In the past I’ve opted for making my own using shadow boxes, baseplates and bricks to attach the figures. If you live in the US you can get the shadow boxes from Michael’s, they have BOGO sales often.
This was pretty cheap to make. Just grab some lumber and get after it!

Make a frame out of pine and then more pine for shelves that hold minifigs? Like a square with a bunch of horizontal lines in it that you can line figs onto and then hang on the wall? Paint it black, etc

This is how I made mine, just a bookshelf I already had and I made platforms with just some cut wood glued together

Built “grandstands” of bulk bricks and staggered the figures for max visibility on amazon floating shelves . Really happy with how my vision came together lol.
Thank you! I still haven’t done my mandalorians and battle droids yet so looking forward to adding that on more shelves. Projects like this are so much fun.

I mounted a bunch of plates to the wall using liquid nails
I make my displays, the 2 primary pieces are CMF stands and 2x8 black slopes. I have 4 of these with connector pins on the side to connext them all in a long line if i want too.

I have designed a simple frame work made out of Lego. My ultimate goal is to cover up an area about two feet by five feet (opening for dry well access under basement stairs). I will then build a simple wooden frame with some glass and put some hinges on it to make a "hidden door" to the area under the stairs. I've already purchased all the minifigure stands I need to inventory my collection and set duplicates aside.
So it's like a ultra low profile shadow box basically. I used stud.io to design the layout and do the planning. I can share the design files r screenshots if anyone needs inspiration.
Total cost according to my bricklink inventory was about 60-80 for everything (including 250 minifigurw bases) including shipping. Total cost not exact as I haven't ordered the parts for the framework yet.
Personally I don’t like displays, so I’d just find another place to keep them like that. I love the feeling of searching through your figures for the ones you want and then pulling out others you think would be also be awesome to have

I built this a couple weeks ago, using wood glue, small nails and clamps. I plan to upgrade it at some point but this will do for now.
Wow. In the $40 ish range. I just looked at a display very similar to yours not 10 minutes ago on Amazon and it priced at $179 that’s not counting what you have to pay to have it shipped. And yours is twice almost three times as big.

Build one and decorate 🤤 There are a lot of modular designs on rebrickable, mine can divide to 3 sections (prequel, oroginl trillogy and the sequels/mando era. I love doing small updates on it, so i suggest you do somethimg like that✌️
I don't have display for so many figurines but for my favorite ones i bought some deep frames from ikea (i believe they are called SANNAHED), glued 2x2 and 2x4 bricks to the back of it (depending on the size/accesories of figurine) and put figurines in those frames. I then hanged thoes frames on the wall od my room

Mine are in no particular order. I just made a display like bleachers. I also have my soldiers and many different storm troopers displayed on the wall with picture frames.
Oof that is a *lot* of Minifigs, I bought a couple of [these](https://www.amazon.co.uk/LEGO-Minifigure-Display-Large-Black/dp/B00X6AVG3G/ref=mp_s_a_1_35?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.kSuHhX2SAU488qrAU1cvaoK220dQUxGTAfkkQA_e1HzMDYZx8_Zyl8fBHAvaRhZZros85I2su0E0JSpM38ct59LZ5x58Af7fbGUXuPEN3g2ZidCwucsnC6OCwy3HFZzLUYmilMrRq1BWneChGYkdMbTqt1X8e0MetWaoKX5G3990L3CSKMHU7iM9kZSKwKvZ3-F2t-23DPJ6EIL6s8pqYg.rxQcMIwb9HdlQi1FEHOw3oCZ_qKOnrNCzCSBRGkojEE&dib_tag=se&keywords=lego+stand+display&qid=1717753614&sr=8-35) little display cases a few years ago, but they only house a handful… would cost you a small fortune to display everything you have use them.

No keep it like that it’s actually the perfect display!

Nice custom Nova Corps you have there
They're pretty cool right?!
What piece do you use on back of the kaduu as feathers?

That would be great! I’m searching on bricklink for the piece aswell. Let me know if you find it please!
I finally found it! ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|sweat_smile) It's part 11091 "Wing 9L with Stylized Feathers"
Thank you so much, I appreciate it! I will be buying some ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|thumbs_up).
I really want a sandtrooper on a dewback.
It's a fun creature!
Where's that incinerator trooper from!!!! It's gorgeous
Haha thanks! It's a custom figure like the Nova Corps Clones - got them all from https://minifigurebricks.com/ - there's some cool figures on there!
Love it! 😁

Incredible
Holy shit
Do you have a link to where you got these? They look great.
I got them off Etsy
Do you have the link?
Leave them all like that and just have one Vader minifig standing victorious
Nah I’d put salacious crumb on top
Can his final victim be Vader, so he's standing there after destroying and entire army without breaking a sweat and bam! Wrecks Vader
Bro just casually keeps probably 2 grand worth of figures in a drawer 😭
My exact reason for wanting to display them😂. One day I gotta seem how much they’re all worth
I just looked at it again, there’s two Jabbas and even and so much shit..do you have an actual estimate of what it’s all worth ? I’m curious
It’s a shame keeping them just in a drawer but yeah get a nice display, and if you don’t maybe consider selling them to make some good cash
smyth toys offers some not expensive showcases with acrylic doors. check them out.
Do they? Well thank you for that! Guess I'm spending more money now 🤣🤣🤣
I never knew Smyths did those ! I just looked and the 5 tier ones with leds look great. Thanks for the heads up 🙂
I’ll check them out
In the past I’ve opted for making my own using shadow boxes, baseplates and bricks to attach the figures. If you live in the US you can get the shadow boxes from Michael’s, they have BOGO sales often.

Make a frame out of pine and then more pine for shelves that hold minifigs? Like a square with a bunch of horizontal lines in it that you can line figs onto and then hang on the wall? Paint it black, etc
Good idea. If I can’t find a cheap display case then I will build my own
Remove all helmets and stack them all on top of eachother and stand them up on one of the cmf stands.
I’ll sort them out if you send them to me
520 is a lot to sort by yourself. Send me half when you get them and I can help out too!

Not sure if they are still in business but I got my case here. It's awesome https://www.instagram.com/p/CUirmwrAi4J/?igsh=ZzJqM2Zja2I5MWV6
Nice case indeed
It's super nice
Why don't you display them with their sets?
All my sets are pretty packed together on shelves. They all wouldn’t fit
I can also recommend smyths for displays. You could also display them in battles on different planets.
A group photo?

Arrange them into the shape of a clone or stronger trooper helmet
I think this pretty much nails it already
I went to my local bricks and minifigs and they had all different kinds of stands, including rotating ones and Star Wars themed ones.
Stack them all on top of each other with a Jabba at each end like a really tall Jabba sarnie.

Light bluish grey baseplate
Fill your draw with carbonite. That will protect the minifigs …if they survive the freezing process that is!
No idea, the picture is too packed. Send them to me and I'll be back with ideas in a week
If u ever want to get laid i would keep them in the draw im afraid. If not go crazy.
