My collection room-work in progress

Wow James you have tons of stuff there mate.

Some of those ships look in awesome condition as well!

Are they all your figure variants and cardbacks in the starcases?

This is my childhood collection:

I caught the 'variation bug' 2 years ago when I started collecting again. I store them like this:

Most of my mint vehicles are boxed:



There are so many different collecting paths- loose figures, cardbacks, coins, MOCs,MISBs etc. One day I might stay focused, in the mean time I will keep hoarding "tons of stuff"

Excuse the pictures Most of my MOCs:



I recently "finished" collecting all the movie debut cardbacks, here are the Star Wars ones:


I am still missing Greedo on an offerless 20 back, as a child he was also the last figure I got.

This is probably the "holy grail" of my collection. It is a New Zealand version of the Toltoys Death Star. The box differs from the Australian version in that it is in 2 pieces like a boardgame and the instructions & the "we really do care" have an Auckland address.
LLs:

Bloody Hell James your MOC collection and LL figures are coming along nicely mate!

Some nice Tri Logos in there as well

Where did you get the starcase for that Mecanno Jawa? mine wont fit into a standard starcase

Jay

A standard starcase modified like this

Nice James, you have such a good variety of vintage figures!

I like your growing Ledy collection!

Best part for me is the crash landed X-Wing on top of the Dagobah playset!

That's a realy nice collection you have there james. Do you have all the loose figurins stored in star cases like the logray ones. I think it's cool

Nice collection you "Idiot" (no offense, only for insiders )


Like your "clean" storage. Nothing for me....I have to check them out at every time...opening star caese is nothing for me. But it looks cool and is a better storage then mine....like just laying around

keep up the good work!!


Growing ledy collection, ha???


Greetings to a place as far as it could be in the world (from here)!!

Well Wollf I think there are alot of L.L.'s in Jay's collection. But now I only got 4. Like you my friend.

Is Ledy the new black!? It seems very popular!

Is everyone going for a set of loose figures?

I dont know but the prices seems to affirm this. A LL bib fortuna grey cape for over 100 bucks....yieks!! I paid less then 30 and it WAS AFA graded ( I freed it )

I collect LL since three years! At the beginning I only wanted the biker, red bib, and jawa! I got them these days for prices today sombody would kill for it!

wolff

52!!!!! wow!

Would love to see your ledy set Wolff!

Perhaps when you have the time we can see a group shot of ALL your figures, or is there not a lens big enough to capture them all ?

You have your fingers in all the pies James

A dark road coin collecting only the fittest most dedicate peeps make it to the end good luck on your quest buddy!

Nice collection James. Way to go on the Cat 1 and 2 coins. Your almost there with those. Are you planning to go further after that?

"Are you planning to go further.." No, but I also said I wouldn't collect MOCs ps. I have Logray & Mil. Falcon already so ...
EDIT: Logray arrived today

I'll have to check thru my doubles James. I may have the odd one of the ones you need mate. Not sure, & i know some i won't have for sure, but i reckon i should have 1 or 2....????

you've got a lot of stuff aussie. I need to get a few vehicles added to my collection. I've still got my DV tie fighter and at-at from back in the day, picked up a boxed at-at and at-st, but I still want some mo'. I like the variations, Leia Hoth is one of my favorites too.

Great collection James
