My collection (500+)

Wolfdawg · 06-29-2012, 10:34 AM

I usually display between 300-400 TF's on 4 black bookcases. Trust me, I know how bad the dust can get. I try to dust once a month, but it's a royal pain in the ass taking the figures off and then reorganizing. It's pretty much a day long process, but I find it oddly relaxing...

Still, nice collection dude. Can't wait to see how they all look when you get your Detolfs. I've been looking in to buying 4-6 Detolfs, but there's no Ikea here in Louisiana, and their shipping prices are just ridiculous...

Thanks! I found those yesterday and I keep trying to think of the next time I'll be in Sacramento...

i use non achole non fragranted baby wipes to get rid of the heavy dust on most figures dont use them on figures with stickers lol

there are these magnitic dusters if you just twirl them near the figures once a month after a proper clean the dust just flys towards them makes a all day job an hour one lol

nice energon toys by the way i see you have sixshoot damb he is hard to find

You've got a lot of great figures!

I was pretty amazed as to how many times you went to the movies!

TrueNomadSkies · 06-30-2012, 01:36 AM

Well, those are mostly for different movies though, right?

Like, unless he bought tickets to other stuff & then snuck into see Transformers or something...

I'll look into the magnetic duster, but I don't think I'm comfortable with the wipes touching my figures lol.

And thanks. Is he really? I picked him up at retail when I was 7(I'm 14 now). I have Mirage coming from BBTS next month, so I'll have to squeeze another figure on that shelf...

Thanks! Though Nomad is right, those are for different movies. Only the ones at the top are TF movies. Four for TFTM, six for ROTF, and two for DOTM

Wow, you're 14? That makes this collection all the more impressive (and also explains the lack of G1/G2/Beast Era figures). I'm a high school teacher (9th and 10th grade) and it's always weird meeting a fellow collector who could very well be one of my students, lol.

Hey, thanks. It'd be awesome to have a teacher with the same hobby.
