If you can't find anything better, I've heard of some people using those clear sports card cases as risers. Plus you get 2 pieces for the price of 1, the case and the lid.

Ferrero Rocher boxes work as risers in a pinch.

You get yummy chocolate and a riser for your figs!

Weird, so I guess GDO Deluxes and MP Thundercracker are shelfwarming in the States. See my latest post in the sightings thread. Sadly I couldn't pick up extras for you guys.

Yeah, I am staying far away from these molds! I don't care what colour you paint it, a terrible toy is still a terrible toy!

But anyways, IKEA used to have frosted glass doors for their Billys, but now it seems like it's either completely clear or black or white. Very much a pain in the butt. I have one with the old frosted doors, so I feel I need to get 2 with the new doors to flank my old one.

Anyone else spend a few mins looking at this pic going, "There's Omega supreme! There's Syklynx! There's Grimlock!" Haha.

Ayup, and it's roughly sorted by year -- so like I said I'm basically done. Now I just need another for a similar G1 decepticon setup. I just can't squeeze any more figures onto these shelves without overcrowding them. It's a nice self-imposed limit.

I want a 3rd bookcase for various Classics and MPs.. and a Beast Wars Season 2 shelf. Maybe a Prime shelf too. And Alts... shit I hope one extra bookcase is all I'll need, now and forever...

I picked up a laser prime at Brentwood LD recently for $5.99. Is that Maketoys Battletanker worth picking up for it?

The Trailer is nice as it completes what "G2 Laser Prime"

There is the Maketoy version as well as a KO one so you got to be careful as to which version you buy. From what I heard, the quality of the KO one is similar to the Maketoy version.
