Truly spectacular stuff!    I like how you made sure the TV was also showing a scene from Empire as well! Nice touch, but then again.... it's obvious that you have great attention to detail here.  All the scenes set up in front of the backdrops are cool too. I would have to try taking photos of those, at just the right angles. Oh yeah, I would opt to just look at all, and talk about whatever while playing pool myself... which would be cool enough. I still have 88 Star Wars figures and sets of the origianl trading cards. I also have a few of those Star Trek dolls as well. Very nice collection Stefana, ken |

Ok, I've made up my mind. When I die I want to go straight to your basement!  ;D ;D ;D I love the way you've got the Star Wars figures displayed in various scenes from the films. Wow, really cool.  I want to set up something like this once I get a bigger house with a furnished basement. |

HOLY COW! Thats a cool set-up. I absolutely love the dioramas. Vary cool indeed. I have alot of those standees and still have a bunch in their original packages from Frito Lay as my brother-in-law works there. I even have some of the large Frito Lay SW shelving units that they stocked the chips on. Makes for a great display for the toys and provides alot of room. You need one or more of these.  I've never seen anyone else with these for display. Have you? Looks like we have alot in common both in what we collect and how we like to display. Cool stuff, man. |

WHOOOOOLLLY FRIIIIIIGGIN SMOKES!!!!!!!!!!  Are some of those Kenner first series in this pic below? I remember when the figures first came out. I bought and played with mine all those years ago. One action figure was $1.99 at the time. Fantastic Collection, Stefana!  |

Thanks for all your fine comments... Now to answer a few questions... No I haven't ! Wish I had some of those. The standees and all the other promo stuff you see on the walls were provided by my wife, who works at Wal-Mart and saved them all for me. There are Lay's promos as well as some DVD release promos and Hasbro vinyl banners. No they're the "original trilogy" collection...new figures carded on vintage repro cards. But I do have a lot of the original figures (loose) on display and in storage. There you go...    It is actually home-made by yours truly, with my own face and hands molded in plaster (in 1984) mounted on a "box" made of wood, plaster, fabric, etc...and fitted with "scratch built" control boxes made with wathever plastic junk I could find and looked right. I actually kept the face and hands in storage for 13 years and completed the thing when the "special edition" trilogy was released in 1997...I had moved in my first house in '95 and had the space and means to complete it. |

Ok, I've made up my mind. When I die I want to go straight to your basement! ;D ;D ;D ^ OK, I like this line. Stefana, there are no words, simply awesome dude. Christmas '79. I remember my cousin showed up with a 12" action figure of some guy called "Boba Fett". For three days thats all I heard , Boba Fett, Boba Fett and I had no idea who he even was (Empire was still at least 5 months away). Ha, Ha well this thread just reminded me of that. I wonder how many of us are kicking ourselves for not keeping those Star Wars figures we all had... I remember all of the "cool" figures were always sold out in the stores and my mom had to order me a Darth Vader, which took 6-8 weeks to arrive. Good times. |

I have a ton of Star Wars stuff but I don't have anywhere to display it. Most of it is loose but I still have some of the cards and all of their weapons. I even have a little Hasbro promo slip that came with one of the toys that says "Coming this Summer Revenge of the Jedi".

WOW! I love the side panels on that HIC. I have the Illusives HIC and redid the panels but yours look fabulous AND the main lights up! How cool is that?!
I've tried that with the Illusives but it just doesn't work too well.

Very cool. Reminds me of my old place alot.
Say, how many of those auto's can you verify are 100% legit, or did you get them off of ebay?

Like I said; NONE of em are off eBay I would never ever do a stupid thing like that.... Most of em are scored in-person; I've been going to events since 1998. I have met greats like Carrie Fisher, Ron Perlman etc., interviewed people like Billy Dee Williams,got to hang out with the old Battlestar Galactica cast in both England & the Netherlands and worked as a personal assistant for Anthony Daniels at an event last year. One of my best friends works as a freelance journalist and has been to premieres & awardshows for many many years. He has met people like Lucas, Spielberg etc. I think that says enough |
