    It is an eerily serene collection, at least in some of the photos. What I usually hate about OCD collections is the amount of crap stuffed into rooms, with no rhyme or reason as to placement. At least there are parts of his collection that appear like they could show up in a normal persons house, and not a bunny boiler turned Star Wars fan.

    Seriously, I am not going to judge this person. And I say that as someone who is prepared to invest more time, money and serious pain on Star Wars.

    This dude has money and something that makes him happy. More power to him. My only quibble is that he's got prequel shit in there.

    Now if you don't mind, I need to finish designing my next Star Wars tattoo.

    For some reason I'm picturing the owner as a Patrick Bateman type of guy, who hires hookers and tells them, "Okay, you wear the Vader mask, and you, you strap on this lightsaber." And then as they are doing it, he describes how he thought Empire was too existential and dark, but in Episode I, Lucas really came into his own...

    I don't think you need to be rich to do this. If he lives in an apartment full of glass cases of Star Wars memorabilia, it is unlikely that he has a family or kids that he lives with; kids break shit. Being single for 20 years will automatically increase your disposable income by a few hundred thousand dollars. Given these circumstances, the only other thing you need to amass such an impressive collection is unending devotion - or rabid obsession, depending on what you want to call it.

    So see, there is hope for the rest of us as well!

    He needs a full time maid just to dust all that crap. You can see that he spend all his money on this crap rather then necessities like furniture.

    @bustedchain: Yeah, yeah. I had originally written "empty medicine vial", meaning repurposing an old container, then I substituted the word "medicine" (not wanting to suggest I might be some kind of pill popping addict) with "clear plastic" but forgot to also take out the word "empty".

    I noticed my mistake only after the 15 minute editing window had expired. Now, hours later, I am still grieving over this unsettling error, and I will probably be thinking about this well into tomorrow, maybe even next week. Me, OCD? Uh...yeah.

    BTW, I actually DO have one collection of things in my life, for real. I have a pristine copy of every issue of TV Guide's Fall Preview issue going back to 1966. They make for a fun trip down TV's memory lane.

    insane. what is wrong with people that they are so enamored over a make-believe story that they're willing to spend unholy amounts of money and time in their inexplicable zeal. it has no bearing in things that matter. IT'S NOT REAL.

    crazy. it's not real, right gandalf?

    anonymoose lovingly pets his life-sized replica of gandalf adorned with centruies old burlap and genuine wizarding staff, lovingly tracing the wise wrinkles lining his benevolent face. anonymoose mumbles out of side of mouth, "ah yes, young anonymoose, 'tis strange indeed that they would partake in displays of utter devotion to such as this that merits no such praise."

    anonymoose nods in agreement, the disbelief etched in his handsome face. "right on, gandalf, right on. let's go walk among the mortal of middle earth again. wal-mart?"

    anonymoose mumbles out of the side of his mouth, "wal-mart? what are we, orcs?"

    anonymoose and gandalf laugh heartily, chortling at the thought.

    flustered, anonymoose says, "wow..well, why, yes, thank you!"

    "no problem, baby, you so fine i just want to take you out on shadowfax and show you what i have in common with him..."

    anonymoose slaps gandalf, "how dare you! stay in character!"
