I got them from Ikea. They're Billy Bookcases with glass doors. IIRC, about $80CDN each.

You know I gotta say, you got the cleanest and neat set up of all the collections I've seen.

I like that.

btw I'm going to beat you at this little poster game you keep playing. heh

What can I say... I'm a neat-freak when it comes to anything -- including collecting. :sweat:

It depends on the color you get as well for cost & then the doors are a good $60 each as well at least! I have the same thing but birch with metal doors I find the metal doors take less away from the display because they are thin compared to the wood framed ones though it makes no different when you open them & admire the collection it self . Good gosh those bookcases kick ass though don't they?! They can hold so much plus the doors have saved many a figure of mine from falling to its death & smashing on my floor

Really? I wasn't aware of that. Then again, I wouldn't have known since all the funding was entirely from my parents.

They wanted to help me clean up the "mess" that used to be my collection. My collection room used to be more like a warehouse than a display room. In fact, I had already been asking them for years to get shelves for me but they've always thought of it was a waste since it'd just be filled with toys. That's until they saw my uncle's collection in HK and then they realized it'd actually look nice -- no matter what was put in it. That was when I gave them the "I TOLD YA SO!" :laugh:

I personally prefer the wood ones since it was what, by default, made me think "this is exactly what I want". I usually following my "gut feelings" rather than "thinking" when I buy stuff. I find that "thinking" purchases tend to end in regrets -- just ask a bunch of my figures who have been in storage for years now. :laugh: IMO, I either like it or not like it -- sort of like love at first sight. From my experience, "thinking" can make me like things that I actually don't really like. So just to be safe, I abide by that personal rule of mine.

You got a heck of a deal & yeah you go to go with you're gut For me it was the metal look I was looking for you're trek autographs look so nice in real frames I've been pondering getting some for mine too now that I have been looking at you'res haha! I have signed comics & such in frames as well but just the cheapo ikea ones

Awesome collection. :buttrock:

But still, I'll catch up! :shakefist

As Synch requested, here's my Star Trek stuff...

DST/AA figures...



The Borg... :buttrock:





The crew that raped the Borg (Captain Janeway of USS Voyager and company)...



My custom ECH (Emergency Command Hologram)...



All of my Playmates Star Trek...



And sometimes Quark would leave the collection shelf to visit the Cantina bar a few shelves lower... :laugh:



Also got about 10+ more figures on the way as a result of my recent Star Trek Spending Splurge on eBay.
I managed to score a lot of good deals and I've also 100% officially completed my Voyager crew.
