I look forward to the day when your house move is complete as you have been planning it for so long. I can't wait to see the youtube video or gallery of pics with all of your items displayed.

Ian Liston signed my 8x10 AT-AT photos and included his own photos and autographs. He is always very kind :)

Sideshow Darth Vader replacement finally arrived after more than a month. After the first problem with this figure, I was waiting for the replacement hoping it will be in perfect condition. It wasn't in perfect condition alas, but easily fixable though, and this was only because I kept certain parts from the damaged Vader, which I had to destroy: http://www.imperialshipyards.net/SMF/index.php?topic=230.30

The replacement Vader came with a broken ignited saber and the right belt box was unattached. I'm glad I have replacement for both, the saber was saved intentionally but the belt with boxes was among the destroyed parts but got out intact. so my new Vader is fixed with old Vader parts thus I'm not going to ask Sideshow for replacement parts.

As for the figure itself, it is impressive indeed. I like it a lot though I know the cod piece, belt boxes and chestbox could unglue at any time in the future being poorly attached. The next step will be to fix the dome to make it sit better but no flaring it yet.

Glad it worked out Serg. I still get shivers seeing all those destroyed parts!

The items displayed at the new house in the custom made cabinets - temporary display since as I already said many items are still at the apartment where I live now and I'll bring them only when I move next year. But finally I have all the items that were stored in boxes at the new house displayed on the shelves.
















At the apartment where I live for the moment I have most of my Kotobukiya collection, the MR Stormtrooper blaster, MR Emperor's Cane & Clasp, eFX Stormie helmet, a few Medicom Imperials, MR/Riddell scaled stuff, Force FX Vader sabers, the few Hasbro action figures I have, Action Fleet ships, Hot Toys Terminator & Predator figures, Sideshow 1:1 Combat Endoskull, most of my anime figures, etc., etc.

That is for my TV, amplifier and DVD player. But for the AT-AT too. The wheels for this TV stand are brought from Germany, being special made for heavy duty. I asked for special wheels because the AT-AT is very heavy. And the TV stand is very solid too. The LCD TV or the HDTV will stay on top of that stand

The newest acquisition is the Medicom RAH TIE Fighter Pilot, a really cool figure too bad Medicom didn't give him any kind of accessories. Glad I have an extra Sideshow E-11 blaster for him...






I also got "The Winston Effect" book signed by the man himself: Stan Winston. A must have for any Terminator, Predator, Alien, Jurassik Park or special effects fan.

Great scores, The Winston book would be a welcome addition of any fan or the movies or props and to have it as an auto'd edition is killer.
