Kay M sent me a few pictures of her minifigure collection this week. her collection currently consists of the following
- Series 1 to 16
- Disney
- UK Olympic set (One of my favorites)
- Simpsons Series 1 and 2
- Some additional Star Wars and the Batman Series
Her figures are prodly displayed on the shelves that you see below. Kay stated that these shelves were custom made by a friend of hers and I think that they look great!
These appear to solve the dust problem quite nicely with a clear plexiglass front. It also looks like it will keep small interested hands out as the fronts look like they are screwed on. That is a very sophisticated locking mechanism for small children! 🙂
This reminds me of a funny story. I was having a party once in my back yard for my son that was still in pre-school and I walked over to see three small children (3-5) looking through the slats of my backyard deck at a pile of minifigures that they had pushed through the slats and were now forever gone in a file of mud 2 feet under my deck. Their was no reasonable way to get to this part of the deck underneath. I quickly ran into the house and looked at my display shelf only to discover those very same figure missing. 🙁 I was so mad, but the kids were just doing what kids do. Playing with legos. In an effort to right the wrong, I quickly went to bricklink and recorded the abandoned minifigures. However, last year, I replaced my deck and while they were tearing up the old one, I was able to recover the old weathered minifigures. I kept them as a memento and put them on display with the others.
Hats off to Kay as these shelves look great and offer a great solution to displaying the minifigures. It also looks like she can get one Series per a shelf. Kay looks like she will need her friend to make a forth one shortly as she is running out of room!
Kay also mentioned that the front of the case it curved to allow for viewing from different angles. I bet this also helps with taking a picture. I always need to take the glass or plexiglass off of mine to take a picture to eliminate the glare. 🙂
