Did you know they sell these neat boxes now that you can put your comic books in?

 

[Billabong7329]

yuuup, I have two of them lol. I just like looking at the covers, so there on my wall.

Jesus, you need to dust bro. BTW, do I spot a Batman Returns batmobile Happy Meal toy? NICE!!!

 

[Billabong7329]

Yeah, my room is pretty dirty. Maybe if I'm not too tired after work I'll come home and clean. Its suppose to rain all day today and for the next few days, so it sounds like a pretty good time to clean. Also, this is pretty much it for my collection for the next four years. I'm getting ready to go to college and I probably won't be able to afford much of anything aside from continuing my comics collection. I'm pretty happy with what I have so far though, and I really enjoy it all.

not to say that you should, but if you sold all that stuff, you could probably buy a house straight-up!

 

[ThreeActRomance]

Holy Crap!

 

[ThreeActRomance]

also. where did you pick up that all black Knight Shadow Batman?

 

[Joker8906]

wow its like my star wars collection only bigger. Bravo

 

[Billabong7329]

I found it at Toys R Us a few weeks back, but now they replaced that whole little section with POTC crap.

 

[Dark-Knight]

Can I pay you to let me live in that room?

hahaha. what are you, 10?



Interesting choice of wall paper you have there, using your comics.

this comic store next to my house has so many batman toys and collectables

Today was a good day. I just got the following stuff in the mail:

Superman Up, Up, and Away (4 Action Comics issues and 4 Superman issues)
Tumbler Alarm Clock (cooler than I thought it would be)
Batman Returns Soundtrack
Batman Dual bladed knife

I'm not really into collecting knives or anything, I actually use to think it was kind of creepy, but it was batman themed and it looks pretty cool. Its only really for display and I'll probably use it as a box cutter as well.

I'm also waiting for The Batman Motion Picture Soundtrack (not the one with the songs from Prince, but the actual score from the movie), a single cd from R Kelly from Batman and Robin, and a complete run of gotham knights that I got for a little under $50.

I'll take pictures later.

The "FOOD NETWORK?!?!"

I love what you did with the walls. Thumbs up.

 

[Billabong7329]

lol I was watching one of those food network challenges. The theme of the challenge was the Simpsons Movie, so all of them were baking simpsons themed cakes.

I just got the hot wheels "gotham city" 5 pack from target today. It is the rare version with the GCPD car rather than the batcycle thing. I was pretty excited and I was actually only looking for the 2007 new models batmobile.

My mom's boss, who also use to be into comics, recently gave me two Batman:TAS posters. They are pretty awesome and I had never seen them before. I'll take some pictures in a little while.

I love the putting the comics on the wall thing I use to have a friend who did that with his comics too.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Amazing.

How long have you been collecting and how much would you say all of that is worth?

 

[Billabong7329]

I've only recently started collecting, only about two years ago actually. I've gotten most of the comics (that are on my wall at least) from ebay.

The thing that started this all was actually my sister suggesting I decorate my room with something. I thought for a while and decided comic books would be something cool to do that with. I had always liked batman as a kid, but I wasn't really into comics. So for my birthday my sophomore year in high school (I'm just about to start my freshman year in college) my dad bought me a set of 150 comics for about $50 off of ebay. Ever since than I've been buying more and more stuff on ebay (Full LODK set, full Gotham Knights set, etc) as well as buying stuff I see at stores.

Its a lot of fun to collect something you know you'll never really complete. There is just so much stuff to get and you always find something new. I really enjoy it.

I also have no idea how much I've spent. I would guess everything I own total would probably be worth ~$2,000, but I'm really not sure. If I sat and thought about it I could probably come up with a better estimate, but I rather not as I would probably be shocked at how much I spent, lol.
