My Residents Collection
Here's a list of Residents things I own. Currently there are no pictures; this is just a list with some basic info on it. I think eventually I will update this page with pics though... maybe?
This collection is ordered in an approximately chronological manner. Specifically, everything's ordered in "The Residents' Timeline", but not by strict product release date. For example, I will place a modern CD rerelease of Meet The Residents before the original vinyl release of Mark of the Mole, since the original MtR came out before MotM. If that's confusing... well it makes sense in my brain! And it is how I order my actual collection on my shelves.
