Brave is in in my room, but that is where he has lived.
Fort & Grand are already in the garage

I feel we're only scratching the surface of Big Phil's collection.
Incidentally, Metroplex can't be evicted to the garage - it's a city(ng) tenant.

I'll get a picture of the cupboard in my room. 8 ish Trays of Titans Returns and Earthrise
Titans you've seen, the 3 BW Boxes, 1 RiD and 3 AEC on shelves at back of the garage. You can see my boxed reissues there too
There's also a CHUG one (maybe 2?), POTP, RiD2015, Siege, Kingdom, SS 86 and WFC/Legacy era repaints (Diaclone, Gobots etc)

How well would these shelves work down the length of the middle of the garage? I've managed to get one of the black shelving units in between the Ivars holding Epic and the one holding Trades. That should take ten plastic crates when full height. I've had more fished out the loft tonight so when I'm able I'll get that one to full height and add an identical unit the other side of the room. On the right a mixture of other books. This definitely isn't it's final configuration and I've had ideas since I've been home Bar one shelf, the left hand half is now full of Cricket books. It's not finished yet. 6 plastic crates in tomorrow's ASDA order to make a start on emptying the wardrobe There was a look in the loft tonight while the black shelves were coming out. It was scary. |

Black shelves have gone out the door but no storage boxes on today's asda order which has stalled things slightly

Reading back through the last few pages is a wild ride. That is an impressive garage. I do think the white breeze blocks and door on the front are crying out for mural.

Stacking is excellent. I speak from experience of living in a flat with very little in the way of storage volume... Karl |

Both black units fully in. One is fully loaded (10 crates) with Transformer toys. The other has temporarily taken some boxes off the floor. With them gone the stuff against the window wall has been moved to the other side of the room freeing up the window wall.
I would like to be able to show you all this but Jonathan forgot to take the photos.
ALL my CHUG is now in the garage bar the latest Legacy and my Combiner Wars
Also in the garage are two book shelves that I'm looking after for Liz and the CD towers that formerly stood on the landing here.
I'm thinking a crate for my loose early G1 stuff in the cupboard. Crate for Special Teams. Crate for Micromasters. Crate for the late G1/Euro/G2

Liz needed some food on the way back from church and brought two more crates into the house
Turns out Micromasters needed a crate and a half. I was surprised. The remaining half went to my dual Targetmasters, Triggerbots/cons, Sparkabots/Cons and Pretenders (Skullgrin, Longtooth's shell and Roadblock)
They've gone to the garage. Most of the Euro G1 is now in front of me, just need Skyquake, Stalker, Clench and Rotorstorm from their points in my room.
It's getting scary.....

I would like to be able to show you all this but Jonathan forgot to take the photos. He did today. Here's the rear shelving unit, 1.5 shelves away from being all cricket books. We have that number of Wisdens to come from here  Here's the black shelving unite on the window wall backing onto the buttress:  That one is being some temporary storage. Eventually it will look like it's twin on the opposite wall:  TEN crates of Transformers !!!!!!! You should be able to identify what most of them are :-) |

Last 3 G1 boxes done.
There's some retro strike planes that need to go back in their individual boxes and Metroplex will need to stand on a shelf but I think we're done for loose G1
Packing that Euro/G2 box was VERY scary. Nearly everything felt like it would break!
Five slots left for those plastic tub boxes, a good portion of which will go on the remaining Legacy. Looking round the room I have small cardboard boxes of pre Cybertronian toys, Star Raiders, Mayhems, Unicron Trilogy remakes & Infernac/Junkion. There's small shelves of SS86 Dinobots, Legacy G2 Autobots, Legacy Cybertron and Legacy G2 Decepticons/Gobots. Those are probably all going in boxes along with the 20 or so toys on my desk
Wondering about reboxing my Zoids and Action Force in similar boxes

Here's the black shelving unite on the window wall backing onto the buttress: That one is being some temporary storage. Eventually it will look like it's twin on the opposite wall To the right of this, between the black shelve and the window, is a first wooden shelving unit, which, despite my doubts, we managed to get in the van. A second unit will go in to the right of the window shortly and shelves laid between them. |

Wooden shelving units now in round the window. Bit short of shelves to go in them at the moment though
Black Unit II has TF plastic boxes on it :-)

Mother in Law is safely in sheltered with Phone, TV & Broadband transferred. BIG TICK!
Liz is in the bungalow this morning stripping wall paper and painting. Builder due to fit patio doors this week.
Shelving unit at end of library nearly half empty, I'm at the state now where I can extract some shelves. Just big heavy books down the bottom and out of reach towards the top to go. I have a tall teenager for those.
What's left in the loft has been on my mind. I'm thinking I might want to put all the Zoids, currently in cardboard boxes in the loft, round shelf edges in the garage. The AF/GI Joe, when depackaged in the case of the 25th Joe Vehicles, can go on wooden shelf unit nearer the door. Got a nice tall plastic tub in mind for the Joe vehicles.
Getting there.

Saturday we have some of the homegroup coming over to help move some wardrobes/cupboards.
Since two of them have to come out of my room I've had to clear the floor. That's been tidying away several of the small boxes of Transformers that have been sitting there. SIX of them went into a large plastic crate this morning. They probably should go to the garage but .....

The last shelving unit in the library is empty. It's contents have been loaded into boxes, taken to the garage and put onto the shelving unit to the left of the window. This wiped me out.
Unfortunately I think I made a mistake when setting the shelves and could do with a little more space under the bottom one, so everything is going to need to move up on shelf notch <screams>
Fortunately chums are coming to visit and one of them has a book related speciality.....
Took a peak in the bungalow today. French windows are in our new living room.
