My Personal Star Wars Collection and more!
Hello, as some members know, I am also a Star Wars collector. I also collect a few other random things that I like for various reasons. My collection consists of what I enjoy most in the huge pool of Star Wars merchandise. I mainly love to collect the action figures both vintage and new, (loose and carded) and any vintage (1976/77 - 1989) Star Wars products. I also like Star Wars store advertising displays. I am able to display most of my collection in my room, but lately space is getting scarce, and I have been having to store away some things.
Click on the thumbnails to see the full size images if you wish.
I would also love to hear about what items you like to collect, so post them in this thread, no matter what it is, and pictures are always great!
These are some more modern era Star Wars action figures. Ranging from the 90s to present. The top black frame contains a store advertising cardboard slide for a T-Shirt design. The item under it in the same type of black frame is an animation cel from the 1985 'Ewoks' series given to me by the Official Star Wars fan club.
The large poster on the left is actually from 1977 and is a copy of concept art from the original Star Wars film. The printed wood display next to it was a nice gift from my boss.
Most of it excluding the first shelf is full of Star Wars items. I was a huge fan of Surge back in the day and I also love the modern reincarnation called Vault. On the far left you can see the Norwegian Urge soda.
In this picture you can see a cool 1983 Return of the Jedi patch, a vintage Canadian radio station pin, and a Darth Vader ring that came in bubble gum machines in the 1970s. I actually acquired the ring by accident. But that story is best told in a private message. Hahaha.
This item is interesting because it isn't really an official Star Wars item, but it was made around the same time. There is no question as to what movie the characters on this product was modeled after.
This is my favorite part of the collection. The two top most shelves contain all vintage items. The 3rd has some carded vintage action figures in protective cases, and some newer figures thrown in there as well.
On the left side is a cardboard poster advertising pre-orders when the Original Trilogy first came out on DVD. It came from the ill-fated store Sun Coast.
Can you tell the difference between these vintage Chewbacca crossbows? The top one is green, while the bottom one is blue. The green crossbow is rare and more valuable than the other ones becuase it was part of the "early bird set" I believe.
Look at the pouch on the Chewie to the right. It is metallic green not n like most are. According to one source only a few specimen of this variation exist, unfortunately that is all I know about this one.
This is a shot of a 1978 calender from 1977, a 1983 Return of the Jedi doodle pad, and a Life magazine featuring Star Wars on the cover from the early 1980's.
I got these for a great deal, currently they are encased in protective Star Cases.
Star Wars and the other things I like to collect are a pretty big part of my life.
Thank you for taking the time to look at my collection, I would really like to hear about and see your collections as well, whatever it may be. There is no such thing as something weird to collect, so never be ashamed. If you like it, that is all that matters and if you can find others or communities with similar interests it makes things even more fun!
