Have 2 of these cases.. they came out last year! Bloody brilliant for LEGO minifigures! 🙌🏻 I use the minifigure base plates for each figure as well before they go on the 'non lego' studs in the display case 👍🏻

[@michaeloffen7513]

They do work well

[@SuperMunkeh]

I noticed these on Smyths the other day when browsing the Lego.
Think I'll grab one after seeing this review - cheers for the good content 👍

[@RetroToyMan]

@@SuperMunkeh thanks. I just bought a 2nd one to put above this one.

These exact units are sold by Kmart in Australia under their Anko brand. We only pay A$42 or about £21. They’re great for displaying HotWheels cars. Buy 2x2 blocks and a 2x4 plate and you can mount additional cars above the base layers.

[@RetroToyMan]

@@gregf4170 that's a great price. Usually the prices in Australia are alot more that here in the UK.

[@2Horrible]

This is great. Honestly I would replace all of the plates with official lego plates because they might be slightly bigger then lego studs. Otherwise great case.

Thank you, this is a really helpful video :)

Nice review! Where did that smaller case that has the astromech droids in it?

[@RetroToyMan]

@@RMCC54321 I got it from Temu

I bought two for my Cobi minifigs. These travel to military shows with us so that we can exhibit the minifigs that aren't roaming the dioramas.
I've got about 200 troops in each case..

[@RetroToyMan]

@@billyskoda6839 that's alot of figs. I managed to fit about 160 so far. Need to re arrange.

[@billyskoda6839]

@RetroToyMan I set three in a column, then overlap another three alongside, one stud across. Forms a mesh style pattern. It's not an issue when the majority are infantry or Panzer crews, rather than unique minifigs..
You try storing 350 ww2 models of 1:28 and similar.. 🤣

[@RetroToyMan]

@@billyskoda6839 yer those other cases take up alot of space. I will definitely try something like your way to make use of the space and the height on each shelf.

I have 2 of these and I replaced all the 6x14 plates with new ones from Lego Pick A Brick which was eye-wateringly expensive. I do find the LED lights a bit too bright TBH but overall they are ok 👍👍

[@RetroToyMan]

@@philliprushton4217 yes I agree a bit to bright. Maybe some scotch tape would act as a defuser and reduce the glare. I may change out the base plates yet.

[@SecretOfMonkeyIsland784]

Its a shame they didnt make these with the ability to have a flat (non-studded) side to the base plate so they could be used by any toy collector and not just Lego. My nephew uses his for storing Hot Wheels in and id like to use them to store Monster In My Pocket figures but they wouldnt stand well on bumpy studs.

[@RetroToyMan]

You could cover the studs with smooth Lego or compatible plates.

W Video!

Hi

[@MISSDELUCA]

Hi will it hold Lego train track

[@RetroGadgetMan]

No unfortunately. It is not wide enough.

[@secretasianman3541]

Is there a way I can get these in the U.S.?

[@RetroToyMan]

@@secretasianman3541 have you had a look in Walmart or you local big chain toy store. They are available in Australia so I bet they are in the US
