In my younger single days I used to have the 94 cup final collage painting and an old signed United top. Nowadys with my family, and being outnumbered by females (the wife and two young daughters), I am only allowed the spare room/computer room to put anything up that even resembles something thats not neutral or effeminate.

So due to the lack of real space I can only put up my old (Vintage!) Star Wars toys. Only last summer I managed to get a tick off my bucket list by completing my collection and getting all the old Star Wars figures, Its only taken me 35 years...

Did Potter plaster that roof? Looks like the toilets in the Copperbeach or the roof of the beachcomber at Butlins 1980

Don't have anythin on the walls per se, but there is an Ikea bookcase at the wife's side of the bed full oe United books, DVDs etc. I usually read late at night until the missus comes up the stairs and comes to bed. Fortunately, or otherwise, I have to reach over the top oe the wife to put the book back onto the shelf, which is sometimes fruitful. Ahem.

Yea I am insured St Obi-Wan, it's the boxed (sealed) figures that go for crazy money, I only have a few to show the different boxes you used to get with them and they are the cheaper ones. The loose figures are a dime a dozen on eBay and have sensible pricing. It's only when you go to the last 17 figures released in 1985 that it gets a bit silly, that was your Han Solo in Carbonite, Yak-Face (a blink and you miss him alien in Jabbas palace), Luke Skywalker in the Stormtrooper outfit etc. and they can go for between £50-£150 depending on the condition.

Overall I haven't put a price on it, I know some sellers on eBay have put complete collections up for between £2500-£5000, but it means more to me sentimentally. And besides the girls love playing with them. Under supervision of course!

Do you have a website or information about that bloke, Bowers? He'd be local to me, just as interest.

Nowadays, I've very little United related on the walls of the house. My son has the panoramic print of Tannadice, although I used to have a few oddities like a United mirror which had the English League logo/lion on it.

All that remains on view on a cabinet is a wee display of badges of European opponents over the years. I was only at the away leg of a couple of these though.

Hamiltonarab · 30/3/2015 12:21 pm

All nice collections folks. Not a big Star Wars fan, but that collection is impressive Sieb, kind of thing I always aspired to with stuff I liked but could never quite stick to it.

Got a few United related things, but moving house soon so hoping to get a few things up/done then. Of course like most of you I will be relegated to the box/office/spare room.

Love this, think I might start collecting these always liked badges!
A trip over to Arabarchive is on the cards
Cheers Pat for my new project

83 league winning pic in the kitchen and signed ball from 2010 cup winning team in the display cabinet in the living room. Got signed Ryan Gauld canvas, but not found anywhere for it yet.
