You could buy the 6 rubbermaid storage containers of just about every figure and vehicle released from 1995 to 2005. Honestly, the stuff is dirt cheap on ebay these days. I didn't even bother selling it.

People seem to be under the misconception that Star Wars toys are worth bank when they aren't. Yes there are rarities, defects, and earlybirds, but for the most part, you can have a VERY decent and somewhat complete collection for a few hundred bucks.

The only thing that will break the bank for you is if you try to build a vintage carded collection.

Yeah, the thing about the Star Wars series is that even the most minor characters end up getting multiple releases.

Is it worth collecting Star wars then? If you are looking for moneary value, then do not collect toys at all. Anyway, www.sirstevesguide.com and www.rebelscum.com are two good SW sites that i used to frequent.

I pretty much cut my Star wars collecting down to near nothing. I'm selling everything I have with the exception of the new Vintage figures and the 30th Anniversary Wave. It's too much to keep up with and like someone said it's not like they're worth some great amount of money.

I think the answer lies with an experienced SW lover like me. Just wondering If someone could tell me how I could start a Star Wars collection? There are numerous options, it just depends on if you wanna collect just a certain group of SW items, or if you wanna [try to] collect all the SW items, if you do, want the whole collection then start with either trading cards, action figures, games, or something small, then work your way up to the advanced stuff.

You need to define what and who you want to coolecct...figures or cards...original episodes or alternate universe

I remember when I was around 5, I had sooooooooo many of those Star Wars toys. I LOVED the Shadow of the Empire Series. I looked and looked and looked for years for Dash Rendar and finally found him in a toy story that sold old and new toys.
I am thinking of starting it up again

If anyone is interested, I've got some packaged figures from several series that I want to get rid of. Sned me a message or email me at wtsheldon@yahoo.com I'll put them on ebay after Wednesday, April 23 if no one has contacted me. I'm looking to sell them for $2-4 each.

Just wondering If someone could tell me how I could start a Star Wars collection? My question is what kind of Star Wars collection? Toys, props, statues, busts, toothbrushes, etc. Lucasfilm licenses out the product name for anything they can make a buck on. I got out of collecting those Star Wars action figures as soon as the POTF2 line ended and I couldn't have been happier. I unloaded those figures on the cheap (regretting ever spending money on those). I took a hit, but with whatever I made I started buying my first Premium Format statues (and a 1:1 Yoda Bust) from Sideshow Collectibles. Eventually, I delved into the Star Wars prop replica line when Master Replicas had the license. I haven't regretted that decision to get into that aspect, but thats just me.

The Evolution sets are good for getting primary characters. the Sith set is awesome.
