my star wars mancave,

[grinchy]

So while i love Trek, i don't buy the collectibles only the blurays and dvds, i have been buying star wars stuff for the past twenty years or so, and have a room dedicated to the collection

I have the trees up year round, christmas and star wars just goes together well i feel

[grinchy]

Impressive! My minuscule collection includes some action figures from my childhood, a broken (but original) Tie-Figher, and an R2-D2 egg timer/salt and pepper set. LOL..

 

[grinchy]

Sounds like a cool collection, we all have to start somewhere, my own collecting started with me getting my childhood figures back, it grew from one small cabinet to the room

 

[Moist_Cake]

That is epic. Wow.

 

[grinchy]

cheers glad you like it, would love to see other peoples collections, is there a trek collecting thread?

One of the worst decisions in my childhood was selling my Star Wars and GI Joe collections for $50 and Lazer Tag set. I had the cardboard Sears Mos Eisley set that came with the blue Snaggletooth and every original figure except the last series.

 

[grinchy]

That is a shame, i gave mine to a cousin, who i'm happy to say had most of it when he gave it back years later, blue snag goes for a pretty penny these days, never had him

I wish I still had stuff from my childhood…

You know, when it comes to collections, I've come to the age where I'm having to look around and decide what I want to do with things. I have a vast collection of ball caps and a small, but rare collection of cameras. Then I have odds and ends of things like TONS of CDs and a few boxes of books and comic books.

My brother, who is 16 years older, has a vast collection of cameras, guitars, antique firearms and typewriters.. Yes, Typewriters..

at 51, I've decided to start de-cluttering. The cameras will stay because they are really used more a decor now (especially since film processing is SO expensive. But I have no need for three dozen ball caps. Or the childhood toys I had saved for my own kids to use and who are now too old for toys. I guess I've decided that there are fewer days ahead than there are behind, and if something happens, I don't want my kids to have to be burdened with sifting through my stuff.

I DO wish I had done more SW/ST collecting when I was younger. Something like Grincy's well-organized display area would be easy to maintain and clean up. But Most of my stuff sits in a closet in boxes.

Sorry.. Didn't mean to be a debbie downer. LOL

Sounds like you have some interesting collections, i can understand the need to declutter, before i had the room my stuff was just in boxes in the loft space, glad to have it all out on display, looks a lot better than piles of boxes, i also collect blurays and dvds, i have a few hundred in cabinets around the house, your not being down, no worries there

Nice collection. I too have been doing a lot of purging over the past five years. Other than the movies, primarily all I collect any more are the Art of Star Wars books. Most everything else is digital purchases. In a 1900 sqft home with a wife, a 2 year old and a dog, my collecting days are behind me… at least for the moment.
