I don't have a whole lot of space. But I would like to either find something or create something to display my Transformers toys. I've been storing them on my bookshelf, but they are starting to take it over completely. I can't really hang anything on my walls, so I'm trying to find another solution. How do you guys store or display your toys?

You need more bookshelves

Try the Billy bookcases from Ikea. They're cheap and sturdy if you put them together right.

at the moment i don't have much out, just some centerpieces in an ikea hemnes bookcase with glass doors.
i also have some billy bookcases, but i don't consider them fit for my collection: they're too shallow and too closed.
for my hobby room, i will be using the ivar series of modular shelving, painted white.

Right now they're on a shelf. As my collection is located at my ex's house, I'm not displaying a lot. Just some recent stuff.

Free standing bookshelves is really the only thing I can think of. Things like Billy from Ikea have many holes to put the shelves so you can set the height to fit the figures, I think you can also buy more shelves. That way, by displaying figures of similar heights together and putting the next shelf just above their heads, you can fit more figures into a case.

Funny you guys should mention Ikea, I have one near me at both addresses (Delft and Frisco TX to be exact). I should check out those Billy cases whenever I get the chance.
