Well after selling up nearly and stopping then collecting Ledy again and now selling some of it again im getting confused haha, HOWEVER once Goldies debts are paid for its Ledy and the odd rarity i fancy for me, i might keep trying to get more Tie Bombers (been looking around and you dont see many for sale), and more Ledy and maybe more Fetts and hmmm did i mention Ledy? I dont want to get tied down with a carded run tho so if i buy carded itll be because its rare or cheap lol probs buy some Ledy too

I have started buying loose figures again

Boushh + Loose figures

Are you going all Tatsie on us now Rob?

As of right now, I'm going for the 4-LOM offer cards, along with the bootlegs. I picked up two nice ones yesterday on RS to get the ball rolling. It feels so good to get back into the hunt again.

You will be fighting Stephen for them Chrisso

Thats what I was afraid of, someone else going that route. But with me buying 3-4 a month, hopefully he'll have his set before I get to the more expensive ones. It was either them or the Nien or display area offers. I know the display ones go for a good bit.

Tatsie WTF does that mean lol

I think it means to obsess about 1 particular vintage SW item/figure for no apparent variant reason, ie collect loads of exactly the same thing, like Tatsie collecting loads of identical loose Yak's.

EDIT: not that have i a problem with this behaviour, each to their own!

I hope to finish my loose figure collection in 2010,i think i need about 36 with the VCJ being the main stumbling block!

I also hope to add a POTF Skiff,A Wing & Imperial Shuttle to my boxed vehicle collection too!

Arse!!! after reading more and catching up on this hobby im getting major figures expansion ideas, doesnt this just sneak up on ya and grab ya by the bollox!

After the Ledy Emperor discussion im thinking how cool it would be to have 1 of each side by side (yeh of every damn figure!)

But im going to start with the Emperors of course

Im also now fancying a nice minty complete kenner set (bit by bit).

Been eyeing playsets up too gawd where does it end

thats it now, your done for. I see an Emperor focus for you maybe?

Yup Chaz, i considered the Emperor first haha, just one of each loose mind

As the title says I would like to hear about your plans for your Star Wars collection. I am full of ideas but not sure which way to go. I've started down the scary road of MOCs. I don't have enough space as it is. I would like to display as much as possible. I have not lost interest in loose variations but they are starting to get really expensive. A mint loose foreign variation can be equal in value to a decent 12 back. I do not think I could have a character focus. Sounds like I am undecided I like the idea of trading up & really do not like selling. Regardless I am having fun. I would like a plan for 2010.

I thought i would bump this old thread up to see how peoples intial plans for 2010 have panned out now we are getting near the end of the year

I think most here know what my main goal will be for 2010

1. Finish the 62 coin set

I'm just looking for a Luke Hoth coin to finish my set. I hope one turns up between now and Dec., so I can finish another collecting milestone for me.

2. Luke Jedi (ROTJ-A baggie, Lili Ledy loose figure/cardback, Palitoy MOC)

I haven't seen a ROTJ-A baggie yet. I got the ledy cardback shortly after this post thanks to some fellow collectors, but haven't pulled the trigger on a loose figure. I did get a Palitoy a few months back.

3. Early Bird Certificate

This was surprisingly an early purchase of the year that I just completed some of the missing paperwork on.

shawn_k wrote:

After scoring those items I think I will be mostly content with my overall collection. I imagine after that I will be able to focus all attention to Luke Jedi with the exception of one item that I will have to do some saving for which would be a early bird mailer with DT Luke.

An early bird mailer is still up on my list and will be something I'll be going after next year for sure.

Well...

I think I will stop collection Star Wars or Action figures for that matter. When I first got in collection I would only collect the figures I had when I was a kid. After I got that collection I went over variations, MOC, MIB and had some focus collections. But every time I went back to the main collection and sold the rest of the collection. To be honest I planned on having a Cloud car pilot focus, but it's like I really don't get a sparkle any more. So I have desited to sell all my stuff but the main collection, I collected all the machines I had when I was a kid, all the beast and my GI Joes collection(which by the way also is a collection based on the stuff I had when I was a kid)
So my goal must be to sell my spare stuff and stop collection.

Cheers Michael

lets see...keep chipping away at loose mint, moc, and playsets and vehicles.
add to the autograph collection amd sell off the remainder of my modern collection. then eventually display

my new focus, is coming on Droids/ewoks loose figures, got one each and i am getting another 2 for my birthday however my coin focus is at a standstill, after a few leads and a new addition was looking promising, but that seems to have died

I could do witha new moc, but i am gonna wait util memorabilia for that

I totally missed this thread last time too!

I have quite a few goals that are more of a generality. Some are hopefully going to be attainable in the coming year, but some probably are more long term goals.

Here they are in no particular order:

Find a ROTJ Cromalin of a ROTJ Character
Finish my loose set and upgrades (Romba, Luke Stormie, DSD, Pop-Up R2, etc.)
Pick up the last few variants I want (Vinyl Cape Jawa, Brown Snake Yoda)
Pick up a Jar Jar first release first shot (painted or unpainted)
Find a hardcopy and/or unpainted first shot Yavin Luke
Find a hardcopy and/or completed first shot of R3-T7
Pick up some Ewok cartoon animation art and maybe some comic art
Finish my Kenner Rebel Commando MOC run (77B and 79A)
Pick up a PBP Rebel Commando MOC
Get the last POTF Rebel Commando proof I need to finish that run
Find the photo transparencies for the ROTJ of the Tri-Pod Laser Cannon
Add the Kenner and Palitoy versions to the Endor Forest Ranger MIB run

I know it's a lot, but it's always good to have goals!

LL Scouty MOC AFA85... uh huh!

I'm going to display it. Well, partly at least.

Well, the thread title can be interpreted in multiple ways.
