    Default Where to buy good, reasonably cheap glass display cases

    Hi guys,

    I'm after a case to store/display some of my boxed transformers.
    I have about 8 leader classes, 4 voyagers and a variety of masterpieces (2 YOTH Primes, 2 TRU Grimlocks, MP17, 18, 19, 20, MP Megatron and am now eying off Generations Metroplex.

    Never thought I'd have enough figures to warrant one, but what can you guys recommend in terms of a good, well sealed, reasonably cheap glass case. Obviously with boxed figures I'll be struggling to get them all in so I don't mind using it predominantly as storage rather than showcasing all I have.

    I assume IKEA and scouting ebay for used glass cases would be a good start but is there anywhere I should know about?

    the ikea detolfs are pretty good value for money

    us aussies get ripped off, paying over/around double what the US have to pay for the same thing

    If you want cheap, then you won't beat Detolfs.

    Picked up a detolf the other day, pretty easy to put together but u'll need 2 people to get it done. Noticed they have the led light kits for them too.

    Definitely going to need more lol

    Aldi had a pretty good detolf-styled case not too long ago, but it was only in the weekly catalogue. It will very likely be back next year though.

    It's also possible with a bit of handy work, to do a bit of wood cutting on the detolf, and join 2 together to get a double door wider display cabinet while still looking nice.

    I plan on buying a whole heap next year
