All you have to do is take a regular kitchen cabinet spice organizer, shown here:

Load it up with minis, and voila! You have a cheap and very effective way of showing off your scaled replicas. :D

Doing this will cost you about $5 (not including the minis ;) ). You can find spice organizers at most grocery stores or even Wal-Mart and Target. It's cheaper than buying several MR mini display stands. With one of these, you can show off nine minis or more, as opposed to MR's, which only hold three minis. I'm planning to remove the soft plastic portions of the stand and paint the entire thing black sometime. :)
For those who don't want to spend $5, I'll save you some money. At Dollar Tree, you can find some of these mini shelves for... you guessed it... $1! You just have to be willing to make two holes in your wall to hold them up. ;)

They hold approximately two mini sabers... you can put three, but it looks a bit crowded.

Whatever you do, you'll be sure to save some cash, and at the same time, proudly display your minis. :)

Awesome display
-
great idea...thanks for sharing
-
that is a really good idea. The only advantage I see with the MR cases is the acrylic cover. I would hate to have to wipe of all those minis if they get dusty lol
-
The way I keep my mini from getting all dusty is I put it in the case for my LE.
-
sweet idea! thx
-
I was looking around for one of those spice racks for the same purpose just the other day. But I was looking for something small enough to fit in a 1:18 car case.
As far as the minis getting dusty, I recommend one of the Pledge Duster Plus wands, they get into all the small details without leaving any kind of residue on the minis.

Great display Ayala ;D.
-
That spice organizer is cool. How did you come up with that? Looks a lot better than the cardboard steps covered with cloth I made.
-
Can you post a pic DM

Those dusters work very well. I got to try one when I was at my mom's house last week. Plus they're easy to use.
-
Nicely done...
-
It must be a pretty small duster..........
-
ahaha!!! ;) :)
-
wow that is a really great saber stand !!
They should make a custom one like that ;)
-
Why don't you just buy one?
-
lol.....old ani104...always has the obvious answers..lol ;)
-
Thats me ;D.
-
:D yup it is! this really is a cool idea aayla! nobel prize good!
-
:D yup it is! this really is a cool idea aayla! nobel prize good!
:D
Thank you. I'm still thinking of painting it black to better match the mini stands. :)
-
i think its great the way it is!
-
Post pics when you have finished painting ;)
-
You bet. I'm not sure when I'll be doing it though... I don't really have the time or money to do it right now, so it probably won't be for a matter of months when I'm able to get around to it and do it right.
-
no prob, i think it looks cool as it is. ;D
-
I would advis that you get a spray can, that way you can get a nice consistent layer that isn't to thick ;)
-
but wear a breathing mask, those particles are really bad for your lungs. They have been known to cause Asthma
-
Well, obviously you wouldn't do that without protection ;)
-
obviously, lol. you'd be surprised at all the people who are careless. ;)
-
I've spray painted without a mask :-\
-
Don't worry, it shouldn't do to much harm to you ;)
-
Don't worry, it shouldn't do to much harm to you ;)
not too much...but still some. any harm is bad...;D
-
There's nothing wrong with me, so I guess it can't be bad
-
it adds up man.
-
huh?
-
all the bad effects of what that stuff if doing to you adds up. In school we had to learn about the effects of these things. A kid died from inhailing air freshener, so the particles of the spray paint is definitely harming your system weather you see it or not.
-
After 2 years I really doubt it
-
*Whispering to toos behind DS's back* "See he's going nuts already" :-\
J/K ;)
Anyway, lets stay on the topic ;)
-
lol yeah ;)
-
i like those black wall-mounted shelves!! very nice
Darth Bane
-
yeah, they look sturdy
-
How is the painting progressing Aayla?
-
Like I said, I probably won't be doing that for some time to come. I don't have paint or the time and money to do that right now. :P
In fact, I regret to say I may have to part with a good portion of my minis collection since finances are super tight right now. I need all the money I can get to pay my bills and summer tuition and other necessities.
-
woah! ok then. How much are you selling your mini's for and which ones? please make a topic in this room...i'd be interested. ;) ;D
-
It's not 100% yet, but it looks like it's going to have to happen. I love my minis and I really don't want to part with them, but unfortunately the fact of the matter is that I have a lot of things that I need to pay for right now. Selling my minis would help me out a good deal... at least selling a good amount of them. If I do decide to sell them I'll probably say so tomorrow in here and make a thread in the Lightsabers forum, which will say how much I'm looking to sell them for. I will say this, though... if I sell them they'll be pretty cheap.
-
Didn't you win a gold mini in the latest MR trivia?. I 'm sure you could get a bit for that :)
Anyway, I'm really sorry that you are in this situation. Is there anything else you can do/sell?
-
lazbum won the mini, I won the hat. :)
There's not much else I can sell really... I have a lot of DVDs and CDs but most places won't give you more than a dollar or two, after you've paid at least $15 for it.
-
Oh, well once again, I am sorry about your situation :(
-
Thank you
