What up Nate!! Glad you stopped by. ;)^

Unfortunately, Brunt is currently occupied picking Autobot chunks out of Trypticon's teeth.

Have to say it: thank you Cobotron for making this thread! Back in 2015-2016 I was blown away by the ambition of your display, use of space, shelves, etc. It has inspired me to get my own shelves/display going, and to keep looking for better ways to show off my collection. Maybe I'll open a thread here too, someday?

Refraktor looks surprisingly good with MP Shockwave btw

Well I'm gobsmacked, LK!
Thank YOU for your kind words and critique of my shelves! :BOWDOWN:

I hope you do start a collection thread. If your displays are anywhere near as rad as your customs, I can't wait to see them.

Not to dis anyone who displays their robots in this way, (your toys/your choice as long as you're having fun) but I just don't see the fun in the shoulder to shoulder line up a clone army display. These robots have been at war for an eternity so I feel that should be made obvious in their display. It also lends to a great play situation. When I get the hankering, I'll play out a battle right on the shelves and in that way the display is ever evolving and changing.
I try to apply this theory to all my toy displays. Not just Transformers.

Thanks again. Feel free to come hang out over here anytime. we're always having fun and being silly with our toys over here. ;)^

This is why I can't wait for a house where I can have a room with 1 wall dedicated to long ass shelves, so they can look more dynamics!

It's actually fun to try to pose them with their weapons to fit between gaps in the rows behind and in front of them too :lol:

I like my displays the way they are, but I could use more space... always more space!

Oh I like mine the way they are too! I like the way all of you have yours displayed!

But yes, more space is always nice! Especially with the huge amount of awesome figures that have and are coming out recently.

If Unicron happens.... damn. *insert we're gonna need a bigger shelf meme*

You know why I like your shelves guys?

'Cause I like you guys!
I know how much fun you have playing with and collecting your toys. I see it all the time.
Those who spend less time complaining about Transformers and more time playing with Transformers are top notch rad no matter how they display them. ;)^

I like the bots with the pumps and a bump...

I like bots with some wings, some dings, and voice actors who can sing

DAMNIT!!!!

If only I could remember where I posted my ode to the Datsun Bros written to the tune of, These Are A Few of My Favorite Things!

D was there. I remember him saying he'd never seen the Sound of Music.

Fairlady Z emblems, and headlights for chestes
Rear wheel roller skates, and fin crest head dresses
Hatchback bell bottoms
and car doors for wings
These are a few of my favorite things.

I knew it had to do with Prowl. Just couldn't remember which one.
