Bad Toy Hunts in 2023 - When to Walk Away from Vintage Star Wars Deals 

I love making content like this! Subscribe to see more vintage Star Wars content and action figure collecting content!

Oh yesssss! The impulse fever can take hold unless you stay disciplined with your own personal collecting rules. Sometimes it's just not meant to be. Thanks for doing what you do! #greatvideo

I love the video man, as always. It takes a load of willpower to reject an item you so desperately want that's right in front of you. But 5 minutes of quick research can save you money, potential disappointment AND frustration. And I noticed the hat! Lake Louise was my old stomping ground, I used to live in kananaskis Alberta (near Lake Louise). And I proposed to my wife on Coronado beach...small world! Keep rockin TPC!!!

Just what I needed, I can almost never walk away if I see vintage action figures! Great video!

Thank you for another truly enjoyable video! Takes me back to the good old days of going through the Christmas catalogs full of plastic possibilities!

That's funny on your skits of the emperor. "DO IT!"😅

That Jabba Dungeon playset for $450👌 nice. That one is perfect for qualified grading 👍 just get a little catalog booklet. I know it's much more thrilling when you find something right in front of you 😆 Happy hunting brother 😉👊

Love the hat Joey! Lake Louise is beautiful! Great video as usual my friend! It’s always good to know when to walk away!

the hole in the box was talking to you. lol.

Man I'd love to see this guy's shop out there. I'd ask if he has the stuffed ewoks, the send away Anakin from 1983, the 12" C- 3PO, the expanded universe Jedi Leia from 1998, and the farm boy Luke Skywalker with the yellow lightsaber.

Kenny Rogers sang it best, "you've gotta know when to walk away and know when to Run". 💪😉

Another Great video!

Ever since I decided to upgrade my loose fig collection to graded walking away bas become a staple. Some figs I have held look really nice to the naked eye and would be awesome on a shelf but under a jewelers loupe I just didn't think it would grade well. Learn to walk away folks and save for what you really want.

Tip? When looking up ebay prices to get a 'value' on a item? Hit the 'sold and completed' tab..and get to what THEY actually sold for 😉

Great tips Joey !

Its even harder to walk away when its a one of a kind, like a prototype 😢

the jabba the hutt dungeon looks like it's the same crane base as the droid factory.

One notion that I like to keep in mind whether I'm buying vintage Star Wars toys or looking at classic cars, is to purchase the nicest quality piece that you can afford. When it comes to cars, you can spend a lot of money getting something back to "perfect" condition. On the other hand, when it comes to toys, it's only in original condition once. So I always look for the nicest boxes, as that's something that you really can't do anything about. Settling for a piece that is subpar just because it's in front of you is always going to end in regret in my opinion. And purchasing it in as complete as possible condition is always a good move as well. If there's pieces missing, you should consider that it can be more costly to find little bits and pieces than just to buy a complete set up front. I know I've ran into that several times in my collecting history. You would think by now I would know better, but even as recently as this year, I've put myself in that rabbit hole, where I bought a playset that was missing a few bits, and when everything was said and done I ended up spending about $100 more than I should have. Lastly I'm always happy when you point out that any purchase should be compared to current market values. There are so many sellers out there that are asking way too much for their vintage items just because they're vintage. I'm already looking forward to your Hoth Ice Planet playset review - this is a set that I've also been quietly hunting for over the last couple years. Btw- That price on that limited edition Ahsoka Funko Pop was absolutely bonkers. Being that they're only 500 of them though, they probably rarely come up for sale. It might be hard to actually know the market value on something like that. But I know that the price it was being asked was pretty wild, despite its rarity.

I bought my Hoth Ice planet for $300….because it was mint and had a Fedcp price sticker on it….to me that sealed the deal. The extra price was worth it to have that sticker on it….shows it started it’s retail life in So Cal.

there are sellers that sells vintage kenner star wars action figures and playsets in steep prices in fb market place but the condition of those said toys are beater or has seen better days

How great is that In Force Collectables store? Great video. Smart tips shared.

Buy it no do it no so funny im sold 😂

Haha :) "Look at me!" My problem is the exact opposite, I see a GREAT deal, an affordable price, everything's kosher, but I walk away anyway. Dewback w/ box $25 Slave I $15 Snowspeeder $17 and a few others. I know these aren't rare, but passing on these is ridiculous. There's absolutely NO reason to say no on these. I absolutely HATE that about myself. If there's one thing I learned from GQJedi, "DON'T sleep on Kenner". I need to go to Frank & Son. It's probably better I don't, I go nuts and have a heart attack. :) Thanks for the video

I can always walk away if the item is not exactly what I've been looking for. "Close enough" is not going to persuade me.

I have extra cannons for the hoth playset.

ALWAYS... Be ready to walk away. Never fall in love with the item to the point where it dictates the decisions.

Man, I just sold a base to the hoth radar. Lol

Ear tucked

Would love to hear your thoughts on veve 👍

Klaatu...... NikTo..... Army Of Darkness fans holler at me!!

Three figures for cantina? I thought there were 4

Dude your gonna have to go a lever higher if you dont open the boxes just like me X-RAY them to see the contents inside the boxes if its a sketchy buy.?
