Transformer collection display case?

Postby mattj972 » Mon Jun 11, 2012 10:11 pm

I'm wondering if anyone knows a good place to get a glass display case for my collection? I'm using a 6ft tall bookshelf right now, but really want an enclosed display to keep the dust off them. Roughly 75-100 figures ranging in size from steeljaw to optimal optimus. i've seen some for $600 but that's out of my price range.

Ikea. A lot of people use the Detolf glass cases and they are very nice, but they don't hold a lot. I use their Billy bookshelf system with glass doors and shelves. You get a lot for your money and they look great.

:D
IKEA Detolf glass display cabinet all the way!
It is an excellent piece for displaying your favourite figures in, with its all glass sides and shelves and option for a small light to be added for extra displaying-goodness!
They are easy to put together and set your collection off a real treat! ;)

I agree on the Detolf solution, but it is true they can get a bit crammed!

Check your local papers and shop fitters also. Some of them may have ex-display cabinets for sale cheap. My friend picked up a 6'x 4'x 2' enclosed glass cabinet for $120. Lucky punk.

Thanks for the suggestions, the ikea glass case looks really promising only $65 right now so i may get a couple of those. The light add on is interesting too for that one. The bookshelf i'm using is running out of space and too much dust.

I really can't express how much I like the Billy bookcase setup. Old pics but you'll get the idea:

i like those. i'm trying to find them on the ikea website but don't see any like these. Do they have a specific name. I see the 'billy bookcase' but none that are all glass. These cases are perfect.
