Instructions storage

[vwpbl]

As my collection has grown, so too has my box of instructions. I set out a little while ago to try to find a more efficient and convenient way to store these things. Here is my story.

My original box of instructions, a wine box I believe. Prime Energon Drill for scale.

Purchased some sheet protectors off of Amazon:

admittedly I did not shop around for the best price, your results may vary. These turned out to work nicely however. Energon Drill for scale.

the initial test binder I found around for this little project. gotta be Bowie. Energon Drill for scale.

First instruction insert, none other than age of extinction grimlock. I sorted the instructions by alphabetical order and by 'universe' and 'chapters in the universe'. so each movie got its own divider for example.

Even with 2 instructions to a sheet protector, things got out of hand quickly. Ordered 200 more sheet protectors after overgrowing the test binder and filling the third binder. Energon drill for scale.

My nephew has been using the same method and also for storage of the back cards from deluxe figures and parts of the boxes from voyager figures.

It's a great way to store them and I've been thinking about doing the same.

5 inches, definitely not big enough for your mom.

Even with this mammoth 5 inch binder, still had more to go! Those are heavy books to try to flatten the pages a little. Energon drill for scale. Also, a child's sock. Because ... no place is safe from those rascals. classics voyager jetfire in the top right corner, for the observant.

a comparison of the 5 inch binder with the original box. Energon drill for scale. Also on the desk an attempt at joining the movie arcee, chromia, and elita-1 combiner mode. I am pretty sure I did not get it right.

The plastic kipple I threw out. mostly from the takara versions of the various transformers I have. bonus points for those who know where "kipple" comes from. Energon drill for scale
