Hi gang.

A major milestone!
My entire collection (all 5) of my vintage M.O.C. figure's are now safely enclosed in posh shiny acrylic display cases.

Thanks,
these are my late Xmas/early birthday present to myself.

They're a great investment, Graham, close up these cards are pretty beaten up & dog eared.. the cases somehow seem to vastly improve their appearance (by a couple of grades @ least) I can only imagine how good the truly premier league C9+ type items, like yourself,Steve & Eddie collect, look in them.

Not so bad if you don't have to freight them half way around the world. :-/ Those look great, mate.

hehe, I only have a couple but luckily I have a set of the TRU Nightforce figures, I got a quote of about £90 for 6 custom cases, problem I have is that if I had £90 i'd rather spend it on more toys :) My main problem is not being able to display them, if they were in a showcase then I'd probably justify the ££ way more. They do look great though!

They really do make even mediocre figures look great! I love my cases! I had the same dilemma as you Graham - my cases cost me over a grand last year! But I bit the bullet and saved and went with it, and I'm really pleased I did - they make the figures look like a collection. And I know that if ever I have to put the collection away they are well protected!!

Nice items T'SHot! Is it that you just have figures that mean something to you? Or am I looking into it too deeply and it's a matter "when I see a bargain I can't resist"?

Very Nice Eddie. The cases do make a huge difference.
