I figured we would need more space for the new figures so I went ahead and built a new stand. Finally found a use for my Dark Swap Force Poster. I upgraded from about 24" wide to 30", made it taller too with more shelves (was only 4 before). I want to put the elemnt signs on those circles, but I want stickers with good contrast, printing it out on paper myself just never looked strong enough.

No matter how much space you make, it will never be enough. I entertained the thought about buying multiple glass cases but decided to "retire" each year's figure in the PowerA adventure cases (( have nine of them) and just use the display case for "this year's figures".

RIP GhostRoaster. He's reanimated as TakeYourLemons but occasionally is resurrected from the beyond when needed. |

I've actually started retiring figures to my son's collection...he's too rough on the figures (3 yrs) to let play with the newer ones. I get a bit...anal about it.
But I'm already anticipating 'not' getting all the figures this time, and I figure the next iteration, I'll get fewer and fewer, so I'm not 'too' worried about 'toy creep'. My last stand I knew was too small when I made it (I had to add more shelves right after I finished). TBH, I'd LOVE to do a trophy display case, but with a 3yr and a new one on the way, I don't trust anything conceptually that fragile. I also don't have the money haha. - Unreall |

I made different shelves, painted them different elemental colours and put them in the 'rock paper scissors' order. I can just extend the length of the shelves, no problem

I've got a bit of room left for Trap Team, this year I'm doing things differently, in the past I only got 1 pose of a skylander and didn't get variants (unless I really liked the skylander) but this year I am gonna get variants and reposes.
I display my Skylanders on my Desk: And then put Magic items, Adventure Packs and Traps in the drawer underneath the desk: |

Wow, thanks for the reminder!
My rolling cabinet I use only had 3 Shelves, 1 for each game! I might build a shelf under my bed (I have a very tall bed which I can use or storage underneath.)

I have a skylanders shelf sorted by element and all the swappers are at the top of the shelf. Once I get Trap Team, I'm going to put all the swappers in their matching element group and make room for the trap masters at the top. I would like to collect all the trap masters.

Favorite skylanders of each element: |

Yeah, TRU was selling some of their SAS accessories at ridiculously good prices. I got the zip up thing that cna fit all original 32 in it for like $4 I just get real picky about how things are setup - I'm pseudo-OCD, So I'd go crazy if I had to 'hunt' down a figure. While working on it, I had all the figures in the purple bin at the bottom of the picture. Of course the head to my Mini-jini popped off being in there *sad*. - Unreall |

Well I'm just screwed. Probably gonna take down my Giants display, move my SWAP Force figures to the Giants display, and move the Trap Team figures where the SWAP Force display is.

It's all about the Artbin storage bins. I need to buy more of those and I have plenty of shelf space to display the variants. Although, my space will be a little more crowded when I include the Marvel super-heroes from DI 2.0.
