That is an awesome collection. I love the variety and how it's all displayed together. These are my favorite kinds of displays. The odd little bits of modern fit in nicely.

My collection is arranged in strict release order and this is an inspiration to get "un organised". It is just so much more interesting on the eye! Great collection, thanks for sharing.

Yea, E.T and frisbees

This has always been one of my all-time favorite limelights. Not only are the toys great, but the display is really eye catching, and totally conveys the breadth of the hobby.

These types of arrangements look so random and easy to do, but the truth is, every time I try I end up with an incoherent mess. I'm endlessly impressed by the keen eye and talent it takes to pull off this look. It's just killer.

It's always a pleasure to go through these photos...

Who is the gold action figure sitting in the Ewok throne?? What is he from?

bragging rights to the first person to answer this right!

(could this be the start of a new game of detail trivia? hmmm...)

i'd say my collection is also strictly arranged, but under a different set of logics, i guess. which is one fun thing about seeing other people's collections.. you get to see everyone's personal set of logics, and in some cases (pun!) even laws

be sure to share your experiments, i'd love to see!
thanks for the kind words as well

paul, couldn't agree with you more mate thanks!

dr D - thanks, and you bet!

brad - oddball collecting is a virus much like variations or bootlegs. you've been around long enough to get the magnitude of the potential damage. thanks!

Love the new pics. And of all the cool stuff the ones I look at and think "I want them" is the Topps candy heads. I've had a hell of a time trying to get some of them. I always under bid on them. Awesome Wout.

I love the pictures, great collection

copy paste from old first post:



























































-- took some daylight pictures, and cleaned up a little

(fiy
just about any non-sw item you see here is possibly up for a trade
against something that would fit nicely in my sw collection)



















































------------ update feb 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------

state of the union

new pics on page 1!

As always Wout. I'm almost speechless. The colelction has grown quite a bit since the last update. I like seeing a few pieces that were here with me for a bit. Feel a connection there. More on the way soonly.

Great new pictures, wish I had that kind of space

I can keep looking at those pictures over & over again. I appreciate other big collections ie. walls of MOCs, figure focus' etc. But yours is one of those collections that is hard to describe. All I know is I fucking want it. Just the variety alone is fabulous, add to that the quality and you get wow

I think James said it best! Fantastic stuff in there, so much fun to look at.

now, it's been a good while since i last posted anything here.. but at last i feel like i can contribute something worthwhile
a BIG MASSIVE ENORMOUS THANKS to Paul (kisstour) for being so kind to receive and send these items for me!

i expect to be back in museum-mode sometime next summer... behave!

Tippity topp new additions! For sure, one of my all-time fave collections here. So have you got a new display room sorted out at the new home? It's all going to be bubble wrap and cartons for you now lol. Look forward to next summer's update!

Great collection and display mate, loads of cool items I've not seen before.

I actually cried a bit looking at these! One of the best displayed collections I've ever seen and what a diverse selection!! It's like an ode to the 70's! Beautiful!!

Glad to help out Wout. I'm glad the shaved Ewok arrived in one piece.

So much fun to look through! As has been said, the variety and uniqueness of your collection is just amazing. There's just so much to see in your pics!
