Hi, the name's Tray, or JediTray, or JT if you like.

coachk28 let me know about this place, so here I am! I am on a mission to complete my loose vintage set, and only have these to go:

Lando Calrissian (General Pilot)
Luke Skywalker (brown hair)
Princess Leia Organa in Bespin Gown
Snaggletooth (blue)

I ALSO WANT A TIE BOMBER.

I have been actively collecting since way back in the "trade through the mail" days before computers. The bulk of my collection was stolen in 2001, so I have been trying to pick up the pieces. I sure hope you folks can help, and who knows, maybe I'll have some extras pretty soon to help others.

Drop me a line anytime!

Welcome man!!!

You're gonna have a lot of fun on here and learn a lot about some crazy vintage stuff in the process!!!

Some really great guys started this forum and have done an amazing job with it!!!

Make sure you take some pics of your stuff so we can all see!!!!


Later!!!!!
James

Hi JT welcome to the forum buddy!

Im sure you will be able to find the figures your looking for pretty soon

Welcome JT. Like your ideas re AFA man!

Thanks guys.

I am now down to just FOUR figures needed, so I hope you're right about me finding them soon!

As far as the AFA, I think they are ridiculous and I will NEVER have one of their cases in my collection. They are nothing more than an excuse to charge more for something. In MY collection, it is ME that will do the grading, thank you very much!

You've got me convinced Tray, see if you can work your magic on Coach.

Wise choice on the AFA too, ill go along with that and yeh ... who coaches coaches???

Welcome to the forum JT!

Sorry to hear about your collection being stolen. Did the police ever find whichever scumbag took it?

Amen to that JT!!

I personally dont like AFA (although if others like AFA thats cool) my main grip with them is the destructive U Grade seeing loads of MOC's and baggies get destroyed for a sticker with the letter U has been a great shame. I also dont like loose figures graded i think half the time the can end up been damaged by the case. Personally i prefer to pose my figures with their weapons on figure stands.

The only time i buy any AFA if its the only way to pick up a particular MOC and then i wont over pay on the item ill offer or pay a price that reflects a none graded example or pass on it unless its uber hard to find.

It was my ex-wife. So, that means she got away with it.

Welcome aboard Tray. I couldn't have said it better about AFA.

I am after a brown hair farmboy version.

Welcome aboard JT!

You've come to a good spot with a great group of guys! I'm sure you'll be able to find the last four figures for your set!

And I've got to agree with you on AFA as well. Although, I have one AFA piece, but it wasn't me who sent it to them.

Welcome JT. C'mon show us your pics buddy.

Welcom to the forum JT, looking forward to seeing your collection mate.

Thanks fellas.

I don't know when/if I'll get to taking pics, but I'll post 'em if I do.

As for the AFA, here's what happens when I get a hold of one.

LOL!

Welcome to the forum, I am starting to like you even more
