Yea, apparently the outer pieces are thinner now. Makes sense for them to save money that way since im sure they sell a crapton. Still glad i got the old version though, since its more aesthetically pleasing to me. I actually just bought a second 5x5 today. Hopefully contains all the pieces this time
Different design. Different name. Plus there's no guarantee Ikea would keep the same configurations, specifically the one I wanted:
I'm jealous. I've been wanting to get at least one of those for a couple of years now, but their shipping prices are outrageous.
hey, just a heads up and some info for anyone else with collections (sentimental or valuable, but more valuable)-- you NEED supplemental insurance on these specific items. Your homeowners or renters insurance will not cover loss of specific collections over a given $ amount. I have my comic collection separately insured against loss and damages (well at least key silver age stuff). All that needed to be appraised and a separate policy written up for. You can find info about these limitations on the web, but don't get surprised if you need to log a claim and you get
all nothing for your collections that are valued in the thousands of dollars.
I know you need separate riders for some individual items like jewerly....but didn't think you needed a policy for a lot of separate items and it would just be covered under the "contents" section. Couldn't the same thing be said for clothes?hey, just a heads up and some info for anyone else with collections (sentimental or valuable, but more valuable)-- you NEED supplemental insurance on these specific items.

and no, I'm no Sy Sperling trying to sell you, but I don't want anyone to get burned. Many of these collections I see posted here would definitely need separate policies.
love the gaming pron, and need to get some photos up, but it's still a mess in my cave. And I haven't gotten some Nintendo posters from the Club framed yet. Anyway, hope this helps someone.
Damn that's cool. How did you make that? Did you just take a box and stick the printed artwork on it? Or is the box printed like that?Thank you!
Not quite the same, but I made this today
Thanks!
I've made plenty of boxes with the art directly applied, but this technique is quick, simple, effective both in presentation and time/money spent
That isn't counting my many arcade games on my Xbox or all the PS+ games I got on my 1TB PS3 from the past couple years. And all the games on my vita I got from PS+ and played a couple minutes of. I think after I get this next shipment of games at the end of the week I'll upload a pic. Granted that the pre-owned games I bought come with original case and cover art.

I rubberband the chords and store them in a drawer, although I imagine that doesn't work as well when you have that many (I've got about two dozen or so; 100+ would be crazy).
This is what I do. I don't wrap them around the controller (can result in the cords being warped) and I don't bundle them like ribbons (giving them the zig-zag pattern). I just roll it up and use a velcro zip tie thing.
Worse than the warped cords, they're usually weakest at the point where the wires and controller meet. When you wrap them around, it usually puts a lot of stress on it, and I've seen a lot of old controllers with the rubber jacket separate from the controller.
100 ties for $7.
After cleaned and ready to store, a rubber band on just the cord then seal in a ziploc bag. Sounds silly, but really helps with things not getting tangled, even if they are all tied. A 60-pack isn't all that much (~$5) and it makes it really easy to store and take out whenever you need it from a drawer, cabinet, or wherever you put them all.
That's gonna look so damn awesome.We're moving to a place with less walls than our current place, so there's less space for shelves. Except for this 12' wall in a recessed area. So I expanded my 60" Elfa to 140". We put the tracks up this past weekend, and I just put up the two rows of shelves today, while the missus put away dishes.
PS3/360 games and a bluray case for scale (came from gohastings, so it's just about the only media I have that's not packed).
And I filled 5.5 large boxes with Lego sets. I think I have a hoarding problem.
Edit: My previous post from 3+ years ago with the 60" Elfa.
I don't know much about them, but they have a much bigger selection on their web site and although the cases are 2 cents more, the shipping is slightly cheaper ($2.39 to CA instead of $3.99).
Luckily all of the base boards stick out pretty far, so they've actually well leveraged.
I'm in the Bay Area, so rarely ever has anything major.
