I thought for a minute there that Karl was offering to make Shockprowl famous.
Inform the BBC. If we can get the next series of Ambulance filmed in the Ambulance Admiral's gaff we're in with a chance. Imagine Shockprowl being narrated by the Cakebastard!

There is a series called 'Ambulance'? Yes, the Michael Bay film of that name and its six upcoming sequels. Martin

Which originally starred Shia Labeouf, but they had to recast his character when it turned out he just couldn't do the siren noise properly.

Shia Lebeouf could play the residential home I crashed my ambulance into.

There is a series called 'Ambulance'? -Ralph Fly on the wall BBC doc series following ambulance crews on shift in big northern cities. Narrated by Eccleston. Back when Shockers was in the front line I hoped the series would visit his patch.

It was on tonight.
And isn't Shockprowl still on the front line now? Just from his Command Centre?? We're meant to be bigging him up!

Anyway..... CDs still in crates. Need to work up the enthusiasm to sort them. It doesn't help that the larger box, which needs the most work, is at the bottom of the pile Crates now sorted. CDs now in correct cases with cases reassembled, though I think some cases may need replacement. CDs in order by series and chronological order within.

Forgot to update, CDs safely back on shelf.
Today we had to lay a new power cable in Jonathan's study/my library which meant moving some items out the way to route the cable. Since they were items earmarked to move I thought best do that job while we're at it.
This is a choice my body now regrets. BIG TIME.
I need to some more book re-arranging but that may have to wait till I have some experienced help at hand. Fortunately I have a Librarian staying tomorrow!
September's events in the Ayres family, or rather wider family, may have triggered a much larger storage rearrangement down the line. More when it becomes more certain, but assistance from the Chums may well be required

Hi all. Just wondering if anyone has any advice on where to purchase some (preferably reasonably cheap) bookshelves or tall and sturdy shelving on which to display my collection of TF Figures. Currently, I have a very sturdy wooden bookcase, around 5ft high, 2ft wide and divided into 4 equally spaced shelves - each around 5 to 6 inches in depth - and am rapidly running out of space. It was bought for me several years ago, so I have no idea where it came from to be able to purchase another one. Just looking for ideas from everyone as to where and how they display/store their collections. I especially need pointers for UK-Based sellers if possible, as I can't afford to ship in from abroad. Thanks in advance guys

I find Really Useful Boxes good to put toys I don't have space for on shelves.
Most packaging goes straight to recycling: don't have the space for it. This also significantly reduces the dust build-up.
I have some Ikea units up and a couple of ye olde bookcases.

I'd recommend IKEA Billy bookcases.

Our car is filled with toys and boxes for the Fu. Nearly the entire wheelchair aisle is filled with CW & UW boxes which will hopefully put a few quid on Fu stock in years to come. Also in there are all the New Diaclone I bought and all the Magna Power Micromen, both for the Fu. I'd aimed to return more to it's original packaging than I did, apologies. About the only thing I managed was the Magna Power Combiner Robotman Endeavour. ALL the Diaclone boxes are there and a few other Microman. There's a Diaclone set guide at tmukhub.proboards.com/thread/8401/diaclone-reboot and www.micromanforever.com/MicroMillenium.htm has the Magne Power series top right. The Microstation is in a bag with it's ramps, car and controller plus a figure which you'll need to trigger the locks on the magnetic compartments. I suspect that at least will get played with before it leaves the Burns house. I feel VERY odd about the stuff going. But it needs to happen. Garage is done, bar paint. Mag boxes ready to move down there. I think the next step is to have a quite brutal purge of my modern TF packaging. I don't keep standard stuff anymore, bar the Titans boxes which all have things in but I think EVERYTHING post Unicron Trilogy needs to go (with the exception of the Throne and The Pit) So if there's any Generations/Legacy exclusive boxes anyone wants me to save, say now. (will prob keep Micromaster 10 pack too come to think of it cos it's rare as ****. And maybe Siege Skywarp, ditto) That will clear a lot more space up there and clarify what's left to happen. I caught sight of what was hidden in the corners of the loft yesterday and it was VERY scary....

Ah I see we all still have space issues. Managed to flatten all US boxes from the last 20 years during the last move except for "good" ones, so currently now have ~10 storage boxes full of cardboard that I am mentally prepared to chuck in the bin. Unfortunately my boxed G1 collection is now umm.. large... And I haven't yet ditched any MP / 3P boxes. I am going to have a purge of CHUG pre-WFC this year so that will see the henkei boxes also leave the nest.

Jonathan and I took advantage of Liz's absence in foreign climbs to attempt to purge the loft of empty Transformers packaging: Opps.

That's going in the cupboard above the stairs
If anyone spots a box they want, say!

Not a box, no, but I'll take any Takara Legends instructions/manga off your hands if you're moving them on.

They're all still upstairs in their boxes in Titan boxes
I'm not sure we found them all today...

Jonathan's done a really FAB job this week helping me by pulling all the empty boxes out the loft, well done son! As part of that he's done a Video Tour for the Loft Of Joy so I now know what's left youtu.be/zTamDsVS-Vw

We are probably going to have to get *VERY* Ruthless before we're done.
I've spotted a few more things that can go just watching the video so will get them bought down.
I'm also going to rationalise the shelving, get the remaining Titans boxes shelved and in the process check them. I'm pretty sure three have got Legends stuff in them, but what's in the other two or three I'm not sure.
