Renovation. It happens sometimes, and many times, like now, it can take a while, and of course there are set backs to contend with. At the moment we are trying to renovate our basement....where my collection exists. First, we had to deal with a crack in the wall which was leaking. I'm happy to say that has been repaired, so YAY! However, that was a financial set back, and now ANOTHER set back - the good 'ol car repair....which was a BIG financial set back, but not as bad as I had feared.
Anyway, as a collector who likes to have his stuff displayed, all of these set backs (I'm gonna try to stop saying set backs) means that the stuff that I had packed up for the renovation continues to be packed up, and that means I don't get to see it as often.
To remedy this I try to bring a few figures out and switch out a scene, or two, just to remind me of all of the cool stuff I have collected over my years as a Star Wars fan -- which leads to the little shelf "scene" above! I brought out my Jawa figures (great little figures!) and my droids from the purchase of R2 and 3PO scene in the original Star Wars film (A New Hope - as it was eventually tagged). I LOVE all of the droids from Star Wars, and the fact that Hasbro has produced all of the droids from this scene is amazing! Hasbro is getting around to making essentially all of the background characters from the original trilogy and I just love that!
Bottom line is - be sure to celebrate what you love! You don't have to have it everywhere, but sometimes just a small reminder will make you happy, as it does for me....for now ;)
