A few things:

First, that is absolutely, some of the best shelving I’ve seen, nice choice. Second, You’ve organized you’re collection very well, and it doesn’t look too cluttered. All of your pieces are quite easy to spot, I like that. And lastly, I saw a good number of interesting, uncommon pieces in there.

That’s a really nice collection!

I never was into any of the Beast-era stuff, but who is that big octopus guy? Nice collection.

A nice well arranged collection. A collection is often defined by the rare pieces it has and you have it in spades. :APPLAUSE:

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Nekoman.
The shelving's from Ikea, some of the more durable in cheap shelving. I'll get a shot of a full unit for reference. On the clutter thing though, I've found that recently the Autobots are getting more of the bigger figures (or at least had more I liked), which makes it slightly more crowded in there. I'll probably be moving Omega Supreme to the Oversized shelf to make more room. I am pleased with my collection, and I'm trying to track down some of the BW Botcon exclusives and a few more Japanese figs to fully round out the Beast Wars line (if anyone's got some they wanna part with, drop me a PM :P). It's going to be tougher next year when I start school and give up the lovely money that comes with having a job.

Thanks ultraconvoy. My absolute favourite is the odd one out: God Ginrai. He's one of only a handful of G1 figs that I own, but I've been wanting him since I first saw a pic of him about 13 years back, and now I got him.

Thank olokin
I thank Botcon for making me realise that I had a bigger budget for collecting than I first thought. It was my first TF convention and I spent about 850 USD on TFs there. I then realised after looking at my bank accounts, that while I was making money I could affoard to spend a little more and not have it impact my other facets of my wallet, i.e. food, rent and taxes.

That's a cool collection. I'd like to see it, except I'd have to go to Canada to do so.

I have updated the Autobots, Decepticons and Shattered Glass photos. Some of the sorting is a little disjointed but in a couple weeks it'll be time for their dusting so I'll get them all fixed up then.

Mkall I wish my stuff was half as organized as yours.

I like the shelves you've chosen and especially your Tako Tank and Henkei Wildrider. Your making me jealous :D

Full Collection Update!

After much deliberation, I've decided to box my Beast Wars figs to make room for my main line. So That's why there's a lot of room left on many of my shelves. Don't expect that space to last long though!

dude NICE collection. I LOVE he shelf with Scourge and the sweeps and Cyclonus and his minions. I like how your collection is very precise and well thought out as to it's contents. Some of the best most recent stuff in there. Let me know if you want to come off that Botcon Bugbite hahahah! I know, fat chance. Sweet collection!

That's a nice collection there, looks very well taken care of. :) I like the Beast Wars stuff, I never even seen all the BW toys that came out. They're some of the most accurate ones as well. I have only a fraction of your quantity, they would all fit on one of those shelves! :P

Love that Botcon Huffer.

I also sure wouldn't mind having that black Energon Rodimus.

Tako Tank makes me very envious, too. Along with WindRazor.

The Mutants shelf is nice. I've recently put them on my short list after reading the entries in the Beast Wars Sourcebook.

Who is the bright green and gray Cybertron Defense Hotshot Repaint, and who are the pair of dark green figures next to him in the Bot5.jpg photo?

In Bot7.jpg, who is the blue bot with what looks to be wheel feet?

That's an impressive collection!

Sorry, I just got him myself, so I'm not parting with him

Tako Tank is easily my most favourite BW piece. Windrazor is nice too

That would Be Botcon Springer, and the twins are a custom made Rack n Ruin, made by Prowl Pants

In Bot7.jpg, who is the blue bot with what looks to be wheel feet?

That would be Battle Rollar, made by TFCToys

That's an impressive collection!

Thanks!

Sweet Collection, nice layout of everything, most certainly cool. B-)

Did you happen to do some tallying as you were taking pics ? I wasn't about to go through all your pics and attempt the number crunching myself.

I wish I could get mine to look that nice. I have so many that seem haphazardly stuck together, and at some points, I think they may even look a bit too cluttered. You have done wonders here.
