Modern collection thread

[grinchy]

Thought i'd start of a modern collection thread, feel free to show your modern stuff off here, i know a few of us collect both modern and vintage and after chatting with a fellow member on here we thought we might get this stickied, any chance mods?
Well my daughter left home and off to Uni last year and is really doing well, so that left her room empty, and my wife said i could use her room for a star wars den, so thats what i have done, its a small box room but enough space for me
heres my vintage cabinet

and the rest is all modern

my repainted falcon and x wing

Still tweaking it but i'm happy with where its at so far

 

[grinchy]

forgot one

 

[stratpack]

Great collection Grinchy, that Falcon is a beast!
I like the mix of vintage and modern (and even EP7). Sacrilege to some people on here but I love it! :lol:

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, yeah i love both, didn't know i had so much stuff till it was all out and in the cabinets

 

[chiffy]

Absolutly awesome Grinchmeister! I wish i could use nice looking glass display cabinets in my man loft but the flooring is not as level as id like it to be so they wouldnt be safe. Love the full size helmets, the kids versions look better than rubies most of the time! I might pop up there now and take a few snaps of my **** for yall to peruse but be warned its more like a Wattos junk shop! :lol:

 

[chiffy]

Well here go's nothing! Apologies for all the other non star wars ***** mixed in

 

[Michael Sith]

Grinchy...that looks great on display and your Mrs has got her lounge back :lol: love the mix of modern and vintage.
That falcon is gigantic :!: great weathering job as well ...skills.

Chiffy....some awesome display up in the loft, super display , rancorous is bloody massive, love the lighting as well.
Some memories there as well with the consoles
Vintage goodness abounds 8)

Great idea for a thread thanks for putting it up.

 

[grinchy]

Thanks mate, glad you like the display, and chiffy, just wow! love how its all set out, looks like a cool retro shop space! so many cool goodies, love the vintage displays and the strip lighting is ace, very nice, and lots more vintage goodies to, i did plan on doing a mixed display at first but i quickly ran out of room before i got that far, i'll find a place for it all eventually

 

[Robstyley]

Top notch displays chaps! Chiffy that collection is a beast. Also like the lighting, gives it atmosphere and looks very cool. I am partial to a little modern but mines all packed away at the mo. Vintage has commandeered the display space. Should have more space when I move so may do a separate modern display.

Great idea. I was thinking where I could put pics of my Slave Leia collection...

 

[chiffy]

Well here goes nothing :mrgreen: A bump and a sticky request please any admin passing thru??? Grinchy, just looking at your display again from the original post and it made me all tingly like Garth in Waynes World :lol:

 

[Russ J]

I could only wish for a room of my own to display everything I have ....

Superb displays you guys 8). Well done fella's

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, glad this thread is still around, may have to pm one of the mods to get it stickied

 

[Woolyniner]

Fantastic use of loft space Chiffy, I can see you have been a dedicated collector for years. I like the N64 Pickachu console too.

You are a lucky man Grinchy to have a whole room for star wars, some great modern pieces there.

I'd like to add my support for a sticky modern collectors thread. Being a teacher I now have a nice long summer to mess around with my collection, and I'll put a modern section together for this thread later.

 

[grinchy]

cheers mate, yeah its only a small room but I love it, got the thread stickied guys so feel free to add your own modern collections in here

 

[Woolyniner]

My modern collection is rather small, but for what it is worth, here it is:

I just dabble in it from time to time.

 

[grinchy]

Good things come in small packages mate, love the lando focus, and the rest looks ace to

 

[chiffy]

Love that Lando trilogy card Wooly! The rest of it is **** tho'! Only messin' i aint even got any of them lovely display cabinets so i'm well jel already :lol:

 

[Woolyniner]

Thanks for the kind words folks, but it is is rather small, and the loose a bit pitiful :lol: , but I thought the modern thread needed a bit of love as it can be a bit quiet down here.

 

[grinchy]

Its been busier lately with all the smyths toy store buying, should see some more modern collections hopefully

 

[Russ J]

That's a great little modern collection Wooly,like what my wife says,it's not about the size it's all about how you present it :roll: (fcuking bitch :lol: )

I'll have to take a 'group' photo of my TFA collection of what I have so far,pointless putting up the same individual photos I've put up in the 'latest ' thread...

And I've still to take photos of my other modern collection....shitloads of stuff...not looking forward to that :lol:

 

[grinchy]

git yo finger out and take some pics :lol:
heres a couple more of mine

got this as a gift, don't collect phantom menace stuff usually, but i'll find a place for it

 

[grinchy]

my repainted x wing

close up of the kenny baker R2 figure,

 

[grinchy]

just got this in artfx emperors royal guard with base, for under a tenner, around black series 6 inch scale size

 

[Russ J]

Some cool stuff there Grinchy 8) ....Like the paint job on the X-wing 8)...The curtains look cool as f**k...I remember having some Starwars (New Hope) curtains as a kid,also bedding as well would love to still have them but sadly got binned donkeys years ago

I've got loads of Episode one toys but not the Trade Federation Tank unfortunatly,looks a great piece 8)

 

[grinchy]

Yeah mine got binned to, those where an ebay buy, glad you like the x wing, didn't take long but looks a lot better than plain old white

It does look the ballax mate seriously,very authentic looking

 

[Russ J]

Well I finally got around to taking my Modern Starwars Toys down from the black hole thats called 'The Loft' ....

I started a seperate thread to showcase them but a few good forum members advised me to add my collection to this thread (keeps it all nice,neat and tidy 8) ) so here they are...

The boxes from the loft...

The first lot of figures I took photos of are from Episode 3 Revenge Of The Sith...

The Sneak Preview line (I need R4-G9 to complete this 4 figure line up)

The rest of my Sith line up...

Group shot...

I looked on the Jedibusiness website and there are 68 figures in the Sith 3.75 single line up.I don't have any from number 44 onwards and I am 14 figures missing from numbers 1-44 (this doesn't include the R4-G9 Sneak Preview figure either) :roll: ...I'll slowly (if I can) collect the rest of these figures to make the full line up of 68 standard single 3.75 figures.......

More to follow............

 

[grinchy]

Good start mate, they do have cool looking packaging, not sure on pricing on these but you should be able to find what your missing

 

[Russ J]

There are 2 of them with the '£5 for two' stickers still on them...would you take these stickers off or leave them on ? (I pondered on weather to take them off before the photos)
