| Welcome to the board Sean. What exactly is a glass artist? Is that like the stained window type stuff?
If you search stained glass you will find some post by Russ who used to be around. Here is one thread on some stuff he did.

http://www.imperialgunneryforum.com/t5125-stained-glass-lamp-based-off-the-early-bird-kit-finished?highlight=stained+glass Those Star Wars themed stained glass panels are really cool. I actually use to make stained glass units here in Baltimore at a small specialty glass shop downtown. Before that I was commercial window installer and now im a glass artist but when I say glass artist I'm referring to glass blowing.  |

| That's cool. So like bowls and vases and stuff? Make a thread in the off topic section and share some of your work, when you get photo posting rights. |

| Welcome aboard Matt. You collect graded? Kind of a split issue around most boards these days, but we all agree on one thing which is no U-grade. If you don't know about U-grades they are a destructive process of the grading company opening carded items to grade them loose. All of the boards are against this practice. |

| Hi fellas! A new member from Europe. Long time Star Wars fan, and when it comes to collect, it's about model kits basically. I made a horrible Darth Costume some 32 years ago, and right now fiddling with the idea of tuening a Hasbro helmetless mask I got cheap into something worthy. Cannot post pics yet, but I have a quite advanced helmet right now. I post yesterday on the Don Post info thread, as I am considering the idea of getting one. I hope to show good stuff and sharing good times with you alll  |

| Welcome aboard. In the fist post of this thread you will find the questionaire everyone has been filling out if you want to do so (not required just shares some more info on you). I saw our post in the helmet thread asking about measurements, but my don post helmet is buried at the moment and near impossible to get out. Bud spencer does check in from time to time, but might pm him to see if he can check. |

| Welcome Chris. We don't have a ton of pricing info but if you have someone specific you can start a thread or we have a price evaluation thread around buried in the vintage chat somewhere. Prices are all over the place at the moment though so asking may yield better results than looking up older threads.
Jim, being in Spain do you have a poch/pbp focus? Not lots of information around on those lines but they are awesome. Just had a huge lot of them sell out on Facebook you can see the post about it in the vintage chat near the top. They don't come up often carded so this sell out was quite significant in that some of those examples that sold are really rare and maybe even one offs of known. |

| Hey all! I've been gone for a while. I went out and became an adult, had a kid, and bought a house and other fun stuff (Still feel like a kid). But I'm back. Boy, how the prices have gone up since I was last collecting only a few years ago... time to save up some money. What have I missed besides Toy Toni? Anything good? |
