Ironwarrior, I like those models, is that a Kyon (clannad) in the middle at the front?
I've mainly got models that came free with DVD's.apart from an Eclair and Lumier, a couple of Motoko's from Man Machine, and a Tetsuo :)


I've just finished Claymore which was good, although they finished it about half way through the Manga from what I can make out.
I think I'm going to make a start on Haruhi S2 next, leaving Soul Eater for a few days :)


MymyselfandI - if I were to ever win the Lottery I'd have a room dedicated to anime/films, big screen, 7.1 surround system, Library/archive style rolling shelving, display cases and a door guarded by a full size replica Robbie* (Fobidden Planet) on one side, and probably a Priss (BGC) or similar on the other....Yes, I am a geek:p
As it is, I'm thinking it's time to dispose of duplicated disks, and look into triple/quad packing discs as I can get M-lock quad cases that are only 14mm thick, and 6 ways
that are 26mm, but I need to check how much space that would clear up as I've already double packed most single discs.
I suppose I could also dispose of some of the anime that I've not watched in years.


*There is a company in the states which has the official licence to make them, and uses the original mouldings and plans.

Any of you on myfigurecollection.net?

Nope, should do really as I haven't got the space to put everything out so tend to forget what I do have :( ... there are a large number of figures I would like as well but can't justify the cost, or space, to put them.

I assume you mean Kyou, (as Kyon is the male lead in Haruhi :)), ... doesn't look like it to me as the hair style and uniform are wrong.

I'd probably just have a couple of library rooms with lots of shelves for stuff ... the home cinema would be elsewhere :). What I would really like would be some glass display cases for figures but I just don't have the space now.

Personally I haven't re-packaged anything, space hasn't got that critical, and have only got rid of things that I really don't like or have duplicates of (and these for the most part have gone to my Dad as he likes the odd bit of anime, although our tastes differ).
 
Should use Rock Paper Scissors tbh, just for fun :p

Ah a nice dedicated office/home cinema room would be nice, decorated appropriately. Some of the rooms on danny choo's site are pretty nifty. I quite like his office, very tempted to order the wall scroll for Mirai in that exo suit/mech. It does look snazzy.
 
Millennium Mirai ? :)

Run out of wall space at the moment (let alone shelf space) so wall scrolls are an issue too at the moment ... I still have the Summer Wars and TGWLTT posters which came with the SFX anime edition, in clip frames, to find somewhere to put up :(

Need a bigger house :(
 
If it's the one I think (can't view your link at work) then I suspect you'd need to import it .... i did see somewhere which had them the other week but for the life of me I can't remember where ...

I'd heartily second Black Lagoon as a fun series and a good action one:)
It's also fairly recent so the animation is good, and I think the complete set of the first 2 seasons is fairly cheap (I'm going to have to watch it again myself).

I really wish this was true, but the second season seems to be out of print. End result prices have rocketed. The only place where i have seen the second barrage in stock is on the Madman store. £40 before shipping and probably customs charges :(

And on a completely different note, it looks like I'm going to have to sort out my anime a bit, I've got DVD's all over the place and I need to sort them into some sort of order again...

Going back a couple of years, i thought you was looking at some (self built) custom storage. Did it happen or is it only now becoming an issue?

And i love the idea of Priss being a guard :)

I could have sworn the second season of BL was still available.

I did indeed make a trio of custom drawer units, one was a double width unit with normal drawer runners, and 2 single width ones which had full extension runners (tip if you ever think about something similar, use full extension runners*).
Between them they hold about 700 odd discs, the problem is I'm now at about 1200 discs for animé alone, add on live action, games and CD's and I really need to make a couple more units but don't have the floor space (maybe a single tall unit with 6 drawers and a display top...).



*They cost a lot more, but you have zero hard to access space as you can pull the drawer pretty much out.

Yeah, it's handy for keeping track, of pre-orders too so you don't forget what's coming :p

Re my drawers, a couple of shots of one of them :p
drawers1_010811.jpg

drawers1a_010811.jpg


The top two drawers hold ~70 discs each (in standard 14mm packaging), but I allowed enough room for odd size boxes, and tins as well (there is about 30 extra width and heigh clearance), as that was the mistake I made on my original unit.
The bottom only has room for about 50 discs as I had to allow room to run cables etc behind it.

I've actually still got the templates in the garage, so in theory it's a couple of afternoons work for me to make another unit with the router when i'm fit enough to do it :) (I deliberately made the choice to create templates as it means I can run off identical units without meaning up every time).

I've still got enough of the hardware (apart from the wheels), to make another 4-5 units, as I bought 20 sets of the long runners, and 4 or 5 sets of the short ones.
 
Rip em all to HDD?
It`s What I do.Although i have no where near the amount you guys have on dvd ,last count I was up to 14 TB of dvd rips and samples ;)
Gonna need a bigger htpc case or something like an extra server before long
 
Yowch, that's....errrr...quite a bit; are those raw rips or reencoded? (DVD MPEG2 to H264 can make a big difference).
Have to admit I'm considering buying another 2TB drive though, as my drive is beginning to run out of space and having to delete things. Move the drive I've already got to internal and put a new one in the external chassis (easier to move stuff around that way as I dont have GB ethernet all round right now) and job done.

Eventual plan is to link everything together via GbE though so I can do a lot of stuff remotely via one PC and remote desktop etc :)

Good, it's a fun series, and I think the best english dub I've ever seen. Everyone feels about spot on out of the main cast.
