Does anyone collect vintage Star Wars?

If you do buy any carded Star Wars figures just be aware that some of them have been re-carded. There are auctions on e-bay all the time for re-card kits for all of the old Star Wars action figures. I was considering buying a carded figure at one point and saw all of the kits for sale and realized that most of the figures that looked really nice were re-carded.

I bought a lot of them, mostly loose ones but a few carded, about 6-7 years ago in order to re live my childhood. I picked up a lot of the vehicles too, including the Millenium Falcon complete in its Empire Strikes Back box (same one I got when I was 6)! I am only about 5 figures short of the original 85.

I am glad I bought them when I did since prices have gone through the roof since then, thanks to the new movies I think. I usedto buy a lot on the Rebel Scum forums, but can't pay the prices the stuff commands anymore.

Hi Sam

Feel free to PM me with any questions you may have and I will try and help you the best I can.

Check out these websites as well.

Do your homework before you spend any money. Most of the weapons & accessories for these vintage figures have been mass reproduced since most kids lost them. The original weapons & accessories are a key component to buying & selling these figures and can sell for more than the actual figures alone.

Hope this helps. Feel free to PM though if you need more information.
