Rad Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Just to let UK collectors know... Sainsburys are selling off their Football Heroes commemorative display stands for 50p a pop (they were £1.99 originally) I've just helped meself to 10 of them. They're three tiered and ideal for displaying Minimates/Star Wars/ Justice League figures. I'll add a photo tonight when I get home. Any non U.K. members that might want them, drop me a line. They're fairly light so shipping shouldn't be too much. ***also have clips on the back so you can drop your own background in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdyCarter Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 How many fit per stand? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 this them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Thassem mate. They're approximately 1' wide. Each step is around 3/4" high and 1 1/2 inches deep. I reckon they'll be perfect for minis. The bit that says football heroes is optional but you can pop your own backdrop in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well I've sent my other half to Sainsburys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanester Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Those look very similar to what I use. Mine are actually made for cooking spice bottles, I believe, but the work great for a minimates display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Would that be from Lakeland Plastics Shane? Someone mentioned them to me a loooooong long time ago. Never seen em here though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well I ahve 10 of them waiting for me at home. Yay Apparently they might start giving them away as they have millions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBT! Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well I ahve 10 of them waiting for me at home. Yay Apparently they might start giving them away as they have millions I'm wondering how well these will work for the 3" figs that dont fit into my display cases that well? T.

Rad Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 I've seen pics of them with Star Wars figures on Tim and they looked fine. Once I've set a couple up I'll upload some pics so you can see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Are there different colors, Rad? I'd be interested if they came in something other than that garish orange and green combo. Shane: can you post pics as well? I'm debating whether to go the acrylic wall case route or the standing 4-tier display case route and seeing what people use as stands might help.

Shanester Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I will try to remember a photo tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I'll have to have a shufty at these in person I think. Not convinced by that photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 I will try to remember a photo tonight. Thanks Shane! And here's a picture I ganked from eBay: In black or white I think these stands would work well with Minimates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Heres a quick display I did so you can get the feel of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 That looks great, Ady. Does anyone know if these are available in white as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdyCarter Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 That looks great, Ady. Does anyone know if these are available in white as well? They aint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 The red strip is just a sticker Fujis. I'd imagine a bit of brute force and ignorance would sort it. I'm also terribly colour blind but I could have sworn the stands themselves were black! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fujis Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 Well, in the first picture that Ady posted it looks green... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rad Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 Now I look at it at home (works monitor sucks) I can see exactly what you mean mate. It must be really green too if I can see it clearly! Ok, here's my Grand Army of the Republic (More troops required. Join up now!) on their new display stands. http://endymion.typepad.com/photos/random/dsc00637.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rad Posted July 1, 2006 Author Share Posted July 1, 2006 What a 'mare!!! I had to do the weekly shop last night so I went back to sainsburys as I needed to get more of these stands to send to Fujis. The shelves were bare!!! I asked a shop assistant who told me they'd started giving them away at the checkouts. I could only get another four and don't hold out much hope of getting more. Gutted!!!
