Hey Ed!
Thanks mate, appreciate it
I don't have the raider any more, it was an almost complete reseal with tape and when I was having a look at it the tape one day it just came away on one side so it was practically open
He's hard to find, going to have to have some luck to get him or save up a bit!

Had a few minutes to change up the display today, just the top shelf really and the stack is increasing a bit, I reckon I could fill a decent sized wall with this lot now if they were all in acrylic - one day 
(The Ewok has acrylic to make Pete smile )
Really like mixing up the top shelf of Tris - it's just fun to do every few weeks

Isn't there a danger of the bubbles of the MOCs in that stack getting crushed Jo?
Not unless someone punches them from the top :lol:
All the weight is evenly distributed on the three figures in each row, and the bubbles are protected by the card above them, actually it's the figures that are the heaviest part of each MOC and not even they weigh a lot.
Damage can occur from stacked star cases because the cases can "imprint" the card under the stress but it's gotta be a pretty big stack to do so. I also heard once that someone
with a stack of acrylic cases had a bunch of the ones at the bottom shatter but again -that's more the weight of acrylic not the actual MOC, crisp packets weigh more than Vintage MOC :lol:

nice stack joe.
when you have a wall they will look great

Yep think I know what you mean, I have been meaning to check through actually and see which cards are stronger than others or have a curve to them so I can stack them nice and safely.
I scuffed another ****** on a ****** oscar case earlier this week so I am glad I keep most of them out of star cases / acrylic till I can buy some well made ones from Christian. :evil:

Very nice Joe.
Love how you've nailed the rug and table to the wall too! Or is that a Romanian custom?

Wow Joe- look brilliant mate- you have adde some great items since the last time I checked your thread. Can we have some numbers- how many to go? Are you going for variants- I can see two imperial commanders
Thanks for sharing dude

Thanks guys 
As for what's in the pictures - There are I think 42 pictured with 2 doubles (Imp commander & Wicket) which I received in bulk buys etc, my aim this year is to get to 50, I think it's a decent pace (probably quite fast for me- not really big on rushing with collecting it's just the way things happened) and I hope to complete the set in 2-3 years in total, with the obvious exceptions - Jawa, Fett, Madine.
I do really like Trilogo variants but so far I am not buying variants and accumulating doubles if I can help it, I do that with my 8D8 focus so I can concentrate on one characters variations. I haven't the money or the space to buy and store 2-3 MOC of each character! However when buying figures I either try to get a variant (like Clipper or a bubble variation) or a more common version in really nice condition.
I really want to make a start on the SW figures, I only have LXW at the moment! Oh and Pete, I need just 2 to complete the ROTJ run, Boushh and Paploo but do want to upgrade some like my Ackbar and Leia Poncho

Was almost a complete reseal mate, here are some pictures:
*Edit they were huge lol*
After inspecting the taped up areas and damage it was clear it couldn't really be considered a sealed figure and it fell out anyways lol
