Boba Rhett Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Collect is kind of an understatement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sivy Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I had a full set of the old star wars figures a few years back, but I sold them all for £150, they were worth a hell of a lot more but at the time I needed the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I have been collecting Star Wars Action Figures since they re-launched the series in 95 or 96. I had traded my old ones in when I was around 13 for a set of Rookie hockey cards(none of which turned out to be worth anything) I felt so guilty, I make it a point to buy almost every figure....almost. I don't have an exact count any more. I get a new one every week or so. I have several in storage until I get another place. I usually display some in diorammas. I took a Mos Eisley image from A New hope special edition, blew it up on the computer and digitally removed the landspeeder in photoshop. I put the sandspeeder with luke, obi, and the "two droids" and surrounded it with desert stormies, amazingly it is all in scale. I also made a docking bay 94, and have the Mos Eisley cantina, the at at several other ships. My favorite figure in the whole bunch is Darth Vader revealed as Annikin Skywalker(removeable helmet and hand)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorganfloss Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 Wow, nice Groovy. I have a drawer full of figures from the 90's up. I just got a new figure today which is why I posted this. Im proud I made a whole $5.00. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Hey, that's my favorite figure too, Groovy! I don't open mine at least not many of them. I imagine I have over 600 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gorganfloss Posted September 20, 2002 Author Share Posted September 20, 2002 My favorite figure is the 300th anniversary (or whatever the 300 stands for) Boba Fett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Groovy Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 Originally posted by gorganfloss My favorite figure is the 300th anniversary (or whatever the 300 stands for) Boba Fett. The three hundred stand for Hasbro's 300th figure. And I got two of them, one to play with one to keep sealed in the great cabinet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boba Rhett Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I have one of each of the two package variants for him. He's a great figure too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Groovy Posted September 20, 2002 Share Posted September 20, 2002 I have an original Obi Wan with the long saber and full shot bio card varient, I forgot how much he is worth. Don't matter cuz I will be buried with him. Tomart has not put out a price guid since 1997, and if he did it totally missed my town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cant resist, I always open them... I got most of mine a few years ago so they are all out of their package and have been sorta worn out from numerous hours of an 11 year olds playtime. A couple years ago I got that freakin expensive ATAT, and then like 5 weeks after I had it, its head fell off... I wass a pissed off little kid at that time...
