cause lego's way of thinking of making money is increasing the price of existing products instead of giving what consumers want 😂 but hey at least the customs market are making a killing
What I allways do is have my minifigs (yes even rare ones) posed around my shelves fighting,eating,hanging out,fighting again,and even fighting (yes my lego starwars collection is mostly war without the star) I think it’s the most fun to do and plus you can creatively put them in your other sets buildings and ships
That looks great, thanks for the tips👍🏽 There is actually a lot of space for creativity in displaying minifigs. I like to brick build a tiny scene around the minifigure, once I got a 2$ display case, it fits 8 minifigs with each their own little “habitat”
I don't know the company but I own a case which is a similar size to this which has studs on the base and two smaller baseplate things which stack on top. I'm currently displaying all my batman figures in there.
Hobby Lobby has similar clear plastic cases with a transparent base. Main benefit is that these relatively cheaper plastic cases keep the LEGO minifigures dust free.
I know I'm displaying my (according to my kid... "his") minifigures wrong, but the clear plastic bin that they're all tossed into with all the accessories was by far the easiest way to keep them all together 🤣🤣🤣
I hang them on a baseplate with the minifigure frames. It supports 5 rows of 5 for a total of 25 mini figures. Usually enough for a cmf. Some times I can squeeZe in 6 in a row as I. The case of my iron men suits and Batman suits. for 30 figures
Neat idea. I had a different project I was working on but with all the cutting I was doing, I went and bought a paper cutter from Michaels so that I could always get straight edges. I made sure I used those 40% off coupons too.
Kmart Australia sells this exact thing but with really good gripping knock off lego studs and for 15 AUD. It means that its cheaper and comes with pre prepared studs. That’s what I use but this is cool as well. (It’s also light grey so if you hate brighter colours this isn’t for you.)
A great way I store Minifigures is I take a tictac box and make sure its empty then take off the top (which is tricky) then put the Minifigure inside and close it then display it on a shelf. However it will not work for Minifigures with large accessories like back packs, certain armors
As these cases are deeper, I have to find another place to display them. But it's probably worth it. It seems to save a lot of space. Thanks for the tip.
Then there is me, just a grey big baseplate with the black minifigure stands upright between the plate studs with a 1 stud gap on both sides and 7 studs between each row. And ducktape on the back taped to the wall
I bought off brand base plates and stuck them to the wall and use circle studs on the back of their legs to attach them. Wall space I have a ton of, my limited shelf space is for the Lego sets!
I saw this video when you first released it, then like a week later I went to the Lego store and they have a container store in the same mall, so I decided to go grab some of these displays to give this a try! I came back to this video again to find some templates, and I see that you linked the creator’s website where more templates are available. Thanks for sharing this! I’m off to download some templates now!
Not sure how much of a silly goose you like to be when you're getting crafty, but a paper trimmer could be a good option for you when you want to cut out a lot of things like that quickly and neatly. You can pick one up for like 30 bucks at target, or you can get some pretty serious ones for more depending on how froggy you're feeling.
@@Emmasaurus yes it is. I recently bought a frame with spots for Minifigs and have been thinking of making my own but doing a brick built background so I can add "movement" and do more of a scene then just a stand. We'll see 😂
I didn’t know minifig displaying was such a big thing. Not that I have a huge collection, but the ones I do have collected I just sprinkle randomly into any of the Lego buildings/sets I have, make them apart of the little Lego world. Does make it so you gotta look to find them but I like making them do random stuff throughout Lego street lol.
I buy all my minifigure display cases at Daiso (a 100 yen store from Japan)and I just stick lego plates to each staircase! The case is pretty good quality and made in Japan (at least the ones imported to Taiwan are) maybe you should get em out?
The ones I got in the U.S. are made in Japan too. I've been using them for all of my mini collectibles and they never disappoint. Fairly cheap too I would say. About 5 here in the U.S. for the big ones and 2 for the small ones.
Literally was looking at displays for figs the other day cuz me and my gf are starting a collection and ebeyrbing was like just way too expensive. This is literally perfect!
Great video! I have brick-built display stands for my figures and I've found that this works well whilst saving a lot of money - my stands use the 3x4 plates from the CMF line for each figure. I use cheap bulky parts (supports, old printed bricks, window frames etc) from bricklink for the inside of the structure, which also saves a lot. Haven't found a case the right size for my stands though so they need dusting regularly
I hate those official lego display cases for 16 Minifigures with the 4x4 grey plates.. bcoz most of the plates don’t stay and fall forward if you shake the case
I buy the cheap ones on amazon, they are nowhere near as good as official Lego but it is cheap. I have many figures and it would have been too expensive else. So hyped for the new series 23 on September 1st, I had to get all the series 22 and Muppets this year!
One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself of a time when I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin' me Actin' like I was part of your property Remembering all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so far Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then But it all comes back to me in the end You kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually Be a memory of a time when I I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal You didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin' to hold on, they didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside And even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory Of a time when I tried so hard
Unless you have them in direct sunlight at home or live in a Volcano why do people worry so much?. I have mini figures 30 years old on display in the open that still haven't faded or cracked lol
It's a cool looking display case, but unfortunately for me I won't be getting any. There aren't any stores in my area and their online store won't ship to where I live in central New York 😔
Buying frames from IKEA costs like $5, and then an extra $1 - $2 for the bricks. It is the cheapest way to display figures. It’s also the best looking since these displays in the video are extremely bulky and hard to display when you have many of them. You would also need a lot if space with these boxes.
In general I recommend just keeping any Lego (in a display case or not) away from direct sunlight. Most cases are meant for display and keeping dust off your Lego!
It's nice. But it's too bulky for my liking, I've got frames that are all wall mounted they do run a little expensive (£25 per frame) but it's a real space saver and makes for better display I find.
