Palpatine has been my guy forever. I was wondering who on here has the biggest collection of the evil sith master.

it's not me, but i will say that the guy has really grown on me lately. back in the ROTJ days i thought he was just a mean old man, but now i'm realizing just how powerful he really is. i think he's gonna rule the new movie.

Yeah I'm glad that he has a bigger part in this movie. I've been waiting for this since I first heard of the prequels. I've wanted to see more of a back story on him since Jedi.

Palpatine with Lightsaber (ROTS)
Deluxe changing Palpatine/Sidious (ROTS)
Emperor Pez Dispenser (ROTS)

We don't need that here.

I like him. Vastly underrated character in the SW universe. Most uniqe item I have of him was from the Original Trilogy, it was a send away request for the Kenner version of the Emperor. Sent in 5 proof's of purchase to get him. Still got him to this day.

I'd consider myself a modest Palpatine collector.

I am a self-proclaimed Palpatine "mark". I have always found him to be the true villain of the SW saga, while Vader gets unjust credit for being so. I had actually expected the bandwagon to fill up for Palps with Episode III, but if the collectibles are any indication, no such thing is happening.

While I don't want to participate in a pissing contest of sorts, I consider myself to have a fairly good collection of Palpatine memorabilia.

I had once constructed a "Wall of McDiarmid" for my room. It was a wall full of sealed, MIMP figures of the various forms of Palpatine. However in the past 3 weeks, I deconstructed my entire collecting room, needing to eliminate lines of toys I no longer wish to collect (WWE Classic Superstars, McFarlanes). In the interim, my spare room is a mess. Once I have reconstructed it, I will take pics and put them up for all to see. Oh, to have spare time to finish! cool

I happen to have a love for all things Palpatine, but sadly my collection doesn't reflect it, mostly due to lack of money.

But I do have the Undleashed Palpatine (my favorite) the new Episode III Palpatine (with Force firing), Chancellor Palpatine (AotC), Emperor Palpatine (RotJ, from Power of the Force collection), Another Emperor Palptine that has lightning coming out of his hands, and the like. I also have the Galactic Heros Palpatine. happy

If I can say: If someone has everything of Palpatine ever made it doesn't really mean that he/she is a big Palpatine fan, but rather...has more money than another Palpatine fan. tongue I really don't like when people say that they're so-and-so's biggest fan because they have everything that is so-and-so; that's just absurd.

I guess loyality and devotion, perhaps show how much one "loves" something...or perhaps I just look too far into things. happy

Anyway, that's my two cents.

You're right, Vassago. That's why I made my "urinating" comment. wink

Apparently, unless you spend $$ like there's no end, then you're not a "huge fan". I've been called a minor fan many times in the past, and in the present, because I'm not a completist for SW product in general. Being that I just collect Palps stuff, and then mostly Darksiders or Imperials, that somehow diminishes my fandom. If so, then so be it. cool

My apologies if I sounded elitist, I just have a bit of a complex now that ROTS is coming out, because the bandwagon will be filling up for Lord Palpatine, I'm afraid...and for all the wrong reasons (The fact he'll use a lightsaber sad ).

^^Well said. And I'm afraid the same thing; I've already heard of people saying they like Palpatine now because he uses a lightsaber instead of "just sitting there". plain

Oh well, at least I know I was one of the originals! tongue

I've always loved Palpatine, it was even a plus that he kicks butt with a saber in RotS. And even though I certainly don't have the largest Palpatine collection, I get what I can. So, in short:

RotS Emperor Palpatine
RotS Chancellor Palpatine
TMP Darth Sidious
AotC Chancellor Palpatine
RotJ PotF Emperor Palpatine
Unleashed Darth Sidious

Well, not very impressive I know, but I'm still waiting for RotS Palps unleashed and hoping for a RotS Palps electronic lightsaber (God I love that thing).

You guys are right you don't have to have a big collection of Palp stuff to be a big fan. ROTJ was the first Star Wars movie I saw in the theatre. He looked very creepy to me and his force lighting was awesome. This guy has always been overlooked and underated. I haven't met many people that collect him.
