I was at the store and impulsively bought some Star Wars items ...flashlight, t shirt... which got me thinking about which of you has the most Star Wars memorabilia. That would not be me. My action figures got stolen years ago. I ordered a new Millennium Falcon and many replacement figures a few years back off Ebay, but those are my kids' figures now.

- Which of you has the most Star Wars stuff and do you have any pics? I have an employee whose husband died, but he left behind the largest collection I ever saw. She still doesn't know what to do with it.

- What is your favorite piece or figure? I have stormtrooper armor. Well, to be more precise, I built some for my son and mine is half assembled.

- Is there anything you might be ordering or hoping for currently? Anything you've picked up for The Last Jedi yet?

I have a replica lightsaber that is the exact ergonomic design for a slave-leia fleshlight.

I've had this R2D2 since Christmas of 1978. He has a button on the front that opens a compartment on his back where the "secret plans" were stored, but I lost those as a kid. You can see him on my desk in the picture below.




In 2001, I was visiting friends in the Pacific Northwest and purchased this collection of Ralph McQuarrie artwork from ESB. It has about 10-15 of his concept art pieces, including several of Luke/Vader on Bespin that are just gorgeous. Found it in the giant used bookstore in Portland, OR.

I still have most of my stuff from the 80's: figures, Dagobah set, Hoth set, MF, but most of them are in various conditions after my kids also got to them.

I worked with a guy that was one of the largest SW collectors in the Southwest. His collection was mind-boggling. His best piece was Boba Fett's rocket pack from the movie, one of the actual props. Said he gets calls every year from the same 2 or 3 collectors, offering him tons of money.

My set of the original figures (released in 1978 if my memory is still working right) ended up disappearing into my sister and brother-in-law's Star Wars collection. They have since packed everything away, but I some times wonder if they could even identify which were my figures. They had a room dedicated to Star Wars stuff for many years, but some time after the prequels had come and gone they packed it all away. They had a bunch of stuff, including a life-size Yoda that my sister won in a raffle from a local Kroger grocery store doing a promotion for The Phantom Menace.

My own collection these days is a bunch of vehicles and figures that I picked up when they brought out the new line of those things back in the mid-1990s. Still new in boxes and packaging, and my own kids never thought to ask to play with them. Probably not worth as much as I hoped it would be when I bought all that stuff.

I don't have much in my office, just my epic scale ships from the X-Wing miniatures game and a couple of boxed figures.



I wish I still had all the cool original toys I had as a kid. Millenium Falcon, AT-AT, Degobah playset, X-wing, TIE fighter, bunch of figures, an original Han blaster...

My parents didn't have two nickels to rub together. I'm sure that stuff cost a small fortune in 1982. I have some awesome Christmas memories, especially the AT-AT. Thanks, Dad. I don't know how you did it.

Not me, but my Brother-in-law is a big collector, even built his own working R2-D2. This is a video of just his Christmas tree.

I had all my figures and a few toys packed away in a big cardboard box at my folks house. After I graduated from A&M in 97, I flew out to the west coast to see my folks, buy a used truck and grab some more stuff from their house before I drove back to Dallas for work. I made sure to take my big box of figures and stuff.

Then I found a nerd store in Dallas and sold all of it. I needed the cash. The end.

I need those lambda class shuttle and TIE interceptor ornaments in my life.

They're all in boxes at the moment, but I think I have pics of some of the stuff somewhere. I'll have to look

Reading some more responses prompted me to recall other stuff I own in addition to the mint-condition figures and vehicles I have stashed away.

I have a small library of Star Wars books - an original, very well worn paperback of the books of the original trilogy, Splinter of the Mind's Eye, and then hard covers of all the prequel books and the Force Awakens. A bunch of hard covers titled "The Art of ...", a set of blue prints from A New Hope, books on the miniatures and screen plays, sketchbooks and "The Making of ..."

I also have a considerable number of Hallmark Christmas ornaments of vehicles and figures. All of the figures are currently on one of my Christmas trees.

I have most of the original figures from my childhood, the Death Star play set, Hoth play set, Millenium Falcon and a few other ships. I was hoping my son would want to play with them but he never did get into playing with action figures. Has to be on a screen for him to have any interest. SMH.


Anyway, now I cut coins into pendants as a hobby and have done a few SW coins. These are all cut by hand with a small jeweler's saw and 4/0 blades.











Keeps me out of trouble and in my garage.

My son's birthday is December 16... he just turned 8. He's both a Star Wars and LEGO freak. December is a very expensive month for me.

I had several thousand action figures displayed in my house at one point. Sold them on eBay a few years ago for 13K. I'll have to see if I can dig up some pics.
