Yeah, I use spice racks. There's a 3 shelf white one (I forget the brand) that extends to cover almost an entire Billy shelf. I spray paint them black and they're good to go. Is it white with like a grey rubberized surface on each tier? If so, it's probably Copco cause I've seen they make those. Yes, that's it! |

How much are these? I know detolfs are popular as well and look nice, but I’m not spending $130 on a shelf when my $35 one from Walmart works just fine lol
I remember when detolfs were like $70

Stole the idea for ring ropes from someone else's display I saw online a while ago. Got these two bookcases a while back via Facebook marketplace - blue one was like $20 and the red one was being given away. Don't even know if Ikea sell coloured ones like this anymore or not, but they seemed perfect.
The ring ropes makes this that more epic. Especially that you use the different styles of color rope. |

Wasn't overly difficult to do, just finding the right coloured elastic for the ropes was a bit of hunting. The added benefit is if there's a tumble, they hold the figures in the display! |

I get mine at Hobby Lobby if you have one where you're at. |

Detolfs used to be like $70 I think but they shot up to $130 due to Ikea recognizing their popularity with collectors and getting greedy. |

I use IKEA besta shelves and would highly recommend. They’re a bit deeper than Billy.  I love the WM3 setup. |

That's insane wow. If I could fit an entire elite scale ring on a shelf that would be a game changer. Didn't even consider the besta -- thank you! Are the shelves that the rings are sitting on native to the besta or did you add those on? They do fit on but overhang by 1/4 so I added some slim shelf extensions so it was sitting on something. I used the IKEA Skadis pegboard which worked really well. Can I ask which Besta shelves they are? Seems to be a lot in the range, are they the wall mounted cabinets? |
