Default Golden Phoenix's Collection (VERY Picture Heavy)

Hey guys.

I have been meaning to do this for a very very long time, but my room has never been clean, tidy or organised enough to take photos.
Recently I got me another bookcase and was able to get a majority of my collection off it's previous perminant display place on the floor. Now it is more displayable.

So now I can take photos and show off like everyone else has :P

I keep pretty much 99% of my collection out and on display in my own bedroom. There is just shy of 450 Transformers, just shy of 400 individual Lego set, and then a whole bunch of random figures here and there.

So let's start in one corner and work our way around my room.

Full shot of the corner with the new Bookshelf


Top Shelf - Alternity, Specialy Editions, and od bits and pieces.
There is some Futurama, DBZ and Samurai Champoloo stuff that just doesn't really fit anywhere else.


2nd Shelf - Beast Wars, Binaltech/Alternator, War for Cybetron (Generations), Clone Wars Figures.
I just loved the Clone Wars style, grabbed them off another member here. Not much posability in them, but they hold a good pose.


3rd Shelf - Assorted Scouts and Mini-cons.
I have a soft spot of Mini-cons. Absolute pain to set up. They are like dominos.


4th Shelf - Movie stuff.
The shelf where they had been hit with the ugly stick. Not my favourite line, but it hase some gems.


Infront of it - Lego
These wouldn't fit on the shelves, so they went infront of them instead. Makes a nice city corner. So many vehicles that I just had to organise them infront of the buildings, looks sort of like rush hour gridlock.



Lego Collectable Minifigures - Complete series 1-4



Top of the smaller bookshelf.
More assorted stuff. Pokemon, Marvel, Star Wars, South Park, TMNT and more.
The Lego Mario is one of my own builds. Was planning to have Luigi on the other side, but I didn't have enough green


TV Shelf - More Lego!
Not much room in my room, so I use my TV as a shelf. Bit of Star Wars and Bionicle.
The Dropship is from that huge set and can pick up some of the Clone Wars Tanks.



Infront of the TV is some Movie Legends and some other random stuff.
The rose in the middle is another build of mine. Took build ideas and techniques from several other rose mocs. Built 2 and gave one to my misses. She was blown away.
Geek romance for the win!


Just a general shot of the main displays.
I started putting posters up in that corner, it has slowley grown since. The left wall is pretty much covered in stuff.
Pics of the shelves to the left are next.


Top Shelf 2 - Masterpieces, PCC, Titaniums, Revoltech, Robot Heroes, Armada Unicron, Cybertron Primus and a couple other bits and pieces.
G1 Prowl next to his updated form was just a centrepiece idea I had. Only G1 figure I have. Chose Prowl because he is well known but everywhere like Prime or Megatron.


Next Shelf down - Animated
Favourite series hands down. This shelf is packed and expected to expand when I get my hands on a Botcon 2011 set.


Autobot CHUGURs, FP and Robot Masters
My classics Autobots. Almost take up a whole shelf on their own, and I still haven't added Wreck Gar, Tracks and Jazz.


Decepticon CHUGURs, SWTF, and RiD
Even though the Decepticons are half repaints, they still only fill about 1/2-2/3 of a shelf.
Needs more Decepticons HasTak!


Centre Stand -
Used a Guitar Hero box to make more room for stuff and there is still stuff around the base of it.
Bionicle, Power Miners and the Toy Story Train


On top - More Bionicle, other Lego and 2 Force FX Lightsabers (Kenobi and Widu's)


Castle Town on the right.


Lightsabers make a good holder for some Starfighters


Using the Wiifit board to hold up some Lego SW Tanks.
The Walker can be picked up by that Dropship I have on my TV.


Space Police Staiton and a Lego SW Sepretist tank


Got this Megazord cheap. It was from one of the recent series (RPM)
All the zords were animal themed vehicles. Made for some interesting robots. This is a combined mode. You can actually take them apart and form 3 seperate robots. There is a forth that also combines with these 3, but I haven't seen it in Aus


I have a set of drawers that has more stuff on it. Some of my favorite Lego Series too: Dino Attack, Vikings and Mars Mission. Shame they were only short series.
Some Exo-Force and Indiana Jones stuff too.




This helicopter is my favourite Lego Set EVER. It is armed to the teeth. No other Lego set has come close to this bad boy.


Along one wall of my room are just wardrobes. Lots of shelves I have taken advantage of. Uptop are some boxes and Marvel TFs

To the left is my Unicron Trilogy stuff. I do have a soft spot for those 3 lines. Maybe because Armada Nemisis Prime got me back into Transformers and they gave us Mini-Cons



I have A LOT of Bionicle. They make up a good chunck of my Lego Collection.
Used them to build plenty of robots over the years.



More Lego system stuff. Pirates and creator here. Just don't have room for them elsewhere.
I also have the Imperial Flagship, but it is at my misses house. I just don't have room for it, anywhere.


Top left of the wardrobe shelves - Toy Story stuff. Love the little green soldiers and the claw game aliens.


Some Atlantis, more Indiana Jones and Space Police stuff.
Emerald Night train too. A very fun build.
I have some more Trains, but again, not enough room so they are at my girlfriend's place.



Rest of my Lego.
Above it are some Star Wars ships.


Some of the old sports series Lego did. Snowboarding half pipe, basket ball and the skate boarding set.
The basketballers have special arms and legs that let them hold the balls and when you pull them back they will spring back up and throw the ball. The snowboards also slide down too. There is a bit ramp for them to slide down into the half pipe. They work alright if you can get the ramp on the right angle.


But the ramp is currently hold 2 more starfighters so none of them can use it :P


Lots of Star Wars minifigures and sets. Clone Troopers, Droids, Rebels and Storm Toopers fight it out.


Some Jedi and Sith do too.


So that is pretty much everything.
Few bits and pieces I have missed, but I think almost 50 pictures is enough for one post....

Wow, about time!! Massive Lego collection there GP!!. shame Lego uses a lot of space, it would be awesome if you had enough space isnt it, in glass cases with downlights. Love minicons as well so I know what you mean with the domino effect hehehe. I keep mine tightly packed to avoid that but its a pain with 100+ minicons gotta catch em all!!

looks to me like you need a second bedroom, so you can sleep horizontally

fantastic collection, I've just glanced over it now but am definitely going to give it a proper look over when I get home tonight.

Holy Crap Golden Phoenix!
That is an awesome collection of not only TFs, but also Lego and the posters and such adorning the walls all aid in creating one hell of an interesting room indeed.

I 100% agree with you on Minicons being like Dominoes when one is trying to set them up for display, the amount of obscenities I've uttered when trying to display my own would fill quite a number of jars!
I especially like that Georgian/Victorian street scape you've got made of lego, I like that older era of architecture and those look especially cool.

...

Man... I could have a field day listing all the cool things in your collection that perk my interest, congratulations dude - Well done!

You're missing Lego Hockey!
The one's where you smack them on the head and they hit the puck.

Epic collection! Loved the snowboarders + basketballers.
Brings back the memories of the Lego I have under my bed

Awesome collection!!!! Love the Animated, so jealous of you getting the BotCon set. That would make my year.
Love the Bionicles; have a few myself but they are packed away at the moment.
My daughter would love all that lego, she's crazy about it. I actually got her that same lego Fire Station you have for her birthday.
Once again thats an Awesome collection!

I actually have just enough room for a double bed. It is my one rule. Have to have the bed clear.

I never got into the hockey. If they had done one with minifigures I would be so there.

I used to have the first soccer field set, but it got pulled apart for parts and neer put back together. It was a fun game to play.
