Collection has Hit a Brick Wall

[UltraMarknus]

I Decided to only keep G1 and G1esque figures like classics and animated. I had too much this and that. Here's the kicker though. I've sold so much stuff I emptied 2 huge rubbermaid containers...but it's not like you get rid of the containers because they are empty...therefore, I have not made an inch of room lol.

LOL, don't think there is much worth buying off me.

Working through each shelf one by one and sorting by mold, quality and character.

Starting with PCC, I know I'm keeping Heavytread, Bombshell, Leadfoot and Steamhammer

Just deciding between Huffer, Crankcase, Sandtrap, Searchlight, Darkstream, Sledge, Smolder, Icepick and Windburn.

any suggestions for which PCC's would best represent their line?

Additionally, I've picked up the habbit of Purging as I tend to Bing a bit each year. I personally enjoy Decepticons as I find their molds to be more intresting. So any autobot that does not meet the criteria to become modded into a decepticon I generally will sell or trade off.

Even beyond that I have had to purge off Decepticons, as I am currently trying to limit my self to Seekers, Cassetticons, Gestalts. Including FP homages.

I'm not sure about other people but it always seems to me that there is more coming in the either going out. lol




Just a thought thou. Buy a hutch. It will give you a moderatly nice display space, plus adaquate storage space for your extra figures, boxes etc. It will give you the ablity to place it in just about any room from the Living Room to Bedroom.

A good portion of my collection has been focused on classics, but of the shelf for autobots, there are more bots than space and this is only the RTS and Generations lines.

Have finished cataloging my collection, only 108 figures (including PCC Minicons) so to save space, I've already cut Darkstream, Doubleclutch, Sledge, Smoulder and Steelshot from PCC (Leaves Leadfoot, Heavytread, Huffer and Searchlight for bots. Crankcase, Bombshock, Steamhammer and Windburn for cons and some mini-cons have now found homes with some of my Classics figures.

I have found that transformerd to vehicle/beast mode when stored helps to decrease breakage I also wrap the chromed or pieces with a lot of clear parts to avoid scrathes at one point I had build shelves on the wall from floor to ceiling and that worked well (bots displayed in robot mode also take up less room ) for a while.I try to display them in series such as G1 or G2 and in years of release such as first series second etc...with the Japanese, European,etc.. dispayed in there respective groups

A proper shelf is not yet in the cards. I unfortunately am limited to a single 4' x 1' x 7' bookcase and half of each shelf is currently filled by DVDs. So 5 shelves each 4x1/2. Total 10 ft.sq. with figures ranging from 1" sq. to 36" sq.

I really like Icepick and Crankcase. Sledge is cool too.

i had over 2000 pieces. sold them all down to about 300-400 fluxuating. i have about 15 on a shelf on display. the rest are in storage.
