Star Wars Appreciation Thread

77kustoms · 04-15-2012, 09:13 AM

I just got back into collecting the 3.75 line and I am loving it! I originally collected SW figures from The Phantom Menace/ Power of the Force etc and lost interest when I started paying my own rent lol! Now that I have a son and he is taking interest in the stuff I do I figured I would start collecting for him (sureeeee) Any how, anything goes in here, statues, figures, customs, anything Star Wars accepted! Now lets see some pics!!!!

Me First!!!

This thread is a good idea. I'll have to post a few pics of my modest collection as I only starting buying Star Wars guys late last year.

I am pretty much in the same boat. I lucked out and found 4-Lom at target the other day. Classic Bounty hunter line up complete!

I really hope this thread picks up some serious Star Wars collectors and gets extremely popular. I for one think the Star Wars line is incredibly underrated.

I'll start my part off by saying that one of my all time favourites were the Order 66 packs.

I started really collecting Star Wars after these were long gone, but luckily I was able to get the one I really wanted from a Toyfair. The Commander Bow and Darth Vader pack.

I gotta get off my ass and get 4lom and dengar before they disappear. Never seen zuckuss though

I need that droid pack too. Always loved droids, no matter how obscure. I need to look for my POTF monk droid

I purchased most of the BH's last year with the exception of 4Lom and Bossk. My Target had an imperial 3pk marked down to 7.50 so i jumped.
4Lom can easily be picked up on the bay for 10 shipped, pretty sure Zukuss is the same.

I need a Monk droid!!!

Honestly, I don't know why I didn't start buying these guys sooner. I had a fair amount of Action Fleet ships and some of Titanium line but I do enjoy space combat. Maybe it was that the 3-4 figures I bought in the early 2000's around movie releases just weren't very good. Articulation and all that was just meh. The newer stuff is much better.

Side note, I picked up the remote control Republic Fighter Tanks for $20 one clearance today.

I'm loving the Vintage Collection. The figures are mostly pretty good plus they have that classic Kenner packaging.

IG-88 is one of my favorite figs, same with bossk. I loved the imperial pack. Dont you find it odd they would have the snow troopers helmet removable?

It is??? (Runs over to packaging) Wow it is! I always loved the bounty hunter scene in Ep. V, Shadows of the Empire solidified my love. I plan to get every bounty hunter in plastic form to display.

LapuLapu · 04-16-2012, 09:15 AM

I used to collect all the jedi and droids but I put em in a box when we moved and ever since then I cant find em. I have Mara jade and a bounty hunter Chewbacca as well. Man I need to look for those figs lol.

I love that Chewie. I think I will try to update him one day. Part of the Shadows story is him getting a haircut for that look though....I don't know if any recent wookies are less shaggy than the recent Chewies.

LapuLapu · 04-16-2012, 10:12 AM

Ok I guess this goes here , its my buddy's collection.

Whew!

LapuLapu · 04-16-2012, 10:15 AM

Oh I forgot I have these guys.

bmorr · 04-16-2012, 10:17 AM

holy fuck...................thats like the collection I dream of if i ever win the lottery.

77kustoms · 04-16-2012, 10:24 AM

Jaw just went through the floor!

LapuLapu · 04-16-2012, 10:30 AM

I had the same reaction when I first saw his collection , I was like "can u adopt me?"

77kustoms · 04-16-2012, 11:19 AM

CW Maul custom. I still have some touch ups to do and some fine tuning of the head tattoos but all in all I love it.
