MrKnowthanx Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Does a small wall in the entire house count? When we bought this house I made a point that my "stuff" would be coming out of the closets. Just today she said maybe you do the exact same thing on the other wall. At any rate here is my work in progress. I am so jealous of the Unopened Zartan!!!!!!!!!!!!1 I have wanted to buy one of those for years now. They are just a bit too expensive for me right now. When I see that zartan, the second Snake Eyes (visor and wolf), or Storm Shadow (1st), I instantly go back in my mind to playing in my backyard with my brother.

I lost all my GIjoes to the sandbox when I was 10. I remember digging up torso's for years later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PKJ Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Thank you all. Zartan has always been a favorite along with the Twins. Phillip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delorean1981 Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 A lot of stuff is still in storage, but I will be moving some time in the next couple months so I should be able to get it all out! I too thought your dog was a statue. Looks like a best friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankCastle Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 I guess continuing the GI Joe theme... I thought a lot more of my basement would be comics, but the toys are outnumbering them about 20 to one right now. I hope for that to change soon (as I've really run out of room for toys, has to be comics). It's a mess so far, but I've been putting some time (and money into shelving) lately, so I figured, let's have a looksie. This is about halfway into the room, couch is sitting towards the fireplace midway into the room. Again, sorry about the mess. You can see where the comics start on the right hand side at the top.

FrankCastle Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Here's part of my GI Joe collection, I collect loose with box, box has to be Canadian (the boxes I would have seen shopping in Canada back in the early 80's as a kid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankCastle Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Some better pics of the comics. Sadly I could fill up two more shelves with Golden Age War books, however these shelves really don't like going into my wall easily. More soon I hope.

FrankCastle Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 And of course how can you have a toy and comic room without toys from the greatest wrestling federation of all time? Vern Gagne's American Wrestling Association was quality time with my dad, great memories, even though of course we watched Superstars (WWF), and International Wrestling as well (damn I wish they made a Steve Strong action figure)! Shameless plug, I am looking for ALL of the series 4 AWA figures known as the Mat Mania figures, paying well for original and complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankCastle Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 OK, last pic, as you walk in before the couch this house had a custom built shelf directly on the left after the stairs (the basement, besides having new wiring, is almost completely original from when it was built in 1969, complete with shag carpet of course, which drew me to this home). I of course have filled it with toys including my NES with the good ol Commodore Monitor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatchaman Posted October 17, 2014 Share Posted October 17, 2014 Frank, that is an great looking room. My son would die for those Joes. Great looking wrestlers too. It's not easy finding those older ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iceman399 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Mr. Castle you shouldn't be taking pictures and instead getting our next sub ready. Looks like you have done some nice work since I saw it last. We def have to get together to discuss our upcoming plans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrin's lawyer Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 One very cool looking basement FrankCastle, I love it! Also love the MOTU, which is one of the things I collect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankCastle Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hey thanks a lot guys for the kind words! I collect MOTU in Canadian packaging NL, and you'd be surprised how hard it is to find. Figured I'd throw up a few more. Again, a few of my favorite things being KISS, Gobots, Zellers (the now defunct department store), and of course Star Wars! My bar area, got Peter to sign that poster in 93 at the Toronto Kiss Expo. And of course, who can forget Vinnie Vincent!!! Ahhh, the Gobots are so under-appreciated. That's OK, more for me! And yes, that's an original 1986 WWF event tear-away (untorn) Hulk Hogan Hulkamania shirt. The much under-appreciated Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid line (and very hard to put together), and the Legends of the Lone Ranger set fromt the same time period. Still working on my Clash of the Titans and Micronauts. Sadly these are in my laundry room. I only have the one shelf, so the rest of my Joes rot away in bins.
