I’m thinking about offloading my modern figures, or at least the PT stuff. I saw the VOTC line and realised that I want my MOMCs to have a photo background. It might sound silly but there’s a room in my house that has a green wall, a red wall and a blue wall: it’s just too much. Plus there’s no room for the upcoming ROTS figures.
So I’ve been thinking of slimming down to just the VOTC, some OT POTJ, Saga and OTC cards, and a selection of Vintage figures. I was looking at my 2 vintage Palitoys yesterday when it hit me that after 20+ years they still look better than most of my prequel figures. So I have dreams of a wall of photo-cards and I’m right on the point where I’m going to do it.
I reckon I could get an average of £4 a figure so that would leave me with around £1200 to spend on vintage. Let’s say C9 late ESB, ROTJ and Tri-logo Palitoys average out at £40 a pop, well that would give me 30 vintage, the 12 VOTCs, and a few other OT characters. To my mind that would make a much better display than having “wallpaper” where you can’t see your figures for the sea of red, blue and green.
Now, how much will it hurt? This is a tough question. Last year I offloaded 200 loose modern figures and I didn’t miss them…still don’t. But back them I knew I still had my MOMCs, and this time I won’t have that psychological cushion. All that time and effort wasted. And the money: selling modern MOCs involves dropping serious cash.
Ack, talked myself out of it now

I find Americans are particularly in need of education rodent-wise.
. The line looks good, but I’m running out of space, so I’m just going to stick with the first issues that I already have.
