[gilderdave]

Looks good. Wish I had a toy room. I got so many Joes that are just dying to srt up and I don't even really have a shelf to put them on at the moment.

I am currently in the middle of completing the 1983 - 1986, myself.

 

I like the glass shelfs, keeps unwanted hands going in there.... he he hehe

thanks! these are ikea "docent" shelves. i went back and forth for a few years before getting these. they are dark, but i wanted glass as these are staying up permanently and i don't want to dust. they were also the only ones deep enough although hq may have to be broken down a bit to fit. custom would have been too much $. i'm really pumped! it's the 1st time in years i've been able to enjoy them...

Do they still sell these, I love the look but hate the dark color though that could be fixed easly enough... Allso to try brighting them up you could put white paper up in the back or "brisstle board" cardboard type paper used for art and stuff up as well... its quite cheap to buy...

 

Love the looks of those shelfs though hmmm....

 

found it!

yes they do. i know what you mean about the darkness, but i also like the 80's feel i think the darkness lends. but, yes, they do still sell them only in that color...

[Three Storms]

That's an excellent collection of early classics.

that's 300 canadian, i believe. mine were cheaper... as for handles, i ordered little aluminum pulls because the long handles blocked too much.

there's one on in the big pic to the left, but the rest will arrive tomorrow...

how much are they u.s.?.. Maybe its worth a trip across... that is if you don't mind me asking thoug hsomething like that is easy enough to find out either way & sorry... by darkness I am just talking about the color of the wood... I do things likes that with my own book cases or out right paint them white as it helps the figures display better & easyer on photos ( not that you'res are ba d or anything heh!)

no problem dude... there are pluses and minuses to everything... the wood look is warm, but you have to look for the figs sometimes... trade off...

Awesome set up Dave! Nice collection you've got there. I've purchased a couple cases from Ikea as well. I'm hoping to get mine up soon. Thanks for sharing your pics, keep us updated on your progress.

[Buzzchuck KJ]

Wow, that's awsome! I'd love to get selves with glass to keep dust off my toys.

[darthsith]

Very cool. I like how things are not crowded. It showcases the pieces better. Min shelves are overflowing.
