Nice setup man, got any other pictures?
I was looking at these but I wanted a little case just for Leia for now.
Seems to me that if you're just looking for an individual case for Leia, I'd look into getting a football case from a local sports/card store. Those seem like they'd be big enough.

Zaxxon, great pictures. I really like the Detolf case you have. I may have to look into that at some point in the future.
I picked up the Leia/R2 earlier this week, and will probably pre-order Han tonight. I can't wait to see Chewie. Nice touch on interlocking the base with the Han maquette.

Thanks! I was going to use this site to get a box made for the vader helmet. www.displaycaseart.com
I've seen the smaller cases on ebay too.

Thanks! I wonder when a picture of the Chewbacca will be out? I can't wait to see it.
This is how I set up the lighting. The lighting is also from Ikea and the dimmer switch I got at walmart. The spot light came with a 20 watt but it was too bright with the other 10 watt lights so I replaced it with 10. Now they all evenly dim.
Ahhh the night time look. It looks just classy enough to avoid complaints from my girlfriend for the time being.

Those work great. You can try a basketball case also. I have my Barris/Luminara maquette in one.

Here's a treat for Leia fans. I was in London today to go to the Star Wars exhibit that recently opened. I went to Forbidden Planet afterwards and I had my camera so I took a shot of their lifesize animated Leia. If you look next to her you can just make out the regular-sized maquette as well.

Our first look at Chewie.
There are also some more detailed shots of Han. I'm very impressed with both of these pieces!

Hmm, I think Chewie is so-so, but Han looks perfect in that animated style.

My only real qualm with Chewie is that I think his fur should be more shaggy, especially at the top of his head. Having the top of his head be so streamlined just doesn't look quite right...I would have liked to see more texture there.

You guys are right. I got a good look at the animated Han and Chewie at C4 and the Chewie took a little getting used to. But I know they will both be in my possession soon, since I haven't the ability to say no to higher end Solo/Chewie pieces.

I was wondering if any of you guys can help me. I'm kicking myself in the arse bad because I missed it but, I really want to get the Yoda/R2 maquette, as it's an extremely nice piece. However, besides Ebay I have no where else to turn. I was hoping if someone here knew of a place that sold this at a decent price. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I know these were selling fast at C4, and I'm really disappointed in myself for not knowing about this when I was there. So, if anyone can help I would, again, greatly appreciate it. I will be looking all over myself as well.
Also, add to the fact that I can't afford to go to ComiCon.

pay for someone's comic-con ticket, and they'll get you one. I have a friend that does that. It's cheaper than buying a plane ticket

That would probably be my absolute last resort. If I can't do anything about it, I'll just have to pass on it. I'll still keep looking around though.
