I don't see a dedicated thread for Display sets, so here it is, because i want to ask.

Anyone know where can find something similar like this? I think it's stackable:





the pictures are from a vendor but in Singapore, so i don't think it's viable or cheap to order from there.


Feel free to discuss anything about displays. Cabinets/Boxes/Tables/Stands/Rotating Stands etc.

Daiso now are selling those U Shape lift stands that you only see in Department stores display (not for sale). But i have yet seen any place selling the XL size.

BTW toyhaven.blogspot.my display proposal. Juz a sharing...
IKEA DETOLF still good.

i think Ikea no longer sell Detolfs?

Anyway if you stack so many it might not be cost efficient already. also takes alot of time to dust proof them. and not so ideal if you want a simple clean line em up look.

Those Billy shelves have 2 side opening meaning the glass borders eat up too much space.

i just find the ones i shared tidy & easy to maintain.

Detolf cleaning them 1 by 1 is a challenge. dust & oil still goes in even you dust proof. with long design you just need to swipe from left to right. and there are gaps between each detolf. you can saw up the edges but it'd be alot of work.

i've seen people combining 2 detolfs into 1 big cabinet, requires some modding.

BTW, could I know how many type of Daiso display case have now?
My place didn't have Daiso, cuz the Daiso marketing team refuse back their proposal target on my place.
Very unlucky...

And I wanna ask any cheap display case for 1/24 scale car models?
And also 1/12 scale motorcycle display case...
Taobao did have, but some is combine acrylic pics case, not so cheap for sure...

where you located at.

for normal case u can find in most shops, for bigger type you need to find those that sell high value items usually located near cashier.

i won't talk about normal cases (those you see in comic shops).

for 1/24, i think they are too small.

there is a long type flat base around rm21.90, it fits 1 1/18 cars nicely with abit extra so it might fit 2 1/24 cars.\

there is also a shorter case around rm18 that will fit 1 1/24 car.

for motorcycles 1/12 i think the height will be a problem, the wide requirement too since they have handles. cheap solution is a jusco book cabinet with transparent table cover and some white tacs.

other Japanese 100yen shops also sell similar rm5 cases. some are flat base some have 1 stair.

or you can go Home Pro they sell many acrylic shoe boxes & cases of all shapes & sizes made in thailand. the shoe box is cheaper rm19.90 fits a short 12" figure or a vehicle. they have bigger ones for display but it's over a hundred.

and my advice is always put a piece of paper on the base because plastic reacts with each other, rubber will fuse with plastic as i've experienced. The rubber will cause a hole on the base where it sits on and they stick with each other. for cars best put something below the car so the tyres don't experience pressure.

just make sure check for scratches & cracks usually along the edge.

also Art Friend sells acrylic pieces & cases, price aren't cheap, and cases glued together don't look as good as molded ones.

My location is East MY middle place, actually Daiso plan to open at here year ago.
But then our money currency become so weak... they pull out retreat their plan...
Even 100yen also closed after years on business...
Now everywhere is Mr.DIY and SuperSave at my location...

Anyway thanks for all the advice, for 1st I need to have fit display case for sure.

hi there, it's probably not cost effective to ship from west to east.

your best bet is DIY, i have seen them starting to sell the same acrylic boxes as Homepros, from thailand, choice not so many but i see them carry the shoe box size which will fit your cars. probably fit 2-3 if you line them up at an angle. they have 8 holes on the sides which can be taped up. there are 3 sizes for the shoe boxes.

cost around rm20 each.

Thanks again. I will go found it if my local DIY have.

Jusco or AEON cabinets also works with a piece of plastic cover.

Hehe

well, im saving for one...about time i get a proper display

nice water gun collection. looks deadly.

what kind of display you looking at and whats the quote?

Robin quoted mine about 2k ( taller than detolf) . powder coated paintjob and customized height. saving money now.

i used to have 6 detolf .....never liked it at all

2k for something as big as detolf?

what happened to your detolfs?

2k for this cabinet
All my 6 detolf i sold off last year....best decision i've made!

IMO rm2k is abit expensive for that size and nothing special, it uses 2 sliding doors which means the middle of the cabinet will have a line, and there will be gaps between the sliding door, which you can put a dust shield on them and the rails on the sliding door will collect lots of dust.

also for some reason i find those LED stripes too dim and pale. i think few bigger bulbs should look better maybe daylight or warm white.

i like the detolfs, they look tidy. any reason you hate them so much?

I still prefer detolf. Got 4 of them. Reason because its cheap, the shelf is customizable (level, add shelf) to caters my liking. I can also moved them around when I'm bored with my living room arrangement. Lastly I display my toys in 'sets', so each detolf/shelf got its own theme.

dude how do you move them around without disassembling them?

i did not install those wheels as i worry they might break 1 day. also they sit better on the wood. i don't think you can just lift the cabinet up, it's not light and you put stress on the glasses.
