Pre warning -photo heavy!

told you guys I would post photos of my son's collection soon as I got a chance, well what can I say guys - HUGE thanks to all of you that helped me to get a collection of figures together for my 7 year old son this Christmas, he is SW mad & just loves anything SW related about as much as he likes breathing, much like myself at his age, at his age for me though SW ANH was just coming out at the cinemas & the idea of having this kind of collection was not even a dream, so I can only imagine how chuffed he is to own them, he has not stopped playing with the since he opened them on Christmas day, with general Grievous & the droid factory being firm favourites, I managed to get 78 out of 79 of the first issues together for him, he only needs a death squad commander to complete the run :) , also got 2 of the last 17 for him as well as all the ships you can see, this is WAY in excess of my hopes of what I would be able to put together for him & its down to you guys that it has been made possible, so give yourselves a HUGE pat on the back.

I managed to pick up the cabinet in a charity shop just b4 christmas for £15 & had a 2nd shelf cut for it & TBH I think it fantasticaly displays his collection & he agrees thankfully.

I have a few of the last 17 on there way over from the US at the mo, & am still trying to get a solid top R2 for him.

First up are photos of them all on display after he has arranged them with a little help, but 90% of the display is his own work.

Thanks guys, glad you enjoyed the photos & knowing that you have helped to make one little boy a very very happy little lad at Christmas & I imagine for many many years to come.

Elwood says - "quote" he hopes you all had a very merry Christmas to & got what you wanted as well, he also said he is happy! "quote"

A good start for his birthday awaits him already & with luck may even get them all together by August, got these ultra cheap from the guy in the states that does the SW paintings, so at this rate he may eventually have a full set, the Lando general is minty mint to.
