Default Re: How do you keep your collectibles?

I am sad to say that I have next to no space to display my collection but I love it all the same...

I ope my collector editions as I like to see every part but part of me weeps as I break the seals!!! My family have always laughed at me at Christmas as I open my presents very carefully peeling the sellotape back slowly, take out the present and enjoy seeing what it is then carefully pack it back up again... I am like it with my collection

All my steelbooks are in plastic sleeves and boxed by type so I can enjoy them my collector editions are all stacked carfelly in the spare room and my figurines are on display all round the house

I do have - shock horror! - a crouching Altair sitting under the eaves on a ledge in my attic bedroom where I see him every morning and every night - colelctibles are there to enjoy

Hi guys,

I am glad I'm not the only one who has to look at every little detail of the packaging and contents!

vhal_x: Someone I know did a similar thing with stickers on the packaging - if it was a DVD or CD for example, they would peel the sticker from the film and stick it onto the inside of the case - somewhere where it wouldn't get damaged or damage the product.

Redmagster: Again, I've seen people do similar things - I knew someone who kept all the wrapping paper so it could be reused, so they carefull picked things open and laid the paper out flat!

I guess we all have our quirks!

Regards
TMM

That's exactly my method with the CE! haha I love looking and seeing everything inside but once I do, I pack it all away carefully then leave it on display never to be touched again xD

My ideal way of keeping them would be to display everything out of their boxes.

At the current place, I don't have the space to do that so mostly packed back onto their boxes once I open to see the stuff and take photos of them for my blog.

Just waiting for the day I move into my own place, sometime end of this yr hopefully where I'm gonna do up a transparent display to put them all up. Can't wait for that day man..
