I ordered my first Moducases in Oct of 2022 and then a second order around Feb '23 when I realized I wanted more. As of June of 2024 they are all finally built. They look incredible in my office. And I'm really happy with the result. HOWEVER, there are issues for sure. You have to PLAN PLAN PLAN with these. I like powering all of my battery operated LEDs with fusion reactors/soap reactors so wiring everything was a bit of a nightmare. Making sure to wire for figures while I constructed the display was important. Knowing EXACTLY what I planned to display where and what to future proof was paramount. Having said that, by the time I got to the last section of my display I had trained my brain to think with those parameters in mind and the last stretch of building out the display was easy. Build times are annoying. It took me weeks to get everything built up. There were a few damaged/missing pieces and Moduspace customer service took good care of me and got me the pieces asap. While I waited it helped me figure out planning since I had some units to install in the meantime so it worked out. I'll tell you one thing though...moving is gonna suck.
I'm firmly in the Moducase camp, but I can't fault anyone with DIY solutions. Putting Moducases together is a pain if you don't have patience. I think I've been lucky having properly sized parts, and have had no issues with assembly...aside from the normal frustrations! I never went with the Detolf display crowd and much of my collection was waiting for a proper display case to come along for YEARS. Moducase was an investment in my collection, and everyone who sees it remarks how clean and professional it looks, along with making my collection look like I spent thousands of dollars on it...oh wait, I did!
I wish I could comment on the quality of them …BUT I ordered in Feb of 2023….its May 31 2024 and still nowhere in site.They send an update about every 6 -8 months and there is always some kind of delay .The communication with customers is almost non existent.The best part is they introduce new products but can’t deliver the existing products in a reasonable amount of time.They have no problem asking about the balance that’s owed to them though.As you can tell I’m not overly enthusiastic about this company.
It has come to my attention that some have expressed that they feel this was a hit piece on Moduspace. It’s nothing of the sort. I’m a happy customer and I’m happy with the product. I only meant to point out some obstacles in the journey of ordering, receiving and building my Moduspace displays. This was my personal experience. Again like I said in the video the customer service is great and the product is good but it isn’t perfect. I just sought to help collectors make an informed purchase and let them know it isn’t the only option. No product is one size fits all. In the end your collection is your collection and how you display it is a personal decision. Thank you for all the positive feedback in the comments.
Moducase owner here, you completely spoke the truth and owning them isn't for the faint of heart! It won't solve all your problems, but it makes your collection look great and keeps 'em dust free. All the pain and waiting I've dealt with is worth it by not having to dust my figures anymore!
@@YodaPagoda I appreciate it. Dust was a major factor in my decision to purchase moducases. They are very effective at keeping your collection dust free.
Being able to buy as you go and meet your needs as they come up should be a given. The fact that they don't carry stock is a problem. A popular product will sell out, but never having stock is a turnoff to people. I will probably place an order at some point, but I hope by then the wait time is drastically reduced.
I was going to order these until I saw them in person last year. They're just extruded aluminum with particle board, thin acrylic, and poorly done lighting/wiring. I was not impressed, considering how expensive these are. Also, the wait time (after they said they were improving this) is unacceptable. The company is poorly run re:manufacturing, and they need to improve. Good customer service will only get you so far, and only applies when you finally get them. Easy pass.
I love them, delay was in a situation that my friends and family thought it was a scam and no one belived that i would actually get them.( Covid and overall situation in the world.) I made the order october 2021 , got them march 2023. Assembling went easier after 3rd one, then you start to have a system, (I have 12 pieces of sixth110 and 6 sixth55) I felt like it was easier to go with moducase, since i just moved and everything was in boxes anyway. I do enjoy very clean aesthetic that they offer and i felt that with DIY solution i would not have been able to make it that way, now if i would need additional ones i would perhaps order from some handyman in my area instead of waiting for a really long time.
Totally agree with you. I have one ikea glass case I bought on marketplace for $40 and rest of my figures are on floating shelves or display cabinets I got on Amazon. I dust once a week. Not that big of a deal. Informative video. Thanks
Everything you guys said here needs to be considered. For me, I was gonna stick with Detolfs. I had my one little Detolf and about 11 figures last year around March when I decided I needed something bigger because I had gotten into vehicles. At the time, I was gonna have just two Batmobiles, and I had maybe 14 figures on PO. I don't prefer the look of the large shelf display, but...vehicles. I didn't wanna build a Kosta Case because I didn't wanna make it look trashy and drag my collection down, so I decided to go with Moducases cuz, well, look at them. I knew about the long wait and had been hearing that they were whittling it down to 6-8 months...which is what they had told me when I emailed them. I decided to go with one of their off the rack options which fit my wall and future plans nicely, would have given me room to grow. However, during the 6 months I was told to expect, I added a third Batmobile...ordered the Batwing...added 10 more figures to my PO list and bought another 15 or so from the releases last year. By the time my cases were expected to arrive, I had just about outgrown them. But then they got pushed back a couple of months...which I was fine with, I could hold out a while longer as my lone Detolf started bursting at the seems. I was expecting the cases to ship around December, when I got an email saying that their warehouse had suffered water damage from a faulty sprinkler system...and it would set my order back at least another 6 months. I decided that I could hold out...I wasn't mad or anything, and I really wanted a nice professional looking display to level up my collection. But as the POs became releases and my 1 vehicle became 2 and I was waiting on the third, I just couldn't wait anymore. So I emailed customer service to cancel my order and just build a Kosta Case after all. And they were great about it, refunded my full cost and then I was set to get my new build underway. But yeah, my whole collection plan changed rapidly and the wait was just no longer feasible...but also, the reduction in cost by going with a DIY allowed me to better manage my PO payments and make an unexpected purchase that I hadn't expected to find so soon. But the garage racks are more flexible in terms of sizing and shelf adjustment...I can make my shelf space whatever size I want within the confines of my racks on a whim...doesn't seem like that would be very possible with the Moducases. And there are fewer pieces to put together. I know when I have to move, I'll be much happier taking these racks apart and rebuilding them later over the course of just a couple of hours with no screws or small parts needed. Won't look as polished as a Moducase...but the racks I have look damn good enough with the lights turned on.
I waited nearly 3 years to get mine. The cases are good but holy f is the wait time atrocious. If you do decide get some, make sure to BUY EVERYTHING AT ONCE so you never have to deal with the process again.
Great video! Carlito’s display looks awesome 👍🏻 Personally the lead time kills it for me, and I’d rather spend the money on figures. So for me I prefer the trusty detolf, I like the glass shelves with detolfs and also they’re not as deep which suits my collection space. If I moved to a bigger collecting space I’d definitely consider moduspace or something similar - probably the muscle rack idea that you’ve done because I think they look equally as great 👌🏻🔥
I agree with Carlos and my experience with them is very similar. I will say is the bars can be bought from various companies who cut them to size and tap the screws so you can make replica Moducases yourself if you don’t want to wait that long.
I used them overrated detolfs for a while, but as time went by used the same method Dean Knight has in his room shelfs and good lighting in my collection room and I get the "oh but that's too much dusting" but that for me is curating the collection itself and it theraputic to clean up my toys. Sometimes people forget simplicity, shelfs have space I need, shapes, and sizes for multiple or single figures. And congratulations🎉🎉🎉 on the new 1/4 scale😎 acquisition.
I got my order after 11 months, and to my surprise everything right down to the last nut was packaged. Nothing was missing in my order. As Carlos said, the trick is to plan ahead, I also had to make an adjustment to my order because I realized I needed more cabinets to store my stuff. I guess that's one of the good things about the long wait, you can make changes if you have to. After building the first couple of units, you develop a routine and it is not as bad. It's not hard, but it is a tedious process. I'm more than ecstatic with the way my display turned out. It is a little costly but well worth it. I would like to see a better image of yourself made cabinets before I can give a true opinion
Thank you so much for your feedback, I do have a video that shows more in-depth breakdown of my Homebuilt muscle racks and it outlines all the materials I use in a more in-depth matter if interested
Did you just order stock sizes? Any thoughts on how you got them so fast? I've ordered stock sizes and it's been about 6 months. So you're story has given me some hope lol
I waited 11 months for my first order to arrive. I ordered another set of cases; it'll be interesting to see how long this will take. After having built 2 DF120s for the first time, the last two were a breeze. Took about 15 minutes each to assemble for the last two. I initially considered detolfs but Moducase was the way to go.
@@davidbate2831 mine came totally dismantled too. As I posted above, after having assembled 2 display cases, assembling the other two were easy as I didn't even have to look at the instruction manual. It isn't impossible.
Great video. I agree on the “build your own cases” as well. Just wondering where you got all your supplies to do that? They look fantastic! I’m in detolfs at the moment but looking to make an affordable display change this spring! Cheers
i just received my cube and i build them by myself. The worst part is the wait. They could be more transparent with the waiting time before the order was made.
I just watched your video on the muscle racks. You did a great job and they can easily be mistaken for Moducase. My only thing is I want to have dust protection for my figures with the plexiglass. Other than that, what a great cost-effective way to display your collection
I will be eventually moving my collection room down to my basement within the next few months that being said, I will be adding plexiglass to the cases
That’s 100% fair. The muscle rack has a lot more variables when it comes to expenses, depending on how far the collector themselves want to take the actual build so it can be costly depending on the features and design.
I have one DF60 and really regret it. No PF figures fit and the lights burnt out on me . After going with the garage shelves I couldn’t be happier, done everything on the cheap. Got mine used of of FB marketplace for $50 bucks a piece but the main thing I love is being able to have the 24”x36”x48” option huge game changer as far as display options.
As we have mentioned, there are numerous display options for each collector and their specific circumstances, the muscle rack really is a fantastic option. If you are a do it yourself person and don’t mind putting a little elbow grease into the build.
Lots of good options out there. But Moducases are my favorite. I just placed my 3rd order to finish off my room. Yes, the lead time sucks. But they are amazing and worth every penny to me.
That’s great to hear. I’m glad that you’ve had success with them. No criticism whatsoever I know just as many people that I’ve had fantastic experiences like yourself. That’s great to hear!
Moducases look great IMO but let's be honest most of us collectors are always changing things around and mixing up scales and sizes. So for me I'll be going with the custom muscle rack build just for the simple fact that I can change the shelves around to adjust and for growth.
I 100% agree with you that is one thing I do feel is overlooked a lot of times with the long wait for the mod cases is that our collections are always changing and expanding and I feel the muscle rack is better adaptive measure
They spend your money the moment you pay on "R&D" and other "miscellaneous costs". The waiting part comes down to human nature, particularly in industries like construction/manufacturing. Once the builder's paid, there's no longer much incentive to finish, and you're no longer a priority. Their time and "their" money is better spent on getting more new customers through the door, especially with new product lines.

Quick question do you pay in full amount or is it like hot toys that you pre order and then you pay when they ship ?
Both, if depends on the figure and the price of it.

Nope unfortunately not
