I'm just wondering... i'd like to share my deluxe class bot's display, problem is, I need a little inspiration.

should i display them in vehicle or robot mode? personally, this time i think i'd perfer the vehicles. also i've run into another problem, since i want to build a realistic display, I don't have the materials to do it. however don't know what to use even if i had it.

finally, i'll get some picutres of the bot's i want to display, and i guess i'll show all of the deluxe class bot's in the, share your collection forum. but i can get some pic's of the ones i most want to put in my display once it's built.

I picked these deluxe class and i'm thinking i'll build a highway themed display.
I wonder if LEGOs could be of asisstance? i've got milloins of lego bricks, i'll try that first but, what do you think? could it work?

If you do not have unlimited display space, and most of us don't, Bot mode is the best way to go. Maybe separate them by Line, Alleigiance, subgroup, even color.

If you have unlimited display space, I'd go on a case by case basis. For example, a flight of jets from the movie line with less than attractive bot modes would be swooping in in jet mode, while lots of the Classics would be shooting at them in bot mode...

Thats a good idea! I might be able find enough space for such a kind of thing. of course I have a lot of toy related messes to sort out. I really need to get focused on placing my varius collections in the proper place.

if i ever get those legos off the floor, but that's what happens when I feel a need to be creative. sometimes i wonder why I still keep my legos even though they always get in the way of everething else. I'll get my Transformers and other collectables back on the shelves, it's hard to make them all fit and i've been cleaning the room so it's been while since they were where they belong.

If you have limited space then robot mode is more efficient. Having everything in car mode makes everything seem too flat for my liking. Having a mix of bots and cars is a nice balance. Displays shouldn't stay static though - they're toys and should be played with so displays evolve.

The trouble with Lego scenery is that it looks like Lego. You could try building houses with it and wrap them in printed pics of buildings from the net.

I keep mine on IKEA shelving by line, in bot mode. Then I will take a few of them down and display them on a table in more dynamic poses (Ive got a really cool one right now with Metroplex, Trypitcon, and the RTS legends out right now).

I wouldn't have space to store them all if I kept them in alt mode on the shelves.

I've got majority in robot, my doubles are in car mode--some of the new vehicles are pretty sweet.
