Finally found a way to make this figure look "small". Here is a WIP photo of my new display.

Now that's what I'm talking about!! Looks great, love the way it conforms to the desk

Thanks! Yes, LED strips along the front of every shelf, hidden behind a small trim piece so you don't have the lights shining in your eyes when standing in front of it.

We were originally going to build it as a closed in case, but now that i have the shelves mounted, I'm really liking the look of the floating shelves. I used a 2x4 screwed into the wall studs, then used 1x4s for the frame and 1x3s inside for support. The 1x boards are SO much lighter than 2x4s. No additional support is really needed.

I started a thread for the project here if you care to follow along:

Nothing to keep out the dust?

No, I'm not an anti-dust person. I much prefer the open look. I was going for something similar to this (on the right side):

Except it won't have dividers and I'm probably not using puck lights.

Looking good so far COF. But is that a Rulk I seen on your PC desk?

Now THAT's a man-cave!!!

I have a hulk on display and I have the closet space
$100-$200 profit, I'm not sure if its possible, as I am new to collecting
But
I do see older figures going for higher prices and I do have time on my side
There are people that can't afford him now that will be able to later
Maybe I'm over selling myself on the figure or underestimating the hot toys company to always make better and better but a $100 return is 25% return for some closet space

With current economic conditions being the way they are, I have way too much money in the bank doing nothing(might be buying more investment properties)

If you ebay it for $500 down the road, there gunna charge you fifty bucks in fees. Then you'll pay at least $20 in shipping fees. Plus you have to worry about ebayer buyers. Soft rubber holds up poorly when compared to plastic and cloth. If you store it in too hot or too damp a temperature, your gunna get a nasty email from your ebay buyer requesting a return. Plus there are manufacturer paint issues, as well as joints that don't ratchet but just snap violently. Then you might get a ebayer buyer asking you for a partial refund.

However, if you sell at the right time, probably a month before the release of avengers 2, you might get more than $500.

^correction, damp is not a temperature.

I'm thinking the same thing, that's going to be an enormous chore to keep clean.

 

[yojoe]

Unless you have some serious central air or a ceiling fan going 24/7 to keep the dust at bay.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

why would those two things help? both move the air around depositing dust all over the place in my experience...

 

[yojoe]

Just keep your air filters new. I don't have a dust problem because of it.
I also keep myself from flaking by using lotion and dandruff shampoo
Hahaha

Seriously.

 

[BilboBilly]

I have central AC and ceiling fans and change the filters monthly. The dust is an enormous chore as it seems that it gathers seconds after it's been wiped clean. The entire system in less than 3 years old.

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Ceiling fans and central air don't keep dust at bay.

 

[yojoe]

Moisturize people!!!

 

[yojoe]

Lol

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

[yojoe]
