        Yep Ikea, their Detolfs are cheap and you can display quite a lot of stuff

              I use the Ikea Billy bookcases, they can hold a lot of stuff. They are pretty reasonable, and if you wish, you can spruce them up by adding lighting, replacing the wood shelves with glass ones, and even add glass doors, all also available at Ikea (I've added all but the doors, those things cost more than the actual bookcases themselves!)

                  Too bad Ikea doesn't also sell cabinet locks then.

                    I am taking my daughter, Courtney, to tour the college in the Twin Cities. I am hoping to finally get my Detlof cases!

                      I think Scott posted a conversion to add an extra shelf to the standard Detolf case and make it hold even more Mego figures. I believe the standard height will take a 12 inch size figure.
                      It's not a doll it's an action figure.

                        I wanted to get one or two of these for Christmas, but the shipping was nuts. I am pretty excited to just see one in person. LOL
