Blood for the Baron!

Yeah, it's a delimer...looking @ the price of display cabinets I often end up thinking how many more toys I could purchase for the same amount in cash.

I'll do a few more pics later, Mark.

I will admit the cost of the cases + the cabinet was shall we say a hefty expense, but for me a worthwhile cause. I needed to do it I've been thinking
About it for a year or more, I can now look at getting more in the main room as I can now add shelves and so on as the cardbacks won't be in the way, I want it to make me marvel every time I walk upstairs, I'm not done yet I am now thinking about how I can enhance the command centre, we shall see.

I see the benefit of the cases, and dude, I marvel at your lot every time you post a picture.

For me it's about making a nice display and also protecting the items. I already have more than enough toys to fill my toy room three times over, so as tempting as it is to buy more from different ranges these days my money is better spent making the most of what I have, rather than adding to the boxes in the loft!

Eddie - the Command Centre definitely has the "wow" factor! Or, to be more precise, the "Holy sh*t" factor!!

WELL SAID!

I think sometimes we get lost with buying and we tend to loose focus sometimes. i know i have had it happen several times and i always look back and say. why did i spend all that money to have added yet another toy line. so i have thined out whats not important to me.

a few more snaps, i have made a few tweeks here and there. i think i'm happy now.

wow, working on mine this afternoon but im not holding out any hope it will be as impressive.

Bloody magnificent, mate.

thank you guys it means a lot to me, i do have an Action Man poster to frame and hang in that area, which should finish it off nicely.

i used to and still do look at other collections like steve's and pauls and think how amazing it looked so neat and tidy, i never thought for a second that i would follow the same path.
i think i'd got to a point where i had enough toys but it needed a decent display to warrant the effort made in getting the stuff.
i have more options now than before and there are still many items i haven't got and would like to get so a reimagining of the main room may have to happen to give me the scope to fit new stuff in, i don't know if i will return to loose items but if i see something i like then why not, i do often wonder what it would look like if i had a whole wall floor to ceiling of boxed AF AM and SW...hmmm.

What about a diorama table of your loose toys? Complete with scenery?
