Packing up

18 Sep
2008

This week my house is undergoing a bit of renovation. Basically, my house walls are being repainted and in a few days, my room will be next. All my furniture, bed, computer and goods will be moved out until the paint dries. This includes my posters where they will be taken down.

So starting tomorrow I will be repacking my figures and figmas into their boxes. Taking them out was easy but repacking them will be time consuming considering they are fragile and delicate. To ensure this goes as smooth as possible, I’m starting a few days early to avoid any hiccups I may encounter. I have the most items in my room so it will take me a good few days to get everything packed up and moved out.

In taking this opportunity, I will be doing my collection post. It will be my first full collection post ever since I became a figure collector. In additional I will be doing my full anime DVD post as well so look forward to it soon. Depending how smooth this move out goes, it could be up sooner than expected.

Here’s a sneak peek. ^^

I just took the boxes out tonight but it gives you an idea how much I acquired throughout the years so far.

Heheh, packing up won’t be fun at all I suspect. Almost all the time when I open my figures, I try to memorize which plastic wrapping goes where just so I can put it back originally if I have to. Needless to say, I think I failed miserably at that and I just end up stuffing the plastic wrapping in places where I feel the paint will rub off :p

All the best with the reno work, hopefully no hiccups occur for u =)

Packing up and moving when you are a figure collector sucks big-time. At least doujins and manga are easily packed into boxes or cartons, but not figures.

look forward to seeing your collection. I’ll be needing to do this someday too, if I don’t keep stalling on painting

Good thing you kept the boxes…
I never throw out the boxes cause I expect that I will need it in the near future…
Well, hope the repacking will go out well…

Wow that’s such a pain. I know because I packed up my figures because I’m planning on moving out soon. Good luck! Hope nothing breaks…

Oh wow.. That’s a lot. I hate to take out my figurines actually, for fear that I need to shift them frequently. Only my faves are out XD

@Blowfish
That’s one of the downside when becoming a figure collector. There are too much figures to pack.

@shino
Well, I still keep some of the plastic for the figures. Most of the time, I throw them out. I doubt the paint will rub off. it’s not like the plastic is hot or moving where it can rub the figure.

@noel
Thanks dude.
It was kinda unexpected but neathertheless, it has to be done.

@Nomad
my dvd post will be small. I don’t have that much compared to figures. ^^

@Panther
Agree. I spent a day working on it and I’m still not finished. T_T

@Persocom
My advice is, do it early while ur collection is small.

@Rin
I have to thank you guys out there. I was wondering why most of you still kept the boxes.

@Eetaku
I drop one of my figures twice. Luckily she’s still in tack.

@zenical
LOL. Well, I find their true beauty can never be shown if they are still inside the box.

this is bothersome, I know. I just did it few weeks ago when I moved to a new apartment… The worst part is not packing them… it is when you get them out of the boxes again ^^;
