inadvertent imitation,

I would imagine that this would be fine if the case is not stored in a hot or humid place.  But moreover what in the world are you doing by not displaying these gems

I bought those C-3PO and Vader carrying cases that were exclusive to Wal-Mart recently and have decided to store my vintage figures in them.

My question is, is that good for the vintage figures long-term? I just don't want to end up with discolored figures later on since I have put a lot of cash into updating my vintage collection.

Thanks and other love.

Guys,

Thanks for the support.  I went the cheap route on my collection and bought some complete figures and some figures with no weapons and than bought lots of weapons to complete my figures.

The later was both educational and frustrating.  I consider myself darn near an expert on the repro weapon issue so if anyone needs some input let me know.  I had to earn the knowledge!  Dale can probably remember one of my first threads, a panicked one as I bought a lot of figures and something like 35 out of 40 had repro weapons !

2/3 of my collection was purchased from a great guy named Randy from the old Google Boards.  I bough in three lots and he sold each figures to me as a lot price of $2-$3 each including some POTF figures!  All were in C9-C10 shape.  I don't know what I would do without that deal.

All in all it was fun!  I have a total of 17 variations and will keep my eye out for more.  Personally I like the OT movies a lot more that the PT movies and there is so much sentimental attachment to this line for me.  So much so that I sold all my modern stuff and all I collect is the following:

Vintage
Rebel Storm Miniatures
Kubricks
Clone Wars
Code 3 Mini Poster Line

Gregorbian,

My advice to you would be patient, if you can to get those pieces at a price where you would have to donate a body part.

Cheers,

DBK

Anthony,

Good for you.  So are you complete on the 100?

To this point I got an imperial gunner for $20 w/o gun from a collectors shop and I think I got a decent deal on (all loose) a Yak Face, Imperial Dignatary, A-wing pilot, Imperial Gunner, pristine Y-wing, Falcon, Snow Speeder, Ewok Glider, Ewok catapult, Imperial Troop Trasport, 2 Endor Forest Ranger mini-rigs, desert skimmer and about 15 misc non POTF figures with accessories for $300.

The Phoenix run was fun while it lasted .

We'll heres to next year.  They better find a way to resign Joe Johnson .

I just placed my order !

IMO, these are just too cool to pass up.  Cost first than space are the major factors in my decision to collect a line.  Cost on these are high however these are "too cool fo school" and are small enough to display such historical recreations.

firesidecollectibles still has the first 3 up for pre-order for $65.00 each. 

Regards,

DBK

Thanks for the input fellas.  So far I like the way the reviews are written at DVD Talk and the upcoming list seems complete so I will stay informed on dvds.

Adam,

Thanks for sharing nice collection.  I really like the vintage Death Star, and all those Tusken Raiders!  Do you got a hollow cheeks one for trade ?
