well i have changed my display up a little bit. with just under 4000 figures i ran out of room long ago so instead of just hanging them on the wall ive now been putting up slat wall so i can hang them 4 deep. with this latest part of the wall done i was able to increase the figure total from 96 to 244 figures for the same space. that means alot more figures out of storage.
anyway i have every hockey figure, minus 5 of them, every two pack and every 12". i now have every standard figure out on display.
heres what it looked like before

Is that really your collection, or did you just stroll into a collector shop and snap some pics? :p

Which 5 are you missing?
I'm going to guess:
3rd jersey Roy
#13 Selanne
Kariya repaint
Amonte repaint
Joseph repaint with logo bottle
:D

I think I am also right about the Kariya and the Amonte as you can not see those 2 pieces on his wall where he has the rest of series 1.
I'm not sure what the 5th figure could be though because he does have a Joseph repaint.......
Maybe he's missing Bruins Bourque too?
Mats_44
02-25-2009, 11:25 AM
Actually I think I figured it out......
where he has NHL 1 hanging there is only 1 figure per slot.
So the 5 he is missing are:
Bruins Bourque
White Yzerman
Kariya Ducks
Amonte Hawks
3rd jersey Roy
I don't think he counts the #13 Selanne as a missing figure and frankly I don't blame him, I don't count it either, it's the only hockey chase figure I don't have but I do have the normal Jets Selanne chase and that's good enough for me.

i dont know much about hockey, but i do know that he normally puts the variant/chase figure or hard to get figure of each series in the front to see....so if those are not on the front pegs then he probably does not have those.

No if he was going for the Wal Mart look then he'd just put a big metal bin in the middle of his room and dump all his figures into it. The Bin of Death!! LOL

And to think of how much more it would be worth if he had the Bourque, Yzerman, Kariya, Amonte and Roy figures that he's missing, which happen to be the most expensive figures that exist in hockey!
I wonder why he doesn't have those 5 figures? Surely it can't be a money thing.......if he is willing to spend all that money on 4000 figures you'd think he would be willing to shell out for the 5 he still needs! :D

you could display more of them if you took them out of the package :D
looks cool though, a bit too store-ish for my taste(hence opener) but still cool
I didn't even know there was a Richter variant

i really cant justify the hundreds of dollars on a figure. if i only collected hockey you can sure bet i would have them. but with all the other sports and non sports items to keep up with its not worth it to me. maybe once sports picks die down ill fill in the gaps. i know baseball and basketball im only missing 2 each. football i need all hemletless besides emmitt and a snowy brady. so i have much catching up to do there. i know im a slacker.

Which still sounds ironic to me when you consider you ARE able to justify buying 4000 figures which let's assume cost $10 each so if my math serves me correctly that's $40,000!!!!
:eek: LOL
Just giving you a hard time bro! :D
