Alrighty, here it is! The first half of my collection update. They're not the best pictures, just really aiming to highlight differences and growth. Had a few disasters in the rearrangement of shelves thanks to some poor decisions I'll touch more on in the next part, but thankfully nothing is broken and I'm happy with the end result.

Star Wars

The Star Wars shelves have actually grown the least, I believe. More books supplanted space that was occupied by movies, but figures... not so much. And I'm a little bummed by that. I almost entirely blame Hasbro's horrendous distribution of the Black Series for not helping (my stores, and most, are stuck on wave 3 clogging shelves still... we just hit wave 7... and the past few ones have only shown up in drug stores... so it's partly on stores too of course). A few of the releases I've missed out on I'm not too considered about, though, thanks to Bandai Tamashii Nations and their S.H. Figuarts line now tackling Star Wars in what should be a pretty appropriate scale to mesh well with Hasbro's efforts.

Transformers

Oh goodness, Transformers. One of the two reasons I had to buy new bookshelves and they're taking up literally half of the new ones. Even then... I ran out of room on one already. I was aiming for a split of "Generations" Bots and Cons to one side and miscellaneous on the other, but that may have to be changed very shortly. Although I guess I do need to find a use for those short bottom shelves I didn't quite figure out what to do with. Because of the combiners, I needed a lot of space (and as that line just started and is continuing for two years... haha I'll be needing more.), yet didn't think much looked very good in the short bottom shelf that left. They'll probably expand in greater quantity there soon.

I did a lot of catching up last year that caused this growth. A lot. I have been pretty pleased with most things I picked up at least.

My four Masterpiece figures are a literally huge addition as well. In fact, they're currently on my mantle in the living room to themselves. Granted, not like in the picture as I moved stuff around to isolate them, but they're there. Oh how I wish I had been able to start collecting them sooner. They're just so fantastic.

Anime

Lastly, we have the anime shelves. In general, this one hasn't expanded too much either, but I'm fine with that. Definitely still cherry picking what I pick up here.

A benefit of the expansion was allowing these guys to be spread out more across two shelves. So I also threw in the Digimon there - who were with game characters before given they were of the D-arts line. I decided that, as I see them as their anime counterparts, they belonged here more. There's not really any rhyme nor reason to who went where; I wish I had been able to come up with some better display for them.
