Once again, welcome. I auto embedded this video in the welcome thread. You just take the web address and surround it with the youtube bbc code and you are set.

Great imperial army. How long did it take you to set that up?

Yeah, I watched your video a while ago. It was featured on JTA if I remember correctly. When I saw it for the first time I thought: Wow, what a massive collection! Thanks for joining us here! It's interesting to know how much time you actually put into this Video including all the filming.  I'm currently reorganizing one of my cabinets. Unfortunately my camera broke, but pictures are going to follow soon nevertheless!
It's good to have you and your Imperial army aboard, now!

Salutes from Germany!

So, a real drag. The rights holder for SW music decided that I can't use The Imperial March any more and blocked my video.  :(

Geesh. Can you add something else to it and reload it?

Title: Re: 1000 Imperial Toopers set up in timelapse - UPDATE!
Post by: DarthAnton on April 24, 2020, 10:39:23 AM

Absolutely. Worst case scenario I have a film composer who will score a new an original soundtrack.

The kicker is, I now have written permission from the publishers to use the music for the video. It's the worldwide copyholder that's holding me up. Waiting to see if they'll release the block.

With the way folks all over the world are using whatever music they want too to load up their tic toks and what have you this just makes me do a face palm.

Before I loose myself in any exclamations of happiness on here, I want to thank you for sharing this! This is truly awesome! I'm a loose collector since 2013, but somebody has to open up all the stuff, right? I think this is a one of video - and you & us can now watch it over and over again to enjoy! Man, what a MASSIVE army you got there! This is so good… DH

All hail the Empire!  ()rr

Oh all the vintage carded goodness! LOL, just kidding. I would mainly describe myself as a carded collector, but I do get some stuff to open too. Wow, what a great video.

Off to share. I can't even imagine, even while loose, where you store all those figures!
