Hey fellas. I was fixing up my SW display today and realized that I've been doing this bootleg thing for about a year now. So I snapped some new pics of the collection to post up. As always I apologize for the crappy pics and sometimes not showing everything off as well as it should. If I was as fussy with pics as I'd like to be I'd never get one of these things posted.

Here's a pic from about a year ago. A few Mexis from Joe Ys Christmas Blowout. Along with a couple of other "friends" who sold me stuff when they should have been tryng to talk me out of these things. Bastards!!!!


Here's a "group" shot of all the boots.


My Mexis. With My favorite Dutch Vader in the backround. And my Uzay Vader looking lonely off to one side on the left.


More Mexis along with some Polish and a Pink Russian Bossk.


More Polish. I didn't realize I had gotten so many articulated Polish of various Gens till I set them up today. These things build up on ya. Like fungus.

I love how colorful a shelf full of bootlegs looks. It's like looking at a regular SW collection while tripping on acid.

The collection's shaping up nicely! Looking forward to seeing it continue to grow.

Collection looks great Paul! I love the unart black Chewie and the sliver & gold Stormtroopers! The rest look awesome also. I didn't know you had the bagged Mexis in there.

Keep it up!

Awesome stuff man! That bagged Snowtrooper looks familiar . You have 6 more on the way... I sent you a PM on RS regarding another I threw in.

Good job!

Just a bump to show the new display.

awesomazing!

i just love the ugly of it.. deeply!

Looks great man! I need to get mine in line and displayed properly. No fun having them in acrylic cases... Need me some of those Mexi 3PO's and 2-1B's also!

Great display Paul and your collection has grown very fast
The last time i saw that much uglynes in one place was when i looked at pictures of my ex girl friends

My x-girlfriends looked better than that

Nice to see the dutch Vader has gotten a better home and is in its right element

Great display!!

Cool stuff Paul, you've been busy! I like the improvised risers. Some crazy figures there, the Barada looks vicious! Even more than the production one who looks mean enough!
Great bootlegs

Wout- The ugly is the appeal of it. Kinda like an ugly girl. You want to look away but kepp looking and thinking "What the hell is that??" That's so mean but couldn't help it. Sorry.

Dallas- Stop being so lazy. Get those boots out and display them in all their glory.

Soren- The collection has grown really quick. Burn those pictures.

Kaze- The Dutch Vader is one of my favorites. Thanks again. Keep an eye out for the 3PO and Chewie.

Paul- The risers are just some foam from some shipping boxs that came into work one day. The brown Barada does look really mean doesn't it.

OOOOOOH. I didn't realize that . Maybe some of my Danish friends can keep their eyes peeled for some for me.

i Use to own the Chewie . But sold it , The buyer had been looking for it for 10 years . So it is very hard to find.
I have the Vader 3op and Storm tropper from the same lot . I got mine from a friend that got them in Spain when he was a kid.

I have never seen them i Denmark besides that.

But i can't find the story about the R2 here. But im shure i read it here

Ok now that I see the pic I remember seeing the Trooper now. But hadn't clued in there was an R2.

Yr1977- I think the Weequay is somewhat common. I've been told the unpainted 3PO doesn't come up very often.

Oh cool, yea ima keep my eye out for some. I really like to unpainted figures.

Unpainted versions of any of the Mex/SA's are uncommon, however, the gray 3-PO is especially rare. It's an unpainted version of the chrome 3PO w/ red eyes... which a painted one is even hard to find these days. There is also a gold painted 3PO in which the unpainted version is yellow. The other two gold 3POs are gold plastic. Here are some samples:

How much do the unpainted ones sell for??

Love 'em Rebo! I've been trying to nab a 3PO and 2-1B for a while. I've got some bagged/carded 3PO's coming but no loose. Those are fantastic! I really dig the matte finish with red eyes

Thanks for the info Steven. I never own anything rare so I think that's kinda cool. I want a yellow unpainted one and a silver painted one now. Big surprise there huh?

Hi Paul,

Sofar I have only seen your bootlegs in the 'latest purchases' thread.

It is great to see them all together now in this nice display. Keep it going!

My personal top-5:
Zuckuss
Bossk
AT AT driver (black + yellow)
Chewie with cape
Admiral Ackbar, man he looks cool in his silver suit!

Wow. Those are awesome. It's funny how they released that chewbacca you have there with a cape. I am digging what I think is a gold Imperial Gunner near your vader. The dutch vader is cool as well. Good luck on expanding. Thanks for sharing.

That Uzay Vader is a beauty! But I love that Dutch Vader for its incredible craziness too.

Thanks JesseVader08. Glad to see another Canuk here. You're in B.C.?
