Question for all you fellow collectors out there! I'm in need of a new display case/shelf. Right now my collection consists of six collectibles, which are sitting on a collapsible wooden shelf. My Mark 43 is coming tomorrow which will bring my collection to seven, and I anticipate three more collectibles by the end of the summer. That number is certain to grow even further, seeing as how I'm addicted to this hobby. There's no way the shelf I have right now can hold all of these. That being said, does anyone have any recommendations for a display case or shelf that is suitable for a large number of these collectibles, preferably ~$350 or less?

Many of us use detolfs and bestas from ikea. They are fairly cheap and work great!

Detolf from IKEA is one of the favorites. I have one and love it.

Got a chance to check this out briefly yesterday after work. Looks pretty cool but I am more impressed with the Ultron base. Still undecided if keeping it or not. Never parted out a figure before but I am enticed to sell everything but the base. Decisions...

Why are you parting it out?

 

[Nuka Cola Kidd]

Why are you parting it out?

Cause he wants to keep the base?

Thank you Captain Obvious. I'm just curious as to why he bought it. Just to resell period?

Why would it matter?

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

If he wanted to do that he could just buy the base by itself. Once SSC ships out every loose parts site will have it

 

[DarkAngel]

Why would it matter?

Nope, just asking. Trying to create conversation

 

[Brainiac]

Curiosity No harm in asking

Yeah agreed! And if he has the exclusive, I feel like he could get more for it if it was all together

Yep! I'd say they would fetch a neat profit over retail now, probably not much but some

Ouch... reality of the cost of these die-cast Iron Man figures finally kicked in... checked my credit card online, and the charge (in NZ currency) came to $492!!.. that's on top of the NRD late last year,

Oh well, it's only money..

As a side note, it would cost $599 (inc free shipping) to get it from Mighty Ape in NZ, and I wouldn't get the EX, and will have to wait until estimated Sep/Oct, so I'm happy I went with SS...

Double ouch.... just had a phone call from Fedex and over $100 customs fee.. ... This has wound up being a very expensive figure! (considering the only Sideshow 1:6 I've ever bought cost me not much more than $200 including conversion)

But, I don't regret getting the Exclusive for the EX for the Mk1 base, and I know I'd be waiting months.. (my Nate Drake PFF was pushed back months buying it locally)

Has made me consider, as there is no EX, if I do go for the Mk45, I might look at popcultcha...

One more day to wait!
