:shock: That's an awesome collection room. I've never wanted to move out of London for more space until now. Very jealous :mrgreen:

Superb room and collection Shawn with loads of scope for expansion too. I'd have to get rid of the kids to create that much room....now there's a thought! 8)

Holy poop that's amazing!
Actually looks like something you would see on RS, I thought only rich Americans (that I'm so jealous of) had man caves like that!
Superb mate - well done

Sweet looking room Shawn and love seeing all those transformers together as well. I'm wondering if you'll have an Alien section at some point as well ( pretty sure you mentioned have the reaction figures)?

A delight to see and looking forward to the update and the finished room already

Thanks again for the comments. Here's some more individual type pics.

Well thank you. I am an American, but far from rich. I just got lucky that the Mrs let me have the 2nd largest room in our home for the collection.

The cabinets are the Ikea Billy cases with the upgrades done to them. I plan to do that to the rest of them too once funds permit it.

Yep I have a little Alien section now that the new pics show a little better. I've still got to get a loose opener set where they did the blue cards for the early bird set. I'm hoping to incorporate the egg chamber playset with that too.

Looking brilliant . Showcase is probably my favourite part of the forum. Nothing better than admiring someone else's collection .
Great stuff

Figured I'd do an update for the new year. My wife for my bday and Christmas got me some more items to help finish up the display. I've now got my doors for all the large cases and all the lighting installed.

In doing the lighting I also wanted to get some smart outlets, so I could control them from my phone. I used these iHome outlets which even allow Siri control.

Here's a first test I did with them when I initially got them, but you can customize them with different phrases and things which will be how I'll do it in the end.
