Episode 1 General Discussion Thread

When Ep 1 came out I was obsessed with battle droids from the time I first saw the trailer. I bought every variant of battle droid I could find and stashed them away. I still enjoy getting those boxes out and looking over them on rainy days. Good stuff

Much the same myself, getting to the carded collection is a little more of a challenge as to were Im storing it but nothing quite like going through them and remembering what one has in the stash lol

Looking back I guess that Episode 1 stuff collecting may become quite rewarding over the next few years.

How exhaustive are the packaging variant listings in the photo archives for Episode I figures? For example, it shows Captain Tarpals with two variants (.0000 & .0100). Aside from these minor number changes the back image looks identical with the same 8 figure assortment pictured. Adi Gallia has a similar assortment but with her added in between Tarpals and Mace to make it a 9-back card. So, does anyone know if Tarpals comes in anything other than the 8-back version? I'm guessing this answer would apply to most/all of the other Episode I figures.

Oh that takes me back to Christmas 99. My late Grandparents bought me Sebulba’s Pod Racer for Christmas.

I made a new post for this a few days ago, but it’s not had a very good response so ill

I’ve recently been looking for a carded Qui-Gon Jinn (Jedi Dual) on eBay, but they seam to be very expensive. I’m looking at around £25-£30 (approx $30-$35USD). Is this right?

I was always under the impression that Episode I figures didn’t hold any value, even 20 years later.

I’m talking about the US carded version as opposed to the multi-lingual European version. They’re a lot cheaper.

I'm seeing the US version on ebay for $10 shipped in good numbers, perhaps its just an issue of supply in the UK? If an international ebay site doesn't have a significant amount of listings for a given figure, even if common, the sellers can - and often do, inflate the prices. Whether a seller can move them at artificially inflated prices is a whole other issue. Most TPM figures are common, because they were overproduced, the few that remain at $15+ often demand a higher price because they weren't easy to come by, like Sio Bibble for example.
