How much of your collection is on display?

[Sky Shadow]

Why such a small amount SS? Renovating? Moving houses?

A combination of factors, VP - our housing situation has been in flux this year so we've moved from place to place half a dozen times. We're currently in a studio, so (despite the fact that Mrs Shadow seems to 'display' her clothes and costumes all over the room) there's not much space or call for a Transformer display. Still, even when I do have my own space (like my previous study) I've never kept more than a small fraction of Transformers out - mostly it's just the ones I've been fiddling with and haven't bothered to put away yet. The highest percentage I've ever had on display since 1985 would have been around 1999 when I had my own room in a share house at uni and all my Beast Wars toys out at once, but even then I had all my G1 toys stored away. I don't really 'get' displaying toys - I don't quite understand why people do it, particularly since it would mean that random visitors to the house might think I'm some sort of strange deviant or - possibly worse - have kids of their own and think it's all right to give them... say... e-Hobby Orion Pax to play with.

I'd say about 5-10%

I've got the Hard Hero Rhinox Statue, X-9 Ravage, Takara 10th Anniversary Beast Wars Show 'bots and Transmutate. Thats it.

I don't need to have all of them on display. Plus there is no point displaying sealed stuff.

A tangential question that I'm wondering about as a result of this thread: http://www.otca.com.au/boards/showthread.php?p=237344

I would say about 100% of toys which I consider to be part of my collection.

However if I count some of the spares, 'universally countable' junkers and others it would be more in the realm of 98-99.9%

i only have 1 toy on display currently, every thing else is in storage

Hasbro Masterpiece Starscream

i guess i also have my hard hero and diamond select statues in the cabinets, but then i never really consider them part of the over all transformers collection

in about 8 weeks however i will have my very own transformer display room and i hope to get them all out....eventually.

@SS - fair enough mate... thought that may have been the case.

At the moment? Probably about 50-60% of my collection. That number is dwindling the more I purchase though...

Bugger all. Even when I'm 'home' (such as it is) in Tassie I usually only have a few pieces out, with BW TM2 Megs as the only constant. The eventual plan is to get a dedicated display cabinet or two, but that's a long way off in terms of money and time.

I only have about a quarter of my collection out at the moment. Had to share the space available with others. I use to have them all on display though. Now it's just Animate (all), Classicsverse (all incl Rts,Generations, Classics, HFTD, Universe 2.0), The movie 2007/RotF (cast only) all Alternators and Masterpiece (Bar 1) and some of my favourite BW pieces.
When I get around to rearranging the spare room I'll get more out.

I'm in between homes and all I have on display is one Detolf's worth (thin, Ikea, glass cabinet). It's 8% of my collection.
