About Us
Richie’s Sci-Fi Collectables is a small business based in South East London, passionate about all things Doctor Who and Star Wars, with a healthy dose of Star Trek and other TV/Film franchises. We sell a wide range of memorabilia - from action figures and toys to books, media, and unique merchandise - catering to fans and collectors of all ages.
Founded by Richard Allison (aka Richie), an eBay seller for over 25 years, we’ve also been sharing rare finds and sci-fi nostalgia online since 2020 via Instagram and YouTube.
In 2024, we proudly launched our own dedicated website, making it easier than ever for customers to buy from us. You can also find us at Comic Cons and Toy Fairs across the UK, showcasing our growing selection of vintage, retro, and brand-new collectables.
In addition, we’re always looking to buy vintage and retro sci-fi collectables - whether brand new, unused, or in good to very good condition - from single items to job lots or complete collections.
“I have been dealing with Richie's Sci Fi Collectables to sell my late father's Star Trek items. The service has been excellent, very quick response to emails and a good offer for the items I sold. Will definitely use Richie's again with no hesitation.”
