Default What do you do with your Meat Loaf collections?!

As the title says really..!

Over the years I'm sure we've all built up pretty good Meat Loaf collections, some bits are quite common, some very rare, some personal with memories attached to them...so what does everyone do with their ML merchandise?!

I adore my Meat Loaf collection and I daren't even consider how much money has gone into it, but I look around and it's all stored away I've got stunning artwork posters that live in the tubes they arrived in, rare vinyls that live in a box, concert t-shirts are in a zip-up bag under the bed. I'd love to have it all on show to appreciate what I have but I'd be running the risk of turning the house into a Meat Loaf exhibition which I think is a little much

So how do people keep their collections? Any interesting ways of displaying your favourite items?!

One bedroom, used as an office, is my "display area", with a few photos, posters and picture discs all framed.

Other than that, anything flat is in a big folder and the rest is in the loft in a box.

I was hoping to insulate the outside of the house with beermats but I lost out on that auction

Dave promise me you'll never leave here!

Andy and I have decided we need to win the lottery so we can have a Meat Loaf room to actually enjoy all the stuff we spend money on, such a shame to have things in boxes

I wanna see some pics too people!

Be warned ... this is a family forum, so photos of how your Meat Loaf condom is used could result in a ban!

Well from photos I've posted in my blog area etc.... are sited in my bedroom. Nothing is allowed downstairs!

I have an office cupboard which stores away all my ML CD's and DVD's/VHS, a cd starge case too with some in and posters and other realated items are on the walls. I only have framed photos up - looks neater and more eye catching (apart from the huge posters I have which cant fit in frames )

Oh and yes, you've prob been waiting to hear it, the beer mats are on the bedroom wall , with many left over in a box in the cupboard...

Then I have my ML Car (which I got some time ago from a complete bargin!!) and Truck which lives ontop of my PA Speakers.

Mind you though, I must get that signed photo you got in the meet n greet out of the envolope (which by the way the envolopeI had signed for my mum by Paul) and into a frame - next ebay purchase

Everyone thinks I'm mad, but I see it as; "If ya got it, show it"

I'm not really into the whole merchandise thing. So my collection mostly consists of vinyl (those Expedit cases from Ikea are great for storing LPs) and CDs (a year and a half after I moved to my new apartment, most are still in the box I moved them in).

Apart from that, I got one Bat II poster, some shirts (in the closet with even more shirts), two tour scarfs (from the Bat & Dead Ringer tours, and I think I know where they probably are) and a Bat III litho which is acting as a place holder until I find the right thing for that spot.

My books and vinals etc are put away in a book case, posters are in the cylinders they arrived in under the bed and the t-shirts are in the draw. I have my DVD and CD's out on display for easy access;

I've solved the problem of space quite nicely...I gave away every little collectible thing I've owned except for a few items are still packed away somewhere and it's a question whether they still exist.

However...while all multiple CD's are stored neatly in the cabinet...or not so neatly on the living room thingie...ML CD's together with a few others are all in the kitchen piled up high on the counter...that's where I listen to music...and what's the use of putting this stuff away...as soon as I put it neatly away I pull it out again...

All the walls of my flat are full of Meat/Jim promo posters, exept for one wall that holds all the vinyls. CD's/DVD's and other stuff is stored in a prominently placed cupboard. At the moment I'm waiting for a huge load of stuff that's gonna go onto the wall as well.
I'll see if I can take some pics.

All the several pieces of clothing are stored away though.

Do you nail vinyls to the wall or use screws?

I use poster strips (dont know if theyre called the same over there) they work perfectly, as you can remove them easily and they dont leave any remains on the disc.

I'm not really a collector. I'm more interestered in what Meat Loaf does (e.g. music, movies) than in merchandise stuff. The only items I collect are rare records. When it comes to souvenirs, I predominantly own a few things I have a personal attachment to. I'm not interested in buying tons of stuff via eBay to turn my home into a Meat Loaf shrine.
