Joe Room OR No Room For A Joe Room?

[80s Child]

So, who's got one, and who's still living out of totes?

I always thought that getting a house (after us renting on and off for 10 of the last 14 years) would mean a Joe Room for me (and ideally a whole TOY ROOM for my other toys and my wife's childhood toys), but even though we finally got our first house 16 months ago, after the master bedroom, nursery, and gym-office-storage overflow-catch-all ate up the 3 bedrooms, and considering that the basement only has 5' ceilings, crushed stone floor, and damp stone foundation walls not suitible for valuables to be stored there, and no garage either, our toys are still 90% in totes & boxes at the 'rents house with the exception of one tote of my Joe figures.

So, I'm in the NO JOE ROOM category still. :rolleyes:

I have a half-Joe/toy room in a house, the other side is my PS3. :D

I use a large area in my basement. It is a ton of space. An unfinished basement was one of the criteria I had when we bought.

I have been using my attic for my collectibles. I started by building a 4x8 HO train layout which came out terrific. Terrain and huge mountain tunnels. I always wanted to do it. Here it is:

However, Joes have always been my favorite so this hobby started up there too. Now with the baby, I am running out of storage and photo room. :o

Great train set up. I made a 027 gauge set up when I was a kid.

No Joe Room - yet. :o Still living out of Totes in a studio apt. :)

Great layout! I was recently looking into this, because it looks like the G Scale is mighty close to "Joe Scale".

I've got a Lego room. With a Lego train and town layout on the floor. And a few shelves reserved for Playmobil and GIJoe. Woot !

No Joe room, just a section of my garage. This is about it (http://www.joedios.com/dioramas/showimage.php?i=32138&catid=member&imageuser=1300) .

[neapolitan joe]

I have a big Joe room, You can see it in my pictures.

[dantedmc37]

I have a Joe corner! :(

[Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.]

Working on mine.

Its not exactly a Joe room...wish I could afford a room for EACH collection their that large...the collections not the rooms, but I finally found myself with AN extra room so I had to pick and chose what I wanted to keep in it.

Comic long boxes
Transformers
Joes


Sadly I can only use half the room to display and half to store...so currently my TFs are on display...and not even all of them fit...its G1-RiD and Bay films that is on display only.

I can't display any of the Energon, Unicron or Cybertron figures.

[Black Knight]

I have a joe room, but no current pics of it. The room is covered in Wall-mounted shelves... one full wall is GI Joe & Cobra, one wall is Star Wars, one is Marvel Universe & Transformers, and one is my awesome computer & Halo Mega Bloks. The room is also my guest room, hosting a futon and small TV.

Am laying down more flooring in my attic this Saturday, hoping to make it into a dio area and for storage.

Yeah - you don't want to step between the rafters without it! Ouch! Plus, there would be sheetrock patching to do afterwards. Happened to my neighbor...

Hey guys,
Sorry I've been away for so long. Been kind of busy with life, but I wanted to stop by and let you guys know I'm still around. As to the thread. Once we bought our new house, I got first choice of which room could be my "Collection" room. It has a closet with enough shelf space to display all of my Joes and most of my G1 Transformers. All of the vehicles are still in boxes.

[Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.]

Top shelf Autobot Pretenders
Shelf below Autobot Headmasters, Targetmasters and Powermasters
Bottom shelf G1-G2 Autobots

Another shot of the above shelves but the far end with Decepticons.

Below the G1's...Beast Wars and Machines Maximals...below that Predacons and any figure despite its series from those molds.

Finally...
Top shelf Actionmasters
Middle some G2 and RiD
Bottom Micromasters

Take note...see the top of the blue tote at the bottom of the picture...that is 3 25gl totes stacked on top of each other containing Armada, Energon, and Unicron figures I can not display for lack of room...also in the other room in boxes are Altenators, MPOP, MSkywarp, MGrimlock, and MRodimus I have no room for display.


Now Joe wise I'm still working on that display between two rooms.

I have 6...66qt totes full of loose Joes.
A closet full of Staples paper case boxes full of loose vehicles, and a HUGE shelf full of totes and some of the larger vehicles I have to sort out better still.

Its all a work in progress...when I have time.


There are also 21 long boxs of comics beneath that Sky Raven.

That's not a "Collections Room", that's a WING AT THE HASBRO MUSEUM!

It sounds like you could take your 2 weeks vacation all at once and still not be done sorting all of that treasure out!

W :D W!

[sithviper]

I think I'm going out on a limb by saying "You seem to be a Transformers fan." :p :D jk


Most of my collection is currently repacked into totes for a move

BTW, I don't see the Lonely B.A.T. that you own... :D

[Owner of a Lonely B.A.T.]

Oh the Lonely BAT would be the v4 bunny ear purple pants BAT...he is the only one of that kind I have.

However he's hardly alone...I have 2 shelfs of various BATS....I forget how many now but over 150 I think.

[Arvachu]

I have most of my vehicles packed away but my figures are in my bedroom on display though most of them are in baggies or laying down on shelves since I dont have room to set them up :(
