Hi everybody, I'm finally making a list of all the accs I need and my wanted to know is it easier for you to just find/buy the missing accs or just wait and find/buy/trade for the whole figure complete? Do you consider filecard complete or how about the original stand? Just some stuff to discuss and I'm curious how other joe collector do there thing, thanks, mark=)

I purchased most of my figures from flea markets, antique shops, and grage sales. The vast majority of them had no accessories. I completed them by buying parts lots. Some of the harder to find parts I purchased specifically. I basically allotted $20 a week towards my vintage Joes. Some weeks I foind nothing, other weeks I did well.

From the collector side, I personally consider all acc and FC complete. But for my own enjoyment I don't care if they have a FC, just all accessories.
I have only bought Joes with all acc and sometimes without FC. |

I usually like to buy complete figures and try to buy the vehicles
With the drivers. Except on some accessions. like my Worms and Ice viper I bought seperetly because they had the hard to finde Parts. I just bought 1985 Snake Eyes for 20 dollars. I just need to get his gun,sword and back pack. Those accessory are very pricy. Last edited by Sherman788; 01-22-2013 at 01:35 AM.. |

As far as completing a figure's accessories goes sometimes I find myself buying the whole figure all over again complete if I can get it for a bit more than what the accessory that I'm missing goes for alone.
When I do this the better looking figure would go in a display case being complete and the other uncomplete figure would be placed in a vehicle or headquarters like the Terror Drome.
