Howdy fellow Vintage Star Wars collectors,

I'm Chancellor_Peter from the Rebel Scum forums signing up in this forum thanks to Shawn K's invitation (some months ago Looking forward to interact with fellow collectors of the Vintage Kenner STAR WARS toyline, esp those who collects the 1985 Vintage POTF aluminium Collectors Coin.

Hi Peter

I recognise you from RS, good to see you here and still collecting!

Any limelight to show us of your stuff?

Thanks for the welcome Joe, another familiar name

Yes I'm still collecting Vintage Star Wars, albeit at a slower pace. I just need 2 to 3 more Mint In Box Vehicles and Playsets and I'm done for my RETURN OF THE JEDI Collection. Here is a sample pic of my "Class of 1980" Vintage Kenner THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK collection ...





and the ocassional photography that I do with my loose Vintage Star Wars figure and their corresponding Vintage POTF Collector's Coin

Wow nice !

That's the definition of mint right there!

I think I recall you giving me a lesson on photography on RS many years ago after I blinded everyone with my pictures full of flash lol

Thanks Joe Most of them are back in storage now at the moment. My current focus is more on props and costuming as you can see I'm actually the Sandtrooper running across the beach on my Avatar picture.

Really? Let me recall were you the one who took picture of his Vintage Star Wars loose Ewok figure collection?

LOL! Nobody forgets the Ewoks *guilty of an Ewok collection*

Shhh Peter I don't want everyone to know

Welcome to TIG, Peter I love your 'class of 1980' photo, and that's a great sandtrooper costume too! You might like to check out this recent thread for props and replicas:

Enjoy your stay here

Are you in K.L? The sample pic is rather impressive. Hopefully soon your collection comes back out of storage & we can see what other goodies you have

Note : All original Ewok bows and no repros in this picture.

Thank you for the welcome "Artoo_Detour" aka Paul. Thanks for the compliments on my Class of 1980 photo group and Sandtrooper suit. The latter is still in progress as my next item to complete its the Desert Backpack worn the Sandtrooper Officer (played by Anthony Forrest), but I'm getting there alright.

Ah good to know there there is this SW props and replica's,are there any other collectors here on the board beside me? thread here. I'll check it out.

You wouldn't be related to Artoo-Defour as shown here : http://www.flickr.com/photos/carbon_copies/4846271189/sizes/m/in/photostream would you?

AussieJames, another RebelScummer! Yes I'm based in KL and thanks for your kind words. I really hope so given time as due to shifting back in late 2006 many things have been packed up in storage.

Joe, James and Paul, I invite you to head over to view my new post at the Limelighting section :

THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK inspired action figure photography =)

DarthStanley, thank you for the welcome. Glad that you like the pictures of my TESB boxed vehicles and playsets. Everything you see in ungraded because I don't believe in that stuff that takes the fun out of Vintage Star Wars collecting - that's just my personal stand on this matter.

I have seen the video of your impressively displayed Vintage Star Wars collection that you've posted up in YouTube at : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZDb_lRnJeQ

I will view it from time to time to draw inspiration on how I ought to set up permanent displays to showcase my Vintage Star Wars collection pieces

Jay, thanks for your kind words and the url link to the photography techniques thread. I'll certainly visit this thread, and whenever time permits, elaborate on the methods that I've used to take pictures of my collection, brief movie scenes and Action Figure-Vehicle-Playset vignettes.

Dr Dengar (interesting forum ID, btw!) appreciate your welcome message. I have another set, also inspired by THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK, which is in the works. This will be a compilation of the scenes where Han Solo went riding off into the sub-zero freezing temperatures of Hoth searching for Luke Skywalker. Moreover this photoset will also demonstrate how nicely the modern Hasbro action figure accessories go together with the Vintage Kenner Star Wars line. Here is a teaser picture of my forthcoming photo set



"....as it runs, the Tauntaun's legs kick up large clouds of snow and ice into the snowy air."

Hi Peter,

Interesting cliff hanger, can't wait to see Han cutting Taun Taun's belly with Luke's lightsaber.

Do you also collect modern stuff? There is a small thread hidden in TIG's Outer Rim to show off your modern stuff as well.

Hey Peter! nice to see you here

Dr Dengar, yes a cliff hanger very like those old school B&W Flash Gordon serials. I will post my pictures up on my THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK inspired action figure photography =) thread after the picture are ready and the "movie-like" lightsaber effects have been added to enhance their presentation. The ambience of this forthcoming photo set will be made to match the evening skies of Hoth's freezing outdoors when Han Solo's search and rescue mission took place.

Yes I do collect the modern Hasbro offerings on a selective basis. They serve a specific purpose for my Vintage Star Wars photo sets - background characters in the Mos Eisley Cantina, guards & aliens in Jabba's Palace and obscure Droids that are seen in Episodes IV to VI. Oh yes there are also characters from the Anchorhead deleted scenes such as Fixer, Camie and Biggs Darklighter plus Luke's T-16 Incom Skyhopper. Thanks for that url link to the modern Hasbro section this forum. It appears that it is not as prominent as in good o' Rebel Scum forums.

WOW!!!! ........ forget l'oreaal products for men and all that anti aging cream (hmm there's a thought, would rubbing vintage items in anti aging cream help keep the in good shape???) I've just lost 30 years with one click of a mouse!!! seeing that ESB pic has me feeling like an 8 yr old again.... "I want, i want i want...and i want it NOW" ..... Peter I salute you! and all the other minters out there.
absolutely stunning stuff

Thanks for the welcome burnsys. Your vision of the future is strong in the Force, as I'll be taking pictures of my boxed Vintage Kenner RETURN OF THE JEDI collection, in the near future. At the meantime, do enjoy my viewing my present EMPIRE STRIKES BACK collection pieces.

You're welcome Glen. I'm glad to have helped bring you back to the point of time when you were an 8 year old looking at those fabulous EMPIRE STRIKES BACK items that used to adorn the shelves of your local toy shop / toys department.

Fellow TIG forumers, you can also view some of my earlier pictures - scanned pictures of my boxed Vintage STAR WARS collection. Just click onto the image of my 1979 Kenner Special Offer STAR WARS Action Display Stand here :



and you will be taken to my earlier RebelScum forum thread, inwhich I shared my pictures with the active RS community circa late 2003.
