Wow! Never seen so many German Storm Troopers in one go before. Like Scoob said respect!

Wasnt mocking your lack of skeletrons by the way, I was just pleased that there was only one and not used as army builders :-)

Oh, I thought he was a dead Kraken, that had wasted away. (he says likely starting a riot!)

Great pic chad_ghost!

Bet that took a while to set up and put away! Thanks for making all the effort.

I love that crimson tank. I've often thought about buying that and putting enemy stickers on it. Still very tempted...

Also great to see so many of the jointed Wild Weasels and HISS Driver figures. Those are tricky to get in large numbers - I know because I've been trying to collect them. Also all the Germans! Great stuff.

It's a somewhat bizarre selection of figures in my book, though!

Adding the Star Wars is odd to me who views both worlds as very separately, but then adding all those Zuckuss's and 8D8's!! Very unusual [to me] to collect so many of those particular figure as they were massively obscure within the films and then very much single characters rather than army builders?!?

Anyway, its looks totally great regardless.

I salute you sir!

I once saw an old Star Wars Scout Walker painted red and with Red Shadows insignia on it on E-Bay it actually went for quite a bit of money.

Just because you sold your only one by accident.

Lovely shot, Chad. May I ask, what is that red chopper in the background? It looks strikingly similar to my Chap Mei Q Force custom only with two seats and red glass!

I ended up getting the HISS drivers and Weasels from a guy on yojoe.com a while back in a large group.

The Star Wars guys are actually what I call the "Dark Shadows". Kinda like my Space Force for the Red Shadows.

It's a PTE (Power Team Elite).

I'm spending too much money on GI Joe 25th army building right now, so I'm stuck with only two Red Shadows (dont laugh, I've had them for over 20 years!).
To be honest, I think I'd rather have an army of Z-Force Infantry (I only have one), but unless I'm looking in the wrong place, I don't see them on Ebay much.
