FINALLY!!!! It's been hidden away for sooo long, but finally most of my toys get to come out and see the light.

A few omissions, first release Hasbro 20th/MP Prime, Car Robots (RID) Fire Convoy (Optimus Prime) as well as all of Animated, which is technically my two sons toys, so they didn't make it too the shelf, along with 25-30 TF's from Universe and some AEC that the boys and I "share".

I built the shelves from scratch, they are not quite done yet, and no, they are not crooked, the floor is sunk down in that spot (this is my finished basement).

A few more!

Feel free to play "Count the hidden Astro-mechs!" if you dare!

Thanks.

Unfortuatly I only get the top layer, the rest goes towards getting the rest of the kids' toys out of the rest of the house. I could have filled the whole thing about 10 years ago. But more and more I seem to want to streamline my collection.

Nice collection :APPLAUSE: From the amount of R2-D2s you have, I'm gonna guess that he's one of your favorite SW characters?

For some reason I just love the astromech. I think I have almost every "dome" headed astromech produced in the last few years, including the EE exclusive ones. But on the other side of that I can't stand the "flat" headed ones.

P.S. The most recent Walmart exclusive packs are in the house just not on the shelf yet!

Well, it was down for a while, and thinned out a bit, but my collection is back and displayed better than ever. Not shown are Cybertron Metroplex, My custom Omega Supreme, and all my SCF/HOS, they aren't out.

those were made from 2 x 6's, plywood, screws and a whole lotta elbow grease (with a bit of anger thrown in for good measure!) but there are some really great options out there.

Oddly enough, putting them on display made me sell more than it made me buy!

Mine is actually in the basement, but it's fully finished. We put the shelves up, and then one weekend while she was away I put them all up.
