One great way would be to have a cabinet with one shelf dedicated to each release, the problem with this is some of the shelves will be packed full and some of them will be pretty bare /empty
Another idea is to have things the same size on each shelf
So unboxing the CE's and having all the figures on one shelf
All the art books on another

Or
If space isn't an issue
One shelf per CE with it in an unboxed state the box as the centre piece, the figure in front of it and all the other items for that release/box dotted around it

Or one continuous long shelf along one wall with all the boxes sat on it
But certainly arranging your room so that no direct sunlight hits you CEs is important unless you want to add some IV protective film to your windows. Which will help but best not to rely on it

the cabinets you see for the normal DVD/BluRay cases are from Target (I forget the model, but I don't think they sell them anymore) but everything else is from Ikea.
... the really big shelf I think was called LACK but I don't believe they carry that anymore either.

Impressive.

For me it is hard to collect for games i do not already play and love though (or at least know for almost certain I will love).


I do really need and want to find a nice big glass door cabinet.

So I will maybe get about a half of on room in basement but I'm afraid of flood. We are about 70 meters next to the biggest river here. I will take some pics how it looks now and if I will get it and "remake" it I will get pics how it will looks after.
