I'd start there. Looks like there are a few guides available. I'm more of a GI JOE guy, so I can't offer much else. Are you a member of any online communities devoted to collecting Star Wars?

Too bad you didn't want 90s stuff. I have tons of that. Just bought SotE Slave I last week. $10. Oh yeah...still have Outrider with Dash Rendar back at my mom's house.

thanks for the info there guys, still looking at where to get starteed, think if i get any of the 90s stuff the mrs will go spare, untill ive got all the early stuff anyway.
any of the forum out there any good for this kinda stuff?

Are you looking for plastic model kits or just toys?

Yes, please clarify. Do you mean the ERTL models or the Kenner toys?

FML, I had a ton of the Star Wars stuff when I was a kid - the Transporter ship thing that flies from Hoth after the Ion cannon shot, an X-Wing, all the character figures, all sorts. I dread to think what they would be worth now. My mum gave them to a local charity shop along with my 2nd Ed Epic Ork army many years ago...

i was looking to get hold of the action figures, the ready assembled ones. think its the kenner toys

Hi! I've been trying to find some plastic model kits of "SW". I have a little collection and I want to replenish it. By the way, I've found nothing on eBay :( Does anybody know some sites where it's possible to order?

Your best bet is Ebay. I would say flea markets to but your in Ukraine. Modify your search to cover world wide?

Have a look on the rebelscum forum, that's a good resource for all SW collecting

I've found this site, did anybody use it? I didn't find exactly SW models but probably they are some tailor-made. If someone knows, help me please with a piece of advice.

geeze I got a basement of the old crap toys some still with boxes my brother was into it when it came out. The only ones I recall ever playing with or using was the 4 leggs walker thingy and the bigfoot guy oh and the guy with a jetpack whose missle thing shoots. All from the first line since he is like 40 now. Same as the orginal gijoe stuff and He-man or how ever he spelt his name.

Still have the 2 tigers and most of the characters and the two play sets skull mountain and castle greyskull... I think it is called. The best toys I ever owned was from I think the late 80's early 90's they where tiny little monsters with like guns for arms and stuff and where in a single pose and are hard plastic. I have no idea what they are called but they lastered from my brother to me to my kids and are still in great shape lol
