Cool; nice to see vintage collecting alive and well in NZ.

I might be able to help you out here, oota goota.

Nice vintage collections everyone, great to see so much interest still for this line. For me I have a complete loose collection with what I would call all the major variations plus a few minor ones. There's still one or two figures I would like to add but I'm in no rush, when the right deal comes along I'll pick them up then.

I only have a handful of carded vintage figures and will be selling a couple of those off soon to fund some other items. Well, really to repay my savings account that I recently dipped into!

Colour me jealous Matt, love the pics of the the NZ Toltoys Death Star. Would love to add either that or the Aussie version to my collection if I could find one with a halfway decent box. Oh, out of curiousity, I was looking at the link with the images of your collection. Would that R5-D4 be a 21 back version? Great items, and really well photographed too!

I'd love to get a (Toltoys) box too...mine's just loose. This vid might interest you...it's of the stand we did at a convention last year - Death Star display shows up at 1m34s ...

Yes, it's on a 21B back.

That is without exception the most beautiful way to display that playset I have ever seen It's also the reason I'm chasing a boxed version, I just don't have the room to display it assembled like that!

After discovering my old vintage figure collection tucked away in mums attic I started a recard project in 2008. Today I have finally completed the first 79 firgures, all loveingly restored and recarded (and labelled back of card as such). It's been an utter joy rediscovering these vintage relics from my youth and I hope to get to a point in the future where I can place them individually in display cases and have them on display in a perfect "man cave".

I'm tossing up whether to go the vinatge POTF range but am undecided at this point. I never found that packing had the same appeal as the movie vintage cards. I might look to seek orignal figure variants on re-released alternate cards.
