I still have a Star Wars Xbox 360 bundle in it's original sealed box. I would like to get some Lego stuff. Legos are stupid expensive though.

I'm a huge fan of star wars! Such great movies.
I am trying to collect all of the different movie sets, because there were changes in all of the releases.
I currently have about 6 different releases, there are so many to get!
I also collect the Lego starwars sets, those are really cool too.
Beyond that I have a few action figures, books, etc.
There's a huge universe of star wars collectibles indeed!
Are those actual helmets or just models?
I've seen people wearing those helmets at comic con before, they are so cool!
I hope this post didn't just make me look like the biggest nerd ever!
Take it easy

Well i'm a fan aswell :D (not huge)

I alway's wanted a helmet, got one ... and ended up with 3 now...

They are actuall helmets that are wearable, and correct size..
Infact the Tie fighter helmet comes from Sherpeton wich made the actuall helmet back in 1983 ? (it's signed inide aswell":D ) and made from the excact same matterial like back in the day.

The Stormtrooper is from RS prop masters (wich got there hands on the screen used one in ''A new hope''
So this helmet has all the bumps and asymetrical lines like they where :)
Same material used aswell ''ABS'' and hand painted....

Both are made out of sepparate pieces.... (not just one mold)

Did you know the Tie fighter pilot helmet (two of them) were re-used in the empire strikes back... they painted two light grey and added some decals and more tubing in the AT-AT walker scene.

Love them!

I have always been a huge fan, and currently working on sating that obsession. I bought all of the blurays and plan to possibly make some DVD's with the rebuilt original releases. My star wars fandom got me into lasers.

I love the movies aswell :) everytime i see it there are more things to look out for..

First time you ever see it, there's lot's of stuff to see, that you just watch the whole picture...
Now that the Hi deff versions are out (sadly alternated) there's times you pause it, to just look and say ... hey i knew that , or hey i didn't know that...
''Also lot's of background story's on the internet, that makes it even more attractive''

Gone watch them again on the big beamer screen at home soon :)

And i must agree that lasers are star wars .... when one say's star wars you think lasers..

I got a E-11 blaster on route aswell, and perhaps someone willing some day to put a 635nm in it...''somehow'' that just works on trigger pull ...

:D

You should have it set up to shoot the 638 in pulses. A 5W 638 C-Mount with batteries in the hilt. Trigger starts pulse mode. Release trigger to stop.

You could put a photo sensor in the blaster looping back to a sound board that would play a blaster sound from some small speakers.

I hope this isn't taken the wrong way but I know it will. I mean it nicely.

Don't you guys ever feel like suckers for buying this plastic that has no real value and isn't doing anything for you? Especially that xbox360, that could have been a nice piece of a room and fun, it's not doing much for you in a box, I meat what is it besides an xbox360 with some starwars stuff on it.

:)

I don't collect things really, but a lot of people like having that piece of history in a fandom that defined their childhood. Star Wars stuff is also pretty valuable and isn't decreasing in value. So sentimental investments?

Awesome stuff people :D


Here's my latest addition ....

E-11 Blaster.. with me in the pic ^^

Now it needs a Big fat 635nm beam installed inside it.

And the Vader helmet :D

Most people that think darth vader... think of a black helmet ... but this is what it looks like in the movie ''The empire strikes back'' :)

My Star Wars collection is one item :p Maybe someday I will build a blaster or something. A 5W 638nm C-Mount with a pulsing driver perhaps?
