BOWEN NUT

08-30-2006, 12:20 PM

Is there such a thing as AA but for statue nuts?

I'm just looking over my outstanding orders and I can't believe all the stuff I'll have coming in...

Today I pick up the Bowen Hawkeye statue from my LCS.

I've pre-ordered the Bowen Red Skull statue

I won a Pre-Sale auction for the Bowen Green Goblin statue (fingers crossed)

I pre-Ordered the Bowen Classic Hulk statue

I pre-Ordered the SideShow Fantastic Four Diorama

and finally, I just pre-Ordered the Hard Hero Iron Man statue!

I'm also undecided on which Iron Fist statue to get! Hard Hero or Bowen??

I'm gonna need to build an addition to the house.

THat depends on if you like Action or Museum... The HH Iron Fist looks amazing in person... and from the pix of the Bowen one it also looks great... so good luck on your decision! :D or may be you could buy both and paint one red! :D

Darn have one painted one red. I never thought of that. I do tend to prefer the red costume over green, although I already have the Bowen Red Iron Fist Bust. Decisions, decisions. :)

Why ask why.

It's either this or cheap hookers with bad tattoos like " Eat at Joe's" on there
lower back.

Enjoy the ride.
If you can afford it,buy it.

Let's just be THANKFULL DC D dosn't put out any desent stuff. Or the amount
the the other companies do. ( If your into that kinda thing.)

Then you would have to stop.

And buy cheap hookers with bad tattoo's like " No dumping. $200 fine" under
her belly button.

I'm hurting in both areas. Now that I've gone into the FS arena I really need much more space. The Fall and Winter is going to bring a s**t load of busts and statues and I am almost out of room. My first project is to downsize my books and get rid of the bookcase and put in a display case instead. That should carry me for a couple months...then I'm really f****d. :laugh:

That's not a bad idea...I do have to figure out where to put all those FS Spidey villains coming out this year.

Although I don't know if I like the thought of a Scorpion and a Rhino going in or out of my a**. :laugh:

Question: do you guys bury all the boxes these statues come in on your backyards?

I have a big walk in closet downstairs in the basement, a shelf that goes all around the top for the MB's and the FS's go underneath on the floor

I reorganized it the other day & found that I'm really still using only half the room :buttrock:

You guys are just SICK. I've gotta pay for 2 houses that hit me up for $5k a month and then there's the cars, electricity, cable, phones, gas and groceries. That said, I have almost everything pre-ordered. :banghead:

phnx75

08-30-2006, 02:54 PM

I used to hold on to the boxes, but I would need a whole seperate house to hold all them. Now I just keep a few of the boxes for the pricey statues, just in case I ever want to unload one (Silver surfer, Dr. Doom, Phoenix).

I have no display cases at this point, so all my loose statues/busts would go in there and leave only a little more room for the future.

I had the same problem, all my shelf space was gone so I ordered 8 cubes about 2 weeks ago. In the 2 weeks I ordered enough statues to fill all the ones I brought up, now I have to order more cubes :banghead:
Its a good thing I keep telling myself :)

Again the eternal problem....no room. I just bought 2 large cases from comic store that was closing down and I still don't have enough room.

Also having loose statues/busts makes me very fearful...for myself. I'm really clumsy and I already lost a lot my Invisible Girl Bust's fingers.

I was thinking of going the cube route. The busts definitely look great when you have a theme for each cube. Still on the wall. Jesse's collection looks great in them though.

I think it was the best investment. They are reasonable in price but you have to be carefull about shipping though it could get costly. I pretty much buy all FS' and they fit 2 normal size comfortably. Any more and I think it would take away from the statues. When I saw Jesse's, and Claws collection in the cubes I knew that was the route to go.
Easy to put together too if your all thumbs like me :)

Talk about dropping the value. If you ever have to get rid of them, no boxes will hurt.

SolidLiquidFox

08-30-2006, 03:40 PM

I have been dealing with the box issue as of late.

When you are financially secure throwing boxes is an option since you don't really forsee yourself selling your most cherished pieces. A lot of us who are not so lucky have to keep the boxes because either "life happens" or we gotta fund something cooler down the road.

It's crazy sometimes as attics, garages and friend's houses may be filled with boxes you can't store yourself.
