In my Star Wars collection, front and center, will forever be the memory of watching my 5-year-old son get all weepy when Darth Vader strikes Obi-Wan down.
I can't wait to show him Empire!!
I really couldn't care less about Star Wars but there is something wildly appealing about aggregation, in general. I wouldn't look twice at one or two of these figurines, but a big bunch of them? Yum!
He... he... he took them out of the packages?!
I wonder what Nigo has to say about this.
This looks like one of the OTAKU ROOMs featured in the new book from Kotobukiya "OTACOOL"

It will be released in october and features super OTAKU like Danny Choo and Julie Watai...
It's like a chastity belt made out of win and awesome
OOO, a Star Wars Wunderkammer. And organized, like the Wunderkammern of yore! Lovely.
I loove Star Wars. I think about things like sandpeople riding in single file to confuse their numbers all the time.
And this collection is beautifully displayed.
But the impulse that forces one to spend so much time-- out of all the variety and richness life has to offer-- on this single sliver... feels like... a disease.
See? Already much better than Damien Hirst !
Do you KNOW how hard that would be to dust?! (house proud opinion)
You've got a nice selection Mr. Woong, but these aren't really the droids I'm looking for.
think of all the starving children in Africa a collection like this would feed... assuming starving children could eat plastic and resin sculptures.
Seriously though, I agree with @7 - this is a beautifully displayed collection and obviously extremely valuable - but hints at a bit more than mere obsession. Also - way too much junk from the prequels, as if this collector preferred those movies... Ack, no accounting for taste. Still better than collecting NASCAR stuff.
I totally agree about the aggregation and the wunderkammer vibe. Almost anything collected in such quantity and displayed with such care is intriguing to me.
That's a nice quote at the beginning: "The grand dreams of today make the me of tomorrow". He apparently was inspired by SW to become a graphic designer.
This reminds me a lot of the Toykino museum in Bukchon in Seoul, although this is better laid out. I found a youtube clip of it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSSELSnmtHM
SternKreigwunderkammer?
Ah, German!
all of which will say (to any girl who may even get as far as the living room), "no matter what happens, you will never be as important to me as all this obsessive geekery which surrounds us."
NERRRRRRRRRRRDS!!!!!!!!!!
This is such a visible form of passion and love for something. He's amassed it all. He's organized it to a profound level. And at least once a week, he's got to go through and dust each piece and the surface it sits on.
He's sitting there spending hours cleaning the collection, considering his collection and refining the organization.
The involvement is incredible and enviable. I'm far too jaded for such enterprises.
Those wind-up clones lined up on the long table are from a Burger King kids meal giveaway form a couple years back. I have one, which my 15-month-old son *loves*. His head would explode if he saw this.
On one hand, the collection is admittedly cool... While on the other hand, you have to wonder if he dates much?
I mean, seriously...
Oh, whatever. Just because someone collects stuff and takes pride in ordering and displaying it doesn't mean he doesn't get laid.
I think it's funny many women probably do this on a much wider and more common scale -- with clothes and shoes. That, for some reason, is just silly and indulgent, not sexually repellent.
I'm with Gloria on this. In fact, seeing evidence that a guy can keep things this tidy and organized is a turn-on for me.
T-800 arm in collection... FAIL.
Any indication if this is the guy's house or office? This is an awesome display. If he's ever hard up for cash he can just throw down some runner carpets and charge people $5 for a five minute walk-through. I'd go through twice.
Hope he has this properly insured, but really it's almost priceless if you think about it.
Good find Cribcandy!
amazing...but his portfolio with the sample shop-job...what if the collection itself was....
I'm glad he took the Star Wars toys out of their packaging. I could never understand why you would ever want to collect a bunch of things in their packages and never touch them.
