Tamer's Collection (2012)
« on: December 18, 2011, 01:20:20 PM »
Well, I could see my old thread was even more cluttered than my collection so I decided it was time for a new thread.

Well I promised pics back in August, but I did take some time to try to tidy up just a bit and I added a neat little custom shelf to one of my glass door den cabinets using some of the Hasbro Diorama Inserts. I am starting to build up a nice custom collection thanks to the Yarders. That shelf is my favorite part of my collection now (and ofcourse the 12 inch Gunner below that). I will be doing a new update here real soon when I add my big ole widescreen TV (55 inch Vizio) to the mix along with a new book and display cabinets. I will start off the the Youtube Video link (more of a focus on the custom shelf) and then post the pics below.

Those customs are definitely my most favored parts of my collection now. I can't wait to add more.

WOW! What a fantastic collection Shawn! All of those MIB vehicles! And the BMF and ATAT - I'd love one each of those, sadly I have to live with my childhood Kenner ones :)

Really impressive matey, and displayed wonderfully. Love the custom collection too!

All the best

Quite the collection, my friend.  I recognize that blanket in the first photo, and I'm still quite envious of that Boba Fett mini bust you got at a steal!  Can you believe I still don't have the AT-AT Driver or Snowtrooper busts?  I gotta find just the right price on them.

Thanks Ray, I have two more boxed AT-ATs (newer larger ones in the vintage and regular style box you can see in the last pic still in their cardboard shipping boxes). I can't wait to get those out and display em some day. Once again, I appreciate the comments.

Yepper still have my blanket your wife made for my little gal, stuff like that means more to me than any of the other stuff. I love my Boba Bust, you will find one one day. I think MWC still has the Snowtrooper Bust up for sale, I think. I am anxious to see the latest on your collecetion as I think you were going through a similar purge like I was.

Thanks Serg, nothing like yours, but I like it which is all that matters.

Someday I just know that MR Walker will show up at my door from my favorite Transylvanian. ;D

As I always said the idea is to collect what you like. Others can only have an opinion regarding a collection or a collectible but the collection is yours. So you must be happy with it and seems you are. Your collection is really coo and I like it especially the AT-AT's :)l! Do you still consider the AT-AT armor/helmet we talked about?

Unfortunately hood deals are even harder to come by in this part of the world, trust me. But exactly like you I'm happy with my collection and doing my best to get the items I want, even if working hard and if having to wait for months, until that particular item arrives in my yard. That's why I also have a specific focus and rarely buy something outside it. This helps with budget too...

Awesome collection Shawn! I was hoping to see the Snowspeeder I made for you in there. Maybe next time...

Hey, L.E., did you scroll down the pics and see your Snowspeeder up on top of my big cabinet with my Vader and Boba Helmets? Its there my friend. I also have big plans for it. The customs my friends make for me are the prized items of my collection.
