Playsets

I really enjoy assembling various Death Star Space Stations together in a HUGE semi-circle playset!  The top floor in particular ends up looking amazingly cool with a bunch of Laser Cannons lined up side by side like a big defensive gun port!






The IMPERIAL FLEET

Here are some shots of my collection storage room.  I consider this entire collection LOOSE because virtually all items have been pulled from their packaging and enjoyed.  I just keep the boxes as a way to store and protect the toys from damage afterward.  All action figures (approx. 4,200) are loose and stored in zip lock baggies and are kept in Darth Vader, C-3P0, and vinyl Collector cases...

I began collecting in 1978 and have not stopped since.  I never really fell out of the collecting pattern I established as a kid:  re-enact the Original Trilogy of films with the toys.  To me, that meant armies of troopers, squadrons of ships etc.   As a 43 year old man, I'd say that this Original Trilogy re-enactment fantasy ship has pretty much sailed!  LOL!   Nevertheless, the collection continues to build under those parameters.

This is a mix of some older and more recent photos of my collection...

I reached 500 Stormtroopers at some point in 2009

JABBA THE HUTT ACTION PLAYSET


Very soon, I hope to be updating my Vintage Jabba The Hutt Action Playset  with the beautifully-sculpted  Jabba the Hutt figure kit offered by Andrew Rosario.

In anticipation of this, I have designed a NEW package for the playset:

TIE INTERCEPTOR


By far, the  BIGGEST packaging causualties in this flood were suffered by my fleet of  POTJ  Tie Interceptors.

But this was my chance to develop a  CLOSED package design without  a window (in homage to Kenner’s vintage Style) .  Here’s what I came up with:

Y-WING FIGHTER

My rebel fleet has 3 loose vintage Kenner Y-Wing Fighters   that need boxes.

Using the same dimensions as Kenner’s vintage box,  I designed this.

SPEEDER BIKE

Virtuallly  ALL of my Speeder Bikes  are the  Hasbro POTF II  version.
And they escaped the flood un-damaged.

However I DO have  six vintage Kenner  bikes that  ALL  lost their boxes.

Now they will be stored in boxes with this design.  I'm actually kinda GLAD about it too.  I always found Kenner's original designs VERY silly.  I mean, what is Chief Chirpa doing there?  Asking the Biker Scout for a friggin' ride?

EWOK ASSAULT CATAPULT:

Not one box survived the flood.  All seven of my catapults need new boxes.  This is what  I designed.

My design has the same dimensions  as Kenner ‘s vintage  box,  but it is horizontal as opposed to their  vertical design.

DAGOBAH ACTION PLAYSET

The box for this playset  was  only mildly damaged in the flood,  but  I created this new design because  I wanted to see MY OWN custom figures in a Dagobah Playset  scene:

AT-AT: All Terrain Armored Transport

Three of my Hasbro AT-AT’s were left “homeless” by the flood.

In the tradition of the vintage Kenner  box, I designed this box so that I could  store them properly  again:

REBEL TRANSPORT

Both of my loose Rebel Transports  needed boxes so I went ahead and designed this.

REBEL ARMORED SNOWSPEEDER

My whole fleet of 12  Rebel Armored Snowspeeders had packaging damaged beyond repair  due to the flood.

So I designed this box to replace them:
