Photo Directory - with ramblin' - are you seeing a pattern?
Well as I have said in previous ramblings I am in the early stages of relocation. Right now my collection resides in a 10 x 10 x 10 climate controlled storage unit. Granted there is some stuff in the new house that was purchased after the storage unit got too full. How I am going to fit all of this stuff into one room...I have no idea.

So until I get that going please feel free to browse photos of my Star Wars life as long as with my collection. This entry will serve as a guide to the albums I currently have online. Now remember kiddies there is much more now than what I have documented here - just you wait!

Darth T-Bone's Collection Vol.1: Here are some shots of my old room. At the time the pictures were taken there was stuff everywhere that couldn't be seen. At the time I could only store so much online I couldn't show it all. Some of my favorites in this album are - Falcon Shelf (note the micro Machine on the right - mounted upside-down), Speeder Bikes and Swoops (by far one my favorite of the small vehicles - note at the upper left a repro of the original toy patent), Vintage "Playnts" paint-it-yourself poster set (There was a Chinese restaurant I used to eat at when I was a kid. They had these posters on the walls of the booths. We always sat at the table with this poster above it.), The Bounty Hunters (As they appeared on the in ESB - includes 12", 3 3/4", and the Japanese Kubrick's versions), The AOTC Clone Trooper Mini Busts (Each one with corresponding CW multi-Pack), Custom made stained glass looking pieces (I made these with a liquid that dries into a plastic-like stained glass that sticks to smooth surfaces), Unusual Yoda Lamp (another eBay find - interesting piece. I have never seen one like it), black-chromed Stormtrooper bust with Bust-up sets

Vol. 2 - Now the photos mainly go piece by piece. It starts with ROTS figs I found a month before the on-shelf date of April 2nd. Some mentionable pieces - The Lego "Ultimate Duel set (I rigged the head's so the sabers would stay lit for these pics), Lucas(not-related to GL) "Crazy-Hair" candy, That cool Target gift card that lit up and made sounds

Vol. 3 - Mentionables - Sliver Boba Fett Bust-up, Big ol' PEZ Limited Versions, C3 Vader (Didn't go but I got one), Canadian Rubik's Cereal Premiums, A sweet SOTE statue, Uber-Bootleg hand-sized Skateboard, Vintage R2 soap from the UK, the Code 3 Falcon, WDW Star Wars Weekends Opening Day pin (released on May 19th - same as ROTS), Bimbo (Mexican Bread Company) Mini Loaf figs.

Vol. 4 - Mentionables - CW Animated Russian Matryoshka (I have about 7 sets of Matryoshka, someday you'll see them all), Virgin Atlantic Airlines EPIII air-sickness bags (How could I not want these? 4 different designs - Know Your Lightsaber, Seating Jedi and Sith, Lightsaber Etiquette (Good to know) and The Art of Jedi Combat), Japanese Mini Sabers and Han Solo blaster, Vintage General Mills (I think) cereal premium (a wallet-like thingy with cards and stickers), Goods from Urban Medium (As seen in Insider #83 - if you have Hyperspace go here for the story)

Vol 5 - I know...this is the last album with collection shots - once again the Mentionables - Bearbrick looking (or they are) SW cell phone clips from Japan (I don't even have a cell phone), Lite-Brite Refills (I don't have a Lite-Brite either), Jeff Gordon 2005 Talledega Victory as Raced Duel Chromed 1:24 set (1 of 504 sets), the Foosball Table (can't wait to set this up), Celebration III Badge Set, Vader ROTS DVD DIsplay, My haul from SD Comic-Con '06

O.K. now it's time for life pics...

Here is an album containing pictures from the "Dressing a Galaxy" Exhibit at FIDM in Los Angeles. That was so awesome to see. We were lucky to have a chance.

Throughout LIfe's Travels - Asst. shots from some of my "adventures" including - "MIdnight Madness" at TRU, "48 Hours of the Force" at Wal-Mart, Here's my haul from that day (over $1000 - not bragging just showing how insane I can get sometimes), Marquis at Barbary Coast - Las Vegas, M&M World Las Vegas, Star Tours at Disneyland (It only says no "flash" photography!), San Diego Comic Con '05 - I dressed up that year as "Anakin on Vacation". Made a robotic arm out of Sculpey clay. People dug it. Memorables - Natalie Portman at the "V for Vendetta" panel, Me with Sansweet, My wife's custom T-Shirt(she got a lot of comments too) In fact we were in the "Picture Viewer" on this here site. When we went to that "Dressing" exhibit a couple we met at the Fan Club Breakfast said "You made the site". I love feeling a little SW famous! Here we are with Ray Park.

Comic Con 2006 - Another great year. Brandy and I went to our second Master Replica's Party. Those rock BTW! We got to meet David Prowse! Here's Brandy with the one and only Elvis Trooper.

And just because not everything is Star Wars there's the "Miscellaneous Debris" album. Basically 3 pictures of the Hollywood sign and a mural of Jim Morrrison. The mural was across the street from FIDM. The Hollywood sign is still in Hollywood. That was as close as we could get without being arrested. That was a fun trip. We turned on the navigation system and headed up until we hit it. Nice tour through Beverly Hills, 90210. We almost ran out of gas and discovered that there is a Lake Hollywood. Google that if you want.
