Hi All
been a long time since I've been on the board and since have rediscovered my love for Hasbro's! Decided a few months ago to start up a loose collection, trying to get them all (maybe other than mail aways, could be out of my financial reach...who knows!). I want all to be as mint as possible and all actions working with all accessories. I've done pretty well through toy fairs and Ebay and I currently have 48 - most recent purchase was Adam Bomb!
So I'm now at the stage where I'm looking to pull the trigger on a display, general consensus seems to be a Detolf, so I think I'm going to go with one of those, unless anyone can convince me its not the way to go? Feels like people's reviews have pro's and cons but I haven't seen too many other actual displays that aren't in Detolfs and I think as long as the set up is right, they can look really cool for the Hasbro's and my understanding is that if you can get 4 step risers, you can fit the whole collection in one Detolf...25 Hasbro's on each shelf?
I've tried to trawl through the forum before posting, so apologies if this is any form of repeat but I'm looking for any advice before I spend my cash on a Detolf (or other suggested) display - where to get 4 step clear risers that fit well in a detolf? lighting suggestions (think I need battery operated for the room I have in mind as the Detolf won't be by a plug socket) and has anyone got a good suggestion to raise the detolf itself? One thing I don't like is how short they seem to be?
Thanks in advance to all, I don't know many UK collectors so would be cool to engage with some on here, where people in the UK are picking up their Hasbro's and would love to see pictures of others displays (not just UK!)
Not at all wanting this to be UK only - I just wanted to ask where UK collectors are picking up Hasbro's and the sorts of prices they're paying as it seems tough to get them over here at a decent price point and anything over £15 from abroad seems to sting me through Royal Mail tax!!
