    So it was like Christmas today, all three helmets came in big boxes, i carefully opened each one, and found a temporary home for them on the bluray cabinet, thanks to my wife for letting me display them in the living room for now, i have a detolf glass cabinet for them in my display room, but can't get to it at the moment vas my sons stuff is in the way, i love all three but the Darth Vader is my favourite, its made of fibreglass and is very sturdy, and bolted together





    They look great @Grinchy. I think my favourite is the Boba Fett helmet.

    So i found the maker of the Vader helmet online, and they offered a signed Plaque to go with the helmet, thought it would look good with it

    I'm glad your enjoying my collecting, it does make me happy, keeps me entertained just sitting in my room, weird the way silly things calm me down

    They are not silly things @Grinchy! Anything that calms you down, makes you happy, and keeps you entertained is more than worth it  :)

    so i spent today moving stuff around in my room to add a new cabinet
    heres a  pic with the helmets popped in them, vader wouldn't fit in the cabinet so he goes on top, really pleased with how they look, still got a bit to do, but i'm liking it so far

    Thanks @Hannah_Scope, my favourite is vader, just an imposing helmet, and the best made of the three i have
    Hey @SueHeath, the plan was to add the cabinet to free up space for more collectibles, but i've filled the new cabinet now, no more cabinet space, never mind, i'll shoehorn new stuff in elsewear
