STI 2NV's Collection
 

I was a huge transformers fan ever since my parents bought me my first go bot, unfortunately I gave up collecting in my early teenage years. I ended up off loading all my TFs onto a friend of mine which has me kicking myself ever since.

My father never gave up on Transformers so every Christmas I would receive one TF whether it be a minicon set or something as big as armada Tidalwave. After the 2007 movie came out my interest returned and after ROTF I bought my first Transformer in a long time, Universe G1 Reissue Optimus Prime. I didn't end up buying another figure until Christmas day 2009 when I won a huge lot of G1 reissues Encore and the Bookstyle ones.

My collection according to the site I use to categorize them has gone from 1 to over 600 figures in the past 2 years and it's still growing month to month. It's been great being part of this community and I hope to for many years to come. :)

Now Time for some transitional collection pictures.

The first picture I took of my collection, I had just received my huge lot of reissues and bought a bunch of animated and universe figures.

Soon after I started buying Alts and Masterpiece toys, also started running out of shelf space

Ended up finally getting a Glass Ikea Case for my figures that didn't fit on the desk

I soon ran out of room completely and the Ghetto Closest was born.

That filled up pretty fast too. So I moved everything across to my guest bedroom closet

Then a few months later that wasn't enough room either.

My Current Project

I went to Ikea with a huge Christmas gift card and Picked up 5 Billy bookcases to be able to display most of my collection. I'm in the process right now of filling all those shelves. This is where I currently stand.

Let me know what you think.

This is as far as I've made it so far. Closet is still full and have a bunch more boxes full of loose figures.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Reserved for more pics

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Nice collection, the closet is great

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Sweet collection! Like how you utilized the hangers!

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

How do you decide what you open and what you keep sealed?
Whats the first "holy grail" you have a pic of there?

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Those shelves are looking good. Have you considered the glass doors for the billy bookshelves, to keep all your toys dust-free?

FYI, I'm planning on going with billy bookcases and glass doors at some point in the future.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Looks like his grail is a MISB Japanese G1 Sixshot.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

You are correct sir. Its the japanese reissue so I didn't mind opening him up. Great figure can't wait for Hexatron

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I don't really "decide" what to open as I get caught up with what I haven't opened yet. I have a couple doubles which I will keep sealed. For the most part I plan on opening most of them eventually


I do plan on throwing doors on these once I move. I thought moving with all that glass could be a pain.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Get to work and do it faster... you're really slacking on getting those shelves filled man... I'm full of disgust with your effort.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Filled some shelves for ya there Chovner *updated pictures on the first page*

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

well I'm jealous :D

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

The ghetto closet display was the best imo lmfao!!

But j/p and you definitely have plastic crack addiction to of accumulated that many figs WHOAZ!! I think me and you could be brothers haha, I just started collecting for about 4months and have over 250.

Awesome stuff man! Thanks for sharing!

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I definitely need a ghetto closet.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

koolness, lots of bots from different universe, great set up. looks like your building the tfc hercules, are you keeping him momc?

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I opened Exgraver. Left the rest MISB until the last two arrive from Automaton next week.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I'm moving into my new place at the end of this month, I will be rebuilding the look of my collection and will have new pictures up hopefully very early into June.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

All moved in. Slowly moving the toys, Here is an update with some crappy iPhone pics

Unfortunately my new toy room is a bit smaller than my old one but I will make it work.

I can still comfortably fit my 5 billy bookshelves which is great.
Now to get all of this into this little room

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Dusting those shelves seems like it will be a real pain in the ass. Speaking from experience of using bookcases without a front window/door. How much did those shelves cost?

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

A couple weeks later and my new toy room is starting to look like something. I boxed back up allot of my figures so going though them is going to take some time. Looks like a mess but I'm getting there.

By folding open Megatrons Case I was able to fit all 21 of the TF Collection across the bottom. I think it looks great!!!!

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

About 50 a piece from Ikea during one of their midnight sales.

My place is usually pretty clean so dust isnt to bad but it gets dusted all the time just in case.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I miss the ghetto closet.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I'm thinking about making a Ghetto display for cardbacks in the basement very reminiscent of the Ghetto Closet :)

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I had a cardback display in the closet at one time. Then I threw them all out. Best thing I ever did. Now I only keep packaging from japanese stuff. Everything else gets recycled.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Alright. Not quite done, but no more big boxes filling my toy room

Unfortunately I did end up with one casualty in the move.
http://img513.imageshack.us/img513/9208/p7010418.jpg
Going to repair for now but I will be looking for a replacement soon to keep MISB.

Now to get out all my 3rd Party stuff!!!!

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Of all the people to get "slagged" during the move.......

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Never saw a figure that hated it's own arm so much as MP Rodimus. What kind of glue/adhesive do you plan to use in repairing him?

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

I haven't gotten that far yet. because of the spring I'm not sure how im going to get it to stay put.

I have a strong 2 part glue at work that might work.

His arm stays if I put it on at his side which is working for now.

Re: STI 2NV's Collection
 

Alright, its been a long time since I have uploaded any pictures.

I have bought a lot of new Transformers since July.

I will be uploading full pictures later this week but here is a preview.

Girlfriend got me a camera box for Valentines day. This thing is great.
I tried to take a few pictures with my point and shoot, and that was a complete failure. Broke out the SLR and took some real pictures.
However all these pictures were taken with my iPhone. Sorry.
