Hi everyone. My son and I collect together. It's a nice bonding thing that we both love. I wanted to show some of our collection that we worked hard on putting together.
Thanks for looking : )

Last 17 complete is the first 3 photos and my favorite 3 figures I own is the 4th and final photo.

The figure cases are such an underated display platform, they look great. What backdrop is that?

Thanks James : ) The backdrop comes from my son's 2010 Bespin Cloud Car box. I like it just because it brings me back to Empire. I agree, those figure cases are awesome for display...

congratulation steve, I love the pictures and the background is so cool with those figures, great work

Great work you have done puting this together, i would love to come there myself one day

Thanks again everyone for the kind words. One thing I can say for sure, you are better off buying complete figures because it's a pain to find all the real weapons later on. It took me quite awhile.... Not to mention doing the research to make sure the weapons were real.

Well said, its very true.

Nice set off Last 17 and perfect choice for the other 3. I see you found a DT luke. Nice.

Cheers, Dennis.

Yup. I finally found a decent DT Luke : ) The first few days all I did was stare at him like geek (I was soooo happy). My son did cart wheels : )

nice collection

Very cool collection love it

Oh my gosh! This is a blast from the past. : )

Steve your current limelight only focuses on pre prod pieces, do you still have a production set?

I do still have some loose production pieces. But every piece I have limelighted above, is now gone. I sold every variant, such as my VC Jawas, Blue Snags, Fetts, to concentrate just on my first 12 focus. It's been a long and fun journey. I will be adding 1 new first shot, to my first 12 prototype collection in the next couple of months. It will be the rarest prototype in my collection. -Steve

Only three figures not in your run........which will it be.......................................It doesn't matter because it will be awesome. I look forward to seeing it.

Well Bryan, I had to sell my Engineering Pilot Luke to obtain this first shot. So now, I only have first shots in my first 12 prototype collection. EDIT: I do have a EP Stormtrooper that was kept and will stay in my collection. But I do have 8 first shots, in my first 12 prototype collection, to be exact. The 8th is the mystery piece, that I will announce, once it is paid for. : ) I feel, getting the last 4 first shots, may not be possible. But, we'll see what happens.

So the stormtrooper and luke are moved on to a new home? I am sure it will be worth it for what you are unveiling. So now to figure out how to get what's missing......

Well I know if it's a vader I would offer to help you beat up bill mcbride, but I saw the arms on that guy in Plastic Galaxy, so looks like your out of luck on that.

I misspoke. The Stormtrooper EP is not sold, nor will I be selling it. That was a gift from my good friend James Martin. That will be staying with me.... and it will look nice next to the new first shot I am adding : )

Nice display.looks great with the cloud city backdrop

Daren

haven't received the new piece yet?? I keep checking

Bill, Steve has a new limelight here:

He no longer focuses on production stuff and switched to preproduction. His new limelight is fantastic as it does include a large amount of history with his pieces.

This is such a cool collection to bond over.

My dad has his own personal (non pop culture) collections, but we still talk about collecting in general together!
