Jeff and Mikey - you guys are both using the same display cases, right? Remind me what they cost again, and where you find 'em please... (forgive me, I don't wanna go searching for it). Mikey, did you screw yours into the wall? Looks like it. No problems with that (plastic cracking)?

Let's start a new thread.

I thought about doing that with the Series 5 pix, Tony, but we usually go to about 50 pages per thread, and then start over, so we've still got a ways to go...

Johnny Lightning Storage Cases, $6.99 each

I haven't seen them at TRU or Target lately, but I haven't really looked lately either.

There's already holes in them for the screws (that come with it, along with drywall anchors so you don't have to find a stud)

Nice thought Simon about Luke, it didnt even cross my mind. I hope they do one with a blue saber as they have done with the Cantina band member. I dont want it to be an actual chase figure, but you guys know what i mean. That would be another awesome nod to the vintage line.

Matt Brand · « **Reply #79 on:** June 25, 2005, 12:03 PM »

The blue saber would make sense. That could be the minor chase, and the major chase could be the Blue Snag. Two nods to the vintage line in one series.

So were the only couple spacial problems with the Kubricks fitting in those the Carbonite Han and the Gaffi stick of the Tusken Raider? Is IG-88 standing up straight? Looks like it...

I just hate committing to a specific type of display case before a line has run it's course. Often, a display item (like the clear acrylic 3-teired stands at Bed, Bath & Beyond) winds up being canceled before one gets a chance to finish displaying all the new (and upcoming) product on it, and I can't stand inconsistent displays mixing and matching a couple different methods. Decisions, decisions... Argh.

Yours look great though, guys.

That looks really cool! Where did you get those cases from?
I have been thinking of redoing some of my SW room to make more space
and do something to avoid D U S T.
How big are they, approx?

Thanks Adam

They were made by a company that went out of business I believe and sold through the YoJoe site 2 to 3 years ago. My wife and parents got me one of each for my birthday in 2002 I believe.

Ahhh...here is the old story I had done on them

Display Cases

None of the links work anymore. I'm trying to figure out what the company was that actually made them.

Those are really nice display cases Scott, I like the hinged front doors on them.

OK, with Series 5 coming out it looks like I'm back to ordering another Master Case. I think the other 2 boxes will be spoken for and Matt Brand, are you in?

You know it!!!!!! Thanks.

It is written, it shall be done.

Yay! Thanks again Dale.

Nice collection photos Scott! I just went to Ikea today to shop for kitchen stuff, and found a great cabinet that I am going to get to hold all my vintage SW and all my Kubricks.

Hey all, I just wanted to let everyone know I am selling all of my non-Star Wars Kubrick's. I know many of you collect other Kubrick's than Star Wars. Please head over to Kubrickworld to see my list if interested. I'm minifig over there. Probably a bad time to sell with the release of series 4 & 5 upon us.
