Restoring an old MASK Boulder Hill play set. Got a reproduction sticker kit coming for it. Seller forgot to pack 2 pieces so I'm waiting for those too.
I had ones of these back in the 80s. My kids will have fun playing with it. (I will too, again!)

Mask was such a fun cartoon back in the day!!

How much are the small Star Wars figures worth? Pretty sure I have some packed away. And likely a whole box of GI joe

 

[v1pe]

As if you need anything else to collect, Jim!

Cool SW figures though, I'm a big SW fan!

 

[FDLmold]

Have a shit ton of these for sale. I should post some pics.

One snap before I retire for the day.

I have a good buddy that collects those. Closest I get is Luke Skywalker in Popy and Takara packaging

@joker80 and @FDLmold: If you're ever interested in selling, send me pics. I'm always buying collections. But beyond that, if you just want someone to spot check what you have, to give you a rough appraisal and to tell you what to look for in terms of variants that often go under the radar, happy to help with that as well!

I was into Major Matt Mason and GI Joe action figures when I was a kid -- awesome accessories! The only thing I still have from childhood (that's action figure related), is a Space 1999 Eagle playset with a 2 foot long Eagle and some figures. When Star Wars came out I bought and built every model kit they had at the time, but no action figures. Still buy some SciFi & WWII plane model kits from time to time. I now have "essential tremor" in my right hand so it can be very frustrating to build kits but I still like it. As far as favorite toys go, SSP Smash up Derby cars and Evel Knievel Stunt Bike were the frickin' bomb!

Pics borrowed from internet -- just for reference.

Dark lord of the with with a broken saber and missing his cape. Standard Kenner version. Saber can fetch $10, figure is worth about $3.

I have like 4 boxes of Star Wars POTF figures I have no idea what to do with. I wish I still had all the OG stuff from when I was a kid.

First thing to do is to make sure you don't have any of the weird obscure rare ones. Short saber in a long tray, Freeze frame sand trooper and wee quay, etc....

And after that? It's up to you, but I keep them handy and whenever friends with little kids come by, I let them open up a few. I've also gathered together sets of 10-20 and donated them to Toys for Tots. Pure and simple, the vast majority aren't worth what you paid for them. And at this rate, they never will be. They just got massively overproduce and fans that were starved for new material bought them up in droves.

 

[FDLmold]

Anybody want to buy these from me before I send them off to Fee-Bay?

I have 11 more photos. I doubt I have ALL the accessories. For example I only have two straps for the four M-16s. But I have more accessories for these than just about any eBay auction I've seen, except the ones where the figs are still in their original packaging.

 

[Teach42]

OH man, those are awesome!!!

 

[FDLmold]

OH man, those are awesome!!!

I agree! I am the original owner. These may have been purchased in the USA or England, my guess is England, but there is no text on the figures to indicate that. I played with them lightly.

Best I can tell from eBay sales histories, and considering my accessories, there's about a $100 bill here. Time to move on, A-Team!

Cool docuseries on Netflix called "The Toys That Made Us". They dedicate a show to Star Wars, GI Joe, Transformers, Masters of the Universe and more. I thought it was cool, my wife fell asleep almost immediately.

I will have to watch that. I had ALL of those. Plus some Stompers. Now that I think about it, I still HAVE all of those. Divesting has been slow...

@nitzilla has first dibs on these. Yes I luckboxed into the first gen 1980s GI Joes.

 

[Darthhoodie]

The 1st episode is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

The star wars episode was great, same with the transformers.

Never saw this thread before, but my new Star Wars room has been finished for a few weeks now. I'll post some pictures later.

Teaser pic:

96 square feet of pegboard, with space to grow. Those are 10" hooks with multiples on all, including the large figures, there are 14, you just can't see them all...

Thanks, yep, GG Jumbo figures

I had one of those Darth Vader cases. Jeez, that was a LONG time ago. Mine were beat to hell. I loved those action figures and accessories.

I found this in my storage room over the weekend.
