X-PACK'S collection - September 2015

[Pomse2001]

Hi mate, awesome update. I love your great star wars cave and you display your collection great 8)

 

[x-pack]

Thanks man. It is a bit of a Star Wars cave I'm fairly happy with the way it is now. My only wish is that I had room out of the attic but it seems to be keeping ok up there.

Looks amazing mate, iv got to admit, I regularly visit the thread and notice something diff every time.

Cracking collection, some really nice pieces in there mate, the whole look of if is like some of the guys have said...a toy shop front.

Hats off to you congrats on an awesome corner of the SW universe in sunny Lancs 8)

 

[x-pack]

I keep thinking that I must be the only one in Lancashire. That can't be right. It's not. I bet there are hundreds.

The Mrs is still after that story of local collectors. I just change the subject... :?

 

[PGowdy]

I want that ******* Yoda!! :x
Is the La Guerre Des Étoiles Yoda originally sealed?

Nice collection. 8)

 

[x-pack]

The Meccano Yoda. Bought about 20 years ago in decent nick from a dealer in Blackburn. Over time the bubble gradually started to come away on one side so I decided to reseal it. It was a case of leave it hanging off or tidy it up. Tough call

It's not for sale i'm afraid. One of the reasons is because I have no idea of value. It's possible I would trade it rather than sell 8)

Hats off for an excellent update! Really love the variety and enthusiasm of your display, cracking stuff. If I had the dough, I'd go for ESB cards too - they're so choice. :wink:

Awesome lair of goodies Sir, thanks for sharing.

 

[x-pack]

Thanks Q. I'm looking out for new additions but the remaining cardbacks are getting difficult to find ...mainly because of the cost :wink: Plus, whenever I find something nice on Ebay, other people are bidding! :x How dare they!

:lol:

 

[skywalker]

Very nice mate,, it has a nice cosy feeling.. (if that make's sense)..

 

[x-pack]

Cosy. lol :wink:

Thanks It is kinda cosy up there. I have an image of Star Wars figures gathering round the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate :lol:

 

[Captainsolo1978]

Fantastic collection. Love the French Yoda and Palitoy Han Bespin!

 

[Jedi_june]

Awesome collection, great set up. You a lot of amazing pieces, the ESB cardbacks look sweet it's my fav logo! Must feel great to be able to just chill and enjoy the collection. :mrgreen:

 

[x-pack]

Hi June. Thanks guys. Yeh i'm enjoying the collection immensely at the moment. Slowed down a little bit but still on with restoring a few cardbacks. Doing a Boba Fett ESB back at the moment. Thinking of taking a few shots and posting a tutorial kind of thing.

 

[grinchy]

great collection, so many cool goodies :shock:

 

[x-pack]

Update coming soon. Need to take a few new photos within the next week or so

 

[scott82]

Really nice collection of carded esb figures there mate.

 

[jackabina]

You must be one of the only people I know that enjoys going in the loft :lol:

 

[Jez]

Epic update dude. I haven't been in to your loft since September!
Looks awesome

 

[x-pack]

More to come. Need photos :wink:

 

[Michael Sith]

Great update mate, absolutely love your collection, looks fantastic mate 8)

 

[x-pack]

New photos added Hard work taking half decent shots in an attic

 

[Simply Sci-fi]

Ahh, the attic. There's no better place for a collection. Out of the way of sunlight, burglars and you don't have to explain yourself when you have friends around. It's a place out of the way of the other half where you can commune with your Star Wars side.

You have some great items there and its set out with some real thought and care. It's difficult not to appreciate MOCs in cases displayed like works of art.

I'm aiming for a Star Wars loft of my own, just as soon as I move out of the U.K's crime capital.

Craig.

 

[x-pack]

Nice one Craig. I have to leave the hatch open in summer as it starts to heat up in there. Good air circulation in the attic though. Worth a look at if storage space is an issue

 

[Pomse2001]

Wow nice picture, great update. I love that IG-88 Droids Custom moc, cool stuff :wink:

 

[x-pack]

Cheers. I love that as well. Had a photographer round last night, a mate from the Preston photographic society. He's taken me a load of new shots because I wasn't that happy with these

 

[chazb73]

Looking good Barry - a real treasure trove

 

[bobbybobs]

Nice update mate. Definitely the best looking attic I've ever seen! Well done.

 

[x-pack]

More new shots..

 

[Cazza]

Wow! Don't know where to look as there's so much going on. Notice something new every time I look at the pics! Awesome! 8)
