Yeah, the coding of the site removes spaces before the emotes when editing, quoting and stuff. Super annoying. Well, I've improved the quote a bit more with context, fixed the bot symbol snafu and we've started a new page. Bye bye new pics

Errybody!! Go back a page and see the context!!

You win the internet, sir!!

I decided that all was the answer... except nipples and forearms of course. The backpack / roof is serviceable and obligatory. The hat is actually my fav and works better than expected. I'm not so sure about the combiner peg. I took advantage of our over cast sky, but all the light made photographing dark plastic and light stickers hard.





I might pull the peg sticker and put a small silver backed on the left blue chesticle. Thoughts, suggestions?

still no to the forearms

The chest symbol is the clear winner

It's a shame his nips are so small ( ), that woulda been the best place for one but you'd need such a small sticker that it'd have no impact.

yeah the smallest I have is the same size as the one on the hat.

I'm going give it a few days and see how they grow in me. The only thing I don't like about the chest sticker is how you can't get a good straight on look at it. Also having it and the hat seems a bit much. I feel it should be one or the other.

Given the choices and placement I've seen, I still think the forearms win.

So I'm trying something different with my collection. I'm using my larger shelves as a pure storage type display. I have figures crammed in like sardines. They are still out and available for a quick play or for pictures.


That's a lot of bots

On my smaller cube/cubby shelves I'm doing more focused rotating displays. Basically they will be more interactive as I move figures in and out. Here's a couple of early experiments/examples.


Minions


3's & 7's


Creepy Crawlies or 6's & 8's

Dude.

Excellent.



That's where I need to be with my display. Very classy.

Lookin' good!

I really like the theme and color pallet of 3's.



I didn't know/remember you had Gen Streak. Cool!

Thanks guys.

I picked up Bluestreak from our man Cram.

I should have called 3's...



...you know for Sixer's 7th unofficial mode, but I didn't think anyone would have caught the QotSA reference (fixed)

Glad you guys liked it.

Now I need to make a Decepticon moshpit and a 2nd Autobot shelf and figure out what to do with all the empty cubbies

Creepy crawly shelf is carefully curated, I couldn't not comment.

Creat stuff, cary!

Thanks, I'm really happy with what I've got going on and excited about having a direction for my displays.

So while I was waffling on names for the displays I had named the Creepy Crawlies just Insects. I realized that I had several arachnids of the scorpion variety. Boom renamed, then I remembered another arachnid, Blackarachnia.

Lookit dem bugs. So many bugs.

Somebody call an exterminator!

Kill them!! Kill them dead!!

Don't kill my robugbuddies

I'm very happy with the way Blackarachnia turned out

Someday when I have a place, I hope my shelves can turn out as good as your Cary. I have some ideas, but yours looks fantastic!

Thanks man, I've been struggling for years to find my voice and it feels good to finally have a clear direction to head in. I hope to one day soon replace those crappy pics on the first post.

I still want to replace my shelves with "classier" built-ins in the future, but I'm working with what I have for now.

Good luck to you on finding your display/collection path. I don't think it's a matter of what's best, but what's best for you

I have this hope that I can have an end table with Trypticon and Metroplex brawling. And a larger table display modeled after Swerve's bar, including a pair of combiner sized stools, for my Lost light crew. other than that, it would be by category like aligned, movie, Generations, etc.

That's the hope at least! and I agree on the built-ins

It's time for everyone's favorite game; WHAT'S IN THE FRAKKIN BOX?



Hehe, I know this is going drive folks crazy. Well you're just going have to wait. I will give the scope though, it's a big box and a shajaki level haul

First guess: Stuff!
Second guess: Things!
Third guess: Stuff AND things!

@Sigma - nailed it! But let me expand on that









I kinda went 3p crazy, but all them sales!
