DLK is going to totally dig this thread. I'll make sure he sees it.

Did your collection appear in ANN's Shelf Life column at some point? Maybe its just a similar shelf, but your collection looks familiar.

Sadly no, my shelf wasn't in ANN's Shelf Life column. That would of been cool though. And yeah I've seen quiet a few people with the same exact shelf as me. It's only like 30 dollars at walmart. So that's probably why.

It's hard to take pictures of mine, since it's scattered (most in the closet and the rest in a DVD cabinet). However, with last week's shipment. I hit the 500th DVD mark.

Here is mine:

99% of my collection was bought at RightStuf

Very nice collection Sian, I really love your figures. But my favorite thing on your shelf has to be that Read or Die picture in the first pic. Where did you get that? Also that's even more awesome that most of your collection comes from rightstuf.

Thanks ! You also have a nice collection !! About the the ROD picture that you mention, it's one of those pencil board that came with each DVD. I really love that pencil board so i've put it in a photo frame. If i remember correctly it was the one that came with the DVD 1 + Box.

I'd love to contribute to this thread since the Dark Lord has supplied my shelves more than any other place. Unfortunately, my bedroom is a mess since I'm working on moving to my own place. Maybe I can just post some snippets tomorrow.

Unless you guys want to see stacks of Avon boxes.

Wow you're right, I totally forgot I had that pencil board. I'm so stealing your idea and I'm gonna frame once of my pencil boards too.

This is a neat idea for a thread. Perhaps I'll work up the nerve to post some shots of my collection in the future but it's not at its most photogenic right now. In the meantime, perhaps I can offer an image of a collection of a different sort:

Living Room Collection

In an attempt to quarantine my anime addiction to a single room in the house I engaged in a large-scale shelf building project in my den last June. The irony is as pictured and the dining room has remained the unofficial repository since. Oh well. What the heck do I need with a dining room anyway?

I buy those photo frame in Dollar stores like Dollar tree. The size is perfect for those pencil board and only it's only 1$

lol that's a lot of boxes Tsunami, some of those boxes are pretty big too. I love making huge orders, just to see how big of a box they send me.

And thanks sian, I'll probably stop by dollar tree soon.

I guess I'll share my collection, hope I post it correctly

lol Flatfour I just seen your collection at that other anime forum. Nice collection, and nice 30 pound weights

thanks its taken me 4 years to build it up, being in college sucks up way to much money.

HAHAHA!

You know what's sad is my stack of boxes is a bigger mess than that.

So have you sent your photos to Shelf Life yet flatfour?

nope i have no idea what shelf life is. i use flickr
edit: i figured out what you were talking about and submitted pics of my collection to them. I don't think its big enough to get published but by the end of summer it should be a whole lot bigger.

I'll try and post my collection pictures soon. I took a few years off anime (except for a few big big shows). I have no idea why I did, guess it was anime burnout and other things taken up my money and interests. I'm back with a vengeance now and going back and buying lots of shows I've missed and slowly building my collection again as well as rebuying some series that are re-released (IE: X Remix, Slayers, etc.).

My collection is nowhere near huge like lots of anime nuts are, but I think I have a good sized collection.

I guess i will join Gaming_Bum and flatfour and post my collection here too.

Nice, did you make those shelves yourself?

Yes I made them, I still need to stain, shalack and trim them out.

Very nice collection ! Great job with the shelves !

Great collection Harley. Excellent foresight with building in a little extra room for future growth. I'm afraid I've built myself into a bit of a corner with my premade shelves. You've a great setup so, if you think of it, please post new pics when you've got them stained and finished.

and lp_harley pulls into the lead largestvisible collection so far. nice collection by the way

I will take new pictures when thay are finished. I Just bought this house and had to get my dvds of the floor is why I did not finish them out from the start.

thanks flatfour

Wow harley, do you know how many dvds you have?

Here's my collection!


Big spinny thing
Tiny spinny thing The big spinny thing is partially cut off by my bed, but there are four sides total, and each side has seven shelves. It's completely full. The tiny spinny thing has 3 sides full, and one side completely empty. I use a lot of double-packing and thinpacking for those.

Bin next to my bed
Under the bed box
Li'l boxes under my dresser


Top shelf of closet
Top of bookshelf 1
Top of bookshelf 2 The DVDs on the top shelf of my clost and on top of my bookshelf are 2 deep.

Toybox You can't see most DVDs in my toybox.There are 66 boxes, of varying size, in there.

And I do have another box under my bed, but it's pretty much all non-anime DVDs.

nice collection sedorna, where'd you get those spinning displays at?

Yes if I count each DVD in the complete collections I have 2,377. I know this because I catalog guns DVD's tools every thing on my computer for insurance purposes.



thats a good looking collection sedorna

Nice. A couple of thoughts:
1- I am soooooo glad I don't collect DBZ. Those things eat up vast amount of precious shelf space.
2- I see the majority of your stuff is alphabetized. You are a braver man than me.
3- Really nice jobs with the shelf. I'll probably set up something similar when I moved. I currently have all my DVDs in a large walk-in closet *mostly* on bought shelves, and I am completely out of room. Too bad I lack carpentry skills.

I fail. Ow, my pride. I cannot win against such zeal. See, i prefer quality over quantity so i have much less than you guyz. Maybe 15-17 series. Mostly box sets....

Thanks! I got the big one at spinkeeper.com, and I got the small one at Bestbuy.com. (But I think Best Buy doesn't stock them anymore.)

Remind me to introduce you to two members over at the AoD boards some day.

I decided to contribute as well for the hell of it. Like I mentioned, I have these DVDs in a walkin closet so it was a bit too tight in there to take good pictures. Also photobucket reduced the size considerably.
TRSI made some serious $$$ off of me the in past 10 years.
Not pictured are a ton of figures and video games that I keep on other shelves or in cardboard boxes.

Very nice, your boxsets set the collection off.

I gotta stop watching this thread, i'm getting depressed....

That's great and good luck. Bamboo picks collections of all different sizes and yours has plenty of visual appeal. I wouldn't be surprised see it show up in the next few weeks. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you.

Took a number of years off collecting due to work being extriemly busy but started catching up last Nov and have been filling out a lot of stuff. Need to put up anotehr rack and re-arrange as have a bit more then 300 more titles waiting for space or on order.

• DVD Corner #1 - The corner of the room for DVDs.
• Anime Rack - Rack of all Anime (yea that's the UY LD box up top).
• Anime Rack top- Close up of top half
• Anime Rack bottom- Close up of bottom half
• Mixed Content - Top Right
• Mixed Content - Bottom Right
• Mixed Content - Top Left
• Mixed Content - Bottom Left
• Non-Anime - Top Half
• Non-Anime - Bottom Half

Yea, lots of stuff still sealed but have a over 20 weeks of vacation backed up right now.

It doesn't compare to some of the collections so far but here is mine. And my first post on this forum. :P

My sister has an entire box from the collection that she took off for Florida with when I moved to Kansas City and it had about 100 disks in it. I have no idea when I will get them back. And I really don't want to think about how much of this I have gotten from TRSI because I know it has to be at least half of it. Those Geneon sales the last couple of years hit me pretty hard.

what I have of the collection
first shelf
second shelf
THE THIRD shelf
forth shelf

That's a great collection with a lot of excellent titles. Congrat's on your first post. Here's to hoping you belie your screen name and become a posting maniac; it's neat to see another KC person on the boards.

Oh, I post quite a bit at another anime board and I am a member over at AOD but don't post much over there.

you have a nice collection like Tsunami3k said you have some quality titles. after looking at your collection I realized that I still need to order My-Hime Z.

Congrats Harley! Just saw your collection on Shelf Life!

My collection is absolutely TINY compared to a lot of these. However, I'll still post pics. These are a bit outdated, but not by a lot. They were taken around Christmas of this past year.

I've since gotten rid of the Moon Phase vol. 1 + box and my Fushigi Yuugi OAV set, and obtained a few other things, including Mushishi 1 + box, and I've also changed my layout a bit, kinda for the worse. I refuse to take new pictures, however, until I have my shelves and such how I want them. That'll mean getting rid of the big white thing in favor of a better shelf and changing the purpose of the 2nd shelf that some of my DVDs are in right now. So that will likely be in June.

I have more anime shelfs they take up many rooms.
