El Roranous' Collection

[Balsquat]

I love both your Yoda's!
And i agree about the Canadian diet, I went from 160p to 195p over only a few months, me and Yoda have been dining like swine!

How do you guys do it??? It's so hard to get rid of stuff because i find everything has sentimental value. I just dont have it in my heart to do it

Well... I view a collection as if it were somewhat alive. Never stagnant. What I try to do is rotate pieces in and out on a pretty regular bases to keep things fresh. What usually ends up happening is that some items just don't stand the test of time and my interest in them fades a bit. These collectibles I usually try and sell to fund my future preorders. When I am boxing them up and shipping them out I always feel a slight pinch of regret and the feeling that perhaps I am making a mistake. Those feelings pass however and usually once something is gone you rarely miss it. The weird thing to me is that I usually miss the things that I really didn't think I was going to miss. For example- I completely regretted selling my Fantastic 4 Exclusive Diorama. Why? I think because of my emotional connection to it as you said. It was one of my first pieces and I remember everything about it. The smell, the feel of it, the paint. Needless to say I bought it back and that one is a keeper.

So I guess in the end your collection is what it needs to be. You'll find out which pieces are staying and which ones will eventually leave. I think my collection really represents my personality. Right now I have it at a point where it's very small and contained. I think having only a few items on display really emphasizes the greatness and the artistry involved in these items.

I think I have just rambled.

I have more pictures coming soon. I recently moved and am trying to get my displays together. I have about four detolfs total now and they are positioned around the house. No clutter- NONE!

My goal is to have a movie room one day and just have like 4 or 5 pieces but this is definitely a future plan. Need to purchase a house first.

Yeah that was kind of an inside joke meant for DarthNeil. He actually purchased my 1:1 Yoda bust and I used the money to obtain the Gentle Giant 1:1 Full Yoda statue. That is why i said he came back bigger than ever.

Coincidentally, I would have assumed a Canadian diet would make you thinner. I have heard that even the pop up there is way less sweet than it is here in the states. Would one of you Canadians mind sending me a case?

See this is a keeper!

He's a great photographer but no. Most of these pics are pretty old. I am going through my Photobucket account and laying it all out on the table for you guys!


I am about to take some outside pics of the Predator 1 Diorama. I think those are going to turn out even better than anything I have ever done.... stay tuned.

Alright... this was a dangerous photo shoot. Not only is this forest infested with snakes I also had to deal with a huge spider crawling on the sheet that I used.

I wanted to get this dio closer to the little brook in the forest but I was having a tough time getting deeper today. Sorry. I know. It would have been tits to have some water flowing behind this piece. Maybe some other time.

Snakes and spiders? Come on, man! Take one for the team!

Nice photos, by the way.
