    I found this Cantina Booth in my attic so thought I'd stick it out on display.

    I got it years ago but had forgotten about it.

    It's made from wood and plaster (very heavy) and its 2ft x 2ft x 2ft.

    Ha I like it!,

    I could just imagine you trying to make a run for it with the Dewback in one arm and the Cantina Dio strapped to your back!

    Enter Now running away "They're mine I tells ya...mine!"

    I now have my own room with just my collectibles in it.

    I use it as a workshop for making my custom figures too.

    Here's my work bench at the minute...

    I loosely based this guy on one of the Aliens that you see in the Cantina. There are two of them and they are in the movie for about half a second but then again so are all the Clones in the prequels and they got figures made of them so I though I would give this guy some custom love.

    The Space Helmet under his arm is a Christmas Tree bauble I got from a craft shop.

    This is my latest purchase.

    1/6th Sideshow Dart Vader Deluxe.

    Its such an amazing figure.

    The belt and chest box light up along with the base and the helmet stand.

    They are expensive and have only gone up in price over the last year.
    There are massive amounts of collectors though so the manufacturer knows they have a wide and captive market to sell to and with a figure like Vader they sold thousands.

    Due to the increase in price I've gone from buying about 6 figures a year to .

    Vader is my first figure this year (I ordered him last May) and there will also be a 1/6th General Grevious released in March...he looks pretty special so I may order him.

    This is a figure I have waited a long time for. Its a solid metal die - cast C3PO.

    I managed to get it online in a clearance sale from a shop in Japan.

    He weighs a tonne!
