| Hello all! I am new to the site from Facebook .. I used to do Galactic Heroes customs then when they finished I decided to put together a vintage collection like I had when I was a kid in the 70's 80's ... My original figures are now in the hands of my nephew so I had to start all over again ... I have collected a few carded figures too ... But the cards are of poor quality and I think I am going to open them on Christmas morning |

| Hi gh_customs, welcome aboard. Is there something we can call you besides gh_customs? Would like to see some of your customs though. They don't sound vintage style but that doesn't matter...throw some pics up in here Thanks for saying "Hi". |

| Wow - I am a member here for a little over a year and was sure that I had introduced myself, but I had not! And Josh is right, if I want to enter a raffle, I should speak up now. The boy in the pic of my Avatar is actually me, my parents scanned their old slides a while ago and gave me some and there were some pics of me playing with my childhood collection, unboxing a Tauntaun and Millenium Falcon. That being said I am German and 33 years old and so was in the perfect age when the Kenner toys hit the market to play with them. A couple of years later I sold my complete childhood collection, something that I regret now of course. The years passed and when the Hasbro Saga figures came out (those ugly blue boxes, I know, I know...) I started collecting them and also bought a few vintage figures. But I soon lost interest again and sold most of the stuff. More years passed and recently, when the saga came out on Blu Ray, I got a Vintage Collection Boba Fett in Prototype Armour as a preorder bonus. The card reminded me of the vintage cards and I started looking for prices on eBay. I thought that all kinds of vintage MOCs would demand a much higher price than they do and was surprised that I was able to get a mint MOC Palitoy Boushh (my favourite childhood figure) for only 70 Euro. I bought her and said to the seller that I only want to get a handful of MOCs and that's it, but he laughed at me, because he knew what was coming and he was right. Today I have nearly complete run of mint loose figures (only thing missing is a VCJ, bought a blue Snag recently), a lot of boxed vehicles/starcrafts/beasts/mini rigs, some Lili Ledy figures, vintage Kenner/Lucasfilm slides/transparencies and a lot more. Speaking of slides/transparencies, I'm always looking to expand that part of my collection, so if you have some for sale or have a lead, please drop a PM. Recently I also restarted my blog and moved it to a new domain: http://www.home-of-boushh.com There I mainly showcase my latest acquisitions and write about stuff that I think may be of interest to others as well. I'm still in the process of building it up, especially the Facebook Page that goes with it, so bare with me if you take a look.

| Hey guys, I've just joined the forum so wanted to introduce myself and say hi! I'm a life long 35 year old guy who has enjoyed these marvelous movies since before I can remember. I still have all of my childhood toys which I really cherish now, they are hugely sentimental, good memories! I'm looking to add to my collection, it's great fun tracking down some of the stuff I always wanted as a kid! Anyway, glad to have found this forum and looking forward to being part of the community here |

| New member here. Found out about your site thru members talking on RS. I'm 41, been a huge Star Wars fan since '77. As a child I collected almost everything and then like a lot of people gave away my collectibles to younger family members. In the last couple of years I've been reliving my youth and aquiring a decent sized collection, only original trilogy stuff. I don't hate the prequels, but nothing from those movies do anything for me as far as collecting. So far I've amassed a nice loose collection of figures, all of the originals and any varients. Still need 2 from the POTF. I've got a couple AFA falcons, both ESB, one has the Star Wars pic. I've bought a pile of newer hasbro stuff that is Original Trilogy. Currently working on MOC 12 backs, so far I have 5 of them. Theres a few other MISB stuff and most of the figures from the POTF2 lines in the mid 90s. My Star Wars room got filled up pretty quickly, now I'm slowing down a bunch to find more important pieces. With this forum and RS I've learnt alot since I've renewed my passion for all things Star Wars. I look forward to reading more and from time to time putting in my 2 cents.
Cheers Rod |
