Storage - What do you do?

[Omega Supreme]

Do what I did, choose what lines of figures you really like, sell the rest to the nice people on here, use that money to invest in every figure you have always wanted plus a shelving unit big enough to put them on. Then sit back and Marvel at the greatness

I'm fust running out of display room in my small room. Looking at trying to get a glass display case, but they don't seem to be easy to get in my part of the world. It would also help with my dust issues.

As for the bulk of my collection, I had to hire a storage shed.

Well here is what it looks like when you start to sort through 1600+ figures so you can store them in a fashion that allows you to actually find specific toys :






Right now I'm sorting them into different sized crates (from 50L to 140L) under the following catagories:

*Optimus Prime/Orion Paxes
*Megatron/Galvatrons
*Bumblebee/Goldbugfires
*Starscream and all Seeker variants
*Soundwave and Minions
*Ultra Magnus/Jetfire/HotRodimus/Prowl/Jazz's
*G1, G2 & BW Autobots
*G1, G2 & BW/BM Decepticons
*RID/Unicron Wars/Animated/Aligned Autobots
*RID/Unicron Wars/Animated/Aligned Decepticons
*Crossovers
*Decepticon Combiner Groups
*CHUG/Alternity/Alternators/Masterpiece Autobots
*CHUG/Alternators Decepticons
*Kreons
*Kre-O Sets
*Huge Buggers (Metro, Trypt etc)
*MISC


And I ever get that done I'll make a start on all the other TF merchandise I have

Remind me to get a garage when I eventually buy a house.

I just have a couple of big plastic tubs in the wardrobe.

In plastice storage boxes and space bags

I have 2 display cabinets but I'm thinning the herd and the figures that I keep are going into under bed storage containers that I can stack and see what I've got at a glance!

50L boxes. Mainly because they're only for storing my collection that's out of their boxes - and when they're piled on top of another it gets pretty heavy. They're bubble wrapped or glad-bagged, without Leige's lasagne-layering homemade recipe, and I haven't opened 3/5 tubs since they've gone in there. Accessories are mostly stored in a separate tupperware box. Dreading an eventual stocktake that may uncover a broken wing or snapped nosecones.
