Collection shoot

[Orodruin]

The Link (http://www.monmouth.com/~hgreen/transformers/) Edit: Photos updated 8/12/05

So a few weeks ago I finally finished building my new shelving. I moved my cramped figures to new shelves that are much more spacious (54" wide up from 36", depth up from 12-15" to at least 18"). The wooden shelves are medium density fiberboard, with a 1x2 running under each edge. Total build time was about 7 hours (though I think I took an Adult Swim break in the middle) and total cost of the shelving was only about $40.

I also have some shots of my non-TF shelf, which is home to my Iron Men, my Big O figures, and a lone Batman Beyond figure.

I haven't uploaded the shots of some of the shelves yet, but I'll get to it sometime. Still waiting are: Armada Decepticons (mostly seekers), Universe and other random Decepticons, RID Armada and Universe Autobots, the Black repaint/e-hobby shelf, and the PVC/WST shelf.

Yay, first thread! *happy dance*

Yay, first thread! *happy dance*

Joins in on the dance. That's quite a setup you have there. Everything is so orderly. Nice job! How long did it take to get that far? :thumbs2:

[snkeyes069]

Really nice setup! I love all the G1s!

[Orodruin]

How long did it take to get that far? :thumbs2:

I've been adding to the 30 or so from my childhood since, oh, 2001 I guess. Most of it is from last year though. Better paying job + increase in addiction level. I just added shots of the collection from about a year ago, when I had only 100 bots. Hell of an increase in a year. :p Of course a lot of that is due to buying non-G1 lines.

[Chaos Muffin]

Killer collection man. Looks like Energon takes up more space than others. They always seem kind of crammed in displays. I got most of my stuff in single boxes, except for Energon, which takes 3.
Dig all the cool G1's. I got to get me one of those Ehobby Sunstorms & Hauler.
Sweet collection man

[Soundwarp]

Have i seen this on another board?
That is before i found this one hehe!

Awesome!

[Airraid]

That is a really nice collection. I wish I had that many Transformers.

[Orodruin]

General update: I combined my season 3 bots onto one shelf and split the Energon Decepticons up so they have more room. I'm planning to do some re-shooting today or tomorrow, so stay tuned.

Nope, this is the only TF board I post on. Though I did drop a link on Digital Metal once.

Cool :rock

Dont forget to re-shoot some of that Big O stuff as well :wink: because that's quite a little collection you have going there.

Again awsome collection looking forward to seeing some new pictures, I should really get around to reshooting my collection one of these days but most of its at my parents house out west :cry

[Orodruin]

Cool :rock

Got ya covered buddy. Here's a shot of the Big O collection featuring the newly aquired Big Duo figure set. The rest of the shoot should be edited and online tomorrow morning sometime.

[Soundwarp]

Yes yes more more!

[Orodruin]

Ok guys, it's all done! Everything has been uploaded, linked, sorted, etc. I added a new page with all the random extra stuff, including my black/e-hobby shelf and my PVCs (which is now my most crowded shelf by far!). I also split up the Energon decepticons so they look much better now. Enjoy!

[Soundwarp]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou!

[Soundwave.ca]

:rock

[Liokaiser]

Awesome collection!!!!

[Orodruin]

Gather round all, I did a total re-shoot yesterday! All the G1 shelves have been newly arranged (where needed) and fresh pictures are online. Also uploaded new shots of all the other shelves, with the exception of the WST/PVC shelf, alternators, and Cybertron shelves (cause I'm just too lazy right now). Enjoy!

[Liokaiser]

Very nice. Gott love those G1's.

[GALVATOM]

cool collection, its just huge! and that huge shelf works well too

[cefuroxx]

Looks like we're both pretty close to completing the g1 line, I have about 50-60 figures to go. How about you? Lemme know when you get yours completed. BTW, are those the japanese headmaster only heads I see there?

[Deefuzz]

wow man...You've got a really nice setup there. Great collection and it looks like it is displayed very well also.

Thanks for sharing!

Other than Hawk I'm not after any more pretenders, so I've only got 3 minispies and Reflector to go before I call it complete. There'll still be some Japanese stuff of course. The heads are the Brainmasters from Road Ceaser, I didn't want their springs going limp so I pulled them out of the cars. I do have one of the 6 HMs (Trizer I think) but he came after I did the shoot.

[MegaPrime33]

Now that's a collection! And Neat too! :thumbs2:

[cefuroxx]

Where are the action masters?

[Orodruin]

Where are the action masters?

Should've been more specific, my stop point is with the 6 Pretenders I have, I'm not counting anything past that. So no AMs, Pretenders, I do have some Micros but I'm not going nuts with them.

[cefuroxx]

Aww, you've come this far, might as well complete it, if you need any bots, let me know, we could help eachother out.

[Orodruin]

Haha, good try, but I just can't get into the Action Masters. And most of the pretenders aren't that exciting either. On top of that I wouldn't have anywhere to put them. As it is I don't have anywhere to put the BW figures I'm getting in now.

[cefuroxx]

I'm not that into the action masters, pretenders or micros either, but I can't call my g1 line complete without them, lemme know if you have any doubles, or if you need any bots.

[Orodruin]

I do have a few doubles but I don't remember what off hand. (mostly minibots) I'm planning on posting a sale thread in junkion sometime, keep an eye out. The only G1 things I'm looking for are Reflector and 3 minispies.

[Cobra_Commander]

by the matrix i lov that collection its amazin, n huge :lol

[Orodruin]

Here's some new shots, mostly new stuff since my last shoot. First up- Galaxy Force/Cybertron shelves!

Now, here's my e-hobby collection. I only included the standard e-hobby boxed figures (and black Starscream just cause), I didn't want to put some of the other exclusive repaints in the shot.

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b166/FireofOrodruin/ehobby.jpg

And here's all the exclusive figures I've bought recently, not counting e-hobby stuff and throwing in the reissues cause they're just that spiffy.

[Cataclizm1]

Amazing collection, man! :rock

[Soundwave.ca]

I'll say it again dude you have an awesome collection you have there man :rock

That Sonic Convoy is pure love too, glad to see you got one as well. Not to mention that Ehobby stuff rules.

[Orodruin]

So it's been a while since I've added new shots of stuff. Most of it's now in plastic tubs, but here's some quick (read: crappy) shots of stuff I have handy. First, the brick wall of Alternators and BTs. Not too exciting I know, but hey, I do have them. :p
http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b166/FireofOrodruin/collection/rand0001.jpg

This is the little temporary display thing I have on a shelf in my closet. It's more a way to keep everything out of the way and still have it looking nice than really putting effort into displaying them.

[Optimus Scourge]

[Orodruin]

Time to show off my current reigning jewels. :) Of course they'll be bumped from the throne shortly when another package arrives...

Ebay actually, for all of them. Got lucky with some BINs on a few of the heads, the rest I just snagged regularly.

And here's a shot of my Battle Beast horde, minus the chariots-

[Wajo357]

would you like to share your auction links? :)

[Orodruin]

Sorry man, they've been over for a while and I don't keep track of them once I have the figures.

[Soundwave.ca]

Once again my hat goes off to you sir.

Great stuff man, do you plan on taking more pics of your stuff, if not you should, your photo skills have defiantly improved man would love to see more :thumb

Thanks! :) I'll be taking pics of as much stuff as I can, as time permits. Plus once it comes out of storage again of course. I'm going to do the season 2 Maximals later this morning, keep an eye on the Cool Stuff thread for 'em. :)

[Rattrap587]

Impressive stuff man... Lots of Alternators... WOW...

[Razorclaw]

Your collection is great Orodruin.

[Orodruin]

Wow it's been forever since I added to this. I think I'm going to try to update a bit. First up, since I have pics handy, are my BW show characters. (All my BW stuff is boxed up now, but they're on the short list for shelf space if I get some.)

I've actually got all the Cyborg beasts now but the others are packed away.

This is going to be really hard to keep track of...

[Orodruin]

And here's some quick/crappy shots of my full WST lineup, minus the Dinobots. (Totally forgot about them since they weren't in the box. Oops.)
