RedDogBlue's Collection

[reddogblues]

Nice to see original, childhood, figures on display next to their MOC counterparts. No amount of old shop stock can replace your own beaters. Not that most of yours look like beaters! I'm sure my Kenobi lost his tip before I'd dropped the bubble!

:lol: They were very well played with - but I did always treat them with respect and was grateful for what I had. But some have fared worse than others, R2 is losing most of his sticker and my favourites (Luke Bespin, Han Hoth) all have paint loss and very loose limbs. Most weapons have been lost through the years also, but I was totally amazed to see Ben still had his saber intact. Also all my old ships got thrown out at some point and I don't have any of those left

Slight cheat this update, as these are photos of me at Christmas in probably 1981 and 1982, opening some lovely Palitoy items, which sadly I don't own any more. But it was cool to see these photos, so thought I would share

Thanks guys - know there are some more Xmas ones at my parent's house, will have a good dig next time I am there

For me, that is what it is all about, building a collection based around the toys I loved so much as a kid

BOOM!
Great update, always nice to re-lay and re-display a collection, especially when it's growing and you invest in more space

Quick update to the collection - added a very nice SW 12 Back A Leia this week. Trying to complete the first 12 on SW cards - which will take a lot of time and saving, but getting there!

Also found another photo of my original collection - Landspeeder toy received Christmas 1983 The Luke sitting in the speeder is the same one I still have now, shown on my First 12 shelf above

Quick update after adding a very nice R2 12 Back - also treated myself to some of the Vintage and Sage collection modern figures. I like having these displayed with the original vintage versions

nice thanks for sharing

Quick update, as have increased my focus of "First 12 on Star Wars Cards" - and have also added a new case for displaying, as I was running out of room fast! Might add another Detolf in time...

 

[reddogblues]

Decided to start putting together a Luke X Wing focus. Would like to add some items, including the X Wing itself, but already starting to take shape with a mix of vintage and modern

 

[Snaketibe]

Looking fantastic! Great update. Thanks for sharing
