    You folks that have lightened up on your figure purchases - do you still display the toys you do own, or have they gone into storage? My house still looks like a McF and Simpsons museum, but I haven't bought a figure since Corpse Bride series 1. I don't re-arrange them nearly as much as I used to, but I still enjoy all my toys.

    Cool

    Very few McF stuff is on display. It's all Star Wars with a few Movie Maniacs, EVAs, Hellboy and Star Trek.

    Most of my stuff is in boxes...

    Until I get some furnitures like IKEA, they will remain there. I only have out boxsets..

    I never was one to run right out and buy the newest releases, or even full sets everytime.

    So, having that said: I still buy about as often as always, but at this point I'm filling holes and making pretty good scores on stuff I coulda been paying twice retail for a year or MORE back.

    I suppose one of these days I'll have to post some pics of our Media room, just to give you an idea of what kind of ZOO of toys I have ON DISPLAY!

    I always have something on display. Mostly robots now. The only McToys out are music figs and some Terminator stuff. Metallica is currently on the stage and the Kiss Love Gun set replaced the last remnants of the Spawn figs on the "Spawn" shelf.


    Funny thing about the dragons though. I've been a dragon freak since I can remember but for some reason after the first series came out, I lost interest. I guess dragons and robots are at opposite ends of the spectrum and I can only be in one mode or the other. It seems the pendulum has been stuck on robots for sometime now.

    Dragons are for nerds. Robots are for geeks. That's the only real difference.

    The office I have at work now doesn't really lend itself to displaying anything, but I still have 30 or 40 in my family room and I'm working on redoing my toy room so I can still display 150 or 200 open figures.

    Beyond that... I had to make room for my guitars. [img]biggrin.gif[/img]
