.:Loot Crate:.

So I’ve acquired many-a-models from Etsy artists. I’ve not narrowed down to 2 artists I’ll use exclusiverly. I had ordered a Inarius model in like April it just came jacked up to all hell. I spent about 3 days fixing it. The wings look horrible but nothing I can do about that unless I get some contour putty and find the exact gold he used…

BUT! and it’s a BIG BUTT! That guy got shut down, and I got a huge full including shipping and tariff refund! So I can’t really complain. Inarius looks outstanding next to one of my favorite artists, who did Lilith for me. Take a peek! They take up a full shelf! That’s Trevor Belmont from Castlevania 3 (NES), My fav. Castlevania game. I mean, Symphony of the Night is amazing too, but I don’t really consider it a CV game due to the fact that there’s no Belmonts.

I know a lot of Loot Crate has been revolving around G & W, well, I’m hell bent on moving and acquiring pieces for my collection and quality items for auctions. Anyway, I found some of the single-game stands from an order I did last year they were in with my USB-C accessories for my Macs. I just got done spending 45 minutes peeling all the paper backing off them. The Mega Man shelf is now in my game room. Along with first runs of classic known to all and played by few board games!

Future posts will revolve around my Board Game Collection. For now, stay tuned for the new layout of shelf 2 of G&W. I still have other stands coming from the same vendor. For the vertical ones that pop open, the cases for those are pretty slick. They fit in like a cartridge in a ColecoVision 🙂

Just some things I’ve been collecting for a while! Quarter Arcades Mini Arcade Cabinets = the New Game & Watch. Speaking of G & W, my shelf overflowith with goodness. I have to move my Megaman / Blue Bomber shelf to the game room/dining room. I have some more G & W stands coming in from Australia as I can’t seem to find a vendor here that does even half the quality and affordability that this vendor does. So enjoy the photos!

Just when I get close to finishing my G & W (Game & Watch) Watch collection something super cool I only saw pictures of and am listed in a book as a supporter that’s due out soon the Quarter Arcade Series by Numskull

In this picture you can see the games operating and YES you can play them all!!! Amazing even the TMNT ones are 4 players! HDMI out and a USB port for play on the big screen if you wanted.

In the back, you’ll see a board game or two from the early 80s, along with its Atari or ColecoVision counterpart! Let’s not forget the lightsbers!!! I think this area is complete. Under the good stuff, there are original board games of Mouse Trap, Operation, and about a dozen more! I’ll be getting my cabinets built that are just like the ones in my closet here, but different heights.

I spent Sept and Oct. so far haggling, wheeling, and dealing for rare and obscure items. I really need to show my office as it stands right now! It’s a mess as I’m wiring up new light boxes from an Etsy vendor I’ve learned to like a lot for the quality of their work, as well as a model builder from 3d prints. They send prime and paint mostly from Turkey! But the darn postal be it USPS, FedEx, UPS, or DHL, everyone is smashing boxes, so be careful and talk to your artist or vendor!
