New Collection Pictures (Update 29-8-09)

[shawn_k]

I recently posted these pics over at red5aussie and thought I would share them here too. This is a pretty good overview of my collection room.

Here are my loose figure set and coins

This shelf has a vintage shuttle that was given to me by a friend, my Celebration IV medallion set, and some boxed vehicles.

Now here are my 2 Detolfs that I picked up from Ikea a couple months ago. Pics of each shelf below.

Okay top shelf we've got an AT-AT and then the some of my Luke Jedi items. From left to right POTF Luke Jedi Kenner shipping box, MISB Desert Sail Skiff, and Waddingtons puzzle with poster.

Next shelf
Carded: 65A (Blue Saber, Snap Cape, Hong Kong), 65A (Moulded Head, Cape folded in bag, Taiwan, roughly a dozen of these have been reported found), 65B (Taiwan)
Baggie/Loose: ROTJ-h baggie, ESB-h baggie, Hong Kong Blue Saber, Taiwan Moulded head snap cape

Carded: 77A (Taiwan), 79B (Taiwan), Trilogo (Palitoy bubble)
Loose: Taiwan painted face, No Coo, Made in Hong Kong

Now the Mailaway shelf. Whenever I have a little extra cash I have Oscar who runs oscarscases.com make me up a couple of these.

Boba Fett, 4-LOM, Bossk, Survival Kit

Anakin, Emperor, Nien Nunb, Admiral Ackbar

Final 2 shelves have some misc vehicles and the rest of my mailaways which include 12 Action Display Stand, Display Arena, and a Young Jedi Mail Kit with an actual mailed letter not one of the sample ones.

Last is the mailaway figure poster with shelf talker.

I thought I would also add my custom labels for my carded figures. Josh got a kick out of them. I did SKA for Shawn Kemple Authority I use them mainly for informational purpose, so I didn't go as far as making up my own grades or anything like that.

I hope everyone liked the pics and any questions about anything please ask.

Shawn, let me be the first to say: Amazing!

I always liked your mail away focus and the Luke Jedi is a neat character focus!
You have some great items and the SKA made me piss myself!!

I wanted to ask what the labels were from the first glimpse then I saw the close up! Priceless!

And fwiw, you don't need to worry about putting grades on them, everything in your collection is A+!

Joe

My ONLY criticism is that with the boxed vehicles in the display case it looks a little cluttered and you shouldn't let overcrowding detract from that cool and tidy display cabinet if you can afford to! :idea:

Thanks for the comments. I agree about the boxed vehicles. I've been toying with the idea of getting two more Detolfs to help spread those out and give me some more shelves for the Luke Jedi and mailaways. I also have thought about selling them, but I haven't been able to bring myself to do that.

By the way I like your new Avatar. Too bad a POTF 8D8 was never released. I just scored a Droids coin last night. I'm guessing that might have been the coin Kenner would have included had 8D8 been released.

Thanks. I would have to agree. A big thanks again to Adam Burgess and the tutorial he posted.

Even with only 13 left to go I'm thinking it will still be a couple more years. There are roughly 5 that price in the $500-$800 range a piece. As of right now that is quite a bit of money to drop on a coin for me, so it will involve some saving on my part, unless I win the lottery. I'm hoping to add 3 more this year and then try and get to the point of just having those 5 left by the end of next year.

Pure quality...i even love the NES, brings back so many memories of completing mario and megaman.
