That might be arranged! Thanks for the tip! I tore down the Batman collection as my wife got me these prints from 17th and Oak for Xmas. ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/heroic21/7863593b705ad750f1f7eee5289a79aa.jpg) ---

Added this to the mancave today. Good use of the flubbed up GBfans elbow pad run. ![image](http://www.gbfans.com/images/pb/heroic21/5857856d02714fb542fb1c2d280c3ea7.jpg) ---

Redid the lighting in my display cabinet. Picked up a led strip set at lowes for $50 that changes colors and dances to music. Oh god this thing just changed to my heart and soul of this room.

I bought the other three as a set which is why there is no issue there. It’s a good thing that Ray is my favorite and I have OCD enough to get the correctly sized Ray to complete the collection.

Epic collection man. As someone that’s new to collecting GB, I only have like 4 items and a couple on order, I seen alot of toys there I recognized from my childhood collection. Damn my mother for making me give to goodwill. Hope to rival your collection someday, looking at yours though, that won’t be for a good 10-15 years of solid collecting. Props man. ---

Thanks and for what it is worth, it took me only 2-3 years of collecting to get here. Just piece by piece. The most important thing is to have rules as well. I try not to have duplicates of things as it takes up useful space. I also like the movies more than the cartoons so RGB makes up a small part of my collection other than what I fondly remember as a kid or what I wanted but never got. Of course this leads me to the “I am almost there so just complete it” phase. ---

Only 2-3 years? Did I say props man? Because seriously props man. I’ve started with a ‘tools of the GB’ retro poster set & I’ve ordered neon no ghost light and stay puft bank. I’ll have to post some pics in a couple months when it’s large enough to not be embarassing. ---

Still trying to find the Sniffer 300 as well as the Beckman Electrode Model G to go down here. Those would look great on the bar that is being built in the coming months. The best reaction was when I was moving in here and had the [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) put on the wall. Everything else was packed away and I had just put the green stripes and brass coatings on the poles. I had DirecTV installers come and hook up my TVs and they stepped down here and I was asked what the hell the big box on the wall was. I told them it keeps my cockroaches out of that room. Then we talked about what it really was and they were super stoked. They had to call into the Customer Support Center for DirecTV and name the rooms that the receivers were in and that is where the lame name of “ECTO MAN CAVE” came from. They also tossed in a “Who ya gonna call?” to the CC operator. > [@Alex Newborn](#): > > > [@Heroic35](#): > > > > ![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/7/0/7062ee9e568f9c99b987674d2df867be85a58add.jpeg) > > Stay-Puft’s face is all smoothe.

This little guy was the stress reliever version that was a premium for pre-ordering the GB:TVG. I have two versions of him. One in the mesh netting and the other out of it. I was the only one to pre-order it from Movie Gallery in my small town (prior to GameStop moving in a few years later) and they just gave me all the Stay Pufts that they were shipped. Kinda neat. I did a small lighting update today to replace really crappy options with white Christmas lights. Now the GB 12" figures get proper lighting as my cabinet did. I bought 12" expansion LED bars for the system that controls my display cabinet so both displays will dance to music and change colors if I want or I can just keep them lit up with whatever I feel like. I do enjoy the green. 🙂 Also while I was at Lowe’s, I grabbed more caution tape to decorate the sides of the display to add a bit more of the GB effect. For anyone looking to do this option, here is what I am using from Lowe’s. It can be found in the aisle where they keep ceiling fan options. **Cyron Lighting Plug-In Cabinet LED Light Bar Kit:** [http://www.lowes.com/pd\_696-24994-HTP904E\_0\_\_?productId=3316942&Ntt=led+bar+light&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dled%2Bbar%2Blight&facetInfo=](http://www.lowes.com/pd_696-24994-HTP904E_0__?productId=3316942&Ntt=led+bar+light&pl=1¤tURL=%3FNtt%3Dled%2Bbar%2Blight&facetInfo=) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/f/5/f5f7817bfb079e787da091cd6a9c0e4db2729a20.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/fcff243a7085bee5494170ffaf2c894d.jpg.html) [![image](https://discdn.gbfans.com/original/3X/a/0/a0421c54c8c13d307d76c09df69dec387ab25ea0.jpeg)](http://s236.photobucket.com/user/heroic21/media/b1326ba473ecfc5145265780ce589747.jpg.html) And I also added two loose [Screaming Heroes](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/toys/kenner/real-ghostbusters-screaming-heroes) of Janine and Peter to the RGB bottom shelf but nothing really worth taking a photo of until I add more to it. ---
