How much of your collection is on display?

[GoktimusPrime]

Sadly, not even 2%.

I just don't have the space unfortunately... my collection is mainly G1, and have a LOT of it. Most of the G1 figures, some MIB and MISB etc...

My G1* collection is 86% (379/440**) complete and I only have 1 (arguably 3***) figures in storage. Mind you, most of my G1s are loose (just the way I like it!).

But I have a huge amount of G1 stuff like place mats, plates, cups, Optimus Prime Cookie Jar, NES and C64 Video Games, books, comics (including #1 of both UK and USA issues), car race set, S.T.A.R.S set, Optimus Prime AM Radio, pencil cases, VHS tapes, bed sheet set, sleeping bag, posters (including a massive 1986 promo movie poster - I can't remember the dimensions but its huge), original Pepsi Prime, Fort Max box, board games, jigsaw puzzles, audio tapes, and who knows what else.

Comics, books, tapes etc. take up relatively much less space than toys and are easier to shelve. I place my comics in cardboard magazine holders then place the holders on shelves. Board games can take up some space after a while though... basically anything with boxes takes up space, so I try to keep as few boxes as possible (although with board games ya kinda hafta).

Most likely you'll need a whole room for it AJ.... and then some more , INvest on Glass cabinets they make an awesome collection look even more so than DIY ones, Sadly I didnt think of that vefore I went apeshit on buying shelvings when I got my place coz I was excited to finally fullfill my goal of finally haing a display/toy room.

For me, the thing I don't like about glass cabinets is that it makes it bit of a hassle when you want to randomly grab an assortment of figures out to play with then put them back.

I like how your collection room has nice wooden book cases and not those cheap and nasty metal tool shelves that I have. I'd like to replace them all with wooden book cases eventually... don't think I'd go glass go... I don't even like having my Megatrons in a glass display unit (I wouldn't do it if it weren't a legal requirement in NSW).
