they said that they are meant to be £10, but the packs are faded and creased, and people think that £8.50 is too much. I'd buy them if i had the money!!!

My Star Wars collection, while safe now, kind of took a beating when I was young due to the fact I played with the toys. For example, I learnt the X-Wing doesn't actually fly......
Oh and also the figures stand up unaided in water, only problem is the paint starts to come off over time.

Must have the only Darth Vader who's going grey :)

They sound like they have no idea of what they are doing. They could sell orginal 1977 figures for over £10 in non packaging and still get people/collectors to buy them as for ones in packages even if they are faded they could still sell for a fair price.

If you have the money for them why not, either that or try selling them to a shop that deals in Sci-Fi memorabilia

The bloke bought them cheap off someone, now they are clogging up the back of the shop.

I was too young for the Job, but they said they would keep me on the records for Spar. At least its better than bloody Stermat, where i used to work!

Obviously you never collected Star Wars toys. The Falcon was THE toy to own. I never could afford it but I knew people who did have it. Obviously the bloke who did the PC case mod used to be into Star Wars toys as well and fancied a bit of nostalgia.


I once had one, when i was 8. Since then i've grown out of plastic spaceships.

MacGlumpher, are you by any chance gay? you seem to want a website (who appear to predominatly be male) to 'love' you!
