your going to have to dedicate an entire floor of your house, never mind a room for your collection Ed
Can't wait to see the room when it's ready.
For my birthday my wee sis got me a mouse mat with Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow on it and a mug with ' Cobra Wants You '. Very pleased with them both

The Major Flagg memorial wing, Eddie? Nice mug Gav.
My haul of AM hasn't arrived yet, and I'm getting that anxious feeling in the pit of my gut. However, SteveD sent me a heap of figures and a Swamp Skier, so my AF's are nearly complete

. I'll get some pics out this weekend hopefully, been cleaning a few of them up, that weird Pommy dust gets everywhere. Nearly up to 200 chaps, as many as are in Eddies bottom drawer, I'd imagine?

That's a good point actually Eddie. I don't think I have ever had my own entire collection out at the same time! I wouldn't know what size of room I'd need to display it in....?
I suppose you do the best with the space you've got.
I'm going to share my personal dream with you now..... a home cinema / display room. I've wanted the dream set up for years now. Big screen, blue ray movies, glass cases with superb action force stuff on every wall except the wall with the beer fridge next to it. All natural light blocked out to avoid glare on the screen and yellowing to the white figures.
I think it might be achievable one day. I'll have to make my millions first.

I want a home cinema, full size screen, but with a swimming pool in front and an inflatable armchair.
