It's been a hard days night and I've been working like a dog. So, I am taking a moment to be one with the force and take a break. I have been trying to get The Batcave Toy Room in shape for a quite a while now and just have not been happy about it. I attempted to fit the majority of my toy collection into one room and it always ends up looking like a cluttered mess. So, I've decided to follow the lead of toy collectors like Ron R. and Brian Adams and rotate displaying my toys and collectibles.
Another reason I am trying to get things in tip top shape is because I received a call from couple of awesome television producers to appear in an episode of a new series involving toys. I'll let you guess which one for now. However, it shouldn't be too hard to guess. Especially, if you follow Cool and Collected and read the comments.
I'll let you know how it progresses as time goes on. Wish me luck, I am pretty excited about this.

I like the idea of a rotating collection. Like you I have only a couple of rooms to display all my stuff.
ReplyDeleteIt's starting to work out well for me. Your rooms are awesome. I actually thought you had more room than just two rooms.
DeleteSweet congrats and am looking forward to seeing you on the show John.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jboy. We're still working it out, but they are planning to come by sometime in the next three weeks. I'll keep you posted.
DeleteThat is great!
ReplyDeleteIt is. I am really excited.
DeleteYou have an impressive shelf of Megos behind you, now I want to see the whole room! ;)
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the show!
Thanks Brian. Well, one way or another you'll get to see the room. Either here or on the show, hopefully.
DeleteI got tipped to this podcast with one of the guys that appeared on the show. He gave all kinds of interesting tidbits: http://thegeeksavants.podbean.com/2012/06/18/v2e65-the-great-purge/
DeleteSome truly insider info.
Thanks for the heads up Brian. I did catch that on your site earlier and listened to the podcast. I'll talk about it too once the show airs.
DeleteI am still on Comics and some Magazines.... I haven't even gotten to posting about My Toys.... I have to start digging out my "clutter and Hope to eventually Display my Large Collection...( so far only poster on 1/6th scale figures... My "pride") I collect Villains and some Monsters....
ReplyDeleteThat's cool Dr. Theda. Can't wait to see the rest of your collection. It's time consuming isn't it.
DeleteYes it is 'overwhelming"...Quite a "task" before me....
DeleteSweet! I'm for the first time ever building my Geek-Cave, and loving it. What's really weird is my wife brought home a shelving unit EXACTLY like the one you're posing next to that someone had put out for free. I feel like you and I are brothers in shelving now.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you on the tube!
Wish I was that lucky. That sucker goes for $50 bucks. Not only brothers in shelving, but in toys my friend. Thank you sir. I'll talk about it once it airs.
DeleteAlright! You would be perfect for a TV show about toy collecting!
ReplyDeleteThanks Colin! I know a certain Boy Wonder that would be just as perfect. ;-)
