Well, got my first toys for my 7th birthday: X-Wing, R5-D4, Death Star Droid, closely followed by Luke X-wing. Snowspeeder, Boba & Han Hoth followed at Christmas. Ended up with around 25 figures in the end. Sold a handful as a teenager, but thankfully kept most of them + the vehicles (inc Snowspeeder box 
).
Super Star Wars on the SNES rekindled the love and I soon found myself digging out the old figures and starting to collect others, including my first MOC's. This all ground to a halt, mainly due to money (I was spending it all on POTF2!) and space. I stashed them all in my parents' loft, finally retrieving them around 17 years later (a few weeks ago). We've recently moved, and I've finally got room for them. Got myself a cabinet... but still can't fit all my MOC's in
Here are a few pics. It's still a work in progress, so be gentle! I wanted to display my childhood figures along with the later aditions, as these have huge sentimental value. I'm really not sure about the oval stands that came with the Pride Display diorama. Think I'll go with some authentic round ones.
I've recently acquired the following: White Bespin Guard, Hoth Rebel Trooper, New Nien Nunb (mine wasn't a childhood toy and was very battered), Jabba playset (not quite complete), Blue Snaggletooth (came with a repro :evil: ) and an absolutely immaculate fixed-limb Threepio.
I've now got every figure (either loose or carded) apart from a VCJ. I'm not holding my breath on that one. I've decided I want to go with SW and ESB MOC's, preferably Palitoy, as these were what I had when I was a kid. As a result, my Last 17 Tri-Logos and POTF MOC's will be sacrificed. I'll replace them with loose figures. I'll also try to pick up the odd ship/creature here and there, but I'm almost out of space for these!
Any opinions/advice would be really welcome!
