Luckily all of the base boards stick out pretty far, so they've actually well leveraged.That's a tall tower! You attach them together, don't you? Not worried about it being too top heavy?
I'm in the Bay Area, so rarely ever has anything major.We'll get an Earthquake sooner or later. That's when the real test begins.
If you live in Orange County, you would've felt the minor one we had 2ish weeks ago. :lol:

^ThisDang Kurosaki-san your collection is off the hook.
I really like your display case and figures. Also the katana in front of your TV
will inspire respectful behavior in the presense of such a a magnificant collection.
Where'd you get the display case? I'd love to get one just like that.
Not interested in taking them ALL off your hands, but may be very interested in quite a few of those guides depending on what you've got! Send me a PM if you're still looking to sell some! Thanks!Anyone here familiar with TimeWalkGames? Just found out they're shutting down. I only discovered them a roughly a year ago and wanted to pick up some SNES repros but they were just out of my price range. I literally bought a game from them a month ago since it was on sale. They recently shut down and I don't know of any other reputable sites that sell CiB (as in, with an original cardboard style box and not a plastic case) repros.
I've thought about that so many times that it's ridiculous, but it's easier said then done. You get the most value out of eBay but that's time consuming, heavy with fees, and a huge risk due to scammers. Selling on sites like CAG aren't much better, outside of less risk.
What I do know is I wanna get rid of most of my guide collection but guides have lost so much value over the last 1-2 years. And no, it's not just because of free online FAQs since these same guides used to sell for above MSRP just a few years back.
Thanks, it's not all that compared to others in this thread.Dang Kurosaki-san your collection is off the hook.

How is the case in terms of keeping out dust? I'd love to use this to display some of my favorite stuff.Thanks, it's not all that compared to others in this thread.
The display case is from Ikea; *lighting is sold separately for $15

Detolf is one of the most sought after display case of figure collectors. Ikea always runs out of this case.How is the case in terms of keeping out dust? I'd love to use this to display some of my favorite stuff.
Still, kinda pricey for $65, plus another $15 for lighting. Does Ikea ever have sales?
I had figures in one for a couple of years. They ended up with some dust on them, but not that much.Yeah, but that doesn't really answer my question... there's gaps between the side panels and doors, so I'm guessing it's not all that great at keeping out dust.
But it looks damn nice. I'll probably end up picking one up.
I only had it for about 2 months, so far no dust. It's pretty pricey but like I told others, you spend so much on these figures, you might as well display them elegantly. Theres other cheaper lighting solutions, Ikea have some that's battery operated but they don't shine as bright as the outlet ones. Also their plastic like, the one I has is metal.How is the case in terms of keeping out dust? I'd love to use this to display some of my favorite stuff.

The gaps are only on the sides of the front glass, with a small gap at the very top of the front as well.Yeah, but that doesn't really answer my question... there's gaps between the side panels and doors, so I'm guessing it's not all that great at keeping out dust.

I may have to order one of those. My Batman vs Killer Croc statue has been in the box since I got it last year because I had no book cases to put it on. If this one feels solid I may have to look into getting multiples and lining them up like you - just gotta see how it feels with the heavy statues.Detolf is one of the most sought after display case of figure collectors.

This is not my collection but heres an example of how figures look like inside
You can also search google for "detolf figure collection" to see more samples. Actually im planning on buying some of these cases in the future.
Making/Finding more space is always the fun part!Ran out of shelf space to put the PS3 Games in. Overflowwwww.
Not when you're trying to hide your new items to your collectionMaking/Finding more space is always the fun part!
Simple solution, just toss his bed out the window. :3Only if my bro didn't have his bed in my room. I would have enough space for a few more shelves. :/
Or convert it to a top only bunk bed while he's gone for the day, then start putting shelves underneath there. Sounds like a lot of work though.Simple solution, just toss his bed out the window. :3

I waited a good two months for these to be in stock at my local Ikea. I even took two trips when the website showed limited stock to find out that that the ones they had in stock were broken.Detolf is one of the most sought after display case of figure collectors. Ikea always runs out of this case.
Yea the expedit - not sure if they are long gone now or not from stores yet. The 5x5 version was $200.No sagging, and don't really expect them to. They are something like 6ft x 6ft.NICE! Are those shelves all ikea? How long have the guides been on there? Any sagging yet? I need specs and cost man!
I thought about projector, but since I'm using it for gaming didn't want any refresh issues. Maybe for next upgrade, but the 75in isn't too shabby anyway. I think i can get at least a 90" TV down the stairs =]God damn! That's nice!!
That wall behind your TV is just screaming to have a projector screen installed.
I have a few of those 2x3 Expedit units, they are rock solid for the past few years I've had them (miles better than any particle board POS). Then again I just use them as bookshelves in the kid's rooms, so they aren't given quite the same stress testing.Yea the expedit - not sure if they are long gone now or not.

This is the best thing I have seen all dayI was home this weekend and decided to update my pics and since this'll probably be the last time, though who knows.
I never realized how much shit I had. It's not just my collection, but also my trade fodder games/boxes/manuals and my secret stash of games, neither of which are cataloged. Plus, the shit I started building up at my apartment. It was fun going through everything though.:3
40+ pics coming up!!
Big ass cabinet and two small storage boxes! - Here are a majority of my sealed games for the PS2, PS3, 360, Wii and GC. There's also many DS/3DS, PSP and Vita games. It also holds my Saturn/Sega CD collections, which I'm pretty proud of since I started it back in 2011-ish, I think?
Notes: The two Lunar SS for the Sega CD are different, one is the original/1st print foil version that Working Designs made and the other regular version is the second print that Sega commissioned/manufactured (or something like that). Additionally, the foil copy I have is a super cool defect copy, where it actually has two covers on the manual! I also have random imports here and there and also realized I have 4x copies of the Skyward Sword bundle. k
Game Boy/Color/Advance/some more 3DS/PS1 oversized Working Design games! - These are here and there. I love my GB/GBC collection since, like my Saturn/Sega CD stuff, I started only a few years back. There's also some 3DS games I had to sneak in here.
Notes: The last pic has all of my sealed GB family games. Shantae is probably my single most valuable game, though the sealed The Last of Us Post-Pandemic Edition (coming up!) might be worth more.
Collectors Editions/guides/artbooks/misc stuff - These are basically organized as I could fit them.
Notes: Most of those CEs are sealed. Only one of the two LoU Post-Pandemics are sealed. I'm really glad I pre-ordered two and kept both!! I have a couple of the LoU import CEs too, the coolest one being the Italian Ellie Special Edition. I have two Ni No Wizard Editions, one sealed and one complete and I have a UK CE (that other PAL CE box is empty, outside of the Mite plush).
PC games - not much here, since Steam makes my "I hate digital" policy difficult to follow.
PS3/360/Wii/GC/PSP/DS/??? - Really hard to keep these organized due to space/sizes.
Notes: Some of these PSP games are sealed. Most of my DS games are sealed because I got an R4 (then AceKard) so I really didn't have a need to open them. I got a handful of PS3 import CEs that are kinda neat. I'm done with GC collecting for the most part though there are a few stragglers.
PS1 collection - the PS1 is probably my favorite collection. So many awesome RPG memories here.
Notes: I'm pretty much done with whatever I want for the PS1 outside of a few games that I've been too lazy to get. Not sure what else I can add that's worth adding (and not impossible to find).
PSP CEs, steelbooks, PS2 and misc - The bulk of my PS2 collection with random stuff here and there.
Note: PS2 is my largest collection. A lot of these used to be worth quite a bit but were reprinted or re-release as HD collection so they're not as vaulable anymore. I have the "Opeartion Rainfall" box/steelbooks... the real one from Europe, not the joke website.
DC/NES/SNES/N64 - I've been trying to bulk up these up, but it's been slow. Still, I'm happy with what I have thus far.
Note: My SNES/N64 collections are missing a lot of stuff I want (like EarthBound)... they're just so ing expensive, especially with all their little posters and stuff! I gave up on collection NES because they're so hard to find in decent CiB shape at a reasonable price.
Uncharted stuff - my two favorite pieces of swag, a Uncharted 2 store promo and the media kit for the original Uncharted.
Note: They wrist strap and smaller journal are from some Uncharted 3 thing, not related to the other two items. The Uncharted media kit is quite a bit larger than the Uncharted 2 promo box, the angle makes them look the same size. Both were made to look weathered books but are hollow boxes with a few pages of info and some other stuff. The Uncharted 2 box just has a lanyard inside and the Uncharted box has some puzzle, media content disc... and I forget what else.
My Apartment - new collection started here. I got a ton of shit over the last ~8 months.
Note: I have the LoU media kit, extra LoU USB music "tape" (same as the one in the media kit) and an unopened Uncharted 2 media kit. All the random cloths/sponges you see are for washing/detailing my car.
Trade fodder games/guides, empty boxes, and an old lamp - I really need to clean all this stuff out.
Note: The stuff in the 1st two pics aren't games, they're just empty case and manuals I've got lying around. It's funny how much empty cases and manuals go for these days for some games. That lamp is the bane of our family, because my mom refuses to throw it out even though it doesn't work.
Secret Stash - I've never posted anything here before so this is a first. The story is here, if you guys want to know why I call it my stash:This started before I was actually collecting and relates to FFVII. I played/beat FFVII during it's release, loved it but figured, I'd never re-play it again. A year or two later, I found a used/complete copy for $7.99 at a now defunct media store (can't remember it's name but I think it was midwest only retailer) because for $8, why not? Of course, this was during the PS1 RPG era and I really didn't have time to go back to it so I stashed it in my TV stand. I forgot about it and found it a few years later, just before Advent Children came out... I was able to sell that copy for $140 on eBay. After that, I started to randomly "stash" some games (my threshold is 50% of MSRP) I find by luck and for cheap, and then would sell them a few years later. Over the last gen though, this got out of control as I haven't kept track of these and it just kept building up...
Note: I have more games hidden away... in some of my pics, you might have noticed something stuck in a corner or in the background... yeah, there's about another 30 or so games hidden away. :lol:
And that's it kids! It's gonna suck dealing with all this shit... :lol:
Thanks!This is the best thing I have seen all day
