I don't get a sense of scale from those pictures, Bill.

I’m having a hard time showing scale in my photos! When I’m holding it it feels huge!

Ah, so about the same as my "studio scale" version.

Thanks.

BTW, for scale I usually put my glasses next to whatever I'm photographing.

Bill, what is the Falcon? Is it new or is it the old
Kenner toy from 1979? (perhaps repainted, as mine is sort
of a tan colour)

JB: good idea, I’ll use that.

Paul: No, this is from 2008. However you can see my original 1979 Falcon in the background of the first picture I posted.

Bill’s display makes me SO glad my STAR WARS collecting did not go very much beyond the original movie!

I have a lot of the Star Wars stuff Bill has - I love seeing collections to see
new stuff that I don’t have - of which Bill has loads!

That BMF (Big Millennium Falcon - get your minds out of the gutter!) is a
thing to behold.



I remember how I had given up in ever having one & then one day, came
home from work to find this massive box in our living room. My wife had
been to the Argos (nationwide shop in the UK) clearance store which is in
Walsall (JB’s birth town) & they were selling them for £50.

So she bought me one & didn’t give me any heads up before I came home.



Mine is on a guitar stand amongst all my other Star Wars collection. It also
makes a guest appearance in my Razor Crest unboxing video. Because it is
the standard by which all other Star Wars vehicle toys are measured (unless
you have a Sail Barge)

Just received a sheaf of statements from DC that indicate, in part, that I get royalties from some of the Lego toys.

So that makes up a bit for the aggravation!!!

(Incidentally, working on the Colosseum. Never seen so many missing parts!)

Lego. James Lego. Have you seen this yet, JB?  Looks like it just released this month.
