For my most recent pics, see this post
here. (October 2008)
Well, even though my Star Wars room is never truly done, this is how it looks today. We bought a house last year, and it's so great to finally have a home for everything. But I do need to knock out a wall to the next room - I'm already out of space and still have my Micromachines boxed up. I've just got to convince the wifey that it's a good idea - how long do you think that will take?
This is actually the hallway outside my room, it just keeps growing!
Lots of glare in this pic, but it gives you an idea of the hallway from the other angle:
And a closeup of some of my favourite deluxe figs:
One of favourite sections, my Darth Vader shrine:
My one and only carded vintage figure, hopefully will be joined by more in the future:
These are some of my favourites, the Unleashed:
The Power of the Jedi line has always been my favourite, because of items like the 25th Anniversary packs:
Here's a shot of my line-up of vintage baddies and my favourite vehicle, the AT-AT:
And at another angle you can see some of other vintage stuff:
7 down, 5 to go, still working on completing my VOTC collection:
And here's the heart of my collection, about 300 modern figs here, 3 or 4 figures deep on pegboard. This way I can rotate which figs I actually display. Someday I'll have enough wallspace to show them all at once!
Of course, I had to get a few doubles to open:
Love that Wampa!
And my sole 12" figure, Han with his Tauntaun, a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law a couple of years ago. And they say the in-laws are all bad...
And as a sidenote, I'm a big Bruin fan:
Hope you enjoyed. I just received my chrome GG Vader and Jango busts, which will need a home in there somewhere:

Additions as of Jan 2, 2005:
Time to add my recent acquisitions!
My Christmas gift to myself: 2 Stormtrooper Mini-Busts, now comfortably with the Vader and Jango chrome busts and Luke Stormtrooper:
I've got a couple Bust-Ups, including Chewie and Han (thanx to Jeff
) and both Leias (thanx to freebies from GG with my Stormie busts). Now that I've got this many, I may be forced (ouch, my rubber arm
) into completing this wave, and certainly the next.
I also acquired my second unique Darth Vader bust. I've come across both of these versions on eBay, and just can't pass up on these neat looking items - besides, they light up! This meant I had to rearrange my Darth Vader shrine, but they look nice next to the Technic Lego Darth Vader:
I also picked up the Darth Vader Voice Changer and Deluxe Lightsaber (not shown) - hopefully next Halloween I'll be making an appearance as the Lord of the Sith. I also picked up some ceramic mugs:
And finally, my daughter Emily posed in my SW room. She loves to look around with me and is (usually) quite careful. Emily = next generation Star Wars fan. Her favourite? Well, Princess Leia and Queen Amidala, of course!

So I spent the entire day ripping out cabinets in another room in the basement so that we can create a joint spare bedroom / sewing room. I'm bloody tired, but the excitement of the prize at the end of all this work kept me going. It's likely going to be a couple of weeks or months before we complete this new room so that she can move out and my toys in, but this will certainly be the most motivated I've been for home renovation projects.
