Rip Dan. Last seen on the floor under his toys. Ehhh we'll find him eventually. :P

This is a perfect example of why I'm suuuuuuuuuuper picky about what I collect. Chaos on this scale would drive me nuts.

Let's try this again... It's been a while, so here we go. Even though it's incredibly embarrassing, I've decided to show off the current state of my toy room! My collection is a disaster, so I plan to make this the first part in my journey to cleaning and organizing both my toy room and studio! Please don't judge me too harshly. I hope you enjoy!

You can do this Danny boy, we believe in you. Start with baby steps, and before you know it, you've got some tangible progress.

I totally get it. I've been in the same predicament (especially since my kids) Once you organize it you'll feel 100% better. 👊 for showing us it though. I just hide my mess like cat burying it's turd 💩

Good luck clearing it all up Dan! I look forward to watching your progress. My room is a real mess too as its full of boxes with my collection in. I hope to sort it out in the new year and finally get some shelving up so I can actually display my toys.

I'm Glad You Did This Dan. I Pulled My Collection To Put Up New Shelves And Haven't Been Motivated To Put Everything Back. It's Good To See It's Not Just Me.

The Journey to Organization series is a great idea!! The OCD in me loves to see the process of getting your collection back on track. Supporting you all the way Pixel Dan!!

This video puts a smile on my face! No need to be embarrassed.. I love how much you love toys! :)

Hey, thank you for making this video. I was working on a video like this to show how while toy reviewing and collecting as a KZfaqr is fun, there is an absolute dark side and space is a constant issue. I never got around to actually completing my mini documentary but I'm glad you are doing it. It makes me glad that I'm not alone with this issue and that I too can change my ways.

know your pain man. The hardest part for me when I'm in that situation is figuring out where and how to start. Its always overwhelming. Look forward to seeing your journey through it!

Best wishes for your organizing! We've got similar problems, a couple of days ago we've found out that some cool and special toys from our collection got totally spoiled just for having been sitting in a box for years. We wish you to find some time to enjoy your toys!

Your collection is great. I love the diversity! I can totally relate to the stress of having your figures in disarray. Good luck man

Often times 'Less is More.' I have to remind myself of that. Thanks for the videos.

Thanks for the tour Dan. Keep up the great work. You are one of the few collectors that are truly doing it for the love of the toys.

Chaos? More like heaven! Toys everywhere you look! I can't wait if you make this into a series, I love collection videos, plus I have an itch to clean stuff. lol Keep up the great work Pixel Dan!

Makes me feel better knowing that I'm not the only one who's toy room is in disarray. lol Those complete Super Naturals Dark Dragon, Lion Wings, and Tomb of Doom got me a little jealous. Great video!

I see this as a great challenge for yourself that I do all the time because I don't have a set room for my smaller collection. Biggest thing would be to start cataloging and storing for your future move. It will be so great when you start making dents into that goal. Love to see how this progresses.

Really enjoyed watching this, you have so many wonderful pieces. I actually prefer seeing "lived in" collections rather than seeing everything perfect and untouched. Always wondered what your collection looked like, and it doesn't disappoint!

I started with a similar problem on a slightly smaller scale a couple years ago So I opened a store and it's been fantastic! I get to own all the toys, play with them and enjoy them for a while then sell them and get new ones without it becoming a problem! Best part is I got toeave my old job and do it full time now!

Loved watching this, looking forward to more. Goodluck sorting out all the figures and organizing your toy collection Dan, you will feel great when it's done, it always feels bad in the start. Making it into a videoseries is a good way to find time for both things, i am all for it buddy :)

great video man!!! you have an amazing collection! don't get to overwhelmed bc organizing is part of the fun of collecting! we rediscover things when we organize too!!

I've been there, and it's challenging but worth it in the end. Sort, sell, and stow until you know. Pick what you wan to display, and store other items. You can recycle your displays occassionally, change up the themes, and still get to enjoy it all. Empty your room, purchase and install some nice display cases, shelving, lighting, and put it all back while trying to resist the urge to cluttering it up again. Space things out, and enjoy! Lookin forward to seeing your progress. You can do it!!

Amazing collection Dan, this was really fun to watch.

Wow Dan, I have been going through a very similar situation. I have been collecting for many years now, and thanks to you have been inspired to start my own toy review channel this year. The problem has been that even though I have a nice shelving set up, I live in an apartment so space is limited. And my time for displaying figures, had gone to nil due to family, full time job, and the ever-growing collection of toys. Awesome figures I've wanted to review/display just piled up and piled up. I had enough and wanted my place to look presentable again lol. So over the past week I have been doing a big overhaul of my collection: rotating collections, storing lots of stuff, making a group I plan to sell, etc... and IT IS therapy Dan. Even though I am not finished displaying all of my collection yet, it looks a heck of a lot better, and I feel great about finally doing something about what's been hanging over my head for the past year. So hang in there Dan. Thank you so much for showing this video. I am comforted knowing I am not alone out there. I'll let you know when I've posted my collection video, if you have time to check it out. But as always, thanks for the content. And best of luck with everything Dan. Happy New Year to you and your lovely family.

Thanks for sharing. I can feel your pain we just moved and our collection looked just like that. One shelf at a time and it will get organized in no time. Great video

1st of all, thanks for making yourself so vulnerable to show us your collection room... 2nd, dont be embarrassed by that at all... your not the only person that has a collection room that looks this way (not saying i do, but i just know that your not the only one)... u have a collection that many people would give ANYTHING to have, and i have to admit, it is a pretty epic collection... i know its easy said than done, but just a little bit at a time goes a long way... i know its easy to look at the whole picture and get overwhelmed, but if u just spend 5-10 mins a day organizing or putting some of them away, u will have them situated in no time at all... thanks again for sharing your amazing collection with us and having the guts to share this video with all of us... i hope u and your family have a safe and super Happy New Year... thanks for all the fun videos Dan and Stina!!!

Thank you, Dan...your intro was sincerely inspiring. You are so brave. You make me want to set goals, get organized, and start sharing. I'm such a hermit! Kw

Had to rewatch the video after the reupload to see if not only the audio is fixt but if Dan also cleaned up the room. I'm glad he is holding up to my expectations and didn't. Seeing all this toys scattered all across the floor makes it even more relatable for my childhood nostalgia.

Awesome vid, thanks for doing this it motivated me to start doing the same and cleaning up my rooms as well. I have three small rooms that I use to display various collections and all three have gotten out of hand, so believe me I understand what you're saying about it being stressful just looking at the clutter. Maybe all us collectors who have fallen behind can use these videos as motivation to also organize our collections better collaboratively.

Thank you for posting this one. It's actually kind of an important video for many other toy collecting fans who experience the same problems you are going though. No judgment from here and good luck with the organization process.

Iam in the same boat! I've had my collection packed up this past year in anticipation for my move where I will have the entire lower level of our new house to display. I have picked up a few glass display cases and am picking up an ikea curio Sunday, my main plan is to unbox most everything and save boxes from mezcos and imports. I've never had my collection on display so I am excited

Hi Dan! thanks for the tour. All the best for 2017 and your future projects!

Awesome collection and video. Thanks for sharing. Collecting is certainly a labor of love. I am currently running out of room for my 6 inch black series collection. Of course, I try to get them all. Hopefully I'll see you at Toyman if you are there thinning out some of your collection. Happy New year and keep the cool videos coming.

Man, I know the feeling of that. I'm running out of room for my figures too in my room. I don't have a place for my Titans Return Fortress Maximus, so he stands on the floor in my room to the side a bit. I need to get in there one of these days and properly organize things, thin the collection out of some of the stuff I no longer hold an interest in, and in general, just get things organized. Hope your journey goes well, and that you don't have any heart break in the process. (That is, none of the figures that fell down got broken from the fall hopefully. Only one way to find out.)

I feel your pain! I have toys everywhere too! It is fun, but collecting is also a LOT OF WORK! Can't wait to see how everything comes together! Good Luck Buddy!

Wow, such a nice collection. Well organized too! :Thumbs up!!!

I always love seeing your toy collection! You have so many of my grails, especially in your tmnt section.

Good luck with the organizing. I look forward to seeing future updates. Happy collecting.

The gold and silver DC/MARVEL toy lines were just the best.

Thanks for doing this. Loved seeing this. Great stuff.

WOW. Man, pixel Dan. I would LOVE to help you clean and organize what you have. I enjoy doing that.

thanks Dan, great video, your room brings back a lot of memories from some of the toys I had as a kid, I wish I still had them all, they were played with and broken or lost oh well that's life!! your messy room doesn't bother me one bit!

You can do it, Dan! Categorize, Organize and Prioritize, brother! Wishing you success in your quest to control the mess!

great video Dan. it will look awesome when it's finished. keep up the good work and looking forward to your next video.

Totally going to follow this series!

Anxiety can be a real jerk. It can turn things we love into sources of stress. Don't feel bad for being human, man. Just remember take it one day at a time. Every time you walk by, just tidy up one small thing. Eventually it gets done. But I think you have that part figured out. Hope you get the room sorted and can find happiness in your toy room once again.

Sounds like music from Toy Galaxy's videos is playing

Great video, you have so many cool things , good luck on sorting through it all, you have very little star wars on display, I was surprised by that, always enjoy your reviews, cheers!

Videos like this are a wake-up call for me... I started collecting last year and I am already trying to put the breaks on things so my collection doesnt turn into my clutter

Watch my Man Pixel D representing his toy passion to the fullest. Hes keeping it 100 and putting his money where his mouth is. Pixel D is keeping it real and hustling all day every day. Word is bond.

I've been doing a huge clutter-cleaning project myself for some time now. I started a website as a side project in the same way you plan to use these videos, to get myself to keep at it. ("I need an article to write this week. I must clean something!") And while I still have a long way to go I'm in much better shape than I was when I started the project. I wish you good luck.

Still cool to see all those toys pixel Dan. Also I like the idea of this new series. most of my toys aren't on display though I keep getting more toys. ugghh I need to take time to clean and organize it one day.

It's chaotically beautiful!

Not embarrassing at all. We all know how busy you are. This was a really nice video. It felt like hanging out with you in your 'Pixel Dan' room for a bit while you show us your toys.

I am absolutely flabbergasted when I saw how much you collected! I gotta agree with you with some of your figures needing to be organized and some figures not needed. In fact, I am trying to at least sell some of my figures that I really have no real attachments to. I like to collect action figures of my favorite characters, but I have to restrain myself due to money.

Watching this and hoping it'll motivate me to organise my own toy room! I've got some new shelves coming soon and I'm dreading making space for them - I've got stuff stacked on the floor just like you! Your collection is amazing. =)

I'm so glad you did this video because I don't feel alone in my shame of having a messing toy room.

Awesome collection and awesome video even though it made me shed a tear when I thought about all the cool vintage He Man and Star wars toys I had as a kid, toys that were sold off years ago.....

hey Dan that's not bad that's a sign of an epic collection hard to manage but so worth it

love this video a toy collector surrounded by his toys pure joy.

Hey, Pixel Dan! Hope you and your family did well during Christmas. I just wanted to send some encouragement your way. Your videos are great and love setting down after a stressful day at work and just watching your videos. Also I am excited to see what is coming for reviews when I see just a glimpse of possibilities. You are my favorite on you tube. We have some similar interest in turtles and love your reviews on them. As I was looking at your room. It may be possible to put some more shelving or cases to the ceiling in the center. There may be a possibility for two more rows. These may alleviate the trouble on the floor. Just a suggestion and nothing else. Great videos, great reviews and always kid friendly! Keep your head up and hope everything works out well for you!

Finally had some time to watch this. What a brave video.

ha ha, I feel bad at the end when you just sat there looking around. I know that feeling, my toy room wasn't great before Christmas, but I dumped stuff in there before company came over. Did a little clean up tonight.. When I was a kid my friend Derek would invite me over when he had to clean his room because he knew I would have fun picking up his action figures and putting them back on the shelves and GIJoe Terrordrome playset in his room.

Looking forward to this series of videos!!!

Finally someone who says "sorry for the mess" and it REALLY is messy! =D As someone who frequently has a mess myself I find it irritating when someone says "Omigosh sorry for all this mess" and you can tell they've pretty much run a floor polisher on all surfaces. A coffee table book lying on a table at an angle is not a mess. They did that on purpose and they know it. =P

I feel your pain, Dan. I have the same problem and have tried so hard to organize. Packed up between a dozen to 20 large totes full of stuff and my toy room is still a dump. Might be time to let some of it go to a new home...maybe you can take the money from anything you can sell and put it into a college fund for your son? I know it's hard to let stuff go, but you can't take it with you when you die. Sucks to downsize a collection but you might be happier for it. Good luck, anxious to see some progress.

Really cool video it’s always fun to see your collection thank you

I am moving soon to a house instead of being a roommate my toy/plush collection is almost crippling how bad it is. I think as collectors we have to decide what we want to collect and stick with it and sell the rest. It's hard I know I'm going to have to get rid of a lot when I move out. I sometimes feel like the clutter closes in it's almost claustrophobic. I can feel what your saying long story short. I hope you the best and stay strong.

It feels like you still barely just moved in this place somehow, like the toy room was just starting to get together. Man, you are right, stress like this is the last thing you should be getting out of this. Maybe the new place at some point will give you even more room and it will make things a lot easier. This video series is a great idea and yeah, when you collect, you definitely shouldn't be afraid of getting rid of some stuff to make room for some new stuff. Just taking things one step at a time, little by little, and you'll be fine. Good luck on this new journey man!

Such a fun video dude! Wish I could find that First Turtle for my turtle collection!

I've been where you're at. I bought some storage units for my problem LOL. Awesome collection BTW! 👊💥

WOW! I wish I could see you collection in person.

I sympathize! I have clutter from my collection too. Don't feel too bad. But you made a great first step by admitting you have a problem. Hope to see a upcoming video where this is better. Use your upcoming move to start over. Just focus on packing for right now

Thanks for sharing, Dan!

lmao. Looks like my toy room did a month ago. been in my new house for 3 months and still am not done setting up my nerd cave. I used the same shelving system. it's super easy to set up and very effective. thanks for sharing.

bow to your awesomeness, nothing here to be embarrassed about

My advice? I'd go to Walmart, get 5 or 6 of those large blue storage boxes and line them up on one side. Start on one corner floor and start tossing the figures in the boxes and try to sort it out somewhat. Keep going until you get the floor cleared and the boxes full. That's an instant change that should motivate you more. Then, I would go to the shelves and if you're keeping them there, get the figures all standing. Once you get the shelves done, you can go back through the boxes and start to put them up as well. The boxes should serve you in the future as well. You can put all the stuff you're reviewing until you have the time to put them up. Or start storing some of the figures in the boxes as well.

Selling all this stuff on eBay and going section by section would provide non stop income for at least a year or more.

Holy crap! Dan, this is like my dream room (except for the chaos), awesome stuff. If I may come with a suggestion, you should get some deeper shelves to get those bigger things off the floor and to a better display height and keep your bins beneath that and maybe some backdrops instead of the white wall. I do the exact opposite, I open my stuff and everything I don't have room for in the shelves goes in bins and are put into storage. Need to look through that stuff at some point because I have no idea what I have there... I know that look at 26:15 I know it all to well :-P Looking forward to your progress!!!

That toy room is the size of my entire apartment

I appreciate your channel, Pixel Dan. :)

Your vintage motu collection is clearly taking up needed space for your tmnt toys. I'd be glad to help you with those! Lol Awesome Video Sir & good luck with the organizing!

I would love to organize all of that for you. Then set up a system so it doesnt happen again, it's as easy as having a place for everything, and the minute you finish reviewing, or playing with something, you put it in its place. No mess ever again.

Awesome idea! You can do it Dan!

At least you know you have an awesome problem lol!

You have a big collection and a lot of you toys are awesome

We definitely have to work on this room Pixel Dan. The display is half the battle. Cheering for ya.

Yay, I wished for a toy room tour for Christmas and got it!!! Sorry your room isn't in great shape right now. It's good to have long-term goals, though, amirite?? :)

Im in the process of house-buying, and its going to feel great to finally after near a decade, break my collection out of persistent storage. I sometimes buy something twice because I didn't remember I had it in the first place! And not always a cheap item too. >< One thing I'd recommend, is in your next home, making sure you get a 9 ft basement. I couldn't afford a finished basement and will have to do it later, but made sure they put it in at 9 ft to maximize space when its finally done so it feels like any floor of the house instead of a cramped basement. You have a great collection and stuff like the Troll Force and Amicable Herculean are definitely showcase-worthy conversation items that should be on display for everyone to check out. My uncle had a friend who managed some Kay-Bee Toy stores, so when some closed, he was able to get some counter top display cases that really helped him not only with space, but making his displays look good. Sometimes a piece of glass can make all the difference between collection and clutter.

the chaos.... it's beautiful 😢

Cant wait to see more awesome collection

wow. that an awesome toy collection!

I can't wait to see the outcome.

I'm currently sorting my collection and have found plastic tubs to be very handy, put each figure in a baggie then organise into tubs which can be stacked and stored (and mark the tub so it makes it easier to find later) I'm selling a lot of my collection as it has just become too much of a hindrance than a hobby

Amazing stuff!

Wow cool stuff Pixel Dan.

Great video. I need to organize my toy collection room too

IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG !!!

you've nailed it on the head about collecting. my room is over following and is no longer any fun. not sure what to do...
