Please visit GEEPEEKAY.COM to see my ever-growing collection in it's entirety. Trying to keep my old collection thread up to date was failing miserably. So I figured if I have an entire site devoted to my collection...why not just point people there?? I hope you enjoy browsing through both my collection, and my website, as I have spent a lot of time building both. Please feel free to use this thread to leave feedback/comments/suggestions/complaints/etc. Thank you for looking!! [/center]

So...you might have noticed that I have been a little 'scarce' around these parts lately. I am happy to report that I am ready to start hanging out with you fine folk' again. When I started my website a couple of years back, I had no idea how far it would come in such a short amount of time. I knew nothing about domains/servers/code/etc. when I began, so I have literally started from scratch. Over the years - while still being proud of my site - I was never really impressed with the way it looked. I never liked the 'home-made' look it had. Sooooo...a month back I set out to change that. I am proud to announce that as of today, GEEPEEKAY.COM has an brand-spankin' new look!! This new look offers a much more streamlined and professional look. It also provides the visitor a much easier way to locate information. Gone are the days of endless scrolling - or multiple clicks to get to what you want to see. Now everything is neatly contained on a home page with an intelligent sidebar. There are many, many other nice upgrades, but I will let you all find them on your own. Obviously, I have put a ton of time into this - and have enlisted others to help 'check' the site for issues, errors, etc. - but I am sure there are things I have missed. Over the next week or so I will be making some final tweaks here and there - but if anyone sees something is incorrect, please don't hesitate to pm me. Without further ado...welcome to the NEW geepeekay.com!!!

Just completed the Original Series 5 Gallery! I went ahead and did my whole 'master variation' set including the 2 factory error sets: - Non Die-Cut - No Blue Ink It ended up being 240 cards strong (and that took for-fuggin'-ever to scan and crop!!!!!!) Anyway, click on the creepy image below to visit my OS 5 Gallery!

(click to visit my NEW Cheap Toys main page) So in case you haven't been to my site lately, I have completely redone my Cheap Toys section. In addition to some new pages, I have updated the Main page to include a sneak peek at some of the pages I'm currently working on. They should be done soon, but in the meantime I have gone ahead and posted my most complex and time-consuming page yet! Behold, the......(click to visit the Cheap Toys Figure Archive Introduction page) I feel I finally have this complete enough to go ahead and post. Keep in mind it is still a work in progress, but I'm pretty damn proud of it For this archive, I took over 400 pictures and edited them and cropped them in Photoshop. 'Time-consuming' is the understatement of the century. Notes from site:You are just a click away from the most comprehensive and in-depth look at Cheap Toys and the various colors they were released in. I have created TWO DIFFERENT archives for your viewing pleasure:
- The Detailed Figure Archive * Contains images of EVERY sculpt in EVERY color - also includes information such as country of origin, material characteristics, color alias and more! * This is THE BEST collection of Cheap Toys photos and information on the 'net.
- The 'Image Only' Figure Archive * Contains the images of EVERY sculpt in EVERY color in a streamlined look! This way it is easy to see the subtle changes from one color to the next without 'text' getting in the way! * Since there is no text on this page, you will need to refer to the Detailed Archive to obtain color names, etc.
An ongoing project will be to create hyperlinks to hi-res versions of EACH figure. These will be viewable by clicking on the little thumbnail image. The hi-res versions will contain both a front AND back image of the particular sculpt. You can track my progress by checking the 'Updates' section on the main page.So - PLEASE remember it's a work in progress. I would LOVE to know your thoughts/ comments/ etc. And as it states on my site, if you have some of the missing figures - pm me so we can talk about how I need the pictures to be taken/submitted. Some of the missing figs I actually have but the pics got screwed up. Thank you sooooooooooooo much.

Oh yeah - I forgot to add that you can click on the thumbnail of the UK Green Leaky Lindsay for an example of the 'detail shots' I intend to have.
It took a while for me to figure out the code to have the pop-up display as the same size as the pic - and not a new giant window. I think it works well...but we'll have to see.
Thanks again!

So, for a couple months now, I have really been wanting to display more of my collection, but haven't known just 'how' to go about it. I casually mentioned it to my neighbor a while back - which turned out to be a very wise decision. Turns out he's spent the last month working on some custom shelves for me. I really would have been happy just slapping a board on the wall with brackets, but he comes over with these gorgeous maple shelves that mount to the wall using no visible hardware. They are extremely clean and fit perfectly in the basement. I spent a few hours going through my boxes yesterday and pulled out some of my favorite GPK and SW items. I love the way they turned out...

Not sure if anyone here uses it...but I have added a Twitter feed for GEEPEEKAY.com I can post ' tweets' whenever I want, so it should serve as a nice compliment to the RSS feed which only updates when I add new content. Enjoy! Click here to visit GEEPEEKAY @ Twitter!!

I have completed the Original Series 7 Gallery! Click on the sticker below to visit my OS 7 Gallery! I have been all over the map lately and just never got around to putting the finishing touches on this...but alas, it is now complete! And I was pleasantly surprised that there are actually some damn-fine cards in this Series. I hadn't flipped through in a while so it was nice to put this together. Here are some of my fav's:

I just realized I don't have any 'updated' pics of my Cheap Toy storage on here. So.............. I store my Cheapies alongside my other 'LRG'. They are quite happy...sorted by color and stored in my basement. One color-variation per drawer. Here's a couple pics of the setup:

While I admit there are other parts of my site I would rather be working on...I have ALWAYS wanted a 'Find Your Name' section at GEEPEEKAY.com. So, at long last...I now have one!! To give credit where credit is due, I hit up Wayne to ask if I could use his data when creating my section, and he kindly agreed. I literally could not have completed this addition without his information - so THANK YOU!!When I set out to create this section, I really wanted it to be different than Wayne's/Aaron's/etc. - so I ended up breaking down the names into a page per letter. I feel this lets individuals search a lot easier and get their results a lot faster. I also tried to include some fun facts and information about the names throughout the section. Hopefully everyone likes this addition to the site! Click on the image below to visit the all-new 'Find Your Name' section!!

I have completed the first pass at an 'Artist Checklist' for my site and wanted to get some feedback/etc. I compiled the information from a variety of sources (websites/gpkug/etc) but found a lot of contradictions. I think I have it 'mostly' correct, but was interested to see if anyone saw some corrections that needed made, or additions, etc? Also, if there are any other artists' websites floating around? Click on the image below to be taken to the page, and thanks in advance for any feedback/info/etc.

So I am literally falling asleep at my computer, but I have FINALLY completed the first pass at the Garbage Pail Kids Flashback Series Gallery page of my site!!!
It takes long enough to open these packs and put 'em in pages...let alone scan/adjust/crop/watermark/size/etc. them when they're done! But alas, I feel it's complete enough to share.
Without a doubt I will be updating this section fairly regularly going forward, so keep checking back!! Click on the image below to visit the new section!!!!!! CLICK THE IMAGE TO ENTER THE FLASHBACK GALLERY:
Now if you don't mind...I'm going to try to sleep for a few hours before my alarm goes off! Lemme know what errors/issues/etc you find. I'm fuggin' whoooooooooped, so I'm sure there's a few

So I will add this to my site sometime this weekend...but here's the low down: It has been a loooooong week, so we put G-Force on the basement TV for the kiddos - and my wife and I decided to have a drink in the bar. I figured: drink + Friday + bar = GPK! I decided to bust into the last FB box I had lying around. About halfway through...this happened: I was soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo convinced it would be a Simko or a Lynch, but I was still incredibly excited about that. Imagine my surprise when I turned it over and found this..... . . . . . . . . . . . .

I have made a small change to the Flashback Gallery section on my site. Due to the level of rarity for some of the parallel cards, it is a (financially) impossible task to complete a 'master' set. My goal instead is to complete a 'colored border' parallel set of 160 cards...regardless of the color. I have switched from 4 separate pages (Green/Pink/Silver/Gold) to just ONE page for the 'Parallel' sets. Click on the image below to see the new and condensed version: Also, I have added my wonderful sketch card from Ping onto my site, and you can click here to see it in all it's glory

I'm lucky enough to have a bunch of items in my collection that I absolutely ...but recently I received something in the mail that jumped straight to the top of the list. Sure, the item itself is kickass and fits perfectly into my collection and storage technique, but what makes it even better is that it was a surprise gift. Our very own -TCT blew my mind with this one...and I really don't know how to thank him enough. For the time being I have been using it to hold some items that haven't been moved to their permanent home in my collection...but I forsee using it to hold my specialist-of-specialist items. Click on the image below to be see a few pictures of this most badasseriffic gift!! I spend a lot of time working on my site and trying to make it the best GPK site on the interwebs...and it's things like this that make it all worthwhile! Diego, you are most CERTAINLY the bees-fuggin'-knees. THANK YOU!!

So...if you get a chance...click on the image below to head on over and check out the new digs Thanks everyone!

I just visited your site for the first time. It's absolutely amazing! Really loved to see all the Bukimi Kun cards for the first time in my life!
Great job!
P.S. if you want I can provide you with some pictures of Dutch and Belgian testset items which you can use for your GPK around the world section.
