Vintage Collectibles Thread

The neat thing abut vint. SW is you can literally see how toys evolved from the late 70s into the early 80s.

And 90's!

Yeah, where did you get those? They do look great.

I keep my eyes open for risers but I have no idea where to buy them...

Does anyone know of a place to get vintage figure cases to display a bunch ?

I was hoping for something similar to this one :

But my dealer went out of business.

Any help is appreciated.

One option.

Thanks bro. It is smaller than the one I had but I may see what I can do.

I loved that one. But like you, $500+ shipped is really killing it !

And 90's!

I almost hate myself for buying any of those 90's figures... no, actually i do hate myself for it. What a waste of time and money... what were we all thinking???

Honestly, at the time, I liked them a lot. I was never a hardcore Star Wars collector, so I didn't go beyond the first few waves, but I thought they were pretty great updates, and despite their flaws, felt like better quality toys than the Toy Biz Marvel junk I was also collecting at the time.

On a related note, anyone else read this before? I think it's a pretty damn enjoyable read:

I fell victim to this line too. Took a bath when I sold it all back on eBay. Not as bad as money I lost on McFarlane stuff. Both took a lot of my hard earned money in the late 90's.

Either of these would be just amazing:

Yeah, while nostalgia pulls me towards the bubble style case I think I prefer the yellow, which matches the yellow used on the back of SW cards to display the entire collection circa ROTJ, more. It looks super clean, and not as tacky.

I have around five new figures coming in a week or so! Down to 25...

I know at $500 I can't do it.

 

[Nintenjoe]

[jimjimmyjones85]

I really like the yellow one! Saw sombody who had there SW guys on yellow shelves once and looked just like a vintage cardback. If I ever wind up being a completist I may have to look into those.
