Don't ever collect something for the money. Collect it because you find it fun and enjoyable. I started out collecting right from the get go in '95 with my dad as long as getting dupes of the guys to take out and play with. I was only 8 at the time and pretty much loved collecting since. Well.... I've been pissed about Hasbro's SW line for sometime. My advice? Don't bother. It's become a chore for us veterans at times and it doesn't pay off if it's not worth anything. By the way, I'm digging the new style of this place. Except the smilies. They such. Not using another for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 Ok thanx guys, I've found out the men are POTF2 figures and the others are MM. I was thinking of collecting the games but i was told it was pointless :S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa_0 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Katarn is right if you want to collect something do it for the love of it. I guess ive started collecting around 97 or something like. Ive got most of the POTF2 stuff, but kinda slacked down after POTJ came out. But ive collected all the TPM, AOTC and ROTS figures. Nothing much from that OTC line and power of the jedi line aswell.

Katarn07 Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Ok thanx guys, I've found out the men are POTF2 figures and the others are MM. I was thinking of collecting the games but i was told it was pointless :S Which games? Board games and video games are fun but probably worthless. The original SW Monopoly was worth alot for awhile. Not sure anymore with all the new versions made. Or are you referring to card and miniature games? Can't comment on the cards, but the minis are worth quite a bit if you have a complete set. They just reprinted the first set, Rebel Storm. If you're interested, get those now while they're still out. Once they're gone, they're gone and prices for out of print minis are high. Clone Strike and Revenge of the Sith are outta print now. Very hard to come by (well, there's a few RotS things here and there but stores won't get more in after it's gone) and the prices on the secondary market are outta this world. I started collecting them for the fun of it. It's a bonus knowing how much they're worth.... If value and fun interests you, I recommend getting into that instead of the figures. The next set, Universe Huge, comes out in August. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 What are minis?? By the way, is this sort of thing worth the price? : http://www.play.com/play247.asp?pa=promo&page=title&r=GADG&title=627495 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 I found the mini's. They look wicked, ive found a UK based site which has all 3 series in stock. Are they metal, what size are they, good quality? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 They are like, little statues. I would say they are no bigger than an inch. They are pretty good quality, and they are plastic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 ok, thanx, Im going to order a few from the net and start from there. I'll go for Rebel Storm first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daring dueler Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 If you like the minis, and it will be fun for you, i recomend collecting those over basic figures...at least with those you have a large quantity to focus on, and alot of them are fairly easy to get.

daring dueler Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Yessum, why go expensive first, might end up being a waste... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 I'll see how i like them, if i do i'll go on ebay and pay for the rarer ones. I have money burning a hole in my pocket and i dont pay for living,mortage or anything cos im 15, woop. Ebay does have a lot of stuff going pretty cheaply. Im waiting on one with a few days to go that is 67 RS Pieces (some repeats) all still in packaging with cards that is only a quid. If it stays around 10-15 quid ill get it. Im gonna collect RS for now despite Clone *cant remember 2nd bit* being my faviourite looking due to LS's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZBomber Posted July 30, 2005 Share Posted July 30, 2005 I personally don't like eBay for getting things you can get elsewhere, I don't see the point as you usually don't save that much money, and have to worry about damages and what not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 30, 2005 Author Share Posted July 30, 2005 http://www.the13thfloor.co.uk/ http://www.the13thfloor.co.uk/indexstarwars.asp Theres the place i got my miniatures earlier. Don't know wheather those prices are good? But they seem to have a fair few from the 3 collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katarn07 Posted July 31, 2005 Share Posted July 31, 2005 Skip Clone Strike. This was the crummiest set when it came to quality and it's the most expensive at the moment. It's impossible to find boosters or anything of any kind for near retail price. It's best to order cases when possible. You're guaranteed a R/ VR ration opposed to buying individual boosters. It's a bit steep in price, but totally worth it if you're going to really get into it. See how you like these things. Hell, you might like the game as well. I do and casually play it now and then. Mainly a collector though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bon Solar Posted July 31, 2005 Author Share Posted July 31, 2005 Boosters it says contain a R/VR, 2 Uncommon and 4 common or something.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
