One day I was painting the wall where I had patched an old hole where the surround sound wires were in my upstairs bonus room, which by the way is my man cave, and I leaned on the shelf and it with the paint and figures came tumbling down. So I put the shelf back up.
About 3 months later that same shelf that sits on 3 supports fell again and this time there was no paint to ruin the carpet but it did kill my 22" monitor and broke my keyboard. How it fell is a mystery. 3 supports??? The 2 monitors you see are 20" from my other computer.
This time I went out and got the supports that I can use self tapping drywall anchors and not the hang on a screw type. Plus these supports are fancy like the ones above my TV.
So I started redoing my room but I wanted to sort of document the journey.
I will be using LED strips behind the stuff in most places and trying to mix in my Halo 4 stuff. You can see the LED behind the Mongooses. I am looking to get colored ones but the house is darkish brown so I was thinking white only. Not sure though. Would be nice to have large cutouts made but I have to try to keep it semi-grown up. I do have Starwars stuff but it is only a small amount.
Here are some pix of what will be going up and some of what is already up. I have easily 150 boxes of unopened stuff but it is all doubles and a lot of it is old figures I will never open anyway. I am missing some of the higher end statues because I wasn't too much into it before Hal 3 came out. I was going to buy the Weta Master Chief and Arbiter but didn't and now it is way over priced in my opinion if you can even find one. I have seen people who do not even collect them trying to get $500.
I am hoping to snag more Square Enix(2 in front of the TV are Master Chief and the Black Spartan) stuff to go on the black shelving you see the Brutes and Elites piled on temporarily(it is a tiered shelf system but you only see the top. Nothing is in place and I have a lot of work to do, trust me. I want it ready before Halo4 comes out anyway. need my good vibe room ready for gameplay.
The Noble Team you see I will be making some sort of display so they can stay in a similar pose. Like my own little statue. I may do this with others as well but non-main characters seem silly to do this with.
