Right, welcome to my all new and rebooted collection pics thread After living in our new apartment for almost two months, having had a nice, big wedding, paying for two trips abroad and new furniture for the rest of the apartment, I'm sad to say that my TF collection won't be ready for display until we've had the time and money to buy all the shelves.

However, my collection of TF-related autographs is ready, and hangs above my new computer desk in the TF room. It will grow bigger as time goes by, but it's already looking pretty decent IMO!

*For some reason the pic has disappeared from my Photobucket account* :S

Phew, finally got the time and money to buy two Billy bookcases and four doors for them. The room is still a bloody mess, but it feels nice to have started, at least.

Some "before" pics:





Hmmm, what's that in the background? Oh yeah, my two meter tall ROTF Bumblebee standee!



And a few hours after the above pictures were taken, the room currently looks like this:


I'll be adding four more of those bookcases. No point in showing what they look like behind the doors yet; they're just stuffed with what I could unpack from random boxes! Will do a proper setup later on though! Stay tuned for the next update!

[**BRUTICUS**]

throw away that BB it takes to much space.

What in the name of Alpha Trion? No standard see-through glass vitrine doors ? You will *gasp* hide your collectables? Is this a compromise struck with your missus? Hmmm.... .

You just want it for yourself, don't you?

Haha! No, there are some real thoughts behind my decision! The doors are actually semi-transparent, even though you can't see that in the photos. Also, the windows are made of plastic instead of glass, to make them lighter and less prone to breaking if I move them. The windows are also coated with UV-ray protection film. And I like the fact that you can't really see what's standing behind the doors; you get a few hints, but you really need to open them up to get a clear view The idea is to make people more interested in opening the cabinets and actually look at what's inside. I don't know if it'll work or not, but I thought it was worth a try I will be adding spotlights in the ceiling later on to focus on some of the shelves as well. Does that answer your question? And no, the missus has nothing to do with this, haha!

The pile of boxes is shrinking!



Now the room looks like this:



Another three or four Billy bookcases and I'm all set!

This is what it looks like inside the bookcases at the moment. It's a bloody mess.. I just crammed them with as much stuff as possible just to get the boxes out of the way. After all the bookcases are in place, I will do a proper setup

[BigPete]

Right, so it was Friday night, and I had absolutely nothing to do. Looking at my collection, I realised that it took up more space than I wanted it to. Even with the addition of the last Billy cases, I wouldn't have enough room to fit anything new in!

So, what to do?

This!



Muahahahaaa!!!!

[BigPete]

And the result after opening all those packages:





I have a few more movie figures around here though. I just have to find them first! Haha!

[SureShot]

So sweet!

btw some picture resizing would be nice

Muahahahaaa!!!!

I always try to lift the bubble carefully to extract the to.., um, collectible and try to preserve the card as best as I can. But the sight of this... Destruction? Man, talk about tearing into things. Oh well, it's ROTF stuff, so no big loss anyway. Hope you had fun !

...and today I got two more Billy bookcases, so now I have 6 of those "beauties", hehe

This also finally gives me enough shelf space to actually start arranging the collection, even though it will take a loooooong time.

The first two bookcases are arranged with my sealed Cybertron collection though, and now look like this:

Scouts and Deluxes:


Micromasters, Mini-Cons, Legends, and Deluxes:


Ultras and a single Voyager:


Voyagers and a lonely Leader Galvatron:


Leaders:


Supremes:


More to come!
