Which CMF series or minifig collection should I do next??

@lexoxo25 Жыл бұрын

I definitely recommend series 4 and 5!

@adam_brickstreetboy Жыл бұрын

The marvel ones

@ninjakatherine Жыл бұрын

Looney Tunes? That's a series that doesn't have any sets to display with them. Would make a good minifig-only display.

What I allways do is have my minifigs (yes even rare ones) posed around my shelves fighting,eating,hanging out,fighting again,and even fighting (yes my lego starwars collection is mostly war without the star) I think it’s the most fun to do and plus you can creatively put them in your other sets buildings and ships

Hobby Lobby has similar clear plastic cases with a transparent base. Main benefit is that these relatively cheaper plastic cases keep the LEGO minifigures dust free.

@ABrickDreamer Жыл бұрын

That looks great, thanks for the tips👍🏽 There is actually a lot of space for creativity in displaying minifigs. I like to brick build a tiny scene around the minifigure, once I got a 2$ display case, it fits 8 minifigs with each their own little “habitat”

@joe1205 Жыл бұрын

I don't know the company but I own a case which is a similar size to this which has studs on the base and two smaller baseplate things which stack on top. I'm currently displaying all my batman figures in there.

I saw this video when you first released it, then like a week later I went to the Lego store and they have a container store in the same mall, so I decided to go grab some of these displays to give this a try! I came back to this video again to find some templates, and I see that you linked the creator’s website where more templates are available. Thanks for sharing this! I’m off to download some templates now!

Kmart Australia sells this exact thing but with really good gripping knock off lego studs and for 15 AUD. It means that its cheaper and comes with pre prepared studs. That’s what I use but this is cool as well. (It’s also light grey so if you hate brighter colours this isn’t for you.)

@carculis9207 Жыл бұрын

A great way I store Minifigures is I take a tictac box and make sure its empty then take off the top (which is tricky) then put the Minifigure inside and close it then display it on a shelf. However it will not work for Minifigures with large accessories like back packs, certain armors

I hang them on a baseplate with the minifigure frames. It supports 5 rows of 5 for a total of 25 mini figures. Usually enough for a cmf. Some times I can squeeZe in 6 in a row as I. The case of my iron men suits and Batman suits. for 30 figures

I didn’t know minifig displaying was such a big thing. Not that I have a huge collection, but the ones I do have collected I just sprinkle randomly into any of the Lego buildings/sets I have, make them apart of the little Lego world. Does make it so you gotta look to find them but I like making them do random stuff throughout Lego street lol.

Great video! I have brick-built display stands for my figures and I've found that this works well whilst saving a lot of money - my stands use the 3x4 plates from the CMF line for each figure. I use cheap bulky parts (supports, old printed bricks, window frames etc) from bricklink for the inside of the structure, which also saves a lot. Haven't found a case the right size for my stands though so they need dusting regularly

Not sure how much of a silly goose you like to be when you're getting crafty, but a paper trimmer could be a good option for you when you want to cut out a lot of things like that quickly and neatly. You can pick one up for like 30 bucks at target, or you can get some pretty serious ones for more depending on how froggy you're feeling.
