c717905's Collection II- Twice as much fun

EDIT: Nov. 24, 2008

I got sick of having my cases crowding up my home office so I moved them into the basement. Now they are in line w/ each other and arranged in chronological order. I started w/ figures from '84 in the top left-hand corner and went down year by year, one year for each shelf, then across starting at the top.

In the small display case, I still have Brave Max and the mini-cons, but instead of having the hodge-podge of random figures that I like but don't have a better place to put, on the bottom 2 shelves, I now have my SWTFs.

FYI, I do have 3 plastic storage bins filled w/ rejected figures. I decided to thin out the herd a bit (I know it is hard to tell), and put the lesser figs into storage. I am in need of another case and will probably get one sometime this next spring.

Anyway, w/o further ado:


Case #1 (from the side b/c the chaise lounge is in the way): G1-'84 through Beast Machines


Case #2: Robots in Disguise through Animated


Case #3: Brave Max, Minicons and SWTFs


Let me know what you think of hte new set-up.

Nice setup man.... thats pretty slick. Where'd you get your cases?

Now that's what I'm talking about. I always prefer these kind of display setups than just TFs on some random shelves. This looks neat, clean, and professional. Nice work!

Thank you. I really love the way they look. They really are much more mature and it makes it look more like a collection than just a bunch of toys.

I got them both from www.showcasedesigns.biz. They aren't cheap and I had to get them custom made, but they are cheaper than some alternatives. I think they were well worth the price and will keep me satisfied for quite some time.

Let me know if you are in KC some time and you can stop by to check them. The lighting really makes a difference and you can't truly appreciate it until you see it in person.

Keep checking back as I will post new pics as I get things put in there.

I admired your collection before but I am impressed now! Extremely professional, classy and slick! The majority of my collection is in storage but when I am able to display them I will definitely use your design as an inspiration. It truly changes perception. It looks sturdier and more secure than a regular shelf. Do you have to do a lot dusting? Do have any problems with falls or over stressing the shelves?

Those are pricey.. but I'm gonna save a link anyways.

Kinda sucks to have to pay for each shelf... but they are super nice.

Wow one day when I have money I gonna have a display case like that. You rock!

oh man. I cant wait to see how you fill that case. Looking forward to seeing more detailed pics of how you organized everything.

Very cool...has a "business" look to it...


Edit: Hmm...first time I've ever given two thumbs up...

Congrats, I love your cases very cool!
