BESTA love and idea thread

[Butttornado]

Just got back from IKEA!!!
Got tw0 1x2 Bestas and 4 Mirror inserts. I also got 2 short Bestas to go underneath to raise it a bit. The three cube Bestas were a bit too tall for my display, so hopefully they will stack on top of one another ok. I will post pics once it's set up!

You get clips to hold them together but I'd throw a few screws in.

I more or less finished setting up my Bestas and also two Kallax's. I will try to get some pics up over the weekend. Its still a work in progress on what i am going to fill them with. I used the Vassbo doors in white. I am not too thrilled with the viewing angle they create, but its better than nothing. I would have preferred Tombo but i have a better chance landing on the moon than i do finding them .

Yeah, I had Glassviks in my cart and took them out at the last second. I think they would obstruct the viewing too much. In the end, I want to be able to enjoy my collection.

Vassbos & Glassviks block my nameplates, LOL

I'm buying up all the TOMBOs at my store for future storage, even if I don't have the shelves yet.

Here are my Bestas setup! It took me all day trying to figure out how to maneuver stuff around so that I didn't make the room too cluttered. All I have for display is the small corner of our bedroom. I am SUPER happy with it though. I have room for all the PO's I have on the way. It looks like a gallery in here now. I love it!!!!

Love that you got hulk in there!!! Wow! I'm gonna have to try that! Just don't know if it will look good with him and sups in one Besta with the staggered shelving and tombos. Decisions decisions!

Thanks!
Yeah, I ultimately passed on doors for now, because I wanted flexibility for adjusting shelves and maximum visibility. I will just have to dust more often. I figure part of keeping me entertained with my collection is having to keep it clean.

glassvik and vassbo def take away from what you are displaying. The work for my hard hero statues because i doubled up the shelves. i think i need a small riser still. I tried putting some LSB's in them and its pointless. Blocks everything. I wish i could find some Tombos but i have had no luck

some guy on here was selling them.

i saw that quickly.. i think with shipping it was too much for me to swing. I will probably just wait until i set up the other side of my room with the DC PF's and hunt craigslist. I may even have my brother who is overseas keep an eye out. I can probably get him to buy them and then never pay him back!!! thats what brothers are for right?

thanks pal. I have to come up with a backup plan just in case. I cant believe that when i finally get my displays ready Tombo gets chopped from the lineup

Which LSB's? The only one i was able to see most of was stealth iron man. Cap's head symbol was cut off. Venom looked ok.

anyone know if there is a difference in the thickness of the border, between the Vassbo and Glassvik doors?

 

[devlinboy]

yea there is..off the top of my head, i think vassbo was about 3 inches and glassvik borders were like 2 1/4 or so. I will try to measure my vassbo later to confirm.
