Nah, I'm drunk all the time and a big dude and I make it down okay (most of the time), that picture makes it look a little weird, but it's your normal size staircase.

[gbtv01]

Awesome collection man...must nicer then the Red X's...but seriously, that is one fine collection you have there built around your home theater...top notch!:chew

[GGC]

Thanks a lot. Your Room looks great as well. I have been in the process of selling off the "Plastic" that is all over the walls, that was a habit that I dropped about 2 years ago and just never got around to taking them down, but I have so much other cool sh-t in storage (non star wars) that I want to put out and really make a mixed media room.

[BadMoon]

Very nice collection!

[Voorhees27]

Excellent setup man, I love framed posters, I think its a great finishing touch to a good looking setup!

Very cool!

[Jamal]

Thats one crazy *** room. How many K's of cash is sitting there? lol

[Les Walker]

I just wanted to say, YOUR COLLECTION ROOM ROCKS!!! :rock :rock :rock :rock

Like that, only with other categories as well, will my future display room be! :D
I have a dream! :rock

Amazing stuff mate! Stunning!

[Darth Caedus]

Amazing collection. :rock:rock:rock:rock

[maatuu52]

i like your collection. i really like the obi won kenobi animated clone piece

[Rogue Trooper]

Hell of alot of busts you got there, nice collection.

[DarthNeil]

Very nice collection-- never got into the 1/6 SS SW line or did I miss them?

[SquiderM3]

Awesome collection and display!

[GGC]

Very nice collection-- never got into the 1/6 SS SW line or did I miss them?

No I have 80% of them but no room yet, I only have Anakin on display right now. I am working on getting new shelfs to put out the 1/6th Star Wars and Dead as well as my SW Premiun Format that are still packed away. I have a decent size Public Storage garage with a lot of other stuff I just can't fit in yet, I thought when I built the room it was plenty big but it only lasted 3 years before I filled in and my wife won't let me take over anymore of the house, I am surprised she still lets my Halo Master Chief Helmet sit in the kitchen :)

And thanks to all the nice compliments everyone has left, it is a fun room to hang out in and I enjoy it.

[Mooncat]

All that packaged stuff spread over the walls would free up shi.t loads of space if you moved them (stick em on the ceiling)

If youve got PF's and 1/6th sat un appreciated Id have a rethink about whats on display IMHO

Oh yeah, I posted on the other page the crap on the walls is coming down little by little as I sell it. Once it's all down I can get up some nice units up and get all the 1/6 and PFs up as well as my other things I collect.

[DarkKnight2k4]

Looks amazing. Nice use of space and everything !!! Great collection.

[Cocoboloboy]

Sweeet! Can't wait to see it with the 3 3/4 stuff swapped out with PFs and 1/6 figs.:rock

[GGC]

[johnnyMS]

[grond33]

Most impressive. Great collection, your Life Size Yoda bust is making me want to add one to my collection. I need to go see what I can sell to make room.

[RESIN1]

IMPRESSIVE, MOST IMPRESSIVE!!:emperor:chew

[Boba Fett]

Great collection! I love all the framed posters. One day, I hope to have all of mine framed and displayed.

[Darth Steff-Han]

Your collection is very ... great !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[firefly2121]

Man..that is one impressive collection...I would love to a few few of or GG items...

[drbrad1975]

Very nice collection! You have done well

[GGC]

Did a big overhaul in June, Finally got the "toys' off the wall and added the framed art I had in storage and added some new stuff. Call this 'Stage 2', Stage 3 will come in 2009 when I get the long back wall professionally "framed" and I can pull some of the bigger stuff out and all my SS 12"! Here are some pics I took in March. I re-did all the walls, got a new sofa/fouton thing, new computer desks, got a new 8 foot pull down screen so when not is use it juist goes back into the ceiling, etc. If you looked at the pics on Page 1 you can see the big difference it made getting rid of the carded figs.

[abadguy]

I'm curious, where can you find a good curio stand?

[GGC]

Almost Three Years, time for an update. Here is the collection room as of last month (and after it flooded this past October):

Video via YouTube:

YouTube - Yodasnews Star Wars Collection Room - Home Theater - Man Cave 2011 Update

[MarfMaster]

That is one seriously impressive collection! I wish I had the space for a media room...

Sorry to hear about the flood :( What caused it, and did you lose anything?

[cplhicks]

Great collection!

My collection room got flooded too a few years back. Sorry to hear about your flood.:(

[Colossus]

Great Great Collection, Congrats G.

Thank You.

This past October, We had super heavy rain in PA. At one point it was 2 to 3 inches an hour. I have a sump pump but at that rate it could not keep up and stared to overflow. It kept raining at that rate for 10 hours or so. Nothing I could do but watch it come in and suck if up with towels. Luckily I'm a night owl so I was sitting in my chair when my feet got wet and I started to move stuff as soon as it started coming in. When the stores opened at seven I got a shop vac. In between I carried everything I could low to high. Until the room was all but empty.

90% of the collectibles I was able to get upstairs before it got higher. Some items were toast, some I was able repair. Since most were polystone I was able to dry a lot off without damage. The bookshelves were all waterlogged, but I replaced them with the same ones so no biggie, they were all either cheap IKEA or Wal-Mart standard issue.

The biggest lose was my MOC WOS Playmates Simpsons Collection in storage in the back room. I know it's not worth much now but back them I went nuts for them and I dropped close to 3 grand to get a complete set, all MOC and all MIB Playsets. They were all in one section where I had not yet converted to Tupperware totes and more than 50% were soaked, so I opened them up. Not a huge loss since they lossed a ton of value (One Burns Series 1 I paid like $40 for, used to book for $80 and it now worth like $10), but it had sentimental value.

I lost some easily replaceable items like my GG Yoda Kybuck Maquette, Holiday Cody and C-3PO Statue. My SSC Luke and Yoda took a beating and lost some fingers and tree bark, but I was able to fix it. A box of Star Wars comics was trashed, Halo vs. Arbiter Weta statue that I just got was trashed, some Hot Toys (Blade and Iron Man) but they should dry out okay. Code 3 Plaques and my MR Boba Blaster took a few big hits but can still be displayed. A few more mini busts and about 40 Star Wars carded figs I was going to donate anyway.

Had to buy a dehumidifier to try an get the smell out, cause everything down there stunk like a gym locker and we pulled up all the carpet and padding, all the padding had to be replaced and we had to mold check it all and spray this stuff down to prevent mold in the future, then we had the carpet dried and treated and put it back down, it's not perfect but will do for now. If we don't move next year I will have it replaced as well.

All in all I feel lucky it wasn't worse off, and it was hell for 3 weeks but slowly got back to beers and toys :)

Great collection!

My collection room got flooded too a few years back. Sorry to hear about your flood.:(

Thanks! I hope you were able to recover most of your stuff, I would not wish it on any collector. I could only imagine if I wasn't home when it started, might be a different story all together.


Great Great Collection, Congrats G.

Thanks!

[MarfMaster]

Wow...that literally sounds like a nightmare :thud: Well glad to hear you're back on your collecting feet :duff

[Chaosorb]

I've seen this collection on other boards before and you hav a sick collection my friend. If I did that to my house my wife would string me up by my short hairs!!! :stake

[jkno]

Sorry to hear about the flooding problems.

Cool collection, as I already said on another forum! :rock

[GGC]

@Chaosorb - Thanks! This is the ONLY room I get in the house, the rest you would think I didn't collect a thing and I sleep in a pretty "girlie" room but it's an good trade off :)

Hey, jkno, I've been on these boards 4 or 5 years and didn't know you were here. You are all over the place. Good to see you and Thanks!

[plasticcrapmoneywaster]

Awesome collection man! I loved the video tour and great choice of tunes.

[EXOTICLEX]

wow dude.....you've got a LOT of stuff......great collection and sorry to hear about the flood. I'm guessing you have spent at minimum 100k on your collection over the years?

[laudel7]

Great collection :rock

[jkno]

Hey, jkno, I've been on these boards 4 or 5 years and didn't know you were here. You are all over the place. Good to see you and Thanks!
