Awesome game and season 1 of the best animated TV show ever. Found it cheap at Bookmans. I really should go find the complete series boxset, though. Home Movies is <3.

My new fake guitar is the top one. My RB 1/2 Frankenguitar and Aerosmith guitar for size reference Surprise! More transformers. Left to right: G1 Broadside, RotF Ravage, G1 Octane Broadside was a joke. There was a cheap auction for him and nobody was bidding. He's a horrible, immobile brick in all of his forms. This Ravage was a special mail away figure in the US... who was a Toys R Us exclusive in Canada & Australia. At first I didn't like his coloring, but then I learned its an homage to the Black Lion from Voltron and now I think it's genius. He's not really a triple-changer.. at least, his "chicken" form is not official ;P And Octane is the 3rd Decepticon triple-changer. I've had Astrotrain and Blitzwing for a while and finally got Octane to complete the set.

With all that leg? Naw, man, that's awesome! -Tom That. Plus, what's wrong with "girly", anyway? My latest contribution: Not the stuff on the shelves, mind, but the storage unit itself. (I'm not used to assembling furniture like this, so it was an interesting experience. ) It's mostly good, with one irritating design flaw: The shelves don't actually have grooves for the pins to go into -- they just sit on top of the pins. The spacing seems to be designed with that in mind, the way the shelves just barely have enough room for DVD cases the way they're set up now... except on the very left and right sides, where I can't quite fit one because the pins are there. *grumbles* Theoretically, I can rotate it around to get to the back, but I don't really have room for that where it is now.

I've been Miku'd Sadly a lot of the cool-looking stage equipment for the bigger set is just stuff printed on cardstock that you have to assemble yourself. I should've known better after reading a review of the Golga 13 figma who had a backdrop that was disappointingly the same self-assembly cardstock

About the only way to get a close up with light was to hold it, so it's kinda blurry.

And Bugen: I see a few familiar cases on that bookshelf! Shadow of Destiny, for one, which I highly approve of. (: And... is that the box-set of Kanon on the second shelf up from the bottom, next to Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within? I would NEVER have recognized that if I hadn't just bought it myself recently... and I could be wrong, as it's kinda hard to make out... but it sure looks like it! You're right on Shadow of Destiny (though the logo is big enough to be pretty much unmistakable), but the other one is actually a copy of Fantasia 2000, courtesy of my aunt. (Someone donated it to the library she worked for at the time, but they already had a copy of it, so she ended up giving it to me. Considering that they didn't have any use for it and would've just sold it for a pittance anyway -- maybe they did and she just bought it -- that struck me as a cool thing to do. I still haven't watched it yet, though. ^^;) I haven't decided how I'll organize everything yet -- for now, I pretty much put them there to test the spacing (and since they were sitting on my shelf disorganized).

Fraid that's the best I can do, they aren't super sharp on the candy itself. Don't have a real camera, so I can only use my phone's

Yay. Woah!!! WAIT! This might work!? www.instructables.com/id/Take-awesome-macro-photos-with-your-camera-phone-a/

Drat. I was hoping I'd guessed something ridiculously hard to guess, and would win a prize. Ah well. Crono: VERY blurry, so it's hard to tell... but yeah, I think those are from the Zwei games indeed. The red one looks to be the dog or the cat... the white one is either Mona the bunny, the sword-wielding pet from Zwei II, or that weird octopus-that-doesn't-look-like-an-octopus mascot from the "let's play Zwei!!" videos Falcom released. And the blue one... I'm not too sure about, but it does look familiar. A closer look would be needed to positively ID it. -Tom Isn't that blue one a Sora no Kiseki one? I got one with the Falcom goodie gift bags back when I got stuff from the first contest I took part in? I remember someone mentioning that it was an imitation of a bomb? ....Or something. Perhaps I dreamt all that up. :'D Also~ I'm noticing this VERY late, but what is that awesome looking Feena and Reah thing that psybuster has?! :'D A laptop sticker? ?

Mark each shelf where the pins sit, then, using a dremel tool, carve out your own grooves for the pins to sit in. I had to do this on my shelving units, with the entire process, including cleanup, taking only a few minutes.

I had to do this on my shelving units, with the entire process, including cleanup, taking only a few minutes. My brother suggested the same thing, so I'll point out the same thing as I did to him. The shelf has three "spaces" for pins, then some hole-free space where the stuff is supposed to go, then three spaces, then some hole-free space, and repeat. Like this: . . . . . . . . . etc. If you have the shelves in the same relative spaces (e.g., middle spot on the section below for this shelf, and medium spot on the next shelf up), then there's exactly enough height to put standard DVD cases in there, except for the part where the pins get in the way of the ones at the end. Whoever designed this thing didn't think their brilliant plan quite all the way through... If I did what you're suggesting, it'd go from just barely enough space to hold a DVD case (except at the ends) to just barely enough space to not hold DVD cases. What I really want is for the holes for the pins to be placed slightly higher, so they provide room for DVD cases at the end. I wish I noticed both the problem with placing DVDs at the end and the blank space between the sections of spacing for the pins before I bought it -- then I probably would've kept looking.

Always take DVDs to the store with you lol.
You could always just drill new holes too.

The Archandroid, by Janelle Monáe Rules! If you've heard "The Audition", or "Metropolis: The Chase Suite I" by Janelle which were cool, this is even better!
