Collection has Hit a Brick Wall

[Commandoclone87]

My collection has gotten out of control and has reached a form of tipping point. With the recent bing and bulk purchases, I no longer have the space to display everything.

How do others cope with the eventual brickwall that is limited space?

What would be a priority when deciding which figures to display and which to send to the box?

Well big plastic tubs always work, but that only works for a few years. Ive go so many damn tubs Im selling off 75% of my collection at Tfcon.

How do you decide which ones to display?

Rotation. Keep the favorites out on display. Everything else have a shelf for rotation. It's actually kind of cool when you rotate stuff back in. It's almost like opening up new stuff.

with a larger collection (over 5000 pieces) I rotate leaving the fav's like Japanese G1 and lucky draws/botcon pieces always on display,.. when the new rooms built,.... it will house and disply the collection properly and I will no longer need strage boxes thank the matrix can't happen soon enough

Don't know how you do it, I've only got 100 figures and I can't really decide (except Voyager Payload, he can go into a box or face an army of Legion/Legends

Can't say the same, but a new apartment is due in the fall and more space as a result. (Currently crammed into a space the size of a dorm room)

Box it all, or sell it to me, the only 2 options =P

Boxes.... Rubbermaid boxes. I only ever have about 10 figures on display. Rotation means there is always something new being rediscovered.
