    What display cabinet(s) are you using in these pictures? I really like how you have everything arranged. This is very much along the lines of how I want to display my collection.

    These are Moducases ModuCase – Stackable Display. They're a little pricey and have a lead time of about 6 months, but totally worth it.

    Unless you order them in 2020, in which case the lead time is more like 10 months :(  but hopefully still worth it when they finally arrive (should be later this month finally! :) )

    awesome!!! I love shuttles in general, and the omega shuttle too. Which shuttle do you prefer between Astrotrain and Blast Off from the two you have? I am currently keeping my Astrotrain as shuttle, and absolutely love it. Dont have the OM Blast Off, but that is because i only like the shuttle mode from it.

    It's a hard choice between Blast Off and Astrotrain, they both look really good in shuttle mode. AT has his train mode though which looks really nice as well. Blast Off looks more like a real shuttle though than AT.

    Right now my collection is just Season 1-2 and the movie, so no Sky Lynx at the moment. Not sure if I'll delve into Season 3, there's so many figures that don't have a good masterpiece representation yet. Plus I'm working on completing Season 2.

    Ok, sorry for the bad camera, my main one got dropped by my 3 year old...

    This is the final adjustment to my collection. There shouldnt be more until/if FT Smokee / Spindrift arrive, or if i decide to get some more 52Toys stuff.

    Have downsized some more. Decided to split the MP shelf into two, where one is mostly, FT, and the other, the rest that i want to keep. Happy with the current display

    MP: FT + Other

    I try to make all my shelves mimic each other as closely as possible with the same figures. When the collections are big enough the factions get their own shelves, when they are smaller I split em. bots.jpg cons.jpg S3.jpg Split.jpg

    Thanks! I have a few other matching shelves too with movie stuff and older lines. I'll take some pics and post them up.

    I think I'm more envious of the space you have dedicated to this than the actual collection! Lucky!

    Thanks. Yeah my wife has always been awesome about it. She lets me have the entire guest bedroom. It was strategically done tho and expensive to pull off. I had to maneuver pretty masterfully. My collection was a closet and boxes then was one wall in the guest bedroom. We HAD to have a guest bedroom AND her office she said. So I built an integrated desk, bookcase and MURPHY bed in the office and slowly turned it into the guest bedroom and the guest bedroom into the collection room. So when anyone asks what the most expensive piece of my collection is, it's the furniture in the office, lol.

    LOL. I spent three months just building my triple-Detolf. Everything else lives in totes stacked to the ceiling in another room.

    LOL, that was part of the trick for me. The bins ended up moving into the guest bathroom shower, the hallway, my bedroom closet, as it overflowed she wanted to eliminate the cluttered madness. Enter idea "a collection room, no bins...." really I was just delaying the bins overtaking the house again by a couple of years. Anything that doesnt fit in the room is going to be sold.

    My Moducase order that I placed way back in January finally arrived a few days ago. Was finally able to bring Zeta Superion and MMC Skylynx out of storage and bring Devastator and the Stunticons over to alleviate the crowding in my MP display. Someday I'll expand the Moducase and migrate the rest of my MPs over but they're expensive so it'll be a while.

    Moved my legends collection into the upper level. I had ideas of building some scenery for this shelf but all that space didn't go quite as far as I'd thought so I'm not sure how that's gonna work out. Have to get creative.

    PXL_20201216_234055163~2.jpg

    My Optimus/Megatron shelf moved from the top of my double detolf to the top of the Moducase where they have a little more room to spread out and to take in the Bumblebee movie and TFP Optimus figures.

    PXL_20201216_234111104.jpg

    And the top of the double detolf has become my kinda catchall smorgasbord shelf - needed to get all this stuff higher up cuz we recently got a kitten and she's getting to where she can reach and terrorize the low hanging fruit. I've still got enough random stuff that it's either too crowded or out in the open so I'm probably going to pick up another detolf soon to hold me over until I can get the rest of the Moducases I want.

    Thanks! Lego Voltron is an official set I ordered from lego. The Optimus and Soundwave are original designs from Lepin (they usually do lego knockoffs). They've also got a Bumblebee but mine is still in shipping hell so I probably won't have him until sometime in January.

    I've got more Motu minifigs but there's just not much room so they're pretty much all crammed inside the castle for now
