    Almost got it to the end, everything was looking great until the constructicons tumbled over, they were seperate at the time (still are), Devy parts went EVERYWHERE, since I keep them at the back of the shelf. Soundwave missiles, cassette chrome bits, the whole bunch just went flying. Took me a solid half an hour to find them all. Most of the Lego ended up unscathed, but the minifigures all got knocked down from their delicate positions.

    Glad to say everything looks WAY better now IMO (pics to come in update), but I have realised that I REALLY need glass shelves. The black shelves obstruct the things on the lower shelves from my view, which kinda sucks. Thanks for reading my pointless, small vent.
    i don't know how many times i've done that. just to save a few minutes but end up taking hours when you gotta find all the parts.

    Hence the phrase "more haste, less speed".

    @bidoofdude glass is nice for seeing stuff lower down, unless you have too much stuff on the shelf above. If you have figures with loose hips it's a little harder to get them to stand up. But, it does let in more light making it easier to see everything on the shelf. It's also thinner so if you have some very tall figures, you might be able to just squeeze them in where you previously couldn't.

    Thieves stole the Big Mango in Queensland. It weighs up to 10 tonnes!!!! The funny part is that security is now posted at the Big Banana ....... Just in case the thieves had the idea of making fruit salad.
