Well, the Falcon, X-wing, Speeder bike and vintage chaps are all mine.
All the modern stuff is little Choppers. These pics don't do this lot justice, especially as you nee to appreciate the Falcon is over a meter long.
I have a couple of other pics I'll post over in Dio's I think. Well, Eddie? Show us yours then

Very nice, that Falcon is something to behold in the flesh. Though its not the vintage one which is just all kinds of
. Nice to see some clones too.

The new Falcon is plenty
for me
I prefer it over the original. The Gunship as massive too, but the Falcon makes everything look small. My son has expressed a desire to get an Imperial Star Destroyer for his clones. Now THAT would be cool

The AT-TE is a good buy too, they were £50 over here at one point but I missed out on that bargain. My biggest grip with the new Falcon is its too big for most people to 'fly' round the room which as a kid I did with my vintage Falcon all the time.

Nice collection Chop'
& the nice thing is it gets played with, not just kept M.I.B. rotting in display cases.
Is that a vintage "micro" Snowspeeder? V
indeed!

I just put the Stormtrooper there by accident like that one day, it was like it was destined to do that
I'm more an OT kinda guy while my son is a clone wars fanatic. I'd be more interested in an AT-AT ODB, Young feller is keen on the AT-TE tho. I'm big enough to fly the Falcon around, but it kills my arms after a bit.

I think they may be cheap in toys r us again odb. I think they were about £60 in the meadowhall one when I w as there. I was tempted. I like the huge tank! Would look awesome in red, and would squash the atc!
