Re: ► Jkno's Imperial collection from Transylvania ◄
The guys from the furniture company came to my house yesterday with the finished cabinet for the upcoming eFX TIE, and the 1:1 AT-AT Driver & TIE Pilot busts/armors. It is awesome! If you know those large Ikea Billy or Besta with glass doors then you can imagine how this cabinet is. It is HUGE. It fits 2 life-size busts plus one more shelf for the eFX TIE Fighter available. I will wait until eFX TIE Fighter arrives and then finish that setup.

Your welcome jkno. One thing i wanted to ask you though is whether you'll be getting the Vader Cinemaquette and what your thoughts were on it from what youve seen so far
Thank you very much Roberto!

Re: ► Jkno's Imperial collection from Transylvania ◄
I am quite Vadered out, too many Vader items in my collection, and too less troopers. So no more Vader for me excepting if I find Attakus Vader 1 under $500 (missed one at this price last year), a ROTJ reveal Vader helmet, a real MPP lightsaber, and of course a free ILM screen used Vader item, snce I wouldn't afford the price for a real screen used item.
The CM Vader looks cool, but I don't like two things about it:
1. pose - the weird fencing pose makes me think he is inviting someone to dance tango with him
2. price - $2000 is too much for any 1:3 item, when for similar price you can get a 1:1 which will be more impressive any day.

Re: ► Jkno's Imperial collection from Transylvania ◄
that is a very good way of putting it! But yes, i agree on all points. I too am a massive Vader fan, and it was sad for me to sell the PF last month but again it so hard to get the pose right for Vader and the PF was no exception. Just didnt feel right so had to let it go. The only Vader pose that has impressed me was the Attakus version. Saying that, my solitary Vader piece which still sits in my collection is my all time favourite...the Gentle Giant kneeling down pose with lighted base. If only it was in 1/4 scale

Love the setup and collection my friend. Very nice indeed.
The guys from the furniture company came to my house for the final measurements and they helped me with one of the shelves I needed lowered. Thus my Vader and Emperor display is ready:
And a close-up of the Elm-Studios Emperor & eFX Vader section, and the licensed Stormtrooper helmets shelf:

Re: ► Jkno's Imperial collection from Transylvania ◄
That is one of my favorite statues from the entire collection (not just Vader collectibles), and besides Attakus Vader 1, many collectors consider the GG ESB kneeling version as having the second best pose for this great character. For an edition of #5000 this GG kneeling Vader statue still holds the presence (and price).
Thank you very much FB!

A superb rough stunt blaster just arrived: RS Prop Masters ESB Replica Stunt Stormtrooper Blaster Limited Run.
From RS Prop Masters Facebook page: The iconic E-11 stunt blaster from ESB, created from the original 'Pugman' blaster, direct lineage, it doesn't get any better. A must for ESB Stormtroopers and Snowtroopers. Limited to 10.

Re: ► Jkno's Imperial collection from Transylvania ◄
Thanks my friend!!
Thank you Jay.
This ESB E-11 blaster is rough and warped, and it truly shows how real the Original Trilogy was, compared to the idealized CGI Prequels. This is a cast from an original screen used one, a background Stunt Stormtrooper blaster bought from ILM by a guy called "Pugman" (thus the name of the blaster). This joined my armory consisting of a few Stormtrooper blasters already, including a real Sterling E-11 conversion and the MR blaster.
As per RS Prop Masters message to me: "Your blaster is the unpainted black pigment blaster, so the details are very crisp, with no paint over the scratches etc. ... The one photographed on our Facebook is yours ... The COA's are due to us on the 5th." Cannot get better than that

From RS Prop Masters site:
RS Prop Masters ESB Replica Stunt Stormtrooper Blaster Limited Run
Building on the lineage of our suit we are very pleased and excited to offer an exact replica of an original Star Wars Episode IV The Empire Strikes Back background blaster. The blaster was obtained from a private collector, John, AKA Pugman from the Replica Prop Forum. He has supplied the master that came from his original blaster and a mould. This piece is a must for anyone wanting to complete a Stormtrooper as closely as possible to a complete screen used suit.
This piece is a replica that has not subject to a ‘cleaned up’ or any ‘correction’. In this case the blaster has numerous score marks and ‘rough edges’ that were on the original piece as it came to the owner in fantastic condition for an original prop. This piece is not a polished finished piece, it is a background blaster replica.

BTW this is the original screen used blaster it was molded from - it was also present in this shot:
