    I have a few store displays at home. They're pretty nice, because sometimes they can be used to display other items too. However, they tend to take up quite a bit of room. I have a couple AOTC DVD/VHS displays, some TPM Pepsi displays, a TPM book display, and some other smaller displays.

    I have several store displays... the only problem with them is they take up a lot of room. I have the Episode I VHS display, it is 6 feet tall and has Obi-wan on one side and Amidala on the other. Then I have an Episode I poster display box... it is huge! I also have the danglers display, and a few Star Wars book displays, a Star Wars CCG display, and a lifesize Darth Maul fritolay display statue (but that belongs to my fanforce chapter... we just keep it at my house.) Here are some pics (I use my displays to display other items however):

    I also collect store displays. I have more video game ones though becuase they are easier to obtain. I only have gotten 3 star wars ones, becuase of I guess Lucasfilms strict policy. But I always ask, usually the answer is no.

    The only one I have is a Scholastic "How Tall Are You" Jar Jar stand up from WaldenBooks. I didn't even seek it out, I was in the bookstore about a month after TPM came out and I had several Star Wars items at the checkout. The manager saw me and asked me if I would like this stand up of Jar Jar. Now from what I've been able to deduce I'm one of only three people who actually liked Jar Jar so I said sure. If you ever want to get strange looks try walking through a crowded mall carrying a six foot Jar Jar standup. :p

    In my current collection room I don't have room for Jar Jar, so he's put up behind a shelf. However my two year old absolutely adores Jar Jar so I think next year I'm going to move Jar Jar into his room.

    I have the store display of half of vaders face and reads "Star Wars, the original one last time" Its like 6.5 feet tall. It was from the run of the original cuts of the films before the special editions. i also have from the special edition run in theaters the 30 foot long Taco bell star wars banner that that hung from the roof in front of a taco bell. It has vader, a stormtrooper, boba on the left and Chewie, 3po and R2 on the right and just reads star wars special edition. No Taco bell anything on it. i wont say how i obtained that except it involved a 2am run with a pocket knife. God, the risks I took when younger. it was a very busy street. =P

    I have only ever acquired 1 Star Wars in-store promotional standee.
    About 5 years ago, I worked for a national software retailer. While working there, the game X-Wing: Rogue Squadron was released for N64 and eventually the PC. We got in a standee for the game. It was a nearly life-size standee of Luke in his X-Wing flight suit. In all, the entire standee is roughly 5 feet tall. When the store no longer needed it, it became mine. :cool:
    So, that's it for my collection. :)

    "I have the store display of half of vaders face and reads "Star Wars, the original one last time" Its like 6.5 feet tall"

    I have a stand similar to that one, it is of Vader, not acutal size of course but its his full figure. Pretty cool, however I didn't get this one from a store I bought it at a auction at a convention. I almost got a Boba/Jango display at Walden Books but those other people that worked there got em first. idiots.

    Forcebewitya!

    Yeah, I've just recently started getting into collecting store displays (well, as of 1999). I have a few Episode 1 displays (including an inflatable gold Yoda can) & quite a few AOTC displays. I'm still trying to find a good deal on that Toys R Us AOTC Anakin/Vader vinyl banner that featured a full shot of Anakin wearing his Jedi robes.

    BTW, those are some very nice displays Mara Jade Fan!

    It always seems like store displays spark the most conversation when people see my collection, even though I only have a few (like others said, they take too much room). I have a Pepsi Mace Windu standee, a Darth Vader SW:SE Trilogy standee, an Episode 1 soundtrack mobile, and an Indiana Jones & TOD Smuckers poster standee/display. One of my friend's dad was a district manager for Frito Lay a few years ago, so I have a bunch of Frito Lay displays that I've never bothered to assemble or display just because of their size. Maybe someday.

    I'm not really interested in getting anymore though if I ever find a good deal on the Pepsi Death Star display that had the X-wing flying around it, I'd probably grab one.
