sh9000 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Here were some of my collection displays in my HMR detolf in which I took several out for SDC. I may or may not put them back the same way. I might just redo the shelves and display iconic poses. I could probably put a lot of them on the same shelf. I could probably fit all of these on 1 or 2 shelves. Then there's this one that I would love to permanently display. I'd have to glue the pieces to the stand arm claws just in case there's a small aftershock. And then lastly I would also love to have this one permanently displayed. I'd have to tighten the stand arm for the Max 1J and glue the attachment pieces to make sure nothing falls off or falls down during an aftershock. I know there will eventually be a larger earthquake in my state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just out of curiosity, do you keep all the boxes or just selected ones? I keep everything. 20 hours ago, sh9000 said: It needs to be filled up to the point where you can’t get past the door. I can already see this eventuality. It'll become impossible to find (or even access) many of the boxes, I'm sure... 5 hours ago, no3Ljm said: I still got an annoyed look from my wife after I showed this to her. I would never dare show my wife. The attic remains safely inaccessible to her. 😅 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

borgified Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Nice try @no3Ljm.. Tekering (a Canadian from Alberta) posted these pics before, and it doesn’t get that too toasty as he’s up along the same longitude area as British Columbia/Alaska, Great Britain/Scotland/Ireland/Wales (give or take).

borgified Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 (edited) I should have stated that Tekering is a Canuckle Head ex-pat living and teaching students overseas in Japan. Has anyone else seen Tek’s videos posted on YouTube? That should gave a clue in where he is located and that his collection that was posted on TFsource (plus various pics that was posted on here).

MKT Posted October 30, 2021 Share Posted October 30, 2021 Ah space... early on in the collecting journey, display space was the big headache. Need more cases, then need more rooms. Boxes were a minor problem; they were just shoved into whatever available space in closet or corner. Then later it became obvious, the boxes were the biggest problem. Because even if run out of display space long ago, the boxes still need to be dealt with as the toys keep arriving. Came to a point where we probably need a 1:1 ratio of display real estate to boxes storage space.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good stands to use are Yeti, created by @ChaoticYeti, however he’s been busy with his new job and has not have time to do anything else since the last time he posted on the boards. You can use flightpose (I think they have new stock coming in?) for now until this Worldwide fiasco is completely over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have an entire room dedicated to putting them all on display. But first I need someplace to actually display them. Detolfs are decent but I'm looking around for other display options that won't break the bank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sqidd Posted November 27, 2021 Share Posted November 27, 2021 3 hours ago, Lolicon said: I'm looking around for other display options that won't break the bank. Good luck with that! I absolutely love my cabinets. They were pretty stupid money before COVID. Now they're just plain silly. If I had to start from scratch and took everything into consideration. Size, flexibility, lighting, ability to customize, etc I would absolutely go Moducase. Keep in mind they can do custom sizes for you. That's a HUGE advantage if you need it. Most of their stuff is too deep to effectively display/maximize wall space for Macross stuff. Not all though. And they do have the custom option. Their lighting options are really what sells me. There is no way you can do something that clean, invisible and tied together yourself unless you're actually building the cases. Moducase has the best size/quality/flexibility/lighting factor of anything out there by a pretty big margin. I've gone full nerd and done the cost per usable cubic inch of display/$$ calculation on just about everything out there. Their Sixth series stuff has the best depth IMO. https://us.moducase.xyz/sixth-series/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity is Optional Posted November 28, 2021 Share Posted November 28, 2021 Fwiw, I just took a shot at designing my own display cabinet (polycarbonate). 36” wide, 18” deep, and two 24” tall levels. For displaying a couple of large lego sets. Estimated cost is in the $600-$800 range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
