What lucky kids you have. I didn't have all this cool stuff at my house growing up.

EDIT: Who's collecting all of those Beanie Babies?

Ummm, those are uhhh, yeah, those are mine. I collect video games, nutcrackers/smokers, and...beanie babies Oh, and tools, very manly tools.

It takes a real man to collect stupid girly shit and admit it. Good for you.

Unexpected, but it's all good in the hood. My preference is Ugly Dolls.

Nice. I hope that one day I can get a girl that understands me like your wife.

I'd like to see what your N64 and Gamecube collections consist of, but I'm not going to expect you to list or anything, just curious.

N64 - I have everything I consider good, with the exception of Clayfighter-Sculptor's Cut.
That was the first library I collected and I held onto it for a bit, but afterwhile reality set in - I never played half the games (mainly sports) and they take up a ton of space. So I eventually sold the 130 games I felt weren't worth owning for me - I now have 167 of the 297.

Earlier this year:


And Now:


Gamecube, I never was very close, I had just over 400 games and was working toward the library. I made a decision to stop before it got out of hand though, 700 GCN games take up a ton of room and same as N64, only about 60% are enjoyable imo - so I kept the ones I play a lot. The only games I still want are Cubivore and Risk, that will bring me to a final total of 243 and i'll consider that library settled.

Wow sexy stuff, I want an Astro City so badly

Awesome stuff mjm, I am glad that I could help out in any small way.

Are your kids really tall or are those cabs just that short? I have always been intrigued by them, but it looks like I'd have to bend over to play!

Very nice, and thank you for the pictures. Very clean. I have a copy of Cubivore, and I see why it has become so coveted. My friend tried to badger it out of me for years after I bought it for 5 bucks. Now its worth like 10 times that. :p Also, I really like the labels, it's a great idea, even if done before. I'm going for about 15 or so N64 games I want, trying to get them in boxes....

That's some epic shelving, I love it. And those candy cabs are the perfect size for kids. I've always liked that they're designed to sit at, but I never even considered how much better they'd be for kids compared to American styled cabs.

They are definately meant to be sat down. I am building a bench and 2 stools - I understand that the official Taito stools are very attractive and comfortable, and are sought after.

I'm a little over 6'3" and am quite comfortable sitting on (stop-gap chair for now). You can easily fit 2 bigger guys on one candy cab and be comfortable by angling toward the side a bit (which most of us do at stand up cabs anyways). With my set up, both cabs next to each other - if I had 4 big guys over, i'd have to separate them another foot or so, but that wouldn't be a problem.

Me and the boy:

Great thread, great collection, and all around great guy.

Also, if I could count the number of times I've had that conversation with my wife.

When I saw you posted - I thought FOR SURE you'd be commenting on the shirt in the last pics
