Collectables Board/Sub-Board and/or Toys Board/Sub

[LinksFan]

(This is me doing my bit to become an active member of this soceity again )

This thread is basically my... My... Word... What's the word... Pitch! This thread is basically my pitch into why there should be a Collectable Board/Sub-Board (probably sub-board) and/or a Toys Board/Sub-Board (probably board).

Why a Collectables Board?

I know a lot of you out there like to collect things, be them games, consoles, or even toys (I myself have a few mint condition toy cars from a company which shut down twenty years ago lol). Now, I may be alone, but I would quite like to see a board where we can discuss our collectables and, if any member finds an item one of us may like, they can post a link (probably eBay ) so anyone interested can fight for it.

Why a Toys Board?

Well, I myself grew up with toys, as did everyone! Yes, they may be taking a backseat to your Wii, but they may still be there! For example, I was looking through a big box of Lego (yes, remember Lego?) and I found a hell-load of Lego Technik Bionicle models! My God!, I thought. I hadn't seen them for years. Now, I've begun collecting mint condition ones (the first set where released 2001, I have mint condition Matoran (all), Rahi (all released kinds, and have attempted the others) and Toa Mata (all), and all 48 Great Kanohi Masks, all 36 Noble Kanohi Masks, and the Kanohi Vahi. That may mean nothing to you, but to me it means that if I sell 'em, I am LOADED! (Yes, that goes in collectables...)
Toys! TOYS! Lego, Playdoh, Polly Pocket, everything! Toys ruled the pre-Nintendo/Microsoft/Sony era in our lives. Let us have a board to honour them!

Incidentally, I have been told that if I take pictures of the boxes or packets that my Bionicle sets are in, it will diminish the value (the plastic or cardboard that the packaging was made of is sensitive to bright light), so I am afraid no piccies until I find a camera with no flash... (My family are all pre-nonflash era )

That is my Pitch, I hope youtake it on board! Cheers!

Just gotta wait to see what Ramirez says about this when he returns. I'm kinda unsure, to be honest. I can see the Collectables board working more than the Toys one, though.

[DeathAngel]

WTF?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

The collectables thing can pretty much just be a thread in the boards we have... Like that Maiden thing Wolfgang,Ram and Seph were doing lmao. I'm sure a collectables thread can be easily added to the other boards if needs be. Meh just seems liek tacking on a board when it could be more consisce. (Can't effin spell today, I know).

as for toys... Hmmm... ;D

[laguna]

hey, i think the collectables board would be great! but couldnt you just merge the toys board and collectables together? i mean you said yourself that you had most of the bionicle, so isn't that a collection in its self? just a thought

[LinksFan]

Yeh, I'm deciding on just wanting a collectables board if SOMEONE *coughRamcoughRandcough* WOULD GIVE THEIR VIEWS!

Yes, I know they're all away

[BlueRose]

Hmmm... It's an alright idea I suppose, but Im going to agree with DeathAngel, like about posting threads in the right area. Rami has eough boards I thinkies, but thats just what I think ^^

I'll try and push him to come and read this thread, seeing as it is half term he should atleast have 5 minutes spare lol ^^""

Sorry for being so late getting round to this. ^_^;;

Anyhow... While I think its a nice enough idea it just seems slightly redundant. As DA and BR mentioned you could easily create a collectables topic in one of the many boards we already have. For instance, there is one in gaming already right that UM made? You could create one in films for DVDs you own. For music a topic can be made for CDs you own, i mean there is an Iron Maiden one I am aware of. I'm sure you can fit in somehow.

I would like to add it but again there is also the problem of too many boards cluttering the place. We already have a large number of boards which cover pretty much everything... So i'm afraid I am going to have to disagree with the idea. Sorry, but thanks for suggesting anyways.

[LinksFan]

Lol kk ^^ that's fine

[Kefka]

Discussion... Over I suppose?

Locked.
