Okay, Here's the deal...

My STAR WARS TOY COLLECTION ROOM is on the second floor of my Brooklyn, NY home which is still under construction.

I basically stood in the center of the room with my camera and snapped photos as I panned to the LEFT.

I KEPT snapping photos until I made a full "circle" and was back at my starting spot.

To give you some spacial reference, I placed STAR WARS Character Standees strategically around the room to help you follow where you are.

The majority of the rest of my collection (plates, cups, posters, caps, t-Shirts, neckties, books magazines) is all still in storage.

Okay, enough yakin' here come the pics...

In this first photo we've basically got my IMPERIAL FORCES shelf with all my Darth Vader Collector Cases full of (500+) Imperial Stormtroopers, (40) Sandtroopers, (60) Death Star Gunners, (60)Imperial Officers, (30) AT-AT Drivers, (100) Tie Fighter Pilots, (40) Royal Guards, (25) AT-ST Pilots, (100) Snowtroopers, etc.

Moving to the left, we've got my Playsets shelf, with environments from Tatooine, Hoth, Cloud City, Dagobah, and Endor

... Continuing on toward the LEFT, my IMPERIAL FORCES shelves begin again.

There's my fleet of AT-ATs, AT-STs, Star Destroyer Playset, and assorted DEATH STAR Playsets.

In the shelf to the left of that are The Imperial Shuttles, my squadron of Speeder Bikes, and Imperial Tie Bombers (all but 1 blocked from view by Obi-Wan)...

... As we move toward the LEFT some more, old Obi-Wan Kenobi and Luke SKYWALKER stand guard over my full squadron of 30 grey TIE FIGHTERS (large wings) and Darth Vader's Tie Advanced X-1

Luke Skywalker is apparently doing DOUBLE guard duty... this time with dear ol' daddy Darth Vader!

As we move farther toward the LEFT, we can see them both standing guard over my fleet of 26 Tie Interceptors...

But to the left of that, Princess Leia guards my (C-3P0) Collector Cases filled with Rebel Forces Personnel (140 Rebel Fleet Troopers, 40 Endor Rebel Commandos, 60 Rebel Pilots, etc.) and my Vinyl Collector Cases from A New Hope, Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi which are filled with all of my Main Character action figures, Droids, and Aliens...

Han Solo and Chewbacca mean BUSINESS!! The pair stand guard over that fast "hunk of Junk", my six-foot long Millennium Falcon Extraordinaire Toys r Us store display from 1997 (inside the custom-made box carton with graphics that I created.)

This ship is pretty much to CORRECT scale for the 4 inch action figures, so those Large Winged TIE FIGHTERS had better watch out!!

... And as Darth Vader told Obi-Wan Kenobi aboard the Death Star... "the circle is now complete"...

We're back were we started...

And then, sitting smack-dab in the CENTER of the Toy Collection room, I've got a six-FOOT long banquet table with this Custom-built Jawa Sandcrawler parked on top. This vehicle is built to correct scale for the 4 inch scaled Hasbro Action Figures.

Some of its cool features are:

FULLY DETAILED CONTROL CABIN






This Control Cabin can easily hold many scavneger Jawas (18-20 (modern Hasbro) or 20-25 (vintage Kenner) as they manuver this hulking beast through the Tatooine desert.


FULLY DETAILED DROID STORAGE AREA WITH WORKING LIGHT





OPENNING FRONT RAMP and LOADING BAY WITH WORKING LIGHTS




AUTHENTIC DETAILING







IMPRESSIVE SIZE!!










The Custom Sandcrawler measures an incredible 2-1/2 feet in height and 5 feet, 2 inches in length!
