hello from the midwest region!

[amstel]

Hi I thought I'd better introduce myself on here after joining the first week of January. I wanted to get a feel of this and see if I would continue to be on here. So far I have enjoyed the forums and checking out the latest news about Sideshow Collectibles. I am a late bloomer in the mid 30's. I have been fascinated with the statues from Sideshow for quite a while! I finally caved in! I'm a blue collar female worker, working two jobs and I am busy being my mom's caregiver since my father passed away. She has Alzheimer's which is an ugly disease. Oh by the way I am deaf so if my grammar sucks, have some patience with me please!

Anyway starting a new hobby with Sideshow collectibles brings joy in my life. So far I am a proud owner of Vader and Kenobi mythos, Emperor Palpatine PF and Anakin Skywalker PF ex. Recently I couldn't resist to PO of Cap America PF ex, Red Skull PF ex and 89 Keaton Batman PF ex! Also purchased Batman comic PF ex off Ebay! My first plan was to focus only on SW statues...only to have that plan out the window! Hopefully I will try to stick with SW, Marvel and DC statues.

Now I have a dilemma...we don't have an IKEA store in my area. One is a few hours away. I want to buy a PAX to display my collectibles. Or should I just custom build one similiar to IKEA's PAX?

Thanks!

Good luck with that!

Welcome to the addiction, amstel.

Those are some great pieces, to just be starting out. There is an ikea in Minneapolis, Twin Cities that's the closest I think to you ,take a road trip!! When I go to the Mayo clinic in Rochester I hit that place up. My Mum also had a type of Alzheimer's disease and it horrible, may God be with you .

Being a huge Star Wars fan myself I don't know if you knew this but today they released the new title it's called the " Force Awakens"

looks like you're well on your way to being addicted to this hobby like the rest of us. You picked some great pieces to start your collection.

I agree with Lakhota, time for an IKEA road trip

If you aren't handy and can't make custom cabinets yourself, IKEA is the answer and a quarter of the cost compared to hiring someone to do it for you.
