I always wanted to have my personal little toy collection displayed like those in TRU so I bought a pegboard, peg hooks. Now I have room for expansion, and I get to pretend that I hit the motherload in Joe toys. (NOTE: I just started collecting so that's why hooks are not filled.)
I decided to go cheap since I didn't know how it would look, but I may upgrade one day. The pegboard, hook and mounting kit was all from McMaster for about $20 shipped. 18575A51 - Pegboard mounting screws/spacers......$1.72 18535A12 - Pegboard hooks, 5-3/16", 20/pk...........$5.88 18575A13 - Pegboard 2'x4' .................................$6.55 Living a childhood dream................................. Priceless. Installation time was like 5 minutes. |

Really nice man, A friend of mine suggested this very same idea to me a couple of weeks back and i have been thinking about it ever since because i am running out of room for my collection. Now that i see how good your collection looks in this fashion i might just have to do this myself. Thanks for the pics bro!!!

nice job. yep, that stuff is cheap to buy at most hardware stores. you can find just about anything in mcmaster carr (sp?) catalogue.
watch out for the stuff after wave 8 or whenever they switched to the white cards, they are very flimsy

I just pin the cards to my wall. But your display reminds me alot of the old Toys R Us' back in the day. Very cool.

I have a whole wall with peg boards. But watch out closely because if you buy smaller peg rods instead of the larger ones, you can run into the peg curve on the card start to bend and there is no way you can get it back to normal. But yes, I like the peg board thing, it saves a ton of room, and the figures look like the ones in the store.

That's what I did with my Episode 3 figures since they were such a pain in the ass to hang (the big round bubble and lack of card made staking impossible). I put up the peg board and grabbed long hooks. I can fit 6-7 figures per hook.
Freed up so much space that I could actually hang my JOES! Now I'm thinking about increasing my Star Wars pegs to make more room for JOES. |
