Actually, it's self cleaning. Kinda. Whenever a new figure comes in, I usually bring out related figures. I.e. repainted versions of the same mold, previous incarnations of the character, or team mates, or arch rivals. Like when TF Prime Wheeljack came in, I got all of my Wheeljacks down and compared and contrasted. Basically played with them. Transformed them all and dusted them, and after a few days, I place them back on the shelf and added Jack to the "Prime" shrine. God forbid a new Optimus comes in the mail...

Very impressive. Must have taken a lot of time and a lot of fun to set this up. Takes a lot of dedication, patience and wallet. Good job.

Thanks friend! I know it's not the biggest baddest collection of all time, but it has been a fun ride. So many figures in that room have their own story and circumstance. Many have come from friends, colleagues and fellow collectors. It's as much a collection as it is a tribute to the diversity passion and ingenuity of the fans and designers alike.

Wow... Your collection is awesome... I will post mine over the weekend

Thanks friend!

That is an amazing collection and the way you have it organized is fantastic! Its really awesome to see the complete years standing together like that

Thanks friend. I try to keep the focus of the room on G1 US figures, but SO much badassary has been unleashed lately that its getting harder to justify the space dedication. Thanks for checking it out!

Ok, I've just come across this again, and I'm speechless at how tidy it all looks.
That is.. just.. wow.

And this picture is excellent:

Thanks Va'al! I've since added another shelf around the entire of the room and 2 more of the glass Detolf's shelves. I'll be ready to add a new pic or two as soon as my LED tape lighting kit arrives for the interior glass shelving units! I do so much enjoy my little collection!

Cool. I'm speechless.

Thanks friend! I've added several hundred more figs since these photos. Also added two more glass cases to the center of the room. I hope one day to have professional glass shelving installed but until then, adjustable brackets will have to work. "Dusting" one figure a night or so keeps me appreciative and helps me weed out figures that are not the important to me. I'm currrently filling boxes with less important bots' and con's in order to better present my fav's. Thanks for checking it out!

Multi-Force 14! I had that as a kid, then sold it in a garage sale because it wasn't a "real" Transformer. I'm still kicking myself for that!! Thank God I saved the Diaclone drivers.
