Agree with you Bill I would love my Den to look like that too! I think we all probably dream of some place with a basement to do that!

Been looking at the Custom Blade and Hunter (again) and they are truely brilliant too!

Simply amazing, excatly what I would like to achieve in the long run display wise.
Nice to see it all out in the open, couple of velvet ropes and you`d be sorted
The filecard display method behind the figures is clever, better than keeping them in a box.

Right....now I've had time to calm down a bit. I think you have hit the nail on the head there Scoobs. I'm really impressed by most people's collection pics, but every now and then I see something like this. It's very close to what I hope to achieve with my own collection someday too. It's certainly a lot of stuff, but it doesn't look over the top in its scale.

I like the filecard display as well. as Scooby said it's really clever. Like most appealing art forms it's a good idea executed well.

Damn good to have you on board fella.

Very nice.

You are lucky to have the space to properly display it all and I like the way you have all the 'paperwork' displayed too.

One day I wish to have a display like that too.

Good to hear everybody likes the collection. I always wanted to display it properly, so it was neat and as organized as possible. I know there are a lot of people with many more items in their collection than I have, but have everything in disarray. It just doesn't suit me as well as having some level of organization. I do have some space constraints (the room is smaller than it looks in the pictures), but that helps keep the mass of plastic in check.

I used to have a few hundred 25th anniversary figures (both loose and MOC) and ended up selling almost all of them because did not have the space with all of the vintage (and I like the vintage better). I just recycled the funds into some more rare vintage pieces.

I also am a big Star Wars fan, and I used to have a lot of those figures too. I ended up keeping a much smaller amount, but kept a lot of the customs. The crown jewel of the Star Wars collection is a scale-model diorama of the Mos Eisley Cantina that took me 18 months to build. I will see if I can get some pictures of it up today or this weekend.



EDIT: Here's the link for the Mos Eisley Cantina:
