Display Cabinets

[Johnny]

Ok.
Now you would think that gracing your parents home with your transformers collection is enough to make you the number 1 child, however some parents seem to think that encyclopedias and books belong in book shelf’s!!! It's only a matter of time until they drink the red cordial that I have placed in the fridge and then I will run around the house with transformers held high with NO one to stop me.
Until then I need a display cabinet!
Sooo my question is...... is there an agreed best place to purchase display cabinets. Preferably glass, plastic is ok, that I can display all my children in?
Also is there a brand or type that is better than others?

This thread probably belongs in the General Discussion section.

I'm probably the least qualified person to answer this as most of my Transformers are displayed on el-cheapo metal shelves from Bunnings. d: The only time I've ever shelled out for a lockable glass display cabinet was for my gun Megatrons - and only for legal reasons. If they law didn't say so, I wouldn't have bothered.

These guys are endorsed by a few members here - although I don't remember reading an actual review

yes the thread that Tober provided is endorsed and came up when someone was looking for a display cabinet to display MP-05 in a lockable cabinet to fulfill the requirements in keeping one. I forgot the person's name there who is this groups contact ( ask Tiby). This person is a TF collector himself and has given his word to Tiby, which I hope still stands, that he will give discounts for OTCA members as he knows its for TFs we will use their products.. but I havent heard from anyone yet of a review or anyone who bought any.... well not that I can
recall

I got my Megatron cabinet from that same mob too. The guy that served me at the Villawood outlet was a noob and wasn't very helpful (friendly and well meaning, but just lacked experience and in-depth product knowledge). I eventually ended up going to the Tempe outlet and the guy there was much more helpful. When I told him what the cabinet was for he sighed and said, "fun police." ;D

A review would be helpful...

I'm sure dirge and possibly Tiby have bought from there too.

I'm curious to know how much they weigh and weather they come flattened for assembly (probably) as I use public transport.

Moved accordingly.
