I know a lot of folks like the weatherized version, but man I like the clean version. Very nice on both though.

Wish I could keep both grunt Snowtrooper helmets, but the lack of the display space makes me consider selling the clean MonCal.

Another awesome addition.
Your collection becomes more and more a museum for Imperial armament.

A nice surprise from an old friend, just received a package with the hardcover The Magic of Myth book. The soft cover will go as present to another friend. So nice when things like these happen :)

I used to read a ton of Star Wars books and comics in both Romanian and English, years ago they released about 30 SW hardcover books in my country, very nice. But decided now I'll only be interested in the books about prop and set making, behind the scenes and general stuff about making of SW OT movies. No more PT and Sequels for me. OT only. And only books about props and making of Star Wars. BTW seems they will be releasing others as well, like this one for example: https://www.taschen.com/pages/en/catalogue/film/all/01170/facts.the_star_wars_archives_19771983.htm

Hot Toys ESB Vader arrived, very cool figure. I know about his accuracy issues, but still is a great figure. Added a bit of museum putty inside the helmet dome and never installed the crappy cell batteries, just the AAA in the base. Some day I might buff his chest a bit and use the steamer on the robes, though I don't really feel it is necessary.




The Star Wars Archives Episodes IV-VI book also arrived, enormous and beautiful:

It is quite impressive, especially with the Bespin base.
