    Well this is my weekend project

    My wife wants to change out the flooring in our office. The majority of my collection happens to be in said office, and everything has to leave, so I've started the boxing up of stuff.

    This box is all vintage, and red top Adventure's of GiJoe boxes, are my 1969 Adventurer, 1969 Negro tagged Adventurer, and my 1969 Aquanaut. You'll also see my Italian issue Bavarelli Captain Action in there as well.

    Man, don't confine them to a box for long !!!

    They NEED to be displayed even if you have to put up wall shelving that don't touch the floor

          Well they will live in boxes for a time. These were all on shelves etc, but due to having to clear out the entire room for the flooring, and now she's thinking paint as well, it's a large project.



          I really like the Henshin Cyborg and Takara stuff I have but it may need to be cut back...

            What kinda flooring were you-all thinking ?

            Hard wood, tile etc ?

            Was watching a show not too long ago and they installed Italian marble and it look FANTASTIC

            A bit "cold", but very sterile and luxurious

              She's leaning toward either wood or vinyl planking, but that's still sort of up in the air. We have traditional tile in our foyer, but she has plans for it changing too, LOL.

                    Don't do vinyl planking. The minute it gets too much moisture it peels off. Even worse, if you so much as scoot a chair across it, it rips up the vinyl

                      My Aliens are not happy about going away for a while either... Also based on the amount of crap I have in the room left to move, I may just have to nuke it from orbit.

                            Now it's Shogun time... My Godzilla doesn't have a box so he's already taking a dirt nap in a box with other stuff.
