If you're looking for display cases, Ikea has these great ones called Detolf: http://www.ikea.com/ca/en/catalog/products/10011055
Put some of those three-tiered rises from SmallJoes in there and you're set!

I have two of those for my 12" GI Joes and they're great.
I'll probably get more to keep the little Joes dust free.

Don't forget to wave your hand in front of her eyes when you tell her: "We don't need to approve these shelves. They are approved".

They don't go on sale.
They WERE prices at 119.00 at one point. Then they dropped to 109, then $99.00

This is the lowest they have ever been, and I highly doubt they'll go any lower. I own three, and picked up two for the convention to use.

Hands down these are awesome.


The best cases for showcasing loose Joes was the BERTBY cases.
They cost $159.00 and would hold 290 CDs, 140 DVDs or 70 videos.

Done correctly, you can get at least 20 figures to a shelf, and about 200 figures in an entire unit.

Sadly, I think IKEA has discontinued them.

I advise to keep file cards stored away from figures.  

Reason being is I am not sure how the pigments from the cards would react to older figures.  I know that back torso of Cutter, which was stored in a sandwich bag with the filecard from a boxed Whale I bought at BHT years ago, become later discoloured.  Not sure if this was a one off.

I have one of those display cases too.  I use it for my large toys and statues.  I like to display my 3 3/4 in battles so I dont display on those, if they were slightly wider I would  but they are fantastic still.

I don't know how to share this workbook, so I will send it to you by email when I come back home.



http://docs.google.com

First time I will be using this...

Here is a printscreen of my Excel (the printscreen looks really bad, the file looks better):



Here is the link for download.

Let me know if this works...
