Very cool stuff. I like the collection... but... is it really all over this person's house or is that more than one individuals collection? In other words, more than one house?

I'm a huge fan, but if I was dating this person I'd be freaked out if I came over to his house for the first time. Having a special place for a collection is great, but covering your entire living space with life size stormtroopers smacks of crazy. :)

It's one set of stuff in one house I think.  Yeah, that's why I like mine contained in the basement.

I don't see any problem with it.. if this is what he loves why can't he decorate his house in it. Some folks like south western style, some like the modern look.. this guy like the Star Wars style...

If I had the amount of stuff that this guy has I'd have it all over the place as well.

It is who he is.. if a woman or a guy doesn't like then they aren't the person for them..

it's a love me love my collection thing :)

Well, of course he can display it anyway he wants.  But I've seen a lot of collections and I personally like the displays that are more contained rather than everywhere.  The interesting thing about this guy is he is now having to sell a lot of his stuff off due to some financial issues.

Wow, that is quite amazing.  I wonder how he afforded all of that?  Must have a good job, or maxed out credit cards.  Fabulous collection, and well presented.  I'd live there!  :)

But the fact that I'm married would probably change that.  Amy wouldn't!  :)

That is one big collection. Besides the Terminator stuff, did not look like he has much from Sideshow and did not really notice anything from Gentle Giant, but looks like he has just about everything else covered ;)
To bad he has to sell some of it off, he does have quite a few high end pieces so I could see where it really adds up and could run into financial problems. That Live Size Terminator is not cheap.

Thanks for sharing the Video, always nice to see what others have.

He'll regret selling his stuff. If i was him i'd open his house up as a museum and charge people $5 to have a nose around. Financial problem sorted. ;)

And that's just the stuff he kept?

There's something equally admirable and scary about this. (Just my view.)

I know it's unnusual here but I don't have a podcast of my own.

No, I'm pretty sure the video was presell off.  He wanted to have a record of what he did own at one time.  Oh, here's my idea of a great, compact display area (this is from a Prop Forum member named C. King).  Dang, I love that Falcon!

See, now that is tasteful. All in one place, a few very high quality pieces. Very nice. Is that the studio scale falcon?

Bryancd

Yes, CKING has always had some wonderful stuff and a great method of display! This is the kind of collection I would love to have someday. Elegant.  :thumbsup

I agree.  Quality > Quantity.
