LAST UPDATE - 5/30/05.  One of those collections that I have way more than I can ever hope to display is Star Wars.  I've bought way too much of the stuff over the years, although I've gotten much, much better in the last couple.

And so my Star Wars display is pretty light, containing mostly sixth scale stuff.  I actually have a complete boxed collection of 12" Star Wars, but all of that is in storage.  Most of what's in the room is the loose stuff, bought as seconds, especially on sale.

This first shelf is first because I shot it before removing the figures and using it for something new.  That's a sure sign I've beaten the bug on one particular collection - when it starts losing shelf space.  You might notice some of these figures on other shelves in other shots though, since some of them were just too cool to end up in a box.

The image in back is a nifty Cheetos display backer from AOTC.  It runs the height of a couple shelves.  I have a ton of advertising stuff for all kinds of licenses, since it's always fascinated me.

I do have one set of shelves dedicated to the 3 3/4" lines of old and new.  I don't buy much vintage, but what I do have is sprinkled through out the newer figures on this bookcase.





That's one of those silly early bird specials laying on the floor in front.  I haven't quite figured out what to do with that one yet.  I've only bought the exclusives and the 12" stuff so far for Episode 3, and I'm staying away from everything else.

There's some small areas throughout the room with a handful of other SW items tucked away, like this:



This is the big section of sixth scale stuff, although there's a few other things mixed in.  These figures were all picked up super clearance, since the first one I buy ends up staying boxed.  This is one of those weird completist collections for me.







One of my favorite sixth scale SW figures is the Marmit Boba Fett, so he deserved his own photo:

While I might be doing well with the figures, I'm not doing so well with a couple other areas.  There's these super cool .45 scale sabers from Master Replicas, which I've picked up all of so far...


And then there's those damn mini-busts from Gentle Giant.  I'm missing two in my collection - the regular first Vader (which doesn't pain me too much, since I have the chrome version), and the Red Clonetrooper.  At the current price that he's pulling down, I don't expect to ever add that one to the collection, short of a lottery win.





I have a L shaped bar in my basement, and at the center of this bar, right at the 90 degree angle, is the Cinemacast version of Darth Vader.
