Selling pieces of my collection to fund a Fiero project for my son and I. I have collected since 1977 and if there is something that you want a good picture of, let me know and I will get it posted. No prices are going to be listed...they will be discussed through PM or email only. There are some pieces that are not for sale...but some quick "overall" pics was the best way to get this started. These pics were taken 3 weeks ago. Thanks for any interest that you may have.

Is the "Hans Solo In Carbonite" life size? What's it made of?
Yes - It is life size. It is made from fiberglass and is molded from the original ESB prop not the ROTJ prop. The ESB prop was made in a hurry and the mold became warped on Solo's right side (the left if you are looking at it). This is the way to tell the ESB prop from the ROTJ and also how to tell an LFL licensed product from a home-made one. This is number 585 of what was a limited edition of 1997. Not a lot of these still exist in mint condition (as this one is)...many have fingers broken off or holes in them from the shipping by UPS.

I just hope for your sake that you don't end up regretting selling what you sell.
Good luck with the Fiero project though!

Thank you for the compliment.
I don't really want to sell...but I also need the room to work on the project.
There are some items that I will not sell b/c of personal reasons. My wife also thinks that I will end up regretting the sale...but if it can bring my son and I closer, then it will be worth it.

In response to a PM (and b/c I think others may want to know):
YES - trades will be considered.
PM responded to about the StormTrooper armor and reprinted here:
The armor was made around 1999. It is the ABS style. Velcro straps (I intended to change them to snaps, but have not gotten around to it). Leather blaster holster is not on the mannequin, but I do have it. Gloves are mechanics gloves. Boots are size 9 (I believe). Under suit is spandex. The neck seal is the ribbed version. The helmet has no mechanics in it, yet another item I intended to do).

I'm disappointed I expected it to be actual carbonite

The gentleman wanting the Jar Jar statue is not able to buy it after all. His price is $350. I will not ship him, but will meet if needed....you don't want to trust this thing in the hands of UPS.
Silver Clone Trooper figures are $10 + shipping in Star Case (3 left)
Thrawn custom Life Size Bust has 3 intersted parties...the "current" price is $35 + shipping. Still taking offers on him and first person to send payment gets him.
Leia Cookie Jar has 2 interested parties (why?)...the current price is $20 + shipping. Same as above...first person with payment gets the ugly...oops...I mean nice thing.
Boba Fett maquette has (wow) 9 interested parties...the current price is $75 + shipping...same as above.

huh......................yeah..................................... Hey Tim, You could always buy some junker car and you and Mike can glue all the figures to the hood,roof, trunk and everyelse on the car !!! They have BIG parades in Houston for "Art Cars" It would be cool to have a Star Wars Fiero!!! light sabers for the headlights AND a flux capistor for the engine!!! OH and a whole row of the plane..X Wings <? for the rear spoiler!!!!! Use the figures for switches in the car!!
That way you can spend time with the boy AND keep your ..huh....stuff?!

How about using Lightsabers underneath the car instead of neons? I could use the R2 head from the cooler on the rear deck right behind glass. Add what would look like proton torpedo tubes to the side (could actually be funuctional scoops). Add the Rebel insignia to the sail windows. Paint some Tie Fighter silouettes with red "x"s on them on the door panel....A red "Rogue Squadron" stripe down the sides of the car....The old Atari Star Wars upright arcade game control for the steering wheel....
wait...did I just give away some thoughts that I have had for a few years?????

PMs and Emails responded to (thanks to everyone here on PFF who forwarded this thread to friends...LOTS of interest out there).
It was a great and wild weekend....had a gentleman come by for a look at the collection and bought enough that the deals that I am working on with some of you will be the last ones that I do for a while...this guy bought a lot of the stuff that is not seen in the pictures...mainly a lot of new stuff that I have not had a chance to put out (items 5 years old or newer). He is a big fan of SW and paid more than fair market value...this has enabled Mike and I to begin to think seriously about looking for the project now...if we can just convince the boss (Mom/Wife) to let us have some fun.
THANK YOU to all who bought (and those that I am checking for things so that you will not be left out).
Those who were nice enough to be concerned about selling the collection and regretting it...that seems to have worked out for the best...95% of the items that were sold were never put out for display, so I don't think I will be missing them.
Thanks again.

Update for the sales that were going through prior to the big sale this weekend:
BamaFieroMan - give me just a little more time...found the tubes with new posters...still have to locate the tubes with the vintage ones.
TorqueWrench: I have the Tie Advanced MIB - looked last night but couldn't find it. Will search high and low in the next coupla days. It is yours when I find it.
Whadeduck: See PM for prices (cheap)
Non PFF-member (and anyone else intersted) - the figurines are for sale that are lined up - you also wanted to see the playsets with the figures -- they are not for sale, but here is some pics....
(found another Obi-wan with the lightsaber intact - just not pictured)
