Ah, but are you certain that they weren't duplicates but in fact... variants?

I'm not a fanatical collector of variants, but as you can see I do have kept some of the major ones...like the different colours of Luke's hair/light sabers & the different heads of the Imperial Commanders.

No sorry I meant I ended up with 2 Gamorrean guards, 4 Darth Vaders, 2 IG 88's etc.

Sounds fair. I have 4 Vaders (1 vintage, 1 POTF and 2 modern). Actually one was liberated from its MOC prison by my son. Got 4 Obi Wans too. I think that should be mandatory. ;-)

I really wish my figures were in much better condition my AF/ Joe collection looks better in comparison although some have broken thumbs or legs and parts glued back on.

:lol:
:baron2: "Witness the heating power of this plumbed in & fully operational Gas Boiler!"

If only, if we have a sudden cold snap over the weekend we're doomed!

Some one's supposed to be coming on Monday to fit it, but I'm not holding out much hope..we have 3 brand spanking new radiators sitting in the garage @ the moment, 2 of them are going back as they're too short, literally a case of 3rd time lucky....also, what seems like enough piping to get the gas delivered direct from Russia, I could recreate a 'Millennium Falcons flight into the Death Star' R.O.T.J. type Diorama with it I suppose. :-D
