Thanks! The unlit one actually has a Pandora's box in it but it's on the fritz at the moment. And yea, I really want a Turtles can and the sit-down Outrun cab. If they ever release a gun cab other than Buck Hunter I'll probably snatch that up too Edited August 22, 2021 by Nic8612 ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been thinking of making some wooden/birch plywood storage solutions but I'm a bit afraid of any outgassing of glues or the wood itself. Have you noticed any issues?

I haven't noticed any issues and I've had them for close to 10 years now. I made them out of oak with cedar bottoms. No glue was used. All my books are bagged and boarded anyway so there shouldn't be any issues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post MultiSig Mike Posted August 23, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 23, 2021 (edited) Posted my old room in here over 5 years ago (re-adding photos here). The new/future room is only like 10' x 11' One wall has the door and a closet, the other wall has 2 windows, so that leaves 2 full walls and some other random space. Couple questions: How do you prioritize your collection when it includes: slabbed comics, 12"-18" statues, 6" action figures (sealed), raw books, and framed artwork? If you hang the artwork then that leaves little to no wall space for bookshelves. If the figures and statues go on a bookshelf, then you're now losing that wall space for artwork. FYI, I never added the bookcase referenced below. I'm wondering if there is an interior decorator for comic book nerds, lol, or if someone can share (or message me) a link to their room that includes all of the above items in a smaller room, but doesn't appear to be too cluttered.

Wasn't sure which one you're asking about, so here's both of my Star Trek books The original series book has Shatner, Koenig, and Takei. The Next Gen has Lavar Burton, Armin Shimerman, and Will Wheaton (it's also a double cover!)
