@hellhippie - congrats on the latest variants!

@arohk - congrats on those Imperial army builders!

@broke - echoing the same as others here, it's your stuff so enjoy how you want. Imo best to keep sealed stuff sealed. Further down the line these things will only become more scarce and valuable.

@trappedtexan - Bryan, the book is by Mark Bellomo and is an excellent coffee-table guide that's perfect for starters rather than seasoned collectors. It's very well written and packed full of amazing toy photos. It gives a lot of back story on the characters too. I've just finished reading up to the ESB section. A very nice and well put together book.

More shelving. To "staff" my new acquisitions I have incoming: 1 Boba Fett, 3 Jawa, 1 R5-D4, 1 C3PO, 1 Obi Wan, 1 Tusken Raider and 1 AT-ST driver

Lookin good

@Broke -- Looks AWESOME!

Looking good. That land of the jawas playset is one of the coolest sets in my opinion. I think it's the escape pod part that just made the playset so cool.

I got most of my figures in today. I think it makes the playset look awesome:

Looks good , vintage usually does

Broke,

Congrats on all of your latest pick ups... Display is looking awesome!!

Nice Pick-ups Broke, looks great.

This seems like an every few days post for me. I have a Speeder Bike incoming. Now I need the Scout

Added this cool Harbert Remote R2 ad from Italy, 1979




A German Kenner model kit ad. It says: "Hello craft fans" 1979




A UK Helix stationery competition ad.



And some more UK Marvel Star Wars Weekly added to the run

Awesome new paper items Paul.
Love that german ad

Added another C-3PO and 3 Jawa to my Jawa playset. I have a luke incoming today to add to it. And this Scout Biker for when the bike actually gets here:

I've finished the Jawa playset:








My other display that contains Star Wars, Battlestar Galactica and The Black Hole:

Sweet

Well done Broke
Looks great

Took delivery of this fine specimen yesterday.  One of my favorite figures.

Awesome stuff lately.

Broke, the shelves are getting full, gonna add some more??

Schwartz that is a nice looking snowtrooper. You leaving it in the case or freeing him?

I don't think I can add any more shelves. The last one was pushing it.

Thanks Tex- I do plan on leaving him in the Case. I do like loose figures and still have some I purchased in the early 90's.

Where do you stand on Graded/cased figures? I am curious and would value your opinion.

I open graded figures because i always just collected loose

I am not a fan of graded mainly because of the grades themselves. Seems they are oddly different from time to time. I have seen figures graded high that weren't good and some graded low that were good, wrong accessories, fake accessories, etc.. I do own one graded item which is a top toys stormtrooper and that is because in the market at the time I got it for less than what a non graded one was selling for.
