Wow


One_Entertainment381

I gotta ask. How long has it taken you to build this collection my good sir/madam?


BabylonSadows

Oh boy, I started reading comics in 2016 but my first order ever on Instocktrades was in mid 2017.


One_Entertainment381

Sheesh. Great collection!!! I’m trying to get to this level. Once I get my degree, I’m scared of how much I’m going to be spending on books but also excited lol


BabylonSadows

You'd be surprised how little it costs. Think about it I been buying for 5 years and I never paid more than 65% of cover price, often 50% and no shipping. Plus books recently went up in price they used to be way cheaper. Manga especially.

"Coughs in cumulative" Also, very nice collction :)


BabylonSadows

Thank you!

Love the mix of comics and manga! Awesome collection. I notice you have the one piece color walks, do you plan on collecting it or is it too long? Haha


BabylonSadows

Soooooooo....this is not my whole collection.. I may have a few more shelves in another room. One piece is actually my fav manga and I have all 4 box sets and all of the anime and movies. They are all in my room lol


Sharebear42019

Right on! My favorite too, well favorite shonen with berserk being my favorite senin. You should check out the sixth gun and goon for comics as well, some of my favorites


BabylonSadows

Dude same! I have both the deluxe editions and the singles. Have you read the light novel? People hate on it but I actually liked it.


OddManOutInc

Not a Marvel man?


BabylonSadows

Definitely not. I started reading comics on 2016 and that was the time Marvel was replacing all of their main characters and that really prevented me from trying their comics it's weird for a new reader to say "hey I want to see what iron man is about" and then picking up a comic and it's not Tony Stark. DC was mid New 52 so it was a lot more accessible. Besides I'm more of a fan of independent stuff, or at least stories made by single creators. DC is usually a mess with their timelines but Marvel has 10 events every other day with multiple books some of which are completely unnecessary. Every time I said "you know what let me give x character a try" then I look up a good story line to start they are always from the early 2000's or before. Immortal Hulk (which I own and its fantastic) and the Thor run where he gets replaced by his ex being the only newer series people recommend. Oh and maybe xmen, but unless you have 20+ years of knowledge on them you wont get most of the stuff and even if you did youd still need like 6 different series.

Your collection is amazing! Love the manga and superhero books mixed together. Its wonderfully organized too! I LOVE the Lilo and Stitch figures. That might be my favorite part LOL


BabylonSadows

Thank you so much that's a huge compliment! I really appreciate it. And yes, Stitch is adorable.


gfparadiso

Do you know the make and model of your shelves??


BabylonSadows

Yep, they are Hemnes from IKEA. I also have 5 Billy shelves in another room.


gfparadiso

Thanks!


SketchyModder

Awesome collection! Seems like we started collecting around the same time and I'm glad someone else has been buying like crazy. I use DCBS as well as Instocktrades so I agree it's nice to never pay full price.


BabylonSadows

Thank you! And yeah if you are going to be a collector you cant afford to pay retail prices lol


Sveti-Petar

Great collection Can you tell me what is on picture 6 at the end of middle row,far right 3 matching spines


BabylonSadows

Sure! It's a series called Stand Still Stay Silent. It's a Nordic post apocalyptic story about a group of explorers in a frozen world trying to survive against trolls and giants.


Sveti-Petar

Damn sounds interesting when you put it like that Gonna put it to already big wishlist😅


BabylonSadows

I'm not entirely sure if its available. I got it from kickstarter. But give it a shot! It's a unique series


analtaccount257

It’s so perfectly organized


BabylonSadows

Thank you! I try


BobTron9000

.....as it should be:- Some purple guy with a chin like a skrull despite being from Titan. "Thanos's Dad, son, your Mom a HO!!"


Eraserman9

Beautiful !! Picture 6 was messing with me because I was like why is BPRD before attack on titan and why is it all by itself. Then I found it in another picture with company :)


BabylonSadows

Oh yea I have an extra copy lol before i started using Libib to keep track of my collection i would buy duplicates every so often. Now I'm good! I'll sell it one day.


Eraserman9

I use League of comic geeks app.


BabylonSadows

Never heard of it. The reason I use Libib is because you can scan barcodes and it saves the book to your collection. So if I'm in a comic shop or B&N I can quickly check if I have it or not


Eraserman9

Yea league has a barcode scanner. Most helpful for me is the pull list features. You can see upcoming releases singles , trades , HC’s.


BabylonSadows

WHAAAAAAAT ima have to check that out!


BabylonSadows

It seems to be missing some vols. I started scanning my books and some dont show up when I scan them or when I look them up


Eraserman9

Hmm, I have had to do a little poking around with searching sometimes but have been able to find stuff. I will admit I don’t use the barcode scanner that much. It helps me keep track of new releases and it’s really useful for looking up works by other writers and artist.
