I was wondering how the others here secure there items. Being in CA it is inevitable that we are going to have another earthquake. What would be the best way to secure these to the sheves without damage or the very least amount of damage. I know that the people from CA in here must be doing something.

I recall someone mentioning some kind of putty that's sold in California to Museums specifically for the purpose of stopping exhibits falling off shelves..... can't recall the name though.

On the page that LA linked, the product called QuakeHold is the one to get. I've used it for years, and it does exactly what it claims. I highly recommend it.

Move out of California. 
Why would I want to do that? Should I move to the midwest were I will have to worry about tornados for months every year, or maybe the south where I will be hit by at least one hurricane each year, or the east coast and deal with blizzards freezing temps and then blazing hot summer and the chance of a hurricane? I think I will stay in CA, where I have great weather almost year round, I may have to worry about the occasional quake but I will take my chances.PosterBoyKelly said:Move out of California.

Here in Canada the only thing we have to worry about are "Polar Bears" breaking down the door, coming into our houses and stealing our figures...

There aren't any natural disasters in Chicago, except the mayor, and in Atlanta floods are the only problem and they're never destructive enough to even make the news, if you have a sub-pump you're fine, and the weather is nearly as consistent as California as far as mild conditions go, and I wasn't bashing California, it was a joke, sorry to offend you. :chew
I was joking too. I was just making a point that everywhere has there issues. Oh and by the way I have been seeing a lot about tornados expected in Chicago in the near future on the weather channel. Got to love TV in hotels, its amazing what you find yourself watching and sometimes learning.PosterBoyKelly said:

Chicago doesn't them really due to the lake and large buildings, it's the suburbs and outlaying small towns, and even than they're rare, it's usually just "high winds." Nothing is impossile, but plenty is highly unlikely like tornados IN Chicago, they're usually near but I don't think there has been a recorded tornado IN Chicago for around 10 years now, and if there was they've only been in the city limits for a short time, they usually start in the south suburbs, make thier way up and end in the southside. No hard feelings though, so lets start over, with some dancing Chewies to clear the air (pun intended!)

But to return to the subject of the thread, I've also used Quake Hold, and it was the solution to Anakin's loose right arm as well.
If you put a couple of small bits of it to the underside of a stand and twist the stand into position, the only way you'll get it off the shelf is with another twisting motion. It won't pop off or fall forward or sideways. Everything on the floating shelves over my iMac is secured this way. Every year or so I replace the Quake Hold with fresh stuff.
One packet will last a long time. I've been using it for about a dozen years, I think I'm on my second or third 75g packet.

Except for friends who comes over and want to look at the collectibles WITH THEIR HANDS!

I've never had any problem finding it in stores. I think I bought my last packet at Target.mfoga said:

Price sticker ($4.19) says I got mine at Green Thumb Nursery, which means Green Arrow Nursery has it too.
Don't laugh...there are some pretty cool Takara items at my local nursery ...they make some very realistic motion-activated creatures for your garden. The big bullfrog's throat even swells in and out when he croaks, and he looks slimy. Twenty-two bucks. And you thought they only made overpriced action figures!
