I had mine out today!
My Star Wars figures that is.
Much reduced over recent years. But now PERFECTLY formed. I now have (they're all the modern style figures):
A garrison of Imperials- 20 Stormtroopers, 8 err whateverthey'recalleds Death Star Troopers, half a dozen officers, a Moff or two, and, of course, Darth Vader.
I have the 'Bounty Hunters' club- Boba Fett, IG88, Dengar et al. I also rather randomly have a 'Cloud City Pilot'. I had an original as a child and love the outfit. He lurks around as a bounty hunter in Jabba's Palace. I'm not sure if he's a wrong-un or a spy or what. Time will tell....
I have Greedo, Ponda Baba (aka Walrusface!) and 'Zutton', who form a little team on their own (Greedo is often 'Beedo', Greedo's brother, set for revenge etc).
Then there's 'Hammerhead's Revolution'. A team of 'Cantina Types' lead by Hammerhead, or MamowNadonBollocks or whatever he's apparently called. This little group of 'aliens' includes Pons limbic, Bon Vimdin, Trinto Duaba, Hem Dazon, Feltipern, Onith, Bruce Willies, Magnus Carlsen, Bungle Zippy..... sounds like Big Phil's been naming these guys... Hammerhead is basically leading a revolution to overthrow Jabba etc etc, lots of fun.
All our heroes are represented in various forms- Chewie, R2, 3PO, Admiral Ackbar- in standard issue. Only have one Han now, in his ESB outfit, great look. Princess leia in SW Whites, and 'end of ESB' outfits, oh and Booooosh disguise. Luke has the best representation- ESB grey jumpsuit (I love jumpsuits), 'Jabba's Palace' and 'Jedi'. You may think that 'Jabba's Palace' and 'Jedi' are very similar... and you'd be right. BUT one has a black glove on, and the other doesn't. So there. I also have 'Ceremony Luke' from SW (yellow jacket Luke), who often finds himself teamed-up with ESB Han... I like the way their jackets compliment eachother. Lando also features in 'General' and 'Skiff Guard', I never got around to a figure of him in his 'Bespin Blues'. I also still don't have a Lobot, which is possitively criminal. Aaaaand that's it for heroes.
My main collection centralises around JABBA'S PALACE. I #$%&ing LOVE Jabba's Palace. I have Jabba himself, and basically all his palace chumbs. Bib Fortuna, Rees Yees, Squidface, Big Green Head, Yak Face, Epahnt Mon, Hermi Ofle, Malakilil (aka 'Rancor Keeper'), someone called Pote Snitkin, and of course good ol' Salacious Crumb. I have his band, but they're the standout figures- THEY'RE ORIGINAL 80'S BABY! I have seven Gamorean guards (can't have enought of them), and an AWESOME selection of Skiff Guards who I love, including all your favorites: Lando, Nikto, Klaatu, Barada, Kithaba, Giran, WreeQuay, WreeBay, Nullray, Billy Ocean, Ethan Hunt, Morgan Freeman, J.Edgar Hoover, Depeche Mode, Real Madrid, and Vizam.
So, I need, to complete my little Jabba's/Skiff guard magnificence, figures of Tereri and Fozec.
Now, imagine Ree Yess leading my Skiff Guard army against my Imperial Garisson in the Cardboard Death Star with ESB Han and Ceremony Luke caught in the middle, and you pretty much know me as a person.

Entertainer Silverburn has a massive pile of 3.75" mix of carded and boxed and 6" Black Series in. They didn't have them out in the previous weeks I've been.
3.75 highlights included a few versions of the Clone Troopers (Not sure if they had Doom), Leia Boushh disguise, Mace Windu, Wedge Antilles, Anakin grumpy teenager version, Chewbacca, R2-D2, Biker Scout and Imperial Navy Commander.
6" had a lot of the usual suspects plus At-At driver, Leia ANH costume and Obi Wan ANH which I had never seen before.

Nope, 3 3/4 is where it's at for me.
With the exception of Lego and my now much missed Action Fleet I have successfully resisted SW toys in all other sizes

Imagine if they were lego droids. Doomed.

Phil is already addicted to Lego droids.
Phil likes SW Droids.
He will try to resist these new ones but in the end...
