Wow Serg. I can see you haven't been idle. I can spot a few new goodies and displays in there. Love that desk area shot.

Off to share. I am also anxious to hear your opinion on the new Stormy armor that eFX showcased during SDCC this year.

Like that helmet vertical banner. It would be cool to see you make a vertical banner like that for use in your signature profile too (580 by 67 are our max dimensions here). You have got to have the best helmet collection out there other than one of the makers themselves!

Some detailed shots of the collectibles I got during this time



A superb rough stunt blaster: RS Prop Masters ESB Replica Stunt Stormtrooper Blaster Limited Run.

From RS Prop Masters Facebook page: The iconic E-11 stunt blaster from ESB, created from the original 'Pugman' blaster, direct lineage, it doesn't get any better. A must for ESB Stormtroopers and Snowtroopers. Limited to 10.

From RS Prop Masters site:

RS Prop Masters ESB Replica Stunt Stormtrooper Blaster Limited Run

Building on the lineage of our suit we are very pleased and excited to offer an exact replica of an original Star Wars Episode IV The Empire Strikes Back background blaster. The blaster was obtained from a private collector, John, AKA Pugman from the Replica Prop Forum. He has supplied the master that came from his original blaster and a mould. This piece is a must for anyone wanting to complete a Stormtrooper as closely as possible to a complete screen used suit.

This piece is a replica that has not subject to a ‘cleaned up’ or any ‘correction’. In this case the blaster has numerous score marks and ‘rough edges’ that were on the original piece as it came to the owner in fantastic condition for an original prop. This piece is not a polished finished piece, it is a background blaster replica.

BTW this is the original screen used blaster it was molded from   - it was also present in this shot:

Uber-accurate Laws AT-AT Driver gray helmet with improved greeblies and stickers (some of the upgrades are missing from the pics here, but you can see them in the overal pics of the collection). A stunning helmet which I'm really glad I managed to get for my collection - Laws rarely makes custom orders. There were some improvements that I did myself making it even more accurate:

TERMINATOR


The HCG Terminator 2 CPU Brain Chip, pretty nice resin piece with light up acrylic tube. There is no comparison with the cool metal and glass Russ Replicas (RB Replicas) version, still I got this one in a good deal.





Comparison between Russ Replicas (RB Replicas) and the Hollywood Collector's Gallery Terminator 2 Brain Chip CPU:










HCG Pros:

- blue light-up display tube (really cool)
- black acrylic base
- cool numbered plaque
- swiveling holder
- low price

HCG Cons:

- CPU chip looks cheap with paint spills and weird gold paint
- resin stand
- acrylic tube
- uncomfortable way of turning the LEDs on/off
- no assembly guide (needed at first for the lights)


RB Pros:

- solid aluminum body
- swiveling aluminum holder
- glass tube
- rubber o-rings
- solid brass CPU chip
- cool plaque
- hex key included

RB Cons:

- no lights
- some of he holder parts could have been more rounded
- high price




Hollywood Collector's Gallery 1:1 Endo arm. Stunning piece! HUGE and heavy, the blue lights really add up to the overall display. Wanted one for years, but never at the high price the Sideshow version was going for (the Sideshow Endoarm didn't have lights and clear tube). This thing is so big it barely fit on my shelf. But is fantastic!

Star Wars Chronicles 1st edition. Such a fantastic book, it is HUUGE, has over 300 pages, and comes in a very large format with a special cover. The seller also included a cool The Art of Star Wars magazine for free:









Amazon review:


This is the ultimate must-have for the Star Wars fanatic. Spendy, but definitely worth it, the Star Wars Chronicles is a big, beautiful book that comes in a gold and black box. The Chronicles cover the beloved trilogy of movies in thousands of behind-the-scenes and up-close photographs, many you've never seen before. From the creation of all the aliens to the details of Boba Fett's jet pack, you'll find fascinating facts, drawings, paintings, and photos to pore over endlessly. Each detail is lovingly presented for the appreciation of serious fans, and the whole package will be a delight to collectors.

Sculpting a Galaxy book arrived from Amazon, it is one of the books I wanted in my collection.







ou may be aware of the cool 1:1 Yoda lamp prop made of aluminum - now I got the Imperial version of that lamp. It is the lamp of the dark side, or the dark side of the lamp. A superb little prop, displayed next to my eFX TIE Fighter and Attakus TIE Pilot - thanks again my friend:

Two cool Celebration Europe II autographed photos arrived thanks to a great Rebelscum member: Ian McDiarmid as the evil Emperor and Carrie Fisher as Leia (with Gary Kurtz already signed before) The Emperor pic is framed between the 2 MR Force FX Vader lightsabers:










RS Prop Masters 1:3 Stormtrooper helmet, scanned from an original screen used bucket and scaled down. It has been painted by a very good friend of mine, comes with real green acetate lenses and a cool neck trim, and the black stand is made by me:

Thanks.

Comparison with Sideshow 1:4 Premium Format Stormtrooper and Vader:

[Tamer]

Looks good to me. What licensee made the 1 to 3 Stormy Serg?

[jkno]

It is not a licensed statue. It was made by a RPF member who also made a standing Stormtrooper and Sandtrooper. Quite accurate, a bit more rough than the Sideshow Premium Format but really great. The helmet is the scaled 1:3 one you've seen before.

[wraithnine]

thats one seriously awesome collection there Serg.
