So I've hit a wall in my collecting.
I've realized that I love the idea behind the properties more then the physical property itself, but still love that, lol So going to be trimming my collection ALOT and making it smaller and more personal. Anything I keep/buy from now on will fall into 2 categories: 1- Select characters 2- Just Too Cool Majority of Joe stuff have won't fall into those. So alot of my collection will be up for grabs.

I hear you. I'm trying to trim off some fat as well. I just don't enjoy some of the older stuff that I used to, but I don't collect many vehicles, except for some really cool 1/18 stuff. So that keeps it scaled down.

I was at the point where I'd get new stuff, open the box, take a look at it, put back in the box, throw the box on top of the other boxes.
Yeah... time to make it smaller and more personal. I've been working up a list of "must have" characters across a couple of lines (Joe, MU, Star Wars, Transformers, Mattel, etc..) and the "cool" category will be restricted to Joes (guy's like Outback or Recondo, Lifeline, etc..).

Thankfully the only other line I collect is SW but only OTC stuff. I have a couple of MU figs, 5-6 MOTU items and only one TF (Starscream).

Yeah, I know what you guys mean. I've been collecting since the '80s or so, and I've just reached a point where A) I have no room, and B) I don't have interest in a lot of stuff. I just sold a huge box of Transformers to a comic shop today, and I'm looking at selling more stuff to them. I have a few TFs that I'll keep, like Jetfire. Some of my older Joes I may sell if I don't care for them, and of course some of my many SE figs.

I have a 12" x 18" x 6" tub(not accurate measurements, but off the top of my head) that I keep them in(and it's almost full) and I always forgot about certain figures I have.
I gotta start displaying mine... |

Thanks to those who posted their Cobra Command set up. It gave me some options to think about. Right now, I have Cobra Commander as the overall commander in chief of course and Tomax and Xamot commanding the Crimson Guard. Other than that, the rest of my named Cobras hold no official rank at all. They are all contract agents of Cobra. They would not be connected to any unit within Cobra. When CC needs someone to complete a mission, he'd pick one of his agents based on their skills and the mission requirements. He may send them alone, in teams, or even with a detachment of his troops depending upon what needs to be done. After the mission is over, the troops then go back to their normal duties, under their normal commanders and the agent moves on to his next assignment. The agent may have authority over the mission and would hand out orders, but if they met in the hallway in the Terror Drome, the agent wouldn't have any official authority to tell a Blue Shirt what to do. However, I think that they'd command alot of respect for different reasons. The rank and file of Cobra would respect agents like Zartan, Storm Shadow, and Firefly out of fear. They'd respect Major Bludd and Wild Weasle for their prior military service and observe their prior rank even if it is not official. They'd respect Destro and The Baroness as potential employers.
As for any hierarchy amoung the agents, I think CC would keep his body guard Storm Shadow close for protection and The Baroness as well to control his main rival, Destro. The rest of the agents rise and fall with every victory and failure. He would need scapegoats from time to time to keep his followers loyal. I admit, this is pretty much the cartoon version of Cobra, with a few slices from the Comic, so it isn't exactly original, but it's what I have been using. |

To go back a bit. I wanted to get your opinions on my EOD Team set-up.
I'm not sure if you could count the Quickfire as a Artillery piece. But I own two & wanted to use them somewhere. Tunnel Rat is the Resolute version. Just haven't thought of a new name yet. Last edited by Darkhawk75; 05-22-2014 at 04:39 AM.. |
