Paul Armory's Limelight

Hey all. So I've snapped some pics, uploaded to photo bucket, deleted crappy ones and will now attempt to put them in this post. All organized like I wanted the pics a little smaller to not have the thread so long. Hope it doesn't bore anyone and if it does  

There are just so, so, so many various vintage items and toys that when I do something like this I am reminded of that fact. My goal would never be to "have it all". To me that type of thinking is just outrageous but for those that may think that way then I wish you luck and hopefully you can achieve that goal and maintain a healthy life and family

Keep in mind too; the more you have then the more display area you need or storage (as so many of us know). I have things in storage and it pains me to do so as I like to display what I have

Keep in mind that not ALL display community members are always happy and I have to defuse a situation here and there

This display cabinet is more or less dedicated to Hoth. I display my loose die cast here as well. The Topps wrappers you see is a C7 pick up and figured I'd stick them on the door

The next display cabinet is for my loose collection (I LOVE MY LOOSE COLLECTION) to include ships, die cast, moc's and carry cases (remember earlier I mentioned things in storage)   variant cases are some things that are stored away

Here are pics of various things to include adverts. I love the vintage adverts and especially non english ones.

That's an incredible & diverse collection Paul.

Thank you very much for sharing it with us.

wow, wow, wow

An amazingly impressive collection Paul, congratulations. I particularly like your droid and Vader, loose figure and MOC runs



BTW I hope you don't mind but I took the liberty of reducing the size of your images for you.

Thanks guys.

 Thank you very much! Man it would have been so much easier to edit with smaller pics. I'm usually just happy I can at least get things uploaded. If it's something I could have done please let me know how so any future pics I add on any thread will not be King Kong ones

That's a lot of fantastic stuff, and from a lot of the different countries.

I love the etched signs & all the different stickers on the doors and cabinets.

there is so much to say that im speechless . thanks for sharing

Paul, you have an amazing collection.......I could easily spend a week in that room without having a dull moment!
Fantastic stuff, and thanks for taking the efforts to make so many pics and share them with us!

I like the stickers of the different brands (Palitoy, Lili Ledy, etc.) on your glass cabinet doors, your small R2D2 focus (Glasslite MOCs for the normal and Droids version! Nice), the many small diorama displays.
Being dutch those vintage adverts from the Donald Duck magazines brought back good old memories. it was thanks to these great adverts, that I was drawn into collecting Star Wars when I was 10 years old.

Cheers

Bill, Marco thanks guys  

Hey Marco keep your eyes open for me for Clipper items   Would always love to add a Clipper card or MOC. I plan on being allot closer to you in July.

Unfortunately Clipper items are rare items here in The Netherlands as well, almost 4 decades after their release. But I will keep an eye open for you.
Please feel free to drop me a PM if you are in the neighborhood, so we can organize something.

VERY IMPRESSIVE COLLECTION.LOVE IT

Oh my oh my oh my!


Mate i am speechless.  I've always admired you as a fan, community  and professional but i had no idea you were the owner of this wonderful collection!!

Nailed it dude.

Remarkable collection, I love the way you've sorted things by character and film rather than toy line.

First time I see this thread here, very awesome collection!
