Thanks for all the nice comments. All those figures probably seem overwhelming, but believe me, on some of the action figure collecting boards I would not even rate in the top 10 compared to some of those collectors who REALLY have huge collections (I mean life-sized figures and whole armies of the same figure, etc.) Whenever I feel like I have gone over the top, I can always look at those collections and not feel too crazy, heh.

thanks to everyone who responded about the billy bookcases!

IMO, Ikea's BONDE series (if you have the room) is a little better quality...

I just dont understand why you would go to such unbelievable lengths to do this? I can understand collecting things, i like to collect stuff too. But why do some of these guys have like 300 of the same figure !??? If you collect dvds do you have 300 copies of scarface ? No you have one if your a normal person. Or 2 (the plain version and nice version) if your avid.

collection if that's what you're into. A dvd is an entirely different type of collectable. |

It's not my thing, I just knew what it was called. If there's a film/show that revolves around 500 copies of rye than I guess it's similar :) If you mean it's overdoing it, then ya, I'd agree. |

I hope I'm not getting too off topic here, but my response to this would be that to many people buying two copies of a DVD would be as absurd as buying multiple copies of a toy. I've double dipped in the past, but actually keeping two copies of the same movie doesn't make sense. Worrying about the case the DVD is in doesn't make sense. Not buying used DVDs because someone else touched them doesn't make sense. But I understand that these things are important to some people so more power to them. so many people treat there dvds like shit and wonder why they don't work properly. its like people think the things are indestructible or something. i have double dipped but i don't buy the same exact dvd 2 times, its a waste of money i think, but yea all power to them if they want to its there money. |

This thread has gone completely off the tracks. Someone please post pics of their set ups! |

Just sayin'. http://a74.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/...2ac8da30d1.jpg |

Once we start talking about action figures, we might be getting off topic a little. They have little to do with a DVD collection or Home Theater. |
