Nice Collection OX :banana

[The Dwimmerlaik]

Nice collection there, only 2 questions where do you sleep and where do you got he replica of the Frodo costume?¿

[oxbeard]

Thanks guys. Didn't realize how daunting a task pics would be until I got started. Guess I'll try to do a shelf a day or something for more detailed pics and spread it out a little bit.

only 2 questions where do you sleep and where do you got he replica of the Frodo costume?¿

Actually the Part 4 pics are from our bedroom. 1/4 Dracula is actually displayed on the nightstand LOL.

As for the Frodo costume, that was actually my oldest son's halloween costume 2 years ago. After Halloween, I picked up a child mannequin, the UC replica One Ring on chain and Brooch. Figured it would look pretty cool in the display. Planning on adding UC Sting as some point as well, will have to research some pics though to craft the belt.

[The Dwimmerlaik]

Thanks for the answers lol that costume really looks as the exact reaplicai think is because is far

[Gruson]

Some nice pieces for sure but you really need to clear out a lot...way too much clutter and it just looks "junky."

[Fubeca]

HOLY CRAP! :horror :google

One question for you, What in hell do you do for work?

[Shai Hulud]

A great collection !!!!

[Beruthiel]

I don't really know what to say. There is so much stuff there! Can't see most of it, but obviously it is a room that is stuffed to the gills with, well, I don't know what. A little organization is in order to best show it all off I think. My interest is in the LOTR things, but the way it's all in that room, it's hard to see anything at all. How in th eworld do you keep the dust bunnies at bay?

[Shai Hulud]

As opposed to the others,I like the way your collection is displayed...People entering this room will always discover something they didnt see the last time..It look like a giant toy store...

[Zoomaround]

I love the collection and I enjoyed playing FIND WALDO.

Living in earthquake country, I'd NEVER be able to display my collection like this.


Thanks for sharing.

Thanks Shaihulud, I really expected a fair amount of criticism about the organization or 'clutter'. I know there are quite a few here who like 'museum like' displays. Not that there is anything wrong with that, it's just not my cup of tea.

I have actually tried to spread things out in the past which obviously requires boxing a lot of things up. Frankly I can't stand it, I like to have everything out where I can see and enjoy it. Figure it isn't worth having if it's not displayed and once I get it, I can't stand to get the thought of getting rid of anything.

Most of the 'clutter' though comes from action figures; Hasbro, Toy-Biz, Mezco, etc. And a couple years ago I even though about just boxing those up and display the statues and busts, but in the end I can't give up the 'toys' either they are what started me collecting in the first place.

As far as dusting goes, it really isn't too bad. I just have to bite the big one every once and a while and go through dusting and checking everything.

[spluto80]

I love your collection. Do you have more close ups? I want to see more!

[oxbeard]

Thanks guys. I'm still working on more pics. I'm just notoriously slow :rolleyes:

Actually the display has already changed quite a bit. The first few days of Fantacular we had some big plumbling problems and I basically had to completely take down my main display in my theatre room. Still working on getting it all back together. Fortunately no damage, just the incovenience of having to move everything to get the repairs done.

Looks very different now because my wife and I decided to actually separate my toy collectibles from my higher end collectibles. There's still a little overlap, but most all of the action figures have found a new home in a different display. Didn't think I would ever change it around this much, but I have to admit I do like it. I'm just resistant to change :D

Anyway more pictures to come hopefully sooner rather than later.

Oxbeard, in the words of the estimable Ronald Weasley: "Bloody Hell!"
That is what I call A COLLECTION!!!!:horror :google

Very cool!

[Mini-Rock]

HOLY MOLY OX! Taking inventory must be a PITA! Not my cup of tea, but I definitely have respect for anyone who can build, and manage, such a massive collection. Kudos! :)

[the2fetters]

:horror Holy ^^^^^ :horror

It looks like a collectables storefront, and even more so. Thank god for you Oxbeard.:angelsmil Now I can show your collection to my wife, and tell her my sickness could be much worse. :joy

Seriously though, Wow, how long have you been collecting? How is your wife with all this? Have you posted the reconfiguration pics yet? Wow, so much stuff....... :fireworks

[Anakin]

amazing collection. the best in this forum hands down. i luv to see big collections of people that collect other things than star wars. star wars only collections looks always boring to me.

Thanks for the comments guys!!

I guess I've been seriously collected for 12 or 13 years now. But I do have some items I have had longer than that. My wife has been amazing and actually has helped to find a lot of the items I have. She definitely has her favorites of the collection though, as well as those "What the heck were you thinking" pieces too. I have to admit I have finally started to stress her for a change over the past year while I've been moving to the higher end stuff.

Having taken any of the new pics yet. Actually have decided to wait until after the first of the year when some of my new stuff from SS is susposed to release.

[SpenK]

Your Collection is Truly Amazing... The Only thing is that you need to use some diplay system to really Show Your Outstanding amount of Pieces....:D
