Storage Crisis!
« on: December 08, 2009, 18:52:57 »
Hi,
Ive got a bit of a storage crisis at the moment, and my Mum is in despair  :D
(she can't stand Playmobil at the best of times) :(

Ive got tons of it and about another 150 quids worth coming from ebay this week, and have run out of room now! There's Playmo in my room, other peoples rooms, in the loft and in the sheds  :-[

I sold quite a bit of iton ebay about a week ago, but as soon a some goes, lots more comes in and replaces it!  8}

Has anyone got any good space saving storage ideas?

That's an idea, but if you start paying rent & utilities it will be difficult to afford additional Playmobil  :(! BTW, Does she kick them over on purpose  :P?

Yes, I have a 5 tier shelving unit which has got some of my boats and trucks on it, but I can only fit about 3 on each shelf - which isn't many considering the amount of vehicles that I have got  :D

They're pretty impressive Bill, I just wish I had the room for my own such displays :(

Everybody seems to specialize in certain themes, whereas I just have a lot of everything that I havent got room for ie. numerous forts, castles, pirate ships, trains and vehicles which most never see the light of day because I have'nt got the space to get them out or set them up, let alone have the room to store them in the first place!

I guess I'm just a hoarder...

What you see is only a fraction of what I have, most is still stored in their boxes in storage until I rotate things around. I think we're all some what guilty of being hoarders  :-[! You need to check out Rasputin's collection & office displays!

These are old pictures and things are changing but you get the idea ;)

If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:
