i'm working on an eighties shelf to but need more goodies for that, heman, ateam etc

I've thought about doing something similar - got my Happy days annual and Fonz doll that really needs some display space. Trouble is I know if a set some space aside I'll go nuts and start collecting other things from the 70's and 80's. Bionic man would be something I would love to get back into, he was my fav pre SW toy.
 
Yeah its knowing when to quit, i to have that problem, :D fonz and happy days, cool, that the mego figure?, theres so many things to choose from, especially for just one shelf, maybe i should quit before i end up with another display case full of goodies
 
well i got a nice fathers day prezzie

What a cracking present, great figure and the card it's on is so clean and bold - love it

Got a nice addition to my growing R2 focus. One of my favourite figures, love the play value with all the accessories it comes with

Awesome gents and i only need that vader to complete my silver run but everytime i see it on ebay i cant help but think the saber will get broke in the post :(
 
I was worried about that,it is a daft way to design a figures packaging with the blade out like that, but the seller boxed it up well and it got here fine
i need the clone and stormy to complete the silver fig line, i have them loose but after carded.
Good luck on finding your own vader
 
Heres my modern focus.. so far.. really feels good to decide on one modern range, I had stuff from all over the place, but have moved that on. Now I feel cleansed that my madness has been refined. (this is not the display, its the collection)

Mint condition cookie jar, £24 at a boot fair this morning! It pretty impressive (vintage see-threepio in the pic for scale)
Big piece that I bought for my brother as a gift, but now its home... looks too good in the den as a display piece to pass on...oops!
 
I don't do modern anymore. At the moment, space is a premium at home with a little one on the way but we are planning a move to somewhere bigger in a year to 18 months and I have been promised a man room.

Seeing some of the stuff you guys have picked up really makes me think there is some modern bits that look great on display. That c3po is awesome.

Thanks guys, certainly stands out in the Den!
 
Love that 3PO

Couple of recent pickups -

Han and Luke 6" Was chuffed to find these in my local toy shop - still no sign of Boba though

Dagobah R2 - really delighted with this MOC. Honestly been after him for years but was holding out for one with a nice mud paint job, seen some horrors completely covered from top to bottom in thick mud but this one looks like the picture on the card.
