I have just started collecting Star Wars figurines and merchandise for about a month now. Before that I collected movie props (My pride and joy being The Wicked Witches hat from The Wizard Of Oz that I purchased from Profiles in History)
I'm loving this and I have met some great people in the last few weeks
Here is what I've managed to collect in just under four weeks, there's a lot more but it's hard to take photos in the smal area I've been allocated by my partner

Re: My Collection, after 1 month
I'm gonna have to say that that's a pretty good collection for one month.
About a 6/10.
If you'd bought life-size figures of Chewbacca and Boba Fett I would have given you a higher score.
Don't worry, there's still time!

Looks great~ Now let's get you into a Storm Trooper Armor, then the circle will be complete.

Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.

Re: My Collection, after 1 month
nice collection, but dude ya gotta slow down and enjoy it! especially if your misses is only giving you limited space. Plus, before you know it, more movies come along and more collectables enter the market and you have no room, then in the storage boxes they go.

Re: My Collection, after 1 month
That's pretty mega impressive and in such a short time span.
My Mrs would be dead keen to check out the Wizard of OZ and Gone with the Wind props both of which are her favorite films.
