Grinchys vintage collection, small but growing

Hey, i have been collecting around 7 years or so, first a loose collection along with some MOC, i don't have any focus, i just collect what i fancy, i have a few last seventeen to pick up to complete my loose set, and i'm sure i'll get them all eventually.
I recently changed our small bedroom into my star wars den, i collect both modern and vintage, but i'll keep the modern stuff out the pics if i can
my latest purchase vintage jedi curtains

great collection, a nice mixture of minty looking loose figures, MOCs, vehicles and boxed items, well done
congrats on the latest pickups, those boxes look in fantastic condition.
is the Rancor a Palitoy figure? He may have a U.K coo stamp under his armpit.

Thanks, i am pleased that i'm slowly building up my vintage collection, the Rancor has a kenner COO under the armpit, so not sure, still learning in this cool hobby

Very nice collection Ian. I have to admit that I'm quiet envious of those of you that have the space to display your collections. Unfortunately mine is contained in storage boxes.

Man I always love staring at cabinets loaded with that magic vintage stuff.

Great collection Ian and thanks for sharing with us!

What would be your top3 of things on your current wish list?

Thanks, yeah vintage stuff displays so well, glad you like it
Wishlist? h'mmn i'd have to say a complete jabba with box, a y wing again with box and a VCJ, not terribly exciting but a small part of my extensive wishlist

nice new additions , keep em coming

Really nice collection

cheers everyone, I have a couple new additions, first up is a modern redo of a vintage classic, the shuttle, never had this as a kid, glad I managed to snag the modern redo

Ian great additions mate Thanks for posting

I love that 49p sticker on the glider, them where the days

Cheers, yeah I remember the stuff being on clearance at woolworths, wish i'd have bought more and kept it, hindsight its a lovely thing

Ian, those are a couple of great new additions.

Great additions Ian. I've got two versions of the modern Imperial Shuttle (MISB) so it's nice to see what it actually looks like. Maybe I should open one & get some enjoyment from it. 

thanks guys, and hey Steve I love the shuttle, its a massive cool toy, looks great on display, be a bit nervous opening a minty sealed one though now the prices are pretty high for boxed, post pics if you ever do bust it out

Ian, do you know whether the Saga (blue box) & Legacy (with Vader & ERG) edditions are the same? I'd rather open the Legacy version.

Hey Steve, not sure on that mate, I would assume they were the same apart from the lack of figures, but i'd hate to be giving wrong info out
heres the thread with my prop work on it nico

Cheers Ian, I doubt I'd loose much value by opening one (as I bought them new), besides it would be interesting to compare it to my vintage example.

AWESOME STUFF IAN! GLAD YOU STUFF IS BEING SHOWCASED HERE

YOU STILL SCULPTING? YOU GOT A SHOWCASE ON TTX1 BUD?

Cheers Chris
still making stuff yeah, not doing a lot at the moment due to illness, and I have a thread on here link in my last post,

My understanding is that all the shuttles are based on the vintage sculpt, with a few small variations in decos. Not sure if the modern ones have sound either.

Ian

Yeah they don't have sound, still have the flip down rear section, but no battery compartment

Ahhh, so it is like the POTF2 A-Wing in that regard.

I had a boxed Saga one, but sold it a year ago. Never had an open one, so I regret that.
