My Toy Room

[Geekyfanboy]

Looks great Kenny, I am sure a person could spend hours looking throgh all that you have. Cool that you collect so many different things from different movies and TV series as well.

Yeah it's funny when people come over and check out the toy room they always ask.. is this new.. is that new.. and most of the time I say nope.. had it for years. That it's one thing many people like about my toy room is you can see it over and over and never see everything. :)

Great pics Kenny!  I really like the way you have so much out on display.  I have most of my figures and other items packed away currently.  I hope to get it all out someday.  Maybe when both boys are out and in college.  ;)

I think we addressed this in a podcast episode Kenny. ;)
Half of me would like to have that sort of collection, but then my feminine side kicks in and screams, "All those toys would ruin my cottage decor Jen!" :D I wish I could see that collection in person. Looks AWESOME.

I've been collecting the Star Wars Bobble heads for my office... I haven't found the Gamorian Guard or the Stormtrooper I want. I've seen plenty of Jawas and Han Solos though. Anyway, everyone seems to like them. Even people who have no idea who or what they are.  Angela liked them. I bought a Jawa for baby Russell's room. He has an R2D2 C3P0 cardboard cut out and his room is R2 Blue. :)

I live in a townhouse, so my basement is probably half sized to a regular basement, and it is full. I have made a conscious decision to not let it over run the house, partly for the reasons Jen gave, and the other reason so that each time I go downstairs it feels special. I have been looking off and on for a house the past few months, and I seem to be only concerned about where I would display my collection (I know, really lame). I struggle with how to display things, for me, it is one of those things which is harder then I expected.

It is very nice to have my own little "domain."  But it does fill up fast.  Plus I have my big TV, computer, etc. in the basement as well.  So it isn't all collectibles.  When it starts to get a little overloaded I pack some stuff away.  My dream would be to have several rooms, each dedicated to a theme - one Trek, on Star Wars, on other, etc.  One day.  One day!

I know some of those Playmates ships are becoming somewhat rare. A mint Excelsior can go for $150-$200 in the box. What do you recon to be the most highly valued of your collection?

Besides a few fun things I still have, a couple of years ago I stumbled upon a complete set of the 12 original Star Wars 12-Back figures including a vinyl cape Jawa and a double telescoping Ben Kenobi figure, one of only three ever found. I sold the lot for $13,000 and went on vacation to New Zealand!

Wow.. Bryan that is a once in a lifetime find...

As for my most valuable collectible.. that's tough to say. Since I don't plan to sell anything I don't tend to look for value on my things. I know back in the day when playmates Star Trek figures were hot I had a Picard worth $1500 but I doubt he's worth that much now.
