    Thanks very much for the kind words everyone! I have to keep it clean and organized otherwise the wife will not let me keep them in the living room! :wink:  That was the deal after I begged and pleaded with her that the den was not large enough to accomodate the collection.

    Unfortunately, my setup is no longer in the living room - it actually hasn't been that way for months. Everything has been moved to the MUCH SMALLER den (happy wife = happy life). It does not show as well but I still like it! A lot of new stuff has been added since I last posted. Instead of retaking photos all over again, I decided to create a quick video instead:



    Check it out and let me know what you think!

    got an error on your video link.

    regarding your steps/stands:
    nice--wish I had found something like that when I was putting together my display. ended up buying a ton of various clear plastic boxes instead. Too many variations in heights of figures my way. your stuff is nice and consistant! if they made them in a clear version, I'd rip out my entire display (That would be a task and a half) and re-do it.

    anyway--nice display---I like the way you have the seekers displayed! cool!

    Fantastic collection and equally fantastic display. Those cases and shelf organizers work great for displaying your collection.

    Nice display! Didn't realize Springer was so short. This is exactly how I envision my setup to be after my next move.

    LoL.. it's just the glare from the display glass against the camera. I should have shot the video in the evening. I assure you it's not as bad as it looks! :wink:

    I was just looking at the Ikea site and saw that the display cases were only $65 each and I was like "Sweet!". Then I saw that shipping was $349 and was like "Son of a...". I could get the shelves on Amazon $119 + $62 shipping. Hmmm. My closest Ikea is in Pittsburgh which is about 2.5 hrs away. Maybe I'll pick up a couple down there sometime.

    One of the cleanest collections I've seen. Very nice. I like ur first set up (2011) the best (although the new set up is sick too). Although my collection is in my theater room, I always wanted my TF's next to my screen in deltofs but can't due to space limitations.
    Also like the comment about how u focus on TF for 84-86 (the glory days). Me too!

    Man this shows you can have an UNCLUTTERED collection even in a small space!

    Love the new paint on the walls and poster frames! Your new set up is suppppper clean! Kudos, having the energy moving everything around bro, i KNOW its a lot of hard work!!!

    I like how you've used the top of the detolfs to show case some of your other lines, and kept the displays uncluttered still!!

    Inspirational display man! THANKS SO MUCH FOR ALWAYS UPDATING US!!
