Im buying 2 Detolfs for my collectibles on monday, has anyone displayed their TF's in a Detolf from Ikea? The one im most worried about is my 20th prime fitting! This idea is a crossover from the Star wars community.

Its funny, ive been collecting for a month now and I will be able to fill it up easily!

Ill also be displaying my favorite loose Star wars figures on risers and my GG busts and statues

MP Prime fits just fine, as long as its in robot mode and without a trailer.I can fit MP Prime, MP Megatron, as well as 5 BTs in the bottom section. Though I'll watch the weight on each section (other than the bottom)if you are having a bunch with heavy diecast stuff all in one section. The glass don't seem all that strong, even though its supposed to be stronger than normal glass.

I have an MP Prime with trailer attached in mine. Its a tight fit, but doable. I use them just for large MPs/BTs and statues as the shelves are the wrong shape and height for smaller stuff.

Thanks, any pics so i can get a feel for what it will look like is much apreciated!

I have two detolfs which i use to desplay by MP, BT, Kiss Players, Titianium, Soul of Chogokin, and Souchaku Henshin figures. I dont have any recent photos but I do have these from about 12 months ago:

ty btw im luving those customs u got there very nice

Coincidentally I've been eyeing for a couple of those Detolfs from Ikea for about a month already (among Detolf, Biby & Ingo) . In 2007's catalog they go for US$79, now I just received new 2008 catalog and they're reduced to $59.

After seeing Alex's collection pictures, realizing each shelf will hold only about 5 Alternators, maybe I should get 4 of them.

Cheers!

I went for the metal framed class display cases instead (cant remeber their name, bibby maybe?) becuase I felt the detolf looked too flimsey. Also the metal framed ones come in red. Red isa good colour.

I have five in use right now and really love them.

I've been eyeing those for a while myself. Just waiting on a closer location to open. Shipping is a bear. Any chance we could get bigger pics there bud?

Nice shelves... Protects your best figures from dust and other grit

I'm trying, but damn image shack won't let me on...and I can't resize it to a larger size on my computer, that Seibertron will allow me to have.

Cheers!

If you do end being able to enlarge them just post a link here. I'm not so lazy yet that I can't click links.

Well, I never had that many as a kid, but my job and being single until 6 years ago allowed me the opportunity to spend in ways that I could not spend before.

Some people buy drugs, cars, alcohol, fancy vacations, cool gadgets, etc., etc. I bought TFs.

Thank you for your kind words.

Nope, he was not on my radar. I find that mold to be one of the 'oddest ducks' in the TF universe.

Just wondering.

I am envious of your fantastic display and collection (this I think, being the highest complement one can give a fellow collector).

in a wierd way the highest compliment is to go so far to steal the collection u like it so much
