I wish I had a spare room.

I have been on here a while now and enjoyed looking at other peoples collections.
I think it only fair that I give you a peek at my stash.
Please do not take the piss out of my storage situation as I am a sensitive soul and already realise that it is crap!
My ball and chain has banished me to the garage roof and my two toddlers would love to break everything given half the chance :)

Any way's here are a few photo's, sorry I am no Arthur Bailey!

That's a superb collection you have there, believe me when I say there's plenty of us that wish we had some sort of dedicated display room! I have pretty much all our loft and you can stand up there so it was a big tick when we bought the place. The only main issues I have is with heat in summer and dust from the roof lining. Pretty much all my boxes have been flat packed and they're under our bed with some of my boxed stuff in either "really useful boxes" or wrapped in clear bin liners and taped up to stop damp and any kind of creepy crawlies from getting in. I regularly check for webs (i f*cking hate spiders) and mice! My figures are kept in individual blisters from small joes and they're then put in those really useful boxes and arranged by year. They're hidden in my wardrobe :-) It's not the display that gunghoeddie or stkhlmdk have but it's a nice way of organising the madness :-)

Cool collection. I don't have a collecting room. Just a lock up, maybe one day .......

At least its safe from the kids.

I wish Jon, as a poor man I have to be creative ;)

Cheers for the comments lads, nice to see I am not the only one banished to the breeze blocks lol.

Some cool stuff there :thumbsup:

I believe that the vast majority of collectors are in a similer situation.
I certainly know I'd also like to have a dedicated room (or 2) for all of my stuff too, rather than a loft full of cardboard boxes... it'll happen one day.

I feel quite fortunate to have the space available to me.

Great collection though some really nice stuff I like it.

What an ace collection!! Love it!

As for the toy room/storage situation - I'm lucky enough to have my room (at least until we have kids!) but it doesn't stop there!! The lofts still full, and the back of the garage!! Restraint? Moi?? Never!!!
