Re: Does anyone out there have the full set??
Using that image of all the figures, and at a rough count from memory, I'd say I'm about 18 sort of a full set ... although I have managed to later pick up a couple of the missing ones second-hand without accessories.
I've been thinking of selling all my figures (3 3/4" and 12") and vehicles (except the MicroMachine ones and a few special ones) for a few years now, but never actually had enough time to get around to doing anything about it.

A Paploo and Lumat short of completing SW,ESB and ROTJ set. Not keen on POTF as don't like the cards. Seriously thinking about starting to get rest kit sets to restore them. Beggars Canyon store on eBay do seriously quality work with very accurate bubbles and rooters. Still at $10 US a kit not cheap.

I've just taken the step into collecting the Vintage figures. I have a few loose figures on their way from an ebay seller to start me off.
I'm really looking forward to hunting them down.

Re: Does anyone out there have the full set??
I sold my vintage figures for a song a few years back and used to money to buy new figures.
"Heretic!" I hear you shout.
The thing for me is, the nostalgia for my old figures is not what has me in this hobby. I've been ruthless in flogging of or tearing apart my old toys for parts and don't hold them in any hallowed esteem at all. I'm after the best possible sculpts for displaying in dioramas, so the vintage figures just don't fit what I am looking for. I'm happy to leave that to vintage devotees to do well and can appreciate the beauty of their collections - it's just not what I want or do.

Hasbro are certainly getting better at the sculpting of the figures and making the vehicles, but even the original releases beat those hopeless dark days of the muscle-bound wrestling versions.
Okey-dokey. $200,000 for the lot, and I'll make sure I rip all the stickers off first and melt a few figures.AaronDB94 wrote:If you looking to sell any vintage figure send me through a list....I will buy them sight unseen

No props or costumes. Just a lot of figures, vehicles, etc.

Re: Does anyone out there have the full set??
yup I am going for a full set too. about 11 to go most of them of course are the bloody power of the bloody force ones. I'm not looking to get a mint set or anything repro weapons are fine by me! but it's nice to have a cabinet full of the suckers. If non-SW fans are appreciative of the pop culture value of full set
