The storage and display of vintage action figures | @Squidoo

The storage and display of vintage action figures:

"Dust, sunlight, fluctuating temperatures and humidity are all potential dangers for your collection.

Store collectibles in As a general rule, store your collection within the house, in cupboard or wardrobe spaces, "...therefore, it's better to avoid the two places that most readily spring to mind when one thinks about storage - the attic or the basement, as these are the areas in the home that suffer most from extremes of temperature and damp.

I usually keep a dozen or so figures safely on display in Protech cases and will rotate them for a change from time to time, but the bulk of my collection is carefully stored away in Ziploc bags within PP storage boxes. This lens takes a closer look at these methods and the other, surprisingly affordable vintage action figure storage and display solutions available."

What is an ebook?

What is the Kindle Fire Color eReader?

Amplify’d from www.squidoo.com
Entire books are stored electronically that can be downloaded and viewed on electronic book readers or "eReader". And now, ebooks can be rented from the library, and magazines can be viewed in full color on a lightweight device that s more than half the price of an Apple iPad.

Phoenix rising from the Fire

This is the one we've been waiting for - Kindle in color!

What is the Kindle Fire? Amazon is in the market of making eReaders - electronic book readers that can download hundreds of free books and current best-sellers.

The Fire is the only Kindle with Amazon Silk, so you can surf the net and watch YouTube or check Facebook. Web pages load fast with dual-processing over the cloud network. You can watch Abode Flash applications with Silk for an engaging experience with multi-media websites (Apple iThings do not play Flash software). That alone is one of the best reasons to buy the Kindle Fire.

Fire has double the amount of memory as the other Kindle models (8GB total) so you can store apps, movies, music and books. But who needs storage when there's the Cloud? It's free to store any digital product purchased at Amazon for a wireless reading device on the Cloud Drive.

Dragon Shield Deck Protectors review : There Be Dragons! | The Hobby Blog

There Be Dragons! The Hobby Blog:

In a slight detour from the normal toy soldier theme, I thought I’d share my experiences about card protectors. Card what I hear you say!?!

Well, Warmachine uses trading card sized stat cards. On these damage (and other things) are marked off during the game. Great, except you will want to use this stat cards for more than one game.

The obvious solution to this is to encase the card in clear plastic and use a drywipe marker to mark off damage so the cards can be reused.

Nimbus Frames Protect Nimble Collectibles | Independent Retailer

Nimbus Frames Protect Nimble Collectibles | Independent Retailer:

"20 percent of Americans collect some item or other. Whether a collector of stamps, coins, medals, banknotes or other objects, the primary duty of a collector is to safeguard the objects that may have monetary, personal or cultural significance. A collector’s passion is to collect objects and preserve or enhance a collectible’s value, while frequently finding joy in showing it off."

The Nimbus Frame, Lindner’s newest display and storage product, was originally conceptualized as a jewelry display, but quickly proved its worth in storing and protecting almost any collection. Patterson details the collection system, saying, “The design is a pressed wood frame that comes in eight sizes and shapes, each held together with the magnetic closure.” The selling point of the collection system, however, is its silicone membrane screen, holding the collectible in place. As Lindner’s website describes these screens, “The special feature of these frames are two transparent, flexible silicone membranes, which surround your exhibition items softly and create the impression that they levitate inside the frame.”
