| Wowwowow that is some huge MIB collection you have there Mark! Great to see all those boxes nicely displayed in your cabinet. It looks almost complete. I saw your newest MIB Sonic Landspeeder in the 'latest purchases' thread (congrats!). You must have a short 'wanted' list by now: POTF body rigs? Rebel Commander Centre? Battle Wagon? Special credits to the trilogo Ewok village, Sandcrawler, Dagobah Set with Sepcial Offer, Creature Cantina set (with insert and boxes with baggies?). BTW: I thought Emiel was the only Wampaphilic here on TIG.  . Seriously: Nice mini focus you got there on the shelf. Last week I bought the same glass cabinets from IKEA, and yes I agree they are quite heavy to carry, especially all the way to your attic. The cabinets are quite suitable for displaying figures and small figures, but somehow the boxes don't display that good imo. Your solution seems much better. I am also trying to figure out a way to squeeze a Millenium Falcon, and a B-Wing in the glass cabinet. Maybe be holding it under a certain angle with little strings, so it looks like these vehicles are flying? Cheers |

| Thanks for your kind words Marco! I don't have many more to get now just the BD ESB X Wing,Imperial Cruiser,Rebel Command Center,3 POTF playpacks(Endor Chase,Ewok Attack & Hoth Rescue),POTF body rigs Imperial Sniper & One Man Sand Skimmer & that's it. I'm not going to bother with the Ewok Battle Wagon & Palitoy Death Star as i think they're horrible! Sadly a lot of my boxed stuff don't have the inserts like the Cantina Adventure (it only had the cardboard backdrop & instructions & white pegs & no figures!). The Wampa run came about when i bought 4 in one lot so i decided to get the other 2 to finish the run,(i think there's only 6 plus the POTF Hoth Rescue playpack!). The bookcases are Billy ones from Ikea,i think you might struggle to fit a Falcon inside the Detolfs but you might be able to if you link up a few of them.Shawn K came up with the great idea to link up Detolfs by removing a glass side panel from each one & i'm hoping to buy another 2 to put in front of the others to make one big square display! Looking forward to seeing your collection displayed! Cheers, Mark. |

| Hi Mark
That is a huge collection you got . I love all your boxed ESB stuff , some of it makes my mouth water . And your way of dispalying it all.
What's your plan when you have all the stuff you are missing ? What will you collect then ?
Cheers
Soren |

| Thanks for the kind comments guys! Soren,i've been thinking about selling most of my boxed stuff & starting again with Kenner Canadian MIB stuff as i just love the french logo's on the boxes,especially the ESB one! I'd only keep stuff that wasn't released with the french logo like the Cantina Adventure playset,Imperial Shuttle & POTF stuff etc! |

| Hi Mark Yes that is it , isn't it. One you have it all , then what ? I have decidet just to get a few boxed pices and just stuff that i truly love. This has made me have a much clearer look at what to get . And what not to get. Again i love your collection , it would be a shame to break it up woulden it . But no collection are for ever . Soren Btw. There is a guy on RS who want's to trade his Canadian ESB boxed Sandcrawler for a SW boxed one . That might be your first one |

| Hey Mark, love the collection as you know! So are you going to replace the standard version if and when you've found a Canadian variant or sell all the standard Kenners in one go and then use the money for Canadian stuff? And what about your European MIB? |
