Mystery Minis Storage Ideas

Great things come in mysterious miniature or pint sized packages, but which great thing will it be? It's all a mystery until you open one. Then the fun begins.

Mystery Minis Storage Ideas

Postby Gorbachev76 » Sun Sep 13, 2015 6:11 pm

OK, now that my collection of various mystery minis is increasing by the week, I was wondering how do some of you store your extras or figures that you have no space for any more.

Is there a good box to buy for them? Is there something to display them in?

I know Amazon has some display cases you can buy for POP!s, so maybe some of you are using those?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

A lot of people use the shot glass display case available at Michaels. I use Copco cupboard 3-tier shelves. Some use acrylic tiered shelves from the container store. Really depends on what you're looking for.

Sounds good. I will check my nearby Michael's to see what they have.

I know for some action figures, back in the day, some people used fishing tackle boxes and stuff like that.

The shot glass display case is like $50 so probably not a good solution just to store extra minis. If you're going to display them, that's another story. Wait until Michael's has a 50% sale or a BOGO sale, though.

For display, I have a few display cases $9.99 each from The Container Store: http://www.containerstore.com/s/multi-l ... &q=display case I stack them on top of each other. I need to get more.

I also have bought from TJMaxx/Marshalls/Homegoods, a lacquered drawer organizer than had 3 squares. It can display 2 minis per section. I like them, though the only drawback is no cover so you'd need to dust. I use them at my office.

For non-display doubles, I put them back in their packaging and label them, then they go into a large storage container. I really need to go through and make a list so I can get rid of them.

Thanks! The containers sold on Amazon are similar to the ones from the Container Store in your link. Probably where the Amazon sellers get them.

I will check those out.
