It is a Japanese range of large snap-together figures. Go
here to see.
They do other Star Wars characters - the links are on the page. The figure is most impressive (as is the box!) and I haven't decided whether to unpack it yet.

I haven't seen that but I hear it's pretty good though... unfortunately it's pretty expensive as well!

So your wife isn't looking over your shoulder any more then, Crazy Mike?
Forbidden Planet here in the UK had the figures on their site as well, but I couldn't get the link to work in the markup code. They have Jango, Obi-Wan, Anakin and the Clonetrooper for £54.99 plus shipping. Vader is listed as well but is sold out.

I've checked out the Kotobukiya range, they're good, but a tad on the pricey side IMO. I really need to buy some SW merchandise though, I'm getting withdrawl symptoms...

They are a little expensive but I just want the Jango that is it. LAJ_FETT my wife cannot tell anymore what items are new when she comes into my Star Wars room. She notices something that has been there for
months. She then turns and looks at me and says "I never saw this before" I answer her
back laughing and say it has been in that spot for ages and then she says that I just bought it

My collection started in my den and expanded from there. About the only rooms that don't have anything StarWars related are the kitchen and the bathroom. However, since I live alone, I can do what I want. Most of my collection is Fett-related but I have the odd Jedi, Vader, and other bounty hunters.
(And of course a couple of Slave I's).

Unfortunately not - don't have a digital camera. I can tell you that the largest figure is a life-size Boba Fett standee that I found in London at a cinema store and then had to haul home on the tube and train (in the rain yet! Glad it was wrapped!). Most expensive item I purchased was a 12-inch Electronic Boba Fett from Brian's Toys (had to have it. Know I overpaid. At least it was under 100 USD). I have Electronic Jango standing next to him, but he was a gift. I have a bunch of the 300th Boba figures as 'The Entertainer' store near me had them on sale - both the 'error' version and the second version. I managed to get the Gentle Giant Jango bust & the Boba one is on preorder (and I hope they don't delay that again!). Among the non-Fett items are Vader Unleashed (first version), 12-inch Dengar, 3 3/4 inch figs of IG-88,Dengar,Zuckuss,Xizor, and ShaakTi. Posters of Jango, Boba, and an AOTC poster as well. And the list is by no means complete as I have almost every book
(including a first-edition pb of the original novel, which I didn't even realize I had til I saw it in a collecting book).
EDIT: Most of the small figs are arranged on top of the 'visual entertainment' equipment (2 satellite receivers & a VCR). Last time I had to get the VCR repaired I had to relocate about half of the collection..

I know that figure that you are talking about LAJ. It was a Target exclusive in the US and I have it as well. I have several Boba Fett figures as well LAJ. I have pictures of my Bob Fett display on my
website if you want to check it out..

I took a look at some of those pix - very impressive! My collection is quite small compared to yours.
Bet your wife makes you do the dusting and cleaning in that room..
