Hey fellas. I've been absent from here alot lately. And it's been for a really awesome reason. My wife Sari and I boughht our first house on June 18th. It's been just over a month of moving and unpacking and getting the old apartment cleaned out and squared away. Fun times. I decided to snap some pics of my collection room. It's a work in progress, but I couldn't wait to post pics anymore. There's not alot of SW as I've toned back the collecting of vintage way back. I'm more into comics and comics collectables lately.

Here's a pic of the house a few days before we took posession.

Here's a better view of the poll. I have to get the sign fixed so it will stay on.

Knowing how long you've waited to get your own place it must feel great to finally move in & set up home.
We've never believed the 'story' that the Barbie's are Sari's Razz

Thanks guys. We're pretty stoked about having our own place. I wiould have snapped pics of other parts of the house to show off but we're still setting up. What a long tireing process.

Paul the Thomas curtins were there when we moved in. The room I'm in was the previoous owners childs room. I'm going to get Sari to make me some Captain America curtins soon to replace them. they do fit right in though.

Congrats on your house purchase Paul! I'll never forget buying our first house, it was a mix of sheer excitement and complete terror. But the freedom you get from finally owning your own 4 walls is pretty damn cool, especially when your collection can finally find a place to be proudly displayed.

After another look I have a question. What line is the big green Hulk in the back right corner? *Looking at the pic
I like the look of that guy.
The display rack really is a neat piece. Sure looks great loaded up with a few comics. Really like the look of that. Cool
