Anyone here collect the Star Wars action figures? I collect from POTF2 and up. If you don't collect the figures, what else do you collect if anything?

Cool. How many do you have? I have, well I haven't counted them for a while but it's probably like 450 now. My brother in Law had all the old ones but when he was at college his mother bundled them all up and sold them for 10 bucks!!! :o

I threw them out cause I thought that the PoTF 2 line had SO much more detail, I wasn't too concerned about the value or even my childhood history with them. I totally regret it now. A couple of ships joined them in the trash too :( I should be beaten to a bloody pulp for throwing them away! I should have at least sold them. That way I'd get some cash :)

don't beat yourself up over it Kvan, everybody makes dumb mistakes, just some people make stupider ones, such as in your case:D

Yeah you guys are fast! When I first got here it all the last posts were by TIE Guy, then they were practically all by Darth_Rommel. I'm sure by the time my old decrepit hands finish typing this 5 more new posts will happen on this topic alone :)

5 times, why? What's the point?

I'm saying that 5 more new posts will happen on this thread alone, before I finished typing my post. I used 5 just as a random number....you feeling ok?:)

 Boba Rhett
07-31-2001, 3:52 PM

boba, when you display, do you have special display cases, or do you just put them out? My stuff gets really dusty fast, so i have to keep them in boxes or wrapped up somewhere.
 Tie Guy
07-31-2001, 4:06 PM
#38
Then what's the point of having them if they are all wrapped up? Money?
 FlyBOy
07-31-2001, 4:09 PM
#39
well, i can't display them because they get dusty really fast, so it's just easier to keep them wrapped up. And yes, some(most) stuff is for money(what can i say, i like money)
 Kvan

It's always about money $_$

For most of them, I built large shelves to hold them. For the really expensive ones, I have plastic protective cases.

I'm not sure. It's probably one of the variants or maybe the autographed maul.

Sweet! So you met Ray Park?
My uncle went to the premire of Epi.1(in california) and sat at the table right next to Lucas's. He wouldn't take me though:mad:
 Boba Rhett
07-31-2001, 10:00 PM

WOW! He went to the premire? Did he stand in line to get in? Did he get Lucass' autograph?
 Kvan
07-31-2001, 10:03 PM
#49
No, he didn't get Lucas's autograph :(
I don't think he had to stand in line. He knew he was getting in. He has connections. Unfortunatelly I don't :(

That would be neat, but i doubt Lucas's autograph would be worth much, unless it was on an action figure.
