"UPDATED PHOTOS ON PAGE 10"

Hey guys!

I got rid of my old shelves and my detolfs to give my collection a better look. Indy KOTCS, Legolas, Punisher Comiquette, Moria Orc, Robocop and Rocketeer will be coming in the near future so I want to make room for everything.

I got a double Besta (47W X 50H X 15D) on the "As is" section at Ikea for 35% off. Then I got another double Besta and a single one the same height as the doubles on Craigslist for only $100..... Best deal ever. I spend $180 on these Bestas shelves which would have cost me over $400 if I bought them straight from Ikea.

Now I have room for everything. I liked the Detolfs but these are nice too. I even got the legs to raise them up and a few glass shelves to be able to see the bottom sculptures.

Hope you guys like it

Bear

Those are absolutely perfect for the premium formats!

Lurtz looks like he is taking up too much room though so just p.m. me and you can send me your paypal address.:D:D:D
 
Seriously, such a good job, they look fantastic. Are your detolfs lying around now?

Why? Do you want them????

Sorry for teasing... a friend of mine bought them from me. I really liked thm but the problem I had was that some pieces could not go in them because they were too big and I could only put 2 PFs in it and one on the top. With the Besta in some cases I can put two PFs in one shelf and they are more sturdy.

If you have a Ikea near you, go to "As Is" section first. They always have great deals.

Cheers

That is a very nice improvement! Bestas are what I use for mine. Add some dioder lights and it'll set it off. They make some nice glass doors as well.

Here is what mine looks like. Still need to black out the wires to the lights.

Actually, bonedaddy, your display gave me inspiration to do mine. I've always liked your shelves but I didn't have to worry too much because I didn't have enough PFs. But when I found the Besta for half the price I couldn't resist. I intend to put some lights too, but at $50 a piece it will be a bit later. I have low ceilings in my house so the big Besta (75 inches high) was way to tall and would have not given me any room on top to display more stuff.

In time I will add the doors, each will cost me also $50 so maybe next year.....

Nice set up. didnt realize the Juggernaut statue was so big (seeing it next to the Hulk PF). But then again juggernaut is supposed to be bigger than the Hulks in the comics. I widsh Sideshow had made a comic book version of juggernaut.

You got an awesome deal on those shelves. Does add up quick at $50 a pop for lights. I've got to buy another 3 sets this weekend when I hit Ikea. Amazing how easy it is to use up all the available space with cool PFs. Just can't stop adding new ones to the collection.
 
Congrats Bear!

your new setup looks great, ikea has good solutions for us collectors:D

I`d like to have the besta but they don`t make it in colour white, so i must use the detolfs and for the 12" also the "Expedit" !..

Congrats again!!:horror
