Also after I get these I would like to buy some higher end display cases but that is down the road.
Also want them displayed in a very non crowded way.

The 3.75 figures from star wars don't sell at all correct? They resell for like pennies on a dollar. I remember those episode 1 toys. They were all crap to get rid of.
I know what you mean. Once in a while I had up to my attic and try and find things I can sell on the bay so I can get more funds.
It's funny how I have always been able to fund my collecting with the selling of other items i have owned.

I still need grievous! Crap more searching. 
Best way to dump Hasbro modern star wars - church donation, then use them as a tax write off - win-win that way

Hmmm good idea. I might look into this.

Just remember to value them accordingly in order to get an appropriate tax deduction.
Yeah, I have done that many a year. call me a sap, but if you gotta dump your stuff, might as well put a smile on a kid, if even for 5 minutes

I think you got yours from me... Cuz that's exactly what the buyer told me, about searching for it and all.

man you are all over the place with your collection 
as long as you are happy that's all that matters.
as long as you are happy that's all that matters.It's nothing great. I just want to have several statues of characters that were EXTREMELY important to me in my childhood. Characters that not only were heros of mine or helped shape my movie fandom but have, for me, stood the test of time. Menaing I still love the films and the characters. I want what is, again for me, the best representation of those characters or of the the film. I want pieces that I won't sell regardless how the value might go up.
I decided this a couple of years ago when I found myself buying items and never being 100% happy with a purchase. NOW that is not to say I did not think the statue was awesome. I thought the Punisher and Spidey comiquettes were some of the best SS has ever done. But while I like the characters, I don't love them. I loved the statues of them but because they did not shape my childhood and remain with me into adulthood I wanted the $$ more then the statues. Then there was the Darth Vader and Fett PFs. Great pieces of great characters. Characters that I love but not my fav. characters in those films. There were many many more. I just decided it was time for emotional quality over "looks cool" quantity.
I have my JAWS / Bruce NTT maquette to represent my fav. film of all time. I would like one day to add quints boat the ORCA.
I have the Indiana Jones TOD PF. Now while not as iconic as the ROTLA the paint apps on my TOD PF are AMAZING. Add to that the fact that it actually TOD that made me a CRAZY Indiana Jones fan. I saw that film in theaters when I was thirteen yrs of age. The perfect film for a young male teen. I also feel the film is underrated and by far the best of the Indy sequals
I have the Conan the Barbarian PF. This film probably impacted me more then any other film ever. I was obsessed with it. It is my fav. production designed film of all time. Ron Cobb did amazing work designing that world. The Atlantean Sword is my all time fav film prop (have that also) I got into all the comics for about eight years and the Original Soundtrack is still my 1st or 2nd fav album of all time.
Now I have C-3PO and R2 - D2 pfs on order. R2 is my fav. character from the films and they both are by far, for me, the best representation of those films. I mean I was a child of the 70's so of course I was attracted to the child frindly droids. But man their image was everywhere. I still love them and never understand the hate that 3PO gets from some.
The Hulk Maquette - I have had several Hulks in my days. All great but none perfect. The Hulk was, along with Batman, my first comics. I also grew up with the show. I love his design and the fact that all of this power is in the mind of a child. The Maquette while not comic based looks like the perfect representation of him. I have sold all my other hulks to get ready for this guys release.
The Joker and Batman PFs - Had the comics as a child. I remember finding strange that the comics were so dark and sort of scary when I was use to the 60's tv show reruns. Batman and Joker are Iconic and still capture my imagination to this day.
And finally I am thinking of getting the LOTR Gollum PF. I am having a hard time pulling the trigger on this due to the fact that I did not come to these films until my adult age. They are the only new films that remind me of the films of my childhood. I think Gollum, holding the ring up, best represents the feel and tone of the films. It is also my fav shot from the three movies.
My God I am sorry for how long reply became. I hope it makes sense. I have been thinking of this for some time. Trying to figure out how I want to make the room look. Guess I got caught up in my dreams while writing this
Almost forgot I have a 1964 godzilla Model. Godzilla was by far my biggest childhood hero. Still love him and now so do my kids!!!
Ha, yeah probably. It did come from NJ. Really enjoying it.
man you are all over the place with your collection
All over the place?? In what way? Just wondering. Is it becasue it's not all SW or LOTR or what not. In that way yes. But as for things I love I think it is very focused. But perhaps you mean something else. Not insulted just curious.
Well put JAWS. I too collect items from movies I think of classics and feel you are very focused. More so than me, that's for sure.
I was confused for many years but have now seen the light.

Great read, thanks for sharing!
More and more I find myself adopting the same mentality toward collecting.
