    Not Mego Vintage Star Wars - collectors forums?

    Guy and gals. I know there are more than a few of us on here that collect vintage Star Wars. Do you use any forums?
    I am aware of the forums at Rebelscum and the only others I have found are these... Star Wars Forum - Vintage Star Wars Collecting Forum - StarWarsForum.co.uk Index page

    I am just wondering really which to sign up to. There is only one Mego forum that it's worth been a member of and thought it might be the same with the Star Wars forums.
    So, who's the bad guys and where do the good guys hang out?

    I think Mego collectors are lucky to have one central forum (and that the forum doesn't have all of the B.S. that many of the forums have). I still have all of the vintage Star Wars toys from when I was a kid, so I've never really looked into collecting them, but if it's anything like G.I. Joe forums, the collectors are probably spread out around the different forums making it difficult to be in touch with the majority of them in just one place.
    Nostalgia just ain’t what it used to be.

    The main one I've visited (and signed up at) is the forum at Rebelscum. It has a vintage section as well as sections covering the newer stuff (I don't visit those ones, only the vintage section). People really seem to know their stuff there and it's usually quite active.

    To be honest; I've quit SW forums.
    They take themselves way too seriously.
    If you don't know the names of all Ewoks, you're not considered a "true fan".

    And once people start collecting autographs of the guy who played the tail of Jabba the Hutt, I'm out of there....

    I wish you good luck in finding a SW forum as "balanced" as the MM.

    And that goes for a Trek forum as well....

    Rebelscum is the big name, it's a pretty intimidating place with a humungous membership. It's a big challenge, they've got every age group over there too.

    The vintage section however, feels like a smaller neighbourhood with nice people. I'm not much of SW guy but I used to like to lurk over there.

    Ewoks? Got it hmmm...
    Ponyboy, Dallas, Darrel, Sodapop, Two-Bit, Steve, & Johnny

    Rebelscum is where I go, but I'm just an outsider and don't use the forum. Mostly just the Vintage reference pages for info on the variant figures and repro-checks.
