Setting up your TF's for display...

[Darth Wave]

So for the past 5-6 years I have been collecting Star Wars figures. About 2 years ago I added TF's to my collection of toys. And now that I have moved to a nice (bigger) place, I am able to display 90% of my toys. Since I currently only have 3 billy bookcase, I find I am always changing up my shelves... is anyone having this same issue.

I'm getting to the point now where I have to get really creative with how I display my figures.

There`s never enough room, they`re taking over my house....I`m come to accept them as invaders.

Yeah... I have to store away about three quaters of my collection. I pack away the older stuff.

My wife has limited me to a single room in the basement. I currently have 3 bookcases and several shelves around the the room. Fortunately I have enough room for more shelves!

I am currently in the same process, I have been doing basement renos and had to take down some shelves to paint walls, now in putting them up, I find I have so many options that I almost dont know what to do!!

I used to have factions on sepreate shelves, but now am thinking of having complete lines on the same shelf.. ie all animated on one shelf instead of just all autobots. Its taking up tons of time... but good time
Where do i put the titaniums?
there are only a couple places on the shelves to fit Unicron, Breave Max and Omega Supreme, but not necessarily where I want to put those lines of toys.. do I have to take apart the whole system.. or do I settle with other spots.

Either way its been interesting!!
Good Luck!!

I have no more than 10 toys out at a time. Any more and its clutter. Pack that shit up.

I think I'm going to do the same thing. I love my TF's, but sometimes I think less is more. Think its going to be the seekers, soundwave, and some Optimus stuff and thats it for now. I've already scaled back quite a bit, I have some stuff under the screen and in that bookshelf.

Oooh....

Party at Nethervue's house!

Wow, that is nice and clean!! I do agree that less is more, but I also think that if I cant display and appreciate it, theres no point in having it Just my opinion though, I know a lot of people have stuff in storage, or other issues barring the collection showcase. I didnt get to really display and appreciate my own collection until my sweet sweet divorce haha.

***EDIT - By no means would I endorse that as a means to display your collection, as its way more expensive than any shelves I could ever have bought!! haha I do however endorse it as freedom from warlock b*tches! ***

Thanks guys! Ya, its hard to put them away. I start to, then I think...man, thats such a nice figure of Hound so he has to stay, if Hound stays, than I have to keep Ironhide out, etc, etc. What my plans are now though is to keep the TFs that I loved when I was a kid, and thats the TFs from Seasons 1 and 2...and the ones that actually look like they did in the series. When I look at those, its brings back alot of good memories. The ones that I picked up just for the sake of picking them up, I'm going to put those away for now.
