I tend to display by series. How i orginise each individual series veries, but a rule of largest first, then work you way foward always works.

Third Shelf: Energon and Energon Attacktix

Above the two display cases:
C Primus, A Unicron, 3" Titainiums, Robot Heros and a knockoff Kabaya of Road Ceasar.

First display case:

Second Shelf: Remaining G1 Autobots
Third Shelf: Alt/BT Autobots
Forth Shelf: G1 Metroplex and Micromasters

Second display case:
Top Shelf: Important/larger G1 Decpeticons
Second Shelf: Remaining G1 Decepticons
Third Shelf: Alt/BT Decepticons

Weapon: Particle Beam Cannon
Since the inception of my recollection I always had my TF display in our bedroom. It wasn't until we moved into a three bedroom townhouse in 2003 that I got my own TF / Copmuter room. So the re-arranging we'll have to do in preparation for our third child won't be shocking to her.

My wife was the only girl between the siblings so she was kind of a tomboy and played with her brother's GI Joes and Transformers. She always been supportive of my hobby since I started recollecting. So having the TF display back in the bedroom won't be much of an adjustment for her.

However I will have to seriously pair down my collection from what's on display. I won't be able to display everything. I will only be able to display one version of each mold. #-o

I have all mine on a single book case Classics sitting next to the Movie line Alts next to Energon etc. I don't really care if they aren't separated by lines or factions :)

I've got two bookshelves displaying my collection right now. Originally each line had its own shelf, with the exception of the movie line (one shelf for Autobots, one for Decepticons). After Christmas I reorganized to make more room for all of these new movie figures. The current groupings:

MISB movie stuff -the G1 repaints and Bee evolution set
Movie screen battles sets/movie robot heroes
Movie on-screen Autobots
Movie on-screen Decepticons
Movie not on-screen characters (new Allspark line)
Cybertron/Titanium
Classics/Beast Wars anniversary
MPs with G1 robot heroes
G1 and Encores

I don't plan on getting a new shelf anytime soon so when animated hits I'll probably pack up the Cybertron/Titanium shelf to make room.

I tend to keep factions seperate, but I dont mind if series co-mingle. Its sorta silly to see G1 Sideswipe next to Beast Machines Silverbolt (also because Sideswipe is not at all uberly crappy like SB).

Lately though my newer decepticon purchases are getting into my newer autobot purchases. Those Real Gear figs took up more space than I'd imagine D:

Doesn't anyone ever put (for example) all versions of Prime together?

I had a Prime area for a while, but before letting his rank go to his head, I desided to break them up and disperse them to oversee different areas of activity.

I often put G1 Ravage with the Classics cos he's so poseable and about the same scale. Often Laserbeak gets in there too.
