I got these fun & colorful plastic storage drawers on clearance at Big Lots & Wal-Wart within the last couple weeks- today I finally threw a bunch of old junk that had accumulated in my closet out, and moved these babies in place...
Cleared out the shelves above as well, that now provide storage for some of the boxes that my more deluxe
I configured some old wine crates my roomo found into a temporary shelving unit to hold comics and a bunch of unopened DCUCs a couple weeks ago. In the other corner of my room the computer is situated, creating the perfect headquarters for the Super-DuperToyBox...
A closer peek into the glass display case...
As I said, the glass toycase is full of
OH YEAH... almost forget to mention- I got a small parcel of comic books today, just in time as I had read all I had...
Robin: Year One, #1-4 (DC Comics, 2000) This looked like a lot of fun, and purchasing the four separate books used, as opposed to the compiled graphic novel, was cheaper as it turns out...
As with a lot of comic sellers on E-Bay, there was only one flat shipping rate of $3.95 for as much as you want to order, so I picked up The Spectre, Annual #1 (DC Comics, 1988)... it's a team-up with Deadman!
*New Readers...Start Here blog! Very interesting to me as I had been away from comics all my adult life until recently and have missed a lot.
*A great post, "Should I Open The Toy", at OpenTheToy blog- I really liked this!
*My fellow blogger BubbaShelby's interview on Random Acts of Geekery! I told Bubba it's good that we aren't neighbors, as we'd never get anything done! His Toyriffic blog is a regular stop for me, and Bubba was one of the first to step up and make friends when I got started here. A swell pal, for sure! I had been watching his blog for some time before I decided to start Super-DuperToyBox.
*Hilarious video blog featuring odd Darth Vader swag by Reis O'Brien on Hey, Look At My Toys! I look forward to watching these every week, and get a kick out of Reis' masked, off-the-cuff delivery. Watching him get cracked up at the absurdity of some of the toys makes me laugh :D
*And last, but not least, I submitted Super-DuperToyBox to Blogged.Com and was accepted with a rating of 6.0/"Good". I have been working on this blog for three months and my traffic has increased a lot lately, getting anywhere from 60 to 100 hits a day. I'm unsure if being accepted on Blogged.Com is a real accomplishment, but I figure the extra exposure can't hurt- I'm always looking to make new friends with similar interests. All in all, things are moving right along I'd say.
am right with you on this - storage IS a problem! i collect loose vintage figures OUT of the box, so that helps...i also have a passion for smaller 3 3/4 inch figures too, but nevertheless, it's frightening how fast one storage box becomes five boxes! i even wrote a squidoo lens about the storage and display of vintage action figures
ReplyDeleteGREAT organizational skills :) it's always nice to know that there's room for MORE haha
ReplyDeleteLove your toy collection and set up and maybe my collection will be as great as yours someday Super D. : )
ReplyDeleteAhhh, nice link Debs! Thanx!
ReplyDeleteRoom for more, Alex, yeah- :D
Thanks for the shout-out man!
ReplyDeleteas for Robin Year One - that is a great read! One of my faves. Batgirl: Year One is better though - read it too!
Very nice organizational skills! If I had a bigger place, those drawers would be ideal. I don't have much room as it is, so can't get that organized just yet. I also liked how we were able to see some of your setup as well as some display pics.
ReplyDeleteGreat job! I am doing the same thing right now. My problem is I want to display everything I have, but there just isn't room for it all. Very cool to be able to see how you have your items displayed.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great looking display. Puts the Cave of Cool's set up to shame. I have to repost those pictures I have once I get a new cord for my digital camera this week.
