dakotahorn Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 http://www.etsy.com/listing/100055271/hot-wheels-164-white-diecast-display?utm_source=google&utm_medium=product_listing_promoted&utm_campaign=toys_mid&gclid=CL7AlPD8mrYCFQmFnQodiVgA3AHey guys/gals, I know its been covered before a bunch, but has anyone ever tried to use hotwheel display cases for their minifig collection? I saw this one and a lightbulb went off in my head. All you would need to do is turn the case sideways, and you would have an almost perfect minifig display. Technically you can leave it as is and still have 1.75 inches in height per slot. But sideways would look nice and spaced out in a 'grand' sort of way. Thoughts?

Rich B Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've never thought about using a Hot Wheels case, but that would actually work great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can sense your excitement and I know how you feel. I had the same feeling when it hit me. Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha Haha yeah I had thought about making a display case, but never did because I knew it would take a little time. Buying a hot wheels case saves this hassle!!

sadowsk1 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I like the hot wheel cases. I get my own at places like Michael's or Joanns Craft Stores. They usually have 40% off their display cases or coupons that bring them down to 40%. I use them for minifigures. The stands themselves usually cover up the golf ball indentions but this is what one of the cases looks like. If I think of it later I can post an image. At 25 bucks a piece they are really nice. http://www.amazon.com/Novelty-Display-Cabinet-Shadow-Cherry/dp/B005IHK7XA/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1364324349&sr=8-5&keywords=golf+display+case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Great idea...I've been thinking about making my own acrylic display like the ones that you see at the store but I would much rather just buy something pre-made assuming it looks decent.

TheOrcKing Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 That is a neat idea. I'm more into brickbuilding the displays for my characters. You can specialize each display for the minifigures therein. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
