Unleashed Stormtrooper, one of the last Stormtrooper items I was missing from my collection, a very underrated line:

That is so cool! I've never seen this before, who makes it?

Also do you only collect Empire stuff? I another thread I saw a nice Obi-Wan LSB I didn't know was out there.

Thanks. That is a Hasbro Unleashed Stormtrooper, really nice.

I indeed collect only Original Trilogy Imperials and Troopers with minor exceptions

Thanks Jay! I intend to have a special display with McQuarrie items, waiting for one more thing to arrive.






BTW for those not knowing what is going on with the Ralph McQuarrie concept Stormtroper with lightsaber and shield:

Thank you. On one hand focusing helps with limited budget and display space, on the other hand I can get really cool items (sometimes quite rare and unknown/niche collectibles) specifically in this focus, by not being distracted by other stuff.

i do have a few questions , if you dont mind..

how long have you been collecting?

and have you ever get bored with some of the collectibles..? if yes, what do you do? i mean do you sell it away? or you just keep on collecting and ignore it?

No problem. I collect since my childhood: miniature cars/diecasts, stamps, African and Asian masks and statues etc. I started collecting SW early 90's, after the anti-communist revolution in my country. Since then I only sold or traded a few things, and those were mostly Prequels stuff. This is because 99% of the time I only buy what I like, and items that I really want to have in my collection. This is one of the most important reasons I very rarely sell or trade my stuff. I collect for myself, not to resell.

There is one thing I learned: you can't own everything, and in fact you shouldn't either (if you think a bit you'll realize the reasons why ). As I said I only get what I really like and what I intend to have in my collection for a loooong time. I'm not a scalper or a flipper and thus I rarely sell or trade items from my collection. Wish you good luck in your collecting and indeed patience, the hunting part is also quite fun too.
