Utapau Clone Trooper Helmet - Great Deal

[Dan M]

Thanks, Jeff.  Other than the Sideshow 12" figures and the mini sabers, those are pretty much all my nicer SW pieces.  I'm trying to be selective.  There's so much great stuff being put out right now by all the different licensees that it'd be easy to buy much more than I can either afford or display nicely.

Yeah, I wish Ikea had the different color Detolfs before.

I agree with you on that, that there is so much out there that one could either afford or even display. I am always more impressed looking at someone who has nicely displayed their collection with meaningful pieces over someone who has everything. I have found that the pieces I have, I enjoy, and if I bought more, and things that I do not feel strongly about, that in a sense it devalues my feelings about something I really like. I know when I first started collecting the toys, 12 years back, I was getting everything I could, but that is never really possible. In the end, it left me feeling neutral about my collection. Now I am much more selective with what I buy, and with the nicer pieces, I do not feel I need all of them, just the ones I like. When I look at my MR pieces, or my Gentle Giant or Sideshow pieces, I feel good as those were all pieces I really wanted, and there are none there that I only bought because I felt I had to. With my toys, I decided more focus is needed, the Minimates, I will just stick to BSG and Star Trek, The Kubricks, just Star Wars, and Star Wars Hasbro, just my Astromechs, and any figures that I like. Other Franchises, I will just pickup what I like.
