CW Viper to display in either alt mode or as a weapon. If (like Superion or Menasor) extra limbs come out from Hasbro for CW Defensor or Bruticus (you know who I'm talking about), Galvatronus might get displayed combined, along with a neat weapon. :P
Otherwise, he's going next to the other Viper, currently displayed in robot mode.
We've been repainting the study at the moment and I'm thinking of buying some Kallax shelving from Ikea to display my masterpieces. a 5x5 will have me totally covered, space-wise.
Havent been "Devastated" like everyone else but picked up Streetwise and Rook this afternoon. Waiting for maketoys Cupola to arrive from TFI Downunder.

Wow hahaha has
Why not try this one instead of the Kallax, Millhouse. its got glass doors too so your display looks snazzy:)

Love that Powerglide variant ;)
A couple of reasons actually (though a very good suggestion).Quote:

Most of my MPs are currently still at my parents place and most of the cars are currently in an older version of the same furniture. I can fit about 7 cars in various modes per cube quite nicely so I should be pretty sweet all up.
The idea is Lambos in one, Datsuns in another, Wheeljack/Bee, Tracks/Roadrage, Takara MP Soundwave/Soundblaster, TRU Soundwave, YOTG Soundwave, with (possibly) some of the larger things (3P Dinobots, Devvy, etc) on the top shelf along with a Prime and Magnus in truck mode.
Good suggestion though, but I'm looking at maximising what space I have. Plus I need to get a nice cabinet for my Hot Toys/SST 1/6th scale things too. Looking at a Stockholm but am not sure where it will go in the house yet.
Aaah I see what you mean millhouse. yeah those tall figures wont fit easy ...
hmmm, Hot toys look great in showcase Glass Shelves so you have to have a pretty good budget for it though
here's a link

Too rich for my blood unfortunately! I'm thinking that I'll end up checking out the Stockholm first, but I might end up with a couple of Detolfs. As my 1/6 collection is pretty small and very slow in expanding, I've just got to take some measurements of bases, etc.Quote:

Shelf four: RoboCop, Snake Plissken x2 (don't ask), Marty McFly
Unfortunately I'd really like to display the Mime Joker's base and backdrop but it's quite large...
oh hehehe, well at least you've got the link in case funds become a no issue heheheh ;), have a browse thru as well, they have different category ones which are cheaper than the presenting link I gave you :P
I have seen someone display 2 detolfs next to each other semi connected in the middle, they didn't put the side glass ( 1 for its left, the other its right panel) for each so it looked like one big continuous display shelf, though there is that small gap of course...
Arrived today from Mandarake :)

Glyph. Chest insignia is not centred very well, paint app on the face (namely the eye visor) aren't filled in properly, right foot appears to be slightly discoloured compared with the rest of the blue plastic, left foot is looser and doesn't quite sit flush in vehicle mode.
Way to go, Botcon 2002.

(Anyone wanna buy complete CW defensor? >_<).Quote:

So in the mail today I recieved these guys:

I'm quite happy with these guys, and I needed a Smokescreen/Dreadwing in my collection anyways, and I knew these guys were the perfect fit.
