Thanks for sharing your pics!

Do like how you've randomly arranged everything - it's almost like the way Furman randomly picks and mis-matches teams together

If you want to, get new shelves/cabinets, anything with glass shelves will enhance the look of a collection. If you want look up the new shelves I got for my collection room - these only have a scaffold frame and black glass shelves which allows for figures to overhang and are not restricted by walls of the cabs. They're available at Freedom stores now - I think they call it scaffold shelves for $99 - six long and wide shelves gives more room vertically. My entire G1 collection is easily contained in 2 of these One for each faction with enough room now that the domino effect I had before is less. I can now pick a figure without fear of toppling the one next to it. . Although sadly the Unicron trilogy and Bayverse figures are rather chunky, they still have that domino effect problem in my display - I just pick them up gently heheheh
I now use the old shelves I had for G1 for my "other figures" collection - MOTU, DCUC. So it's not a waste really. I sold some of the smaller ones to another forum member here.

Arrange you collection as per grouping that you prefer really. I arrange mine per series, further divided/separated to per faction. As in under G1 series - all autobots on the right and all decepticons on the left. I dont bother with date release as I will end up losing space if I do it that way. Of course some figures "migrate" in my definition of "series". In liegeverse, DOTM Bludgeon is a CHUGUR figure so he's in the CHUGUR series shelves. Of course to save on space as I said previously the combination of figures to display with together is up to you.

But for your reference ( if you wanna use it) I arrange mine as such - G1, G2, BW, BM, RiD, Armada/Energon/Cybertron, Movie(Bay)verse- all 3 jumbled together hehehe, MPs/Alts, WSTs, CHUGUR/ PCC, Prime/AMs and for some miscellanous figures that can't take up much room or don't belong in a big series (BW2) or extras (g1) I just randomly place them in extra shelves (MDFs). I also keep "liegeverse" shelves.... I have a Unicron's Horde shelf at the top of my G2 shelves - for all figures I deem are under Unicron's influence - e.g. Quintessons (3rd party), Cyb Rambles, Cyb Uniron tanks (yes, I army build), Titanium The Fallen, Unicron agents - Energon Nemesis Prime et al....I used to have a fembot shelf where all my fembotsare displayed separately from ALL series, but that got canned once the new shelves are in coz I ran out of space heheheh
Biggest figures in the back (or on the topmost shelf if it wont fit e.g. Cyb Metroplex) medium in between and small ones in front (minicons) that way there wont be much figures covering one another when on display and gives them spaceso you can pick one up easy without a domino effect on the others. You can also use some stands, I use some Obitsu figure stands/Gundam stands for my Beast Wars figures, as beasties tend to have major kibbles it looks better if you display them in action pose at times so to elicit a "battle" look you can use stands. Makes the display really dynamic looking, plus if you wanna display a figure , say a jet, in flight that makes it easy and gives you space below it for another figure.

[SuspectimusPrime]

All those Bumblebees together does look quite hypnotic Everything looks really good together.

[liegeprime]
