New Collection Pictures
Over the summer I’ve been slowly piecing together my new display cases for my collection. With the Star Wars Blu Rays coming out on the 16th of September, I made that my goal date to have the display setup by. I managed to get it all done with the exception of one store display piece that I’ve been waiting on from a recent ebay buy.
Here’s a before and after picture to show how the setup has changed and then individual pictures of each shelf.
CES 2011
Continue Reading →
Last week was the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. If I’m counting right, this should have been my 9th CES now as I believe my first was in 2001 and I missed one because of school a couple years ago. This year I spent 3 days at the show and still feel like I skimmed the surface. Like last year there were a lot of 3D T.V.s shown and quite a few demonstrations of glassless 3D T.V.s. I personally think that will be the future as the most common complaint about 3D is having to wear the glasses. Right now with the technology you have to stand in certain spots for it to work, but I’m sure this will be perfected in years to come.
Boba Fett Coin
We are finally back from the trip and had a great time. I was able to find a coin to add to my coin set. This one makes number 60 of 62, so I’m almost there on the set. The coin is for Boba Fett which is fitting with Celebration V honoring The Empire Strikes Back.
Collector Panel Cereal Boxes
This year at each of the collector panels a Star Wars themed mini cereal box was handed out at the end. Each day I attended 3 of the 4 panels, so we almost had a complete set. Just before the last panel began we traded a few of our doubles and got to the point of just needing one box. Luckily Sarah found someone, so we were able to complete the set.

Room sale
One event that many collectors look forward too are the room sales. They’ve gotten so big that the haven’t taken place in actual rooms the last two conventions. Basically collectors bring a bunch of stuff to sell at the convention and then a night or two these sales go on at one of the main hotels. This is the only picture I managed to take as I wanted to make sure i didn’t miss anything cool. There was a lot of stuff that I would have liked, but I only picked up one item. It was an Australian Luke Jedi card back to go with my focus. I feel that I got a pretty fair price for a card that doesn’t come up for sale very often.
