Luke Skywalker is apparently doing DOUBLE guard duty... this time with dear ol' daddy Darth Vader!

Here, they both standing guard over my squadron of Imperial Tie Interceptors.  Packaging for these Interceptors had been damaged in a flood. This is why they are loose.

To the left of that, Princess Leia guards my C-3P0 Collector Cases containing my Rebel Forces Personnel,  and my General Character cases from A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi...





NOTE:  Six Tie interceptors have been added to the collection (total 32)

Han Solo and Chewbacca mean BUSINESS!! The pair stand guard over that fast "hunk of Junk", my six-foot long Millennium Falcon Extraordinaire Toys r Us store display from 1997 (inside the custom-made box carton with graphics that I created.)

This ship is pretty much to CORRECT scale for the 3-3/4 inch action figures, so those Large Winged TIE FIGHTERS had better watch out!!

I'm not sure yet which Millennium Falcon I consider to be the "official" one of my collection.  This one is awesome.   But the new Legacy Big Millenium Falcon (about half the size of this one) is more accurate in its design and is built to actually carry action figures.






This Millennium Falcon Extraordinaire features light up headlights and mandilble cannons.

These are some photos of the loose Millennium Falcon Extraordinaire on the day I brought her home to my old apartment.  I stood her up on edge next to the window.






And here she stands next to  Han Solo and Chewbacca life sized Standees.  Han Solo is 6 Feet tall.

... And as Darth Vader told Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Death Star... "the circle is now complete"...

We're back were we started...

In the CENTER of my Collection room I have a six-foot long banquet table set up with my custom-built correctly-scaled JAWA SANDCRAWLER parked on top.

This custom JAWA SANDCRAWLER is 2-1/2 Feet tall.   5 Feet 2 inches long.  It features a Full Control Room Cabin,  Front Ramp Loading Bay,  Side Compartment Droid Storage, and  Working lights.

NOTE:  It's a darn good thing I only needed to have ONE of these built since only ONE appears in Ep IV !

Vintage Kenner Death Star Space Stations make an AWESOME Super-playset when you assemble a few of them together in a BIG semi-circle!!
The top floor looks especially cool with all the Laser Cannons side by side!!





"Main Characters"  (non army-builders OR characters not Imperial or Rebel affiliated) are stored in Vintage Kenner vinyl cases of their corresponding films:  At the moment about 8 vinyl cases (for each OT film) are full of main characters.



A NEW HOPE






Custom Uncle Owen Lars




THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK



Custom Bespin Han Solo


Custom Hoth Han Solo






RETURN OF THE JEDI






The new Gammorrean Guards are AWESOME!!  6 so far.





3 of my 6 new AT-ATs







TIE BOMBER squadron.




4  AT-ST "Scout Walkers" Ready to blast Ewoks on Endor!!














The first truly GREAT Big vehicle produced by Hasbro for their STAR WARS line!  The one and only MILLENNIUM FALCON.



My latest 3-3/4 inch scale custom action figure creation (nearing completion): Building a Better Boba Fett

Fabulous collection.  Is all this in a basement?  If so, how many dehumidifiers do you have running?   :)

I wish I had stocked up on Darth Vader carrying cases like you've done.  I don't have the massive armies you do; but I've come to the point I have enough figures where several of these would be nice to have.
