Love your wife anally and the room will be safe!

The moment you have kids, the collection is gone. Gone for good that is! First the collection is gone to the loft, then it reappears into life, but quickly it will be demolished by your 2ft disaster on legs. Don't say it will not happen. I have seen it happen close to a dozen times by now. Be smart, be castrated!

As you might have guessed by now, I am not planning on having any mini-me's.

"Love.... Jaye says........"

It is not the perfect situation, but I was just trying to help you out a little!

That's a great setup you have there, I hadn't even noticed the mirrors till it was pointed out.

just need to clear out any other remaining furniture and extend your MOCs all around the room

I got that done But had kids first. My youngest is 6, they have become a reason to collect AF again. Actually more of an excuse. LOL. They both know what to touch and what not to. I let my Son take a figure or vehicle to bed with him on occasion and he thinks its cool. I had a room built for my crap tho. Guitars, Computers, Stereo, Models, AF.....

So in my case the reverse happened, if it weren't for these pesky kids I probably would never have got back into it. Now my Son is a driving force. He's one reason a Wolverine is next

Its MUCH easier to walk into Toys R us with Kids in tow too.

Stunning collection Steve! I'm hugely envious!

I've a very modest start to my collection, but I'm aimimg for a loose collection of the SAS and Shadows to start (vintage - I already have most of that subgroup as 25th Customs) then possibly move on to some carded SAS.
My main collection is Dr Who, though

Snapping pics of some stuff this morning and realised it's been a while since I've given Jaye the opportunity to go all "Trinny & Suzanna" on my choice of work shirts for the day, so thought I'd do some pics of the loose collection now it's all (well, that which will fit) in the cabinets.

Room is still far from finished, but here's the loose stuff:-

Watching the Skys:-












Join the Q:





A sea of Green:-







Pride of place in the middle:-










Closing in on the Baron from below:-
(got to love the SAS)














Action Force:-














Cobra:-







Is that an old man towing a box of junk I spot in the background?-








Paul - they never got made to "stand at the back" as was the plan, quite the opposite in fact (and no, they've not nicked it from Blades, it's one of the cross over "HAWK dressed as FANG" ones -







The Originals:-










The Full Monty:-




(excuse the Swaps/Trades/Customs bag stuffed down the back there)

(and they all light up at night too!)


Apologies for the pics being either too dark/ruined by the flash/ruined by me in the mirror - it's pretty hard to snap, hold camera steady and stay out of the mirror too.

For everyone I've traded with over the years - it's like a big Action Force version of "Where's wally" - "Where's My Old Stuff?"

And I know I posted pics of some of it before, but it's all in that's going in now, so figured I wanted to show the "Complete Works", and promise I'll not bore you all with it again, unless I get asked.

Steve

DAMN IT!!!!

The other week my sister-in-law-to be told me she'd moved something in the cabinet, and I couldn't see at all what she'd moved, until I now look at these photos.

The symetry of my SAS jeeps is all wrong!!!! The black roll bar one needs to be in the middle! NOOOOOO!!!! How did I sleep at night???

First job when I get home tonight is to switch them back around. Second job is to ring her and tell her I've found it!

HOLY sh*t Steve. That's an AF collectors wet dream. I noticed that Panther wasn't quite right tho. Wasn't going to say anything Loose figures is the only way to go Jonesy, much more tangible.

Its gearing up for 43 degree's tomorrow and I have a Beer waiting. Cheers guys.
