Hey guys!  I recently was listening to the "Dune" Q&A episode and heard the request for pics of the collections from the Patreon members.  Then I saw some posted and wanted to join in the fun.  I am lucky enough to have a room in our basement that is my "collection" room.  It consists of mostly Star Wars items but there are some other toys on display along with some music items and Chicago sports memorabilia that Jimmy would appreciate.

I will, of course, focus on the Star Wars section here. I am an OT era fan and the original owner of almost everything displayed.  Luckily my mom saved everything from my childhood. I hope to get even more displayed some day.  The display cabinets are Ikea Detolfs. I recently built R2 from plans found on the internet.  The arcade is an Arcade1Up with some personal modifications.

I hope you enjoy!  Keep up the great work and MTFBWY!!

Very cool Alex! If you haven’t done so before, you should come out to the next Ghost hang. They’re a blast. Not sure when next one is, probably post holidays.

Holy hell! Amazing collection and beautifully displayed!

I do want to join a GG hangout some day. So far there's always been a conflict or a pandemic 😥.

PS-jealous of your Detolfs! They’ve been out for months in my area! I need two for my toy room!

Quite superb! Well played 👏🏼

Peter Beisser

Love the SW arcade game! It was a toss up between that and the Ms Pac-Man for us.

Alex Doud

Have always loved the original Star Wars game so once I saw A1Up release that I knew I had to have it :)

Alex, that Artoo shelf is great! I see some things I had as kid, but got lost or tossed over the years. Great collection.

Matt Rashid

Damn nice collection, Alex!

I love the old school stuff mixed in with modern. I didn't know what a Detolf was until today and they do an amazing job of showing the collection. I knew about the 1UP game but never purchased. Wishing I had...8 tracks and some Micro Collection pieces too. Love it!

Jeff Rysinski

Very nice collection, I especially like the vintage stuff. I discovered the Detolf a few years ago, they are great

Alex Doud

Thanks everyone for the kind words over the last week and a half! Proud to have the ability to show it off to fans who appreciate it! MTFBWY!!

Thanks Eric. The detolfs are popular amongst collectors and there are a few "hacks" out there for them. That's how one of them has some extra shelves. There are a few hacks for the 1UP cabinet too including someone who has the plans to build a sit-down cabinet to recreate that version of the game too.
