My room is my collection. Although I'm starting to run out of space rather quickly, it's gotten to the point where I've started to out some on top on my TV.

One wall of my computer is all shelves full of figures, and then I've got a few pieces scattered about the room. I tend to pick up and play with/transform at least one figure a day and things move about a little as I toy with them. But for the most part they all stay in the one room.

most of my collection is in storage. While what is out is on an ikea bookshelf in my living room, with beast wars prime and megatron on my television and primus in the middle. There would be more out but my wife says she is tired of the house looking like a toy store. plus with 6 month old curious twin boys running around i can't keep that much out.

Mine sit on a 5 shelf unit, all continuities mixed except movie figures that have taken over their own shelf. All displayed in robot mode except for Cybertron Skorponok, mini-cons, and OP protoform entry mode.

As of 6-14 just mixed the movie figures in with other continuities (for now).

I have a cabinet that I shove most of mine into. My MP-04 Optimus will ALWAYS, however, be on display. All the ones I want to fiddle around with tend to sit on my couch or coffee table.

Well my house showcases all of my collections but as far as Transformers are concerned I have some shelves in the den with the brunt of my G1's displayed (I have all of the US G1's). Gestalts are displayed in our bedroom.
My micromasters are stored in a box in our closet.

Classics are displayed on top of one of my speakers (big speakers.. 18" woofers).

I have so much that I cannot display simply due to the lack of space..

I have most of my stuff displayed in the den. There's about 5-6 cases packed up in the closet which I rotate every few months.

This isn't my current display, as the picture is a year or two old, but it usually looks about like this:

Fortunately compared to some my collection is still rather small. But currently some of it is on shelves in my sons bed room. The Alts are on top of my TV stand in the living room and the Tits are on a bookcase. The ones most important to me are in my bedroom namely the MP, classics, and the figures I picked up at botcon 05.

I haven't found a place for the movie figures yet so they are currently in my room. Everything that I deemed unworthy of display is in my sons toy box. Mostly a large portion of Armada and Energon figures.

I have about 480 figs if you count that as a big collection. There in one room I call the Transformer room.

Here's pics. However they are six months old, no movie toys!

I have a room that I use to build models and display my collection. My TF collection is still relatively small, but I have a several adjustable wall mounted shelves, and a glass curio cabinet from Ikea. I'll soon be adding two more curios.

I put most in storage now, 1500 figures and boxes takes up a lot of space.

When I lived in the US, I had a closet that I converted into a Transformers Room. Now that I live in Japan, I'm content with a couple of shelves in the corner of my living room with the Masterpiece line, Classics line, and Movie line on dispaly.

I have keep a lot of the MISB stuff stored in cardboard boxes that are quite large. My alternators collection is in a very strange shaped projection TV box. Fits the entire line perfectly. A lot of stuff is in various stages of display

More than half of my collection is in storage since most are MISB/MOSC. The rest I have on display in the bedroom on the cheapest IKEA shelves I can find. Eventually when I get a bigger place, I like to have custom glass cabinets made for my vintage collection.

I don't have a HUGE collection (under 200 still), but I keep my Alts and their other incarnations (any figure that's a G1 homage) on a shelf above my entertainment center. My Primes, Megatrons, Rodimuses (Rodimi :lol:), Soundwaves and Starscreams, and my lone movie figure Wreckage are all on my tower speakers and computer desk (which is part of the entertainment center). Thundercrackers, Skywarps and Jetfires are on top of the monitor, because I haven't got many of them. The rest of my collection is displayed on a big shelf in my closet, as it's the only place I've got room. There are also a few I don't really like or are too broken to display in a box where I keep all my packaging.

I really should get around to taking pics one of these days...
