Saw these the other day at Ikea. Thought they might be cool, but man, I had no idea. Really sharp. Right now, my Joes are just display on a bookcase. Still looks Ok, but I have searching for something new.

Hey,
Here are a few quick pictures of the ikea cases I moved into my new computer room... don't mind the purple walls.. (its call compromise when your married) I just put the GI Joe stuff in the cases the other day, so its kinda messy. The Transformers stuff has had a little more thought to the layout... As well I have more ARAH figures, I just wanted to put the classics in there for now, and I'm have plans to put my MOC 25A figures on the wall.. somewhere.... and incase there are any TF fans..

The only thing i don't like is the fact the bottom shelf is floor height. That thing should have stands/feet.

This is my old setup with 2 Detolf's and the Skogen (discontinued), I now have 4 with outside shelves filled with SW and ARAH.
I never thought that they worked well for Joe's, unless you get some clear acrylic risers to fill up the empty space. But they are best bang for the buck as far as cabinets go.

Two questions:
How do you order the ikea shelves off the website? I see prices and styles but nothing that lets me add to cart or order Those talking about the wasted space for the 3 3/4" toys, I assume you mean loose ones? How would these work with carded figures inside of star cases? I have all of the 25th line like this so I wonder how many I could fit in each case.

I say you could only fit 2 MOC +cases in each level... I think you have to buy the ikea stuff from the store, they don't do online orders.

I own four detolf cases and i i can honestly say they are the best cases on the market for displaying your figures ,i've seen other cases on the market that go hundreds of dollars and even over a thousand ,most of us probably can't afford that ?
If i can make a suggestion to utilize the space inside of your cabinet ,get some plastic cubes roughly about the same height as your figures ,then take the measurements of the glass shelves that came with the cabinet ,and get more shelves cut at a local glass dealer ,you can maximize your storage capacity ,place the cube on the center of the shelf to balance the upper shelf you will put on top of it ,this can be repeated throughout the cabinet . |
