Where do you put Fort Max/Metroplex/Devastator?

[Ralph Wiggum]

Yeah, space is the sole reason I've cut back my collecting of anything down to one thing: Masterpieces. My girlfriend moving last year caused me to take stock of my lifetime of collecting Star Wars, Transformers and other pop culture stuff. It's been fun, but I don't have the space to store everything with boxes and well...dust.

I'm actually thinking about putting away or maybe selling my Encore Fort Max when the Titan Fort Max comes out. While I think he's a cool G1 toy, space is an issue for most of us. I've taken some advice from this thread and put Fort Max, Metroplex and Devastator on the top shelf. I'm actually going to buy more of my shelves next week, one Titan per shelf, for now.

Yeah, but 2 years ago I made a decision to give away most of my non-TF toy collections because I hadn't played with those toys in years. Now I primarily focus just on collecting and keeping toys that I still play with, so it's Transformers and a small handful of other toys.

I did a similar thing, however, I then got into customising and started picking up extra figures (because you get ideas) so now I'm trying to not buy many TFs and just grind through the customs I want to make.

As I only collect G1 so far I have much less of a size challenge. My Devastator will just fit into my dining room bookcase but since he is my favourite he will stay on my computer desk top shelf and leave more space in the case for others. I do have other glass display cabinets but one is filled with a Mineral collection and the other with over 200 x 3 3/4 inch Star Wars figures + SW ships. As for my front room its bookcases are filled with paperbacks and Tamiya RC vehicles. I will be moving to a larger house in a few years so I'll have more room to play with then

To be honest, it's precisely this factor that stopped me from picking up either of them. Well, that and Metroplex's alt-modes not really doing it for me.
I appreciate the idea behind them, but I just don't have the space to display and/or store toys that big. About the largest I can manage is something around the size of MP Star Saber or a Combiner Wars gestalt (or MMCs Feral Rex).

That said, I'd make an exception for a Titan-class-sized Unicron, and probably a Primus too.

Great, you just made me want a Titan class Unicron for the 30th anniversary of the movie.

[GoktimusPrime]

I thought you had everything in triplicate.

I'm happy with my Armada Unicron. There have been improved redecos since, but the Armada one suits me fine. I'm not sure if I'd want a Titan Class Unicron because let's face it, a Unicron toy would have to be at least as tall as a two storey house to approach being in approximate scale with other Transformer toys.

...having said that, I could display the Titan in robot mode and Armada Unicron in planetoid mode...
