Reideen1313 Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I've finally got a display case for my mates. The problem I'm running into is, how the hell do I display my bagged blanks, con exclusives and prototype stuff? I've looked thru the display thread and it looks like most people prop them up against the back of the display or a box. When I've done that in the past, they end up falling over eventually. Any other suggestions? (I'm really tempted to open them all at this point out of frustration...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Ah...finally...I am not alone on this! I share your frustration, but have no solution. TBT! uses a nice display case, but they are heavy and expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minijeff Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 the few things I have in bags I have in a shadow box and in a scrap book where they are mounted onto the back of the box or onto the page....my battle damaged gold spidey I have in a single figure clear plastic display cube sitting on my entertainment stand...I hand wanted to go the route of Tims awsome display but it was too costly to get them shipped up here so my regular figs are slowly getting moved into the 3 tiered display cases I bought.

TM2 Dinobot Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I hate this problem. I kept having this. The one solution I had was to put them in a sitting position in their baggies. Thy still fall over, but it takes a lot more to do so. My other solution is to tape the baggies to the wall, like they're trophies. I wouldn't use push pins, and that punctures the plastic. Ultimately though, my final solution was to open them. I figured I'm only going to sell them ONCE, and that'll be years from now, and by that point people won't care if they're sealed or not. I get so much pleasure out of them that I never even look back. So much so that if I ever acquire Gold/Silver Spidey, there's a good chance I'll open them too.

Reideen1313 Posted February 22, 2008 Author Share Posted February 22, 2008 I'm strongly leaning towards opening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cappy Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Heh. Well, you know what my answer is bound to be: open all the poor little buggers! If it really matters, you can save the baggie for later... whatever. Not much of a help, but that's my answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I use cases like TBT's for my bagged figures. Jonny Lightning makes little 6 car cases that run around $10. Even bagged figures with cardboard headers (Like the Jon Stewart) will fit in there fine. I've no problem with them falling over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 Antacost, can you point toward anywhere that sells those cases you mention? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antacost Posted February 22, 2008 Share Posted February 22, 2008 I usually pick them up at TRU when I need a new one. Target's also got them as well as KMart... Since you asked, though: http://www.diecastwarehouse.com/Merchant2/...ategory_Code=AC Looks like I'll be ordering them from here on out. Half price from what I'm paying at BrickNMortar to get them...
