    Hopefully this is posted in the right section.

    I'm looking for an online resource of all of the original OT SW action figures released, I believe they ran from around 1977 to approx 1985. Not the re-issues that they started to put out in in the 90's

    @AndyLGR
    May I recommend Jedi Temple Archives. It's the best resource and website for collectors and has a nice community. They have almost every thing reviewed and catalogued and have good insight into what is coming into the future.

    Andy, if I may ask, are you just getting started in collecting?

    No. I have around 75 figures from when I was kid that I had when they first came out. I wanted to find out what I was missing from the original batch 77-85, as I'd like to look at completing them.

    Ahhh, okay, cool. I enjoy piecing together figures and completing them. Good luck!

    Good luck AndyLGR! I find the best way to complete your list is to win a weapon/accessory lot on Ebay (containing most of what you need). From there, have a reference guide such as what's listed above or a Steve Sansweet catalog of figures like the one I'm using, and piece it together from there! I found it just as exhilarating as getting the figures. All I need is X Wing Luke/Greedo gun for each, Imperial guard staff, Luke ROTJ saber, and 2 1B probe.

    Going through those resource sites its amazing to think how many characters they DIDN'T release back in the day. Looking at all these pictures really gives me a sense of warm nostalgia. Great stuff.
