What do I do with all these crates?

[Roughneck]

So I like Marvel Figure Factory, (Despite them cancelling FF3) but what the hell to I do with the near 15 little crates I have? I can likely use a couple......but I have a lot.

What do you guys do with them?

[Rez]

I don't own them myself, nor do I display my toybiz stuff in dioramas around my room.

However, if I did have a set up with some dioramas, I'd probably take all the crates and set them up warehouse style, with Spiderman jumping over a few and Doc Ock knocking a bunch over. Basically, do up the scene from the 90's TAS.

Not doing dioramas, I'd probably throw them out.

Another option, should you want to hang on to them, is display the figures on top or in front of the boxes. It would take up a little more space, but not by much. I usually keep my boxes for statues, busts, and Medicoms, and I do that a lot.
You can get pretty creative with it, really makes quite the nice display. IE, take them and put them in a Pyramid-Staircase like set up, then place a row of figs in front on the bottom, then one each on top of the available spots.

The last option which I've never liked, is box them up. Throw them in a plastic box and toss it in your basement or garage or closet or something. A box full of boxes. Waste of space, IMO.

Oh, another good one- presents for your lady friends- tell them it's a jewerly box.

[Kable24]

send them to me?!

[SpiderHulkThing]

I've seen people stack the crates up and display the figs on top of them. You could do the same thing and have a heiracry of the ones you like best starting with the best on top and working down.

That's exactly what I use 'em for. Works well I find too. :up:
I did have a picture of my MFF display on the crates but I can't find it. Must have deleted it for some reason...

[Roughneck]

Well I have all my MFFs lines up with some on the crates being a seconid row.....But that uses 4. I have a couple more in ML.


Still got like 7.


I should recreate the resting place of the arc of the Covenant.

[Cyclops]

Well, if the crates are big enough, you can always have a random Legends character with superhuman strength heaving one over his head...

[Mister Gone]

I keep my FF parts in em

[XwolverineX]

I keep my FF parts in em


:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:


You don't like, build the figure?

[SpiderHulkThing]

i wish the crates were big enough to put the cards in them. i'll probably use a couple of my crates to hold change.

[Mister Gone]

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:


You don't like, build the figure?

At first, then I pack em up and stack em up :) I only need 7 more mystery series 2 woohoo

[Unleashed]

:confused:

[FEAR THE BAT]

I use the crates to ship drugs with.

[Unleashed]

I use them to display

[FEAR THE BAT]

Sometimes I ship poo to people I don't like.

[Unleashed]

I KNEW IT WAS YOU!!!!:mad:

[FEAR THE BAT]

My bad. :(

[FEAR THE BAT]

I sometimes ship condoms to people I've met that I feel shouldn't reproduce.

[Unleashed]

once again....

[FEAR THE BAT]

That one I don't apologize for.

[Unleashed]

actually, i totally agree:(

[FEAR THE BAT]

Damn, how did I forget about the time I shipped this guy's finger to his wife in one of those crates. Dumb guy actually paid me to ship the finger to see if his wife would be willing to pay the ransom. Dumb ass.

Now he's divorced. And missing a pinky.

Atleast he's also missing a gold digger.

Oops.

[SpiderHulkThing]

if you want some condoms to ship to people ftb, they have them used on amazon. you could probably get a better deal.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Nah, I get them free here at my job. They give them steadily to people who come in with STDs.

[SsM]

do whAAAAAAAAAAT

[SpiderHulkThing]

he works at the hospital. that's why he gets free rubbers. i love the sloggan "use condom sense". it's in a lot of the bathrooms here at school.

[FEAR THE BAT]

My friend and i stole a sign from a construction site that said "No Dumping Allowed: Up to a $200 fine" and he put it in his bathroom. This was when I was in high school and out of my mind.

Stealing is bad, kiddies. BAD!!!

[Unleashed]

I have "Thanks for ****tin' in me" on the inside of my toilet seat.

[SpiderHulkThing]

Yeah, stealing is bad. But you know those paper seat-protector dispensers they have in the mall bathrooms? well one of them had a tab on it that said "First pull up, then pull down". I ripped it off and put it in my bathroom. On the wall in front of the toliet.

[Unleashed]

My CT ROCKS!!!!

[FEAR THE BAT]

Calm down

[Unleashed]

but itdoes

[FEAR THE BAT]

Crawl back into your hole you unnatural alien insect adult.

[Unleashed]

Ha, you will rue the day you mocked me!!!

[FEAR THE BAT]

Ha, you will poo the day you cockblocked me!!

[SpiderHulkThing]

wow, that's pretty nasty.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Well, Doomie is the nastiest, filtiest, grungiest, most vilest being on the planet.

If the shoe fits...

[SpiderHulkThing]

his kids will probably be little angels who want to do nothing but participate in extracurricular activities and community service just to spite him.

[FEAR THE BAT]

And they'll have names like Blanche, Thad, Buff and Johnny Be Good

[SpiderHulkThing]

i don't know Doom, but i think that FTB might just be out to get you.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Me, naaaaah. He knows the truth. If he didn't then I don't have any explanation for his consistant crying.

Unless he got his wang caught is his Doom suit's zipper

[SpiderHulkThing]

do you think if they made an adult doom costume, that he'd wear it around the house?

[SpiderHulkThing]

is that what you're saying?

[Unleashed]

Most definitely, my good sir.

[SpiderHulkThing]

if i make you one, would you have someone take pictures of you on it and put them on the internet? and maybe even make your own doom movie?

[SpiderHulkThing]

have you put together spidey yet? i see that you got him.

[FEAR THE BAT]

SHT, by now I'm sure Doomie has several Doom suits. He's very insecure about his look. Friggin' metro.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i remember way back when, when he posted a pic of a guy with pale hands showing something. i don't remember what the thing he was showing was, but that people were thinking it was his hand and he was saying it was someone else and that the conversation when on for a while. that's when i was lurking. i beat someday a lurker will start posting and tell you how you pass gas on your wife while you sleep bat.

[SpiderHulkThing]

but i can seriously see someone walking around in a doom inspired butter's costume.

[Unleashed]

I was showing the Wolverine blades I bought. The only picture I could find online had some skinny-ass white dude modeling them.

[SpiderHulkThing]

yeah. now i remember.

[SpiderHulkThing]

how much did you end up paying for them?

[FEAR THE BAT]

So that wasn't you Doomie??

[Unleashed]

no, i am neither skinny-ass nor a white dude

[SpiderHulkThing]

half mexican?

[SpiderHulkThing]

you both live in texas right? how far apart do you guys live?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Like 3 hrs probably

[SpiderHulkThing]

i'm suprised you guys haven't met each other in person and had a duel.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i actually might be moving to texas myself after i get out of pharmacy school.

[Unleashed]

Doom Vs. Batman?

I think we all know what THAT outcome would be

[FEAR THE BAT]

Where to?

[SpiderHulkThing]

not sure yet. tx in general. they pay pharmacists well.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i dont know doom. FTB might choke you with one of his free condoms.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Doom Vs. Batman?

I think we all know what THAT outcome would be

Your denial to admit my greatness speaks volumes of your fear.

Go cry in a closet with your blankie lil Doomie Pisspants.

[SpiderHulkThing]

if i move to Tx, then we're all getting together and you two will settle this once in for all. "Cripple fight!"

[FEAR THE BAT]

Well, aslong as everything goes according to plan I'll be headed to the WizardWorld Texas convention this year. Its his turf, I have no worries.

[SpiderHulkThing]

so you guys are meeting then?

[FEAR THE BAT]

I dunno. But I'll be in that area if I do get to go. Aslong as I get off I should be able to. I'm subject to my supervisor's mercy though

[SpiderHulkThing]

yeah. stick it to the man.

[FEAR THE BAT]

I try my best. :up:

[Roughneck]

....i was thinking of selling my soul on e-bay.

[FEAR THE BAT]

You could probably get a good chunk of change for it.

I say go for it.

[SpiderHulkThing]

no dude. seriously. it's not worth it. i only got $5 and i really feel like things have been going ***** for me lately and i think it has something to do with that.

[Roughneck]

Serious?

[FEAR THE BAT]

$5?!? Damn, you were robbed. I know Rough's market value is atleast the low $20s.

[FEAR THE BAT]

BTW Rough, we gotta talk. It concerns what I owe you

[SpiderHulkThing]

i'm sorry, i'm not being serious (cereal). but that's probably all i'd get.

[SpiderHulkThing]

wouldn't it be nice if girls collected figs too. then i'd be trying to trade sexual favors for figs.

[SsM]

My ex girlfriend collected sailor moon and DBZ figures...

[SpiderHulkThing]

i bought amanda most of the burger king starwars toys.

[Roughneck]

BTW Rough, we gotta talk. It concerns what I owe you



.....interesting. Hit me.

[FEAR THE BAT]

I don't wanna hit you. We're friends. :(

[Roughneck]

hit me with the word speak.

[SpiderHulkThing]

he's saving his strength for doom. i'm gonna start selling tickets for their fight. i wonder how much i should charge. so what i'll do is give 40% to the winner and a kick in the balls to the loser. sound fair?

[FEAR THE BAT]

Fair enough. But I'll warn you now, Doomie wears an adamantium cup.

[Roughneck]

I want a cut of the DVD sales.


Anyway FTB, Talk to me.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Sorry bro but its gonna be a few. I'm changing spots but before I do I gotta make a quick run to grab some grub. I'll be back guys.

[SpiderHulkThing]

i think i'm out. night guys.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Later SHT. Good luck finding the WM MLs.

[Roughneck]

Night SHT. I should get your figs sent out tomorrow. and venom UKs as well.

[SsM]

I need to pay you the money for my next batch.. Since its taking so long to ship accross the continent

[Roughneck]

I told you not to expect it really quick.



So I'm gonna header for a while. my Plan is to nap and get up in a couple hours and go into work so I can actually get **** done (During the day so many people bother me and ****).....So Half of that time will be on the Hype.

[FEAR THE BAT]

You going to sleep?

[SsM]

Hey ftb.. Noone stole that ten dollars I put in hobgoblins cape did they?? I thought i was pretty clever tucking it away like that :P

[FEAR THE BAT]

It was there. Smart thinking SsM. :up:

[XwolverineX]

Hey ftb.. Noone stole that ten dollars I put in hobgoblins cape did they?? I thought i was pretty clever tucking it away like that :P


Lmao, how cool. :D

[Flash-er]

I say sell them as Metal Gear Solid "box" disguises. :)

[SpiderHulkThing]

eh. i woke up at 8 in the morning just so i could go to WM and get stuff before they were all gone in case they had them. i was feeling lucky too. but alas, nothing. i went to TRU and nothing as well. i did ship off SsM's stuff at least. Enjoy.

[Roughneck]

I fell asleep. Didn't get to work. Going to WM today.....then maybe do some work this evening.


*Sigh* That is my Friday night?

[SpiderHulkThing]

better than my friday night. i've got to study all day soon as i get off here. finals are tuesday through thursday.

[Roughneck]

......Yeah but Studying and finals can lead to a far better jo.........no....better jobs can lead to working on a friday night.

Pharmacist right? That shouldn't be so bad. They generally have set hours. What ever you do don't become a front Office manager at a hotel.

[SpiderHulkThing]

ha, i'll keep that in mind. yeah, being a pharmacist should be too bad as far as hours go. unless i work at a 24 hour pharmacy like walgreens. i just hope i get into pharmacy school next year. i applied to dental school for the upcoming year and didn't get in anywhere. kind of glad though, cause i dont want to be a dentist anyhow. my dad pays for school and he is the one that pushed me into trying. but i'll apply to both pharm school and dental school for the following year and if i get into both, i'm going to pharm school. At least i'll be making more than enough $ for figs either direction i go in.

[FEAR THE BAT]

Hopefully all goes well for you SHT.

Rough, when you get here PM me.

[XwolverineX]

I checked both WM's and TRU last night. No WM-ML, ML13, 2 pack or DCSH2. This sucks. :o

[MangleBoP]

So I like Marvel Figure Factory, (Despite them cancelling FF3) but what the hell to I do with the near 15 little crates I have? I can likely use a couple......but I have a lot.

What do you guys do with them?
You could give the crates to me....

[Roughneck]

Nah

[FEAR THE BAT]

Greedy bastitch

[Roughneck]

I prefer to think of myself as a Greedy Poozer.

[FEAR THE BAT]

You evil banana swine!!!

[Roughneck]

yep....EVIL!

[FEAR THE BAT]

You will burn for your betrayal

BURN I SAY!!!

[Roughneck]

.....So....Crates.

[FEAR THE BAT]

May you rest in pieces inside said crates and BURN!!!

[Roughneck]

:(Aw:(

[FEAR THE BAT]

Don't cry

Dry your eye

Before get whooped by two little guys

[Roughneck]

I had a dream last night.

[FEAR THE BAT]

About what???

Sex in a crate?

[Roughneck]

About you and me getting money.

[FEAR THE BAT]

DAmn straight bro.
