Posted January 10, 201510 yr We have some family moving in with us due to a fire so I had to move my Lego into the bedroom. I was able to find these shelving kits at the box store and I found them to be very suitable for displaying Lego. The brand is Rubbermaid but I believe there are other brands out there. The cost is moderate but since these can be used for other puposes I look at them as an investment. My sets are usually displayed around the home but since I have a young nephew moving in I thought it was a good idea to relocate them. I also did not want to explain to him why he has to share his toys but I don’t! On a side note I now wake up in the morning to General Grievous looking down at me so that’s a bit creepy…
January 11, 201510 yr Lego is not a toy, it is a highly detailed modelling material, no explanation required xD That does look good though, puts my mind at ease that in a year time when I get my own place with my GF, that my 10212 can go on a shelf, its not the narrowest of models... I am envious of your general, for some reason, I really like him as that set. Good job with the shelves!
January 11, 201510 yr Lovely job, I'm sort of in the process of making a room for Lego as my current space has run out of room. Edited January 11, 201510 yr by Tariq j
January 11, 201510 yr Author Thanks for the complients. I had planned for this to be a temporary thing but I really think I like having them in the bedroom. The only problem is that it's going to be awkward bringing friends into the bedroom to look at Lego (Door left open on that statement)... For reference the wall is 11'6" (3.5m) wide. You can also see the relative size of the different sets. Something that I had never really noticed until I had them all together was that Gen Grievous was almost as tall as the Imperial Shuttle...
January 11, 201510 yr Looks great! I love the break in the shelves for the shuttle. I'm planning to put some shelves in a closet to display all of my system sets
January 12, 201510 yr Simple but effective! I have always wanted to do something like this, just hate for them to get dusty. What was your previous display solution?
January 12, 201510 yr Author I had them displayed around the home. Some on book shelves, others on coffee tables, etc... Just no place that they were 5 year old boy proof!!! Dust is not a problem since we had the home AC fitted with electrostatic filtration for my daughters astma years ago. My goal is to eventually have a workshop built for all of my hobbies but that is more than a few years down the road.
