    thank you @Cress, appreciate it
    I've been feeling off last couple of days, so decided to cheer myself up by going on ebay and spending some of my money on figures, first up a tie fighter pilot

    Heres what he looks like free from his plastic prison, mine is staying on the card


    next up a darth vader figure that has been given a metallic or 'carbonised' look to it, 

    they should be here soon, and i'll add them to the collection

    My nickname is BB8 because of how I go down stairs one at a time.  :D

    So i got another 12 inch scale figure for the collection, this time count Dooku, this is a custom figure, which means its put together with a variety of parts, with a new paintjob, pretty pleased with it

    I saw that Pandora now have a Star Wars collection. The BB8 and baby yoda are adorable!

    finally added Dooku to the cabinet, darth vader is now needing a new shelf as he doesn't fit in with these two

    Have you considered a home extension @Grinchy - you might need one! Hope you're keeping well, & have had a good (or at least not a bad) weekend. :)

    Oh @Grinchy - & I hope you enjoy filling it! With Christmas around the corner, that might help. How is your son getting on? Has he seen his 'old' bedroom yet? :)

    Pre lockdown I attended regular Comic Con type events as Darth Vader and then Kylo Ren.



    Here's Darth Vader.
