New Shelf and Room Redo…

IMG_0261 [pictures]

Another late update. Been cleaning and re organizing my room since I recently cleared out my old lego stuff and bought a new shelf for my figures. Soon at least a few of my figures will not be what some of people call it figure prison. As you can see, it’s a mess, I need to empty my other shelf so I can move it to the left a bit so I have room for the shelf. I originally planned on putting it beside the door to my bathroom but the problem is when I open the door after my hot shower and I worry about figure leaning or the heat from there will damage my figures. So I changed my plans and put it between my two shelves.

The shelf came in the box. Well, it’s real heavy. Trying to bring this upstairs to my room was a pain. It’s heavy…two people is a must… Well, also two people is a must when building this. It’s too hard to build it with one person. Also glass is fragile and I had to be very careful!!!

Well, look what I found after digging through the bottom of my shelf. I haven’t touched this for 2 years since I bought it around 3 years ago. How long ago was the last time Nanoha A’s was out…a few years I say. Maybe I’ll open it soon. When I add a new feature to the site (not telling what it is yet).

After an hour or 2 reorganizing and building…finally done… As you can see the shelf on the far left, it’s been moved and it’s a lot neater then it was before. Figures will go inside that shelf. The thing is which figure…with a collection that is over 100 figures, it hard to decide which should I take out of the box. Decisions…decisions…hard choice…

On a side note. I think the figure guess was way to easy as many pointed out. Everyone got it right. Well, I’ll do a harder one in the near future and with prizes as well!!!

The answer to the figure guess is: Queen Blade Airi, Shining Wind Elwing and Kanon Makoto. Will do a harder one soon!!!

Well, be putting in figures into my new shelf!!!! Some figures of mine will get lucky and be out of the box.

You think it’s a good idea to keep figures in a box or take them out?

For me, I keep them in boxes and a few out of the box. Reason why, dust. I have a hell of a time each week to clean my figrues from the dust that starts building after a few days.

          Hi,
          nice shelf u got there, i have the same :)
          I bought it in an Ikea for 39,95€ + a spot for 10€ (it looks really nice), it would have cost 70€ to ship it and i was lucky that my sis was going there to buy something. And yea, this thing is fu***** heavy, but i managed to lift it alone, couldnt let my sis do hard work :d. I even managed to build it alone, some tape to hold the glass together works wonders when building it :D

          Here are some pics from mine, unfortunately i dont have over 100 figures, but i hope to have soon more.

              Why don’t u do a post and let us (readers) choose which figures goes inside ur new shelf? ^^
              I prefer them out of the box as u get the see the great quality and detail of the figure. U only see half of that in the box.

                Shelf like that will help you protecting your figure from the dust, so if i were you, i wouldn’t worry to much about getting it out of the box. Just take them out while you can.

                  Lots of goodies in your room XD

                  I agree, that’s a very stylish shelf you’ve got there. I’m looking forward to your next figure guess!

                    Yeah, dust can be a problem but, the new shelf you got should keep them from getting too dusty (since it looks like it has a glass door).

                    I want all those shelves…

                      Lovelyduckie: For me, if you have that much otaku goodies, it’s a lot harder to do that…

                      Optic: I’ll ask this then, Optic, what you think which figure should be in there?

                      Sonic_Ver2: I will final take some out of the box.

                      Kel: Harder ones will come in hte future…

                                  Would’ve bought the shelf if it wasn’t for my cheapskate nature. Me? I’d go for them wooden three-storey rack with improvised “anti-dust” shielding.
