Does anyone have this or has purchased this? Im looking to buy it for Marvel Universe but i would like some feedback if anyone has ever used one of these. They look cool but im hesitant to order because I dont know the quality of it.

$45 for 24 figures? So if you have 96, that's gonna run you $180. Better off making your own.

It's really nice but I doubt it can hold many MU figures like Juggernaut or Apoclypse- they'd likely be too wide, based on that photo.

And the manual labour this would entail, probably at least 2 to 3 hours not to mention 30 minutes to doodle up a blueprint. I don't know about most people but even if I only made $10 an hour putting caps on bottles at a factory, this wouldn't be worth my time unless I had a passion for DIY or I planned to buy materials in bulk and resell and even then, unless I planned to make a business of it, not worth it. The case is a reasonable price. I've seen these things cost way more. I imagine the guy makes pennies off the dollar on these considering shipping is free. And yeah, you can probably make this out of plywood and use some sort of cheap reflective material alternative like the tin from aluminium pans but who are we kidding here? LOL. Seriously, just pay the guy the $5 bucks an hour to build you a case. It's like how my father pays some kid $20 to mow the lawn. It's all about how much your time is worth to you and how much enjoyment you'd get out of putting the case together yourself because after all is said and done, I doubt you will save very much if any time. I haven't bought one but my suggestion is do buy one and check it out if you think it's suitable. Like Jason said, it probably won't work for larger figures although I would call and see if they sell wider slotted units that accommodate fewer but wider figures. I imagine "some assembly required" so you can probably remove a single vertical wall if it's divided into 3 slotted panes across or you can remove an entire section if they slot together that way. Just some options there for you. |

Personally IMO if I was going to display my figures like that I would just rather keep them MOC

True, however 24 MOC figures takes up significantly more space than this wall mounted display cabinet/case, if i buy it and for some reason change my mind id do a review to help fellow loose figure collectors then trade it or sell it on here or the Bay.

At least consider using it for a makeshift Hall of Armour for what I'm guessing you must have at least 20 Iron Man figures.

Sorry to necro this thread, but I just published short review of Livarno Collector’s Display Cabinet on my blog, maybe some of you would be interested. Sold in Europe for £50, it can hold hore than hundred figures.

Unfortunatelly they do not sell the black variant, you need to paint it yourself. But then it looks cool, I think.
