I love that display and your collection .very clean and focused.

I think you like this link http://www.icollector.com/COMPLETE-SET-16-STAR-WARS-ESB-3-PACKS-AFA-85_i8178702

When you get two of the ones with the white Bespin guard i like to buy one of them

Ps. What is that framed on the fire place ?

Hi Soren, thanks for the kind comments. I have seen that link before. I believe it was a set compiled by Tom Derby and I think I know who bought it in the end. As for the Bespin Alliance set with the white bespin guard, it is one of the rarest sets to get hold of. I have never seen one come up for sale so the chances of me ever owning 2 or slim to nil. The cost of that set is astronomical. If however I do get hold of one some day and I look to pass it on, I know where you are and it would look great in your awesome WBG focus. :wink:

The framed picture is a poster created for me by Ryan (Bluedog) and contains the complete 3 pack run. I love it! Thanks Ryan!! 8)

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Iain Im working on it buddy but its very tricky. Its now a case of one or two sets a year Im afraid so I have to be patient. It may be Jan/ Feb until I finish paying off the set Im getting next.

Still, itll be worth the wait and I have plenty of stuff around the house to be getting on with.

That looks mint Chris, a lot of thought gone in to that m8 I can tell & it shows, excellent display 8)

 

[jedi_masters]

That looks wicked Chris, very good use of an unusual wasted space in the house. Well done.

 

[maniac79]

Seconded, nice work.

 

[Mr Kenner]

Your collection looks great Chris. Nice use of yellow for the backdrop to the 3 Packs.

Wow! What a knock out display Chris, you should be really proud of what you have created there mate. It looks Fetting great. Glad to see they made the move saftely and are on display already- it's taken me 8 months and most of my stuff is still in boxes :roll:

When you come visit you can bring your paint brush :lol:

I can see a few strategic spaces there so I look forward to seeing them become occupied :wink:

Awesome update buddy, congrats!

Chris that display looks fantastic. I really like the unclutterdness of your 3 pack focus. I really enjoy following your limelight, keep it up

 

[tundra9]

That looks quite nice Chris, but you need to get more of them!!!

 

[jackabina]

when i saw yellow paint, i thought :|
i was wrong. looks fantastic buddy. have you got another alcove on the other side of the fire place?

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks alot guys there have been some really nice comments here and I appreciate you taking the time to post.

To answer one or two questions:

The is not another alcove the same the other side of the fireplace. I can see what the angle there is though. It would be cool to eventually have a mirror image the other side if there was one but I think in order to fill it it might take 5-10 years. There are enough gaps in the current display to allow me to fill them in the next couple of years. There is at least enough space for 4 more sets.

In case anyone was wondering/ concerned the fireplace is dormant and not intended for use. :wink:

With regards to the yellow paint I admit it was a fairly bold move but I wanted to pick out the yellow from the word Special on the packaging and utilise that as a backdrop. That way the black boxes would really separate them selves from the back ground. I hope it has paid off. I am happy with it.

Tundra9 - Unfortunately these things dont grow on trees buddy otherwise I would have more. I am a firm believer that "Good things come to those who wait." Just as well really as I will have to get used to waiting. :lol:

Looks classy, Chris. 8)

 

[BlueDog]

That looks sweet as Chris! Such a classy display and yeah I too was a but worried when I saw the yellow at first but you pulled it off nicely, great use of an unusual space.

You won't be thanking me for that poster after years of staring at it reminding you of the three packs your yet to buy :lol:

Your welcome bud, looks great in that frame.

Cheers Ryan

 

[Caswellbot]

Thanks Josh. 8)

Ryan - dont worry mate I dont get bored of staring at that poster. I love it. As has been said many times on these boards in the past completion can sometimes be a bad thing. The whole time you are in search, you are engaged and excited. As soon as you complete a run it can sometimes leave a bit of a void. Sure it can be filled by going on a tangent or collecting something completely different but at the moment the thrill is very much in the chase. :wink:
