I have been away for a while and have not done that many purchases. Special thanks to Secret Santa last year for the mailer bag clipper vader(and the other clipper vader and the luke), really love that one.
Updating shelves after CEII, getting kind of full :PHave to find a place for my other Ahsoka stuff now.
A local toy museum (Museihuset) think it translates too Museum in the house or something like that. It's not a house though, it's a large barn that have been rebuilt into a museum. A bit odd name but they got a lot of toys and it is pretty large. Most stuff is older then my generation though. But I was asked if I wanted to display my collection this summer and I thought why not. I was very precis with the conditions though, no sunlight, heat etc so what was left for me was 3 small cabinetts in the darkest place of the museum but they will do. I was a bit dissapointed that I couldn't display all my figures at first but oh well, in the end I was just picking figures randomly and trying to squish them in between the vehicles. It's not permitted to photograph inside the museum but this is my stuff so the owner didn't complain. The museums location is between Linköping and Borensberg in Sweden.
Here are the stuff on display over summer. Sorry for the blurry mobile pics.
Now when Star Wars is at the museum I filled up the empty space with The Real Ghostbusters, it's my childhood collection. Not anything impressive but I love them
Been a while since I updated anything. I haven't really bought much new stuff lately. This is how it looks like right now. Managed to squeeze in the second cabinet next to the old one.
Quick update
X-Wing not on display anymore but kept the photo anyway.
Not on display anymore but saving the picture here anyway Most of them are sold now :S regret it a bit.

Thank you It's not as large as it have been but I got to keep it under control, I sold a large amount of figures some years back, cutting down on the collection and only keeping the really good ones. Though that was a darn mistake lol. I realize that now. I have been going through what I can to check variations and this is what I decided to keep.

Hi Claes, that is an amazing haul of loose figures to boost your vintage collection. And it came with some surprises too (Ledy R2, PBP Han Hoth), so who knows, maybe there are more precious figures laying on that table. From now on, I would just keep them all and start a variant collection.
Those Golden Girls are damn hot!

Thanks There might be more in the bunch but I think people are a bit tired of checking my figures lol. I am atleast. I got a ledy stormtrooper blaster and a luke bespin with gun ledy too in it.
Yes they are hot in deed lol, I am waiting for the "good side" horse Olympia, I got the accessories today, only horse missing now. Hopefully it turn up in a few days.
I really want to get that darn Ahsoka figure. I never thought it would be this stupidly hard to buy one released in 2011! reminds me of an old Arnold movie. I even did a little tribute to her, since I didn't have much to do today.
And I drew a little avatar as well, doesn't really look like Ahsoka though never been very good at painting.

very nice and diverse collection. As well as the SW I love the MOTU stuff, and in a vampish kind of way I'm strangely bewitched by that Golden Girls purple and black chariot set
The Palitoy X Wing looks super minty white! Very nice. Congrats on a cool display

Thanks I was very happy when I received the chariot and shadow, I was lucky enough to get one via forum. The box was in rather bad shape so I took it out. Dragon queen does sit there now though, not lying down like she does in the picture. With the help from a couple of friends here at tig I now got 3 more figures on the way here
I got 4 x-wings, this is what I would consider the nicest of them, it's to bad with the paint wear on r2d2 but it have kept it's white very good. I am a bit afraid to display it so it's going down in a box again in the next couple of days.

The ''doctors w/o borders'' stage looks great, as well as all the other different lines in your collection.
Well displayedl!

Yea, what a super cool diverse collection. I love all the Star Wars pieces and think the SW comics are a sweet back drop. I am also digging all the others too. Masters of the Universe pieces are awesome and take me back to my childhood : ) GREAT job!!!! -Steve

@Marco and Steve
Thanks! Really glad to hear you like it
I've been trying to get another glass cabinet for over a year now. It's really nice with more display space. Don't have to squeeze the stuff in like I had to do before and the figures got much more individual space making them visible. Feels very refreshing
