Just been looking at my collection in my toy room. Got several MoC AFAs 1984 and 1982 MOC Graded figures. Original box sets and loose figures on plinths displayed. Then I've come online and found your super vid - wow super collection dude like home from home! Even though the majority of your collection is loose it's fantastic and worth thousands and thousands of dollars!! Superb dude ! Met David Prowse himself dressed in the SUIT Darth VADER in May 1983 when he was opening a New Star Wars toy shop ahead of the release of ROTJ in 1983. Interesting story actually!!! The lad Infront of us in the line. David Prowse dressed as Vader clipped the lad Infront of me round the head!!!!! The lad Made a negative comment that Prowse didn't appreciate and yep the boy Infront of myself then me a 7 year old, my sister and mom. The boy infront was clipped Over the head by Darth Vader!! (Prowse) The glove of Vader hitting the boy's head!! I MEAN HOW COOL!!! THAT LAD CAN ALWAYS SAY ....."HE WAS ABUSED BY DARTH VADER!!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂TRUE STORY!! Best wishes from the United Kingdom Cal
Nice 4 blue snaggletooth. I have 2 in my possession. Both have slightly discolored torsos but the the rest of the paint is all great.I spy 4 blue snaggletooth.
What a great collection, I am slowly rebuilding mine after losing it to a fire in 2018. Got the first 12, missing about 8 to complete the total run. Thanks for the tips man. Looks amazing!
@@Robcuttlechannel It has already begun…hollow tube sand person, short channel Bonk droid, Fat small Han, PAC Man eye Yoda, Medina… etc. lol! Thanks for getting back!
@@larryzeno7133 I love it! lol I’m fortunate to have a hollow cheek tube Sand Tusken from my childhood. I never played with it, so it’s near mint. I should have never opened it.
Once again a beautiful large collection of variants that you have on that focus shelf. Still have the decals of the millenium falcon 1981 unused with veichle. Your diorama is the Best I've ever seen.
You probably already know this,, but somebody stole one of Steve Sandsweet's Rocket firing Boba Fett prototypes. It was someone he trusted, and let roam the museum freely. I remember watching a short documentary about it. The guy was stealing high end items and selling them to other collectors. He would tell them not to tell anyone he sold it to them because he'd already promised it to someone else, which was a red flag for the buyer, because if he'd already promised to sell it to someone else why was he reaching out to offer it to him. He stole several things off Steve. I believe Steve got back most of the stuff, but it changed the way he allowed people to walk around the museum, and his trust in others.
@@Robcuttlechannel Yes. He got the Boba Fett back. There used to be a documentary called 'The Dark Side of Collecting' here on TH-cam. It seems to be gone now, but a summary of the story can be heard with footage from the documentary on 'Junkman' channel. The guy (Carl Cunningham) was pretty much ousted from the collecting community. He was found guilty of felony theft of value over $200K. When word got out some of the evil minded collectors got the guys information, found out who his kids were, and started harassing them. I'm not sure if Steve, and other victims ever retrieved all their stolen items, or not? This happened in 2013.
Congratulations on an astonishingly good display! I've seen many trooper builds, but never a farm boy Luke's! I’m based in the UK and I'm trying to understand something about Palitoy. They manufactured the playsets and some of the vehicles, but they didn’t injection mold the figures, did they? Yet, I've seen Star Wars figures with the Palitoy sticker on the card. My understanding is that they must have had the figures shipped in loose from other factories and then packaged them at Palitoy. Would you agree with that?
They had the figures made in Asia. The only figures that I know of that they made were the Olive Hair Farm Boy Luke, and the Pale Face Geisha Leia Bespin. There could be others though.
So all those, Lukes, Bobas etc on your "focus"shelf are different from each other? That many variants makes my head spin! I have a Luke, a DT Luke and a Brown hair Luke. I think if I try to collect more variants than that, I would lose my mind!
I started collecting kenner Star Wars when I got a whole bunch my uncle on Easter because he lot of Kenner Star Wars, but these are his childhood figures they were all batter up he didn’t want them and he gave them to me
It’s not with intent to troop build. I collect the different variants. Coo and date stamps, paint colors, etc. that’s why I have over 50 Lukes and Boba Fetts too.
I had around 80 figures from my childhood sitting in boxes since 1984. In 2011 I put them on display and figured I buy what I needed to have a complete set. Then I got hooked on variants.
When I was a kid my Luke Skywalkers head would always break off This happened two times. Is there a know defect with the original Luke? Did this happen to anyone else or did I just break two?
Variants and factory changes are truly the domain of the newer collector. I can’t imagine anything more boring. Some Hong Kong factory used a slightly different paint chip than a Macau factory. Wow. Neat?

Wow! What an awesome collection! I love all the variants you have especially the Luke Farmboy. Thanks for sharing. 😊
Thanks! The variant rabbit hole runs deep. lol
Absolutely love this - it’s made my day thanks for taking the time to share it. All the best mike
Thanks! Who would have thought we’d all still love these old toys after all these years

Thanks! You’ll probably end up buying a million variants like the rest of us collectors do. lol

Thanks! Those decals are from the Falcon? I appreciate the info. I don’t know why I never put them on, but I’m glad I didn’t.
Looks great brother!!! Spaced out very well with maximum use of the space. Another great video my friend!
Thanks! I need to start filming the bloopers where I knock a bunch of them over. lol
You get a whole new lesson in the domino effect. Lol
Fantastic Collection
Amazing collection & wealth of knowledge!!!
My main contribution to the hobby is many years ago I found the first molded color leg Han Hoth.
That’s cool! Painted leg Han is an awesome variant.

Wow! I didn’t know that. That’s terrible.
I got to meet Sansweet. He was really nice.
Did he get the rocket fett back?

Impressive... Most Impressive!
Wow, nice collection brother, I'm jealous, I only have seven of my childhood figures left.
That’s cool that you still have any at all. Around 80 of these figures are from my childhood.
my g_d , I wish my mother had preserved my stuff. Pretty jealous. Kenner would be proud
Wicked cool!
Dang leave some for the rest of us lol

I've never seen a troop build of gamorrean guards.

Amazing set up! How long have you been collecting these?

There’s no known defect with Luke. Sometimes they just weren’t assembled correctly
😀👏👏👏👏
WHY?
Variants and factory changes are truly the domain of the newer collector. I can’t imagine anything more boring. Some Hong Kong factory used a slightly different paint chip than a Macau factory. Wow. Neat?
I just don’t know what to say… What’s your address?
