Rebel Transport - requires the escape hatch to be removed. Rebel Transport must face up.
Snowspeeder - fits vintage and POTF
Landspeeder - fits vintage only, will NOT fit the POTF landspeeder.
Twin Pod Cloud Car - I find the canopies want to open if you face it up, so I recommend facing it down.
Imperial Cruiser/Troop Transporter - There is a screw on the vehicle that needs to get centered in the slot on the bracket - see pic. Slide nose end in first to engage hook, then set level against the wall.
Speeder Bike - The clip on the bracket snaps into place around the "exhaust port" cylindrical shape in the bottom middle of the speeder.
TIE Fighters - there are 3 versions:
- TIE Fighter - vintage standard, vintage Battle Damaged, and POTF TIE
- Darth Vader TIE Fighter (does NOT fit the POTF Vader Advanced TIE)
- TIE Interceptor - fits vintage and POTF
I'm no longer making the Darth Vader or TIE Interceptor spacers. I have new models that use acrylic brackets for the larger winged TIEs (as well as brackets covering almost every TIE from vintage to modern) here:
The standard TIE mount does fit all the TIES listed, but for the Vader and Interceptor, additional spacers are needed to accommodate the depth of the wings. If you are handy, you can make your own spacers. For Darth Vader's TIE Fighter, you will need to make a 3"x3"x3" cube to mount the bracket on. For the TIE Interceptor, you will need to make a 3"x3"x3/4" spacer to mount the bracket on. These can be made from wood, or 3D printed, see the photos under the TIE listing for examples. The regular TIE hanger does not need any additional spacers for the standard or Battle Damaged TIEs.
I include an easy self tapping screw-in drywall anchor and screw with each bracket. All you need is a drill or even just a screwdriver! A tape measure helps if you want things lined up nicely too I guess...
See a video on how to install the brackets here:

I combine shipping on multiple purchases. If you order multiple brackets from this listing, add them to your cart before paying, and eBay will automatically combine. If you order across different listings, add them to your cart, and request an invoice before paying. If you pay for shipping from multiple listings instead of requesting an invoice, I will gladly refund the difference to my actual postage costs.
I have put a lot of effort into developing and testing these brackets. They are very sturdy - tested for a week holding a 15 pound weight with no issues (for reference, the Falcon comes in a little over 3 lbs). I have these in use with my own collection. Having said that - these are use at your own risk! (I'm not responsible for toys crashing to the ground...)
I do tweak the designs as I identify opportunities for improvement or the ability to speedup the 3D printing process - so the items you receive may look slightly different than the pictures and videos show.
About 3D Printed items: They may have minor visual defects from the printing process. This is normal and does not impact function. Plus, you can't really see these brackets from behind the vehicles.
About Galactic Collector: I am a collector of vintage Star Wars action figures, vehicles, and playsets. I regularly restore vintage pieces. I never part out complete items. I often buy broken/damaged/parts lots for salvage, and will resell leftover parts from those to hopefully benefit other restorers out there.
