    these are old pics, I have my favorites that are displayed. With two little guys running around its easier to keep them boxed, plus I love collecting boxes not toys...j/k.

    I have quite a few figures that are MISB or MOSC in my collection. However, the majority of my figures are open and on display shelves. I've often wondered how I could incorporate the sealed items into the display, but they take up so much space. I'm beginning to think I'll need a few display shelves just for them.

    Omg! You got me drooling! I much prefer the TFC reissue boxes. Soo much nicer looking then the Encores IMO.

    I would stack them pyramid style because I don't have shelves to spare.

    Best way is to get a commercial shelf like what u find at target or walmart and display it like a store. I gotta say sometimes it feels nice just having a bunch of boxed toys that make you feel like u just walked into a toy store. That feels nice. Sometimes when u take out the toy and play with it, it's not as fun as you imagined and it kills it for you.

    Ya, the TFC reissues were the ones that re-awaken my collecting bug.

    And here we go.

    I've got a bunch of Japanese RID (what I started the obsession with), and then
    G1 reissues. I have all the reissued molds in MISB condition. Only one I'm missing is the first Predaking reissue, but I have the second one to make up for it.

    Sorry for the crappy cell phone photos

    Man that reminds me so much of how I use to have the bulk of my collection in the walk in closet in my old apartment.

    Seems like the TFC reissues are the staple for most box lovers!

    I also wrap up all my boxed transformers in thin plastic sheet prior to storing them. Makes them look mintier. Anyone else does that?

    Yes the boxes open up in a book style. The figure, along with all of its accessories are on one side an on the other is a bio, along with info of what scenes the character was in. Also some other kind of Japanese stuff I can't read lol.

    Here are some examples of how the TFC's look when you open the cover.

    I prefer TFC except for Jazz, Prowl, and Hound. Those 3 suffer from mould degradation in the face.

    I don't do anything fancy, and it's changing all the time depending on which stuff I feel like wanting to see out. I'll just open one of my storage boxes and stack the stuff up on the sideboard like this:

    No TFC boxed for me, would've loved it if they at least had G1 color to the boxes like the TRU series.
