I've been looking at the Billy Bookcases with Glass Doors for my collection. Any cons? What are the names of the smaller cabinets? Thanks! Yes, these are the billy cases...I love them. They only come off the wall about 11 inches...do not take up a ton of space and give you a nice, clean look. I love them, get compliments constantly. They are perfect for my Bowen statue and bust collection as well as Hot Toys figures. The smaller glass display cases are called Fabrikor...they are IKEA as well and come in two different shapes. I love them, they lock and have a nice clean look to them. archiecomicscollector and Buzzetta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or how big is the space between shelves? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the large Billy (the tall bookcase), the shelves are adjustable with the exception of the middle shelf. This is to ensure the bookcase retains some rigidity.

It brings it up to a good height and isn't too wide. It has wheels that go sideways so we can get to the other side. ADAMANTIUM 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally don't know of anyone getting this for Christmas. I remember thinking the terror dome was the coolest when it came out but the biggest Joe item I got for Christmas was the Mobile Command Center "MCC" that I recently found in my grandmas attic. It was trashed, but if you look closely at the ship I reused parts and panels from the MCC after painting them for the Flagg. Kind of a cool way to give it new life.

I feel like this came up once before or maybe it was on other forums, but my dad had a shed converted to a home office in the back yard, and he assembled the FLAGG in parts over several days, then christmas morning after midnight he brought all the pieces over to the house and put them together in the living room. They somehow managed to get up before my sister and I and mom waited with her camera for me to come into the room and see it. Still have the photo. And yes I sold it for peanuts at a yard sale when we moved years later. Although I did have a bunch of Garbage Pail Kids stickers on it which I'm sure would have hurt its resale value.

Growing up my Dad had a second job at department store. He used to bring us toys all the time that were either returned or opened buying them at a fraction of the shelf price. So for example he still laughs when he tells us that he brought home the GI Joe Skystriker for 25 cents because someone had opened it at the store. In fact this was standard practice for many retailers to damage items out or sell them at a deep discount to employees when I worked retail in college. So the practice was still in existence around twenty years ago. On top of that employees routinely had access to things that the general public did not. My Dad and other employees stashed Cabbage Patch dolls when they were the hottest thing and I remember he brought one home to my mom one year as a gift. Anyway, my brother and I did really bad things growing up. We were good students but did really mischievous things sometimes like just running around the house like a bunch of uncontrollable monsters. Christmas of 1986 my Dad supposedly got one at a deep discount as well as a Nintendo. Supposedly Mom was dead against it because of how big it was so they were looking for ane excuse. They both have said that it was supposed to go in the basement. Either way, my mom and dad were to give it to my brother and I to share as well as the Nintendo and that would have been all we got for Christmas. My brother and I screwed up again or didn't listen or something and they returned the Flagg and the Nintendo. We got other things that Christmas and we eventually got the Nintendo for the next Christmas of 1987. I remember that well because of the school year. We never got the Flagg. bane and STORMSHADOW_80 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great memories for both you and your family that must have been fun to play with as a child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
