Noice!
You got some cool figures in there. Then again any collection that has HT Leonidas is awesome.

OMG, a Swede buying IKEA! Sry bad joke.

I recently picked up the Besta with Tombo doors and the Ikea glass/mirror insert packages. Since my collection is quite small at this point I opted to use the bottom two sections for storage and just display in the top four and in my detolfs. With the top sections it was fairly easy to drop in the lighting and notch the back during assembly so it didn't damage the back piece. with the mirrors it looks great but is a pain to photograph. With the thick black border on the doors you need to either set the base shelf higher or use risers. I found that acrylic puck cubes are the perfect high as risers and are a good size. for the bottom sections I wanted to try something different, so I decided to use an entire cube to display my first Hot Toy purchase, Tony Stark. (man his pedestal is huge! It won't fit on the shelf if fully assembled. Anyway, for this one I put a glass shelf just above the bottom hinge on the door and slid some small pedestal lights underneath to light the whole thing from below. It fits the piece well, especially with the base and Tony's chest turned on.

I need to drag myself to Ikea again, need some more units but driving to warrington is a drag lol. Considered switching out my detolfs for besta's many times they have a certain amount of class to them.

Where abouts are you SV?
I ended up there four times in less than two weeks recently
Besta is deffo the way to go.
Oh, one other thing that I recommend...Last year after Christmas I picked up a remote for Christmas lights for a few bucks. It works perfectly for these cabinets to avoid having to work out ways to turn all the separate lights off and on. Basically it is a short Y shaped length of cord that takes two 3 prong plugs and then plugs into the wall. I keep the small remote control at my desk in front of the case and can switch everything on and off at will.
