Hey gang, it's been awhile but I wanted to stop in and say hi. Been having a rough year with family, money and computers but I've been promising a pic of my collection to several people and while I hoped to take better photos before showing, I've waited long enough. Feel free to comment, but please excuse me if I take days or months to answer.

Wow you got alot of stuff I didn't even know existed, it's a shame you can't digitize alot of the story/art content in high quality scans. Seeing photos is cool an all but being able to enjoy reading/viewing the content would benefit the BB community even more so.

Whenever I have something to scan that is bigger than my scanner can fit, I just scan by halves and piece them together in photoshop. It's more tedious but if it means making permanent digital backups of something rare, its usually worth the effort imo.

That's probably the most complete collection ever. The Greek Beasts set makes me envious. Congrats on the hard work getting all that, I know it wasn't easy.

LOL What's happening here!?!?!
And I didn't even click on the pics yet to see them in fullscreen

This is an awesome collection mate, great job!
How long have you been collecting?

Pretty sure you didn't just start with it looking at the amount and pieces/items in there with the prices of today....


I'm speechless and blown away by this.


UPDATE: OK, after having looked over it a little more in full screen I'm sure a lot of Board mystery's are solved with these pics. We've found Roland's collection based on the amounts of Sharks in the army, the Mountain display is there and some other questions are solved as well.

On a personal note its great to see you have a small Penguin army as well, and even a boxed one although these boxes seem to be incomplete missing their pamphlets? Sad to see even you don't have a Pink Rabbit out there............

and now for something I like to call Marty's corner
his customs renewed my desire to collect and ever since I've tried to come up with increasingly impossible ideas but he's beat me every time
his spot in my collection has come to dominate my cabinet

I started in 2005, I think the board needs a little mystery to get people motivated and looking for answers, didn't think I was part of any mysteries though, unless you count crop circles. look at the end of the row with the purple shark and you'llsee the pink rabbit's ear, not all my boxes had pamphlets but I do have most of the cards for them

But wait, there's more of Marty's handy work
can anyone guess my favorite beast?
