nocutename Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 TMNT TERMINATOR...Please tell me where you got that comic rack!! Nice organization for your CGC's!!! I know, isn't it awesome? I had been searching high and low and was convinced there was no such thing. Then I chanced upon this thing of beauty...at Circuit City's closeout sale. They were selling fixtures galore and it was actually my wife who spotted it. I bought it, brought it home, and it fit perfectally in the closet. Best part, I can put my raws on it as well. It has wheels and easily rolls out. I love it. I love your shrine to the turtles. That comic rack is incredible! Yes, CC was selling off fixtures in my area too. I wish I would have looked. Great room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great room. I REALLY lucked out with the rack IMO. It fits the books so nicely and its really versatille. I like being able to put up about 400 raw books on the back, and CGCs on the front. With the wheels on the bottom, its easy to get to whatever I like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Daddy Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 I took one of those racks to the check out to purchase and the clown behind the register said I would have to put my name on the list and they would call me. Guess who never called. Nice display of turtle stuff. (thumbs u Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BaltimoreLauren Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Over the summer I'll be moving all of my comic boxes into my bedroom (I'm getting rid of my bed since I've been sleeping on a sofa in my den all my life...), but for now I've moved all of my toys into there: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raphael Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Welcome to my Turtle Room! I dont have everything on display, just dont have the room. That said, I do have a fair amount of interesting stuff out for viewing. Ive essentially converted a small spare bedroom, but even though its a whole room, its still way too small to put everything out in. Anyways, thanks for checking it out! First up, I cant show you my room without showing whats been hanging outside of my room ever since 89. This hanger has been on my doors everywhere Ive lived, from Oklahoma to Miami and even up to college. Its a bit tattered but still hangs (with a bit of help!) Walking into the room to the left you see this rather plain looking closet. Inside, however, houses my comic collection. Ok, theres a lot going on in here. On the left is my comic rack, which has my CGC collection in front. Almost all of my books are 9.8. (I had just bumped the rack before the photo and forgot to line everything up again so some books look a little skewed) 1-4, 1st prints and Raphael SS 5-22 Miscellaneious Behind the rack, I have most of my loose comic collection. There are about 400 books on there. To the right on the table, I have an assortment of Mirage related items and books. You can see the rare T-shirt from 86 along with 85 pin set. Theres the bronze version of the statue along with a few of my dark horse figures in package, including the first release version in stapled bag. And my Silver and White Turtlemanias. And jumping past a few loose books/mags, we can see my Challenges soft and ultra rare hard cover books Along the back wall, I have every one of the collected books/graphic novels that have ever been produced. Above them, I have the limited edition Mirage print You may have noticed, my wallpaper on the back. In keeping with being an original art nut, ALL of that is original artwork from Frank Fosco, artist from Image Comics who drew volume 3 of the comics from '96-'99. All of its the real deal, and they are roughs and sketches from various books in the series. Theres cover work, panels, everything. Some in pen, pencils, markers. I have so much of this awesome stuff I needed a neat way to show it off. I thought a collage of sorts would work and I think I accomplished what I was looking for (and no, thats not all of it!) Ok, I just brought up original art. Lets leave the closet and see what else is going on. On the wall opposite the closet, I have framed my 8 page story from 86s Mudens Bar. An incredible collection of early pages, so I HAD to frame them together. (to see each page closer up, check my CAF) Next to the closet, I have my Peter Laird 84 donatello sketch (my earliest TMNT artwork) and my Gobbledygook #2 page (my earlist page period). To see these closer up check my CAF below. Next to those, I have my pages from issues 1985s 3, 4, and 5 (framed with the First publishing colored page by Steve Lavigne). These pages are classic Eastman & Laird, and feature all of their pencils/inks. And I think Ill stop here as most of the room is made up of toys and I don't think theres much interest for that here. As a sneak peek though, Ill show you The Wall, which is my solution to having too many vehicles in boxes to store. Also, proved to be an innovative way to separate the spaces. (and No, the windows are not ususally open; only when I'm in there. astounding!! i just had to travel back until i found all these pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
