i bought these box shelves from B&Q - called Form Rigga Cubes for a set of 3 for 15 pounds - they are different sizes and are really good if you like the idea of framing your lego sets

r/legodisplay

Wicked Brick displays!

They make custom - usually angled display stands for tonnes of sets- I got a few to display my Star Wars ships and they’re brilliant. Highly recommend them. I ended up getting a couple more Lego sets on the cheap recently... so now have to get more stands!

I just now need appropriate shelving now to fit everything haha

Baseplates and buildings.

Lego loves to make a ton of modes of transportation, but those cars and planes and boats and spaceships are useless if they don't have anywhere to go.

Go on Craigslist and look up “glass cabinet” or “glass display case”

I would display them on the shelf since there seems to be a lot of glare in the glass case. Unless you got LED lights then i would suggest the case. I would also suggest display the Jedi interceptors together. Hope this helps you!

Try to bring some life to the displays, position things like how they would be in a battle

Maybe some minifigure stand but I’m not sure and searching something also for me

Somehow come up with the funds for every UCS set like everyone else on this subreddit and plop them on top of what you have there. You're welcome!

Try grouping minifigs together with other characters they appeared alongside (i.e., instead of just putting all the Jedi together, you could put Anakin and Ahsoka with Red and Fives, and add Obi-Wan to your episode II display). Then try coming up with some cool poses and/or creating full scenes with the minifigs. Having ships on display stands is great, and I think it'd be cool if the minifigs were displayed in a similarly "lifelike" manner

For figures there are clear shelves designed to store nail polish that work great

You get a poster frame, glue the clear shelves to the plastic sheet

Put a poster in whatever your theme of the sites

Hang that up on the wAll and then full the shelves with figures

For Star Wars ships there are wall anchors you can mount them to instead of shelves

For cars a nice corner glass cabinet 🗄

If you have an IKEA near you check out the Kallaxes

Shelves

Make shelves that have different sizes to fit different types of sets

IKEA has shelves that fit perfectly

Certainly don't display all 425 at once. I only display my favorite ones that look good on display, and that's still around 40-50 of them. I have a few shelves full. One shelf in my bedroom and two shelves in my living room. The ones that don't look as good on display get disassembled and put in bags to be stored.

Display all of them and post it here. I want to see this chaos/awesomeness

Well spaced apart so it does not look like a hoard

I'd say the best place to start is type (option b), then sort those by theme (option a).

Check out r/legostorage for some ideas. You can also filter with our "collection" flair.

r/legodisplay has so many you can peruse

I just found cheap displays on Craigslist and spent the savings on more Lego.

Lots of shelving

Ikea Rudsta. They also make a tall 5 shelf version, which we may end up with as well some point.

Folks seem to love IKEA Kallax shelves. And those have glass door inserts you can get as an addon. Plus, UK-based Wicked Brick has specialized options sized for Kallax shelving.

To be honest the first photo just slaps. That's how I'd display it.

I did not realize how long that set is. Next to a full size keyboard it looks much larger than I thought.

Unless you wnat to spend money on clear acrylic it’s a losing battle my friend 😔 

If anyone wants a link to the shelving I use here, it is: Amazon: https://amzn.eu/d/cYEq8fR

It's £9.99 for a pack of 3. Black, white, or clear. They come with 9 stickers (3 for each) and also screws if you wanted to screw them up. So your choice!

I display my Botanicals sets that are potted as if they were live flowers on countertops & tabletops. I even have a glass vase on my desk for the daffodils, tulips, cherry blossoms, daisies, sunflowers, all of which are switched out depending on the season.

As for other sets like my Star Wars, Creator and Architecture, many of them are accent pieces for decor scattered throughout my home. I don't concentrate them all into one spot like a shelving unit or display case.
