Best LEGO® display by IKEA #1

[@adamb2619]

Top tip, when assembling the Billy bookcases, you can add a washer to the shelves and allow for three baseplates wide.

[@andreinanu8471]

Can you explain that?

[@FubukiCards]

I have one question: For the Hogwarts display, how did you remove the central panel and what did you use to cover the front? Because it looks like glass but Ikea does not have that I think

[@brickadvisor2475]

Hi :) It's a BESTÅ 120x40x38 without the central panel. Plexiglass ;)

[@FubukiCards]

@@brickadvisor2475 Ahh thank you!! :) It looks great and I also have those sets

[@DEVILTAZ35]

Thanks mate. I am in the process of cleaning out my spare room for this exact purpose :)

Super thx 4 d tips magnifecent video. Dat gave me sme good ideas for UCS n Modulars... n Lego SW as well 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@szymondeptula3879]

Question: the top one, I saw the dimensions in another comment. But how do you get it with the little glass shelf? For the bottom ones are they a different unit that have the glass shelves and if so which one?

[@jmoo4170]

1.2 what do you use to make the corner where you are storing the lego in boxes? is there a corner besta?

[@FubukiCards]

Thank you so much

[@jfigas267]

Great idea for Lego video!!

[@stachu405]

BRO THANKS, IDEAL FILM now where to get the money xD

[@baloosd]

very helpful

[@Akitox97]

quick questions: 0:47 the first cm should be 120cm*40cm*64cm(128cm) (height times two for 2 besta) right? an second: are these glass fronts custom made or also from ikea? Hope it's clear what I'm trying to say ^^

[@brickadvisor2475]

Thank you for the comment! Yes for the first question. Yes for the second question. And yes it's clear :) It's a "double-besta" without the "separation" in the center. the glass fronts is custom made and it's in plexiglass to be lighter and cheaper. I also love that arrangement

[@Akitox97]

@@brickadvisor2475 thanks for the response. 😁 i think I'm going to copy this one for my own lego Harry Potter 👍🏻

[@Akitox97]

Just a little bit concerned about the weight of the castle holding on the Plexiglas floor. Maybe this ist real glass?

[@brickadvisor2475]

@@Akitox97 sorry I mis explained myself, the front anti-dust glass is in plexiglass. I don't know more information about the glass that holds the weight of the castle

Hi I need some help I have mostly all lego technic sets, bugatti, porsche, lambo, they are huge, what can I go for, I want a nice simple display case with lighting? Thank you.

[@brickadvisor2475]

Hi :) IKEA BILLY 80x40x202 cm. LEDBERG for the lights. simple, clean, economical.

[@rnguyen2516]

Such a helpful video! I went and bought Besta cases and shelves. I have a question, what is the best lighting option? Thank you!

[@brickadvisor2475]

ÖVERSIDAN is perfect for Besta ;)

[@rnguyen2516]

@@brickadvisor2475thank you! Do you light from the top or on the sides?

[@soright34]

How did you a glass door for the wide besta with no middle piece. Can you still stack on top of a besta with no middle piece. Is it enough support?

[@brickadvisor2475]

plexiglass+ side hinges ^^ Surely without the middle piece the ceiling of the wide besta becomes less strong so I wouldn't charge it with a lot of weight otherwise it will tend to bend

[@yagam1]

Great thx didnt know pax exist till now😄

[@brickadvisor2475]

PAX is a great solution ;)

[@jacquesgroleau1528]

Thank for giving me some good ideas, especially for ´´pax’´ awsome…👍👋👌

thank you very much! PAX is a great choice

[@robertbennett8017]

you prolly dont give a shit but if you are bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. I've been watching with my brother during the lockdown :)

[@thiagoabram7140]

@Robert Bennett Definitely, I have been using instaflixxer for since december myself =)

[@vhllr]

Hey there. For your long Besta, how were you able to remove the middle partition while maintaining the back board? I checked the manual, the back board can only be supported if there is a middle partition as they are 2 separate boards. Your wisdom would be greatly appreciated! Perhaps a construction video would be awesome. HAHA

[@brickadvisor2475]

Hey :) It's a single BESTÅ (120x40x38) without the central panel. They are not two single structures (60x40x64) side by side. I hope I have explained. I hope I was understandable :D

[@vhllr]

@@brickadvisor2475 i know its a single item but it still has a central panel. Unless there is one product without a central panel?

[@brickadvisor2475]

The creator told me it was a BESTÅ 120x40x38 without the central panel. I'm watching at the instructions on the IKEA website: the two back panels should be straight even without the central panel, with side connections and with the panel on top. Sorry I can't help you more. forgive me :,)

[@vhllr]

@@brickadvisor2475 The two back panels are straight no doubt, but without the central panel, there will be a small gap in between the two panels. the only Besta I saw that has the closest to closing that gap is the TV Bench version, but the top panel has a hole in it (for wires to go through) so it's not entirely suitable for my purposes too... sigh... Thanks anyways! Would be great if there could be a solution to this however haha

[@lcricky]

Awesome video!! Is there a glass door solution for PAX?

[@brickadvisor2475]

Thank you for the comment! For PAX there are: TYSSEDAL and BERGSBO. I personally don't like them very much, I would make a bespoke glass door. Maybe made of plexiglass to be lighter and cheaper

[@lcricky]

@@brickadvisor2475 Thanks for the reply, plexiglass is a great idea! All the best to your channel!!

what type of lights did you used for the billy one?

[@brickadvisor2475]

You can buy the official kit on Ikea's website. "MITTLED" or "NORRFLY" are perfects ;)

Where can the ucs star destroyer be displayed

[@brickadvisor2475]

Hello :) "UCS model on display stand measures over 17” (44cm) high, 43” (110cm) long and 26” (66cm) wide, and over 14” (37cm) high without stand". It's too big for every Ikea bookcase. I think you need a shelf, a big one :)

[@AK-hv6wv]

I currently have lego technics mostly, the large ones (sian fkp)etc. and smaller ones, which is the best display for my collection?

[@brickadvisor2475]

sian: measures over 5” (13cm) high, 23” (60cm) long and 9” (25cm) wide. So take a look to BILLY / OXBERG 80x30x202 cm for € 100 :)

Man idk I have the lego bugatti which is apparently like 15 inches wide and the ikea shelfs only come in 11 inches width and idk what imma do

[@MuddyFox76]

Best for creator rollercoasters?

[@brickadvisor2475]

If you are talking about LEGO 10261, It's: 53x88x41cm. So you need a PAX: 100x58x201cm. The newest LEGO 10303 is: 92x85x34cm, so you also need a PAX. Because the lenght of the BILLY is maximum circa 77cm, so it's not enough :)

@@brickadvisor2475 brilliant thanks, been mashing my head looking for something to display them.

[@soright34]

How did you make a shelf for the "wide" besta? Thanks so much

you have to use a plexiglass because it's cheap and light and you have connected it with side hinges

Which is best to display the big hogwarts castle

[@brickadvisor2475]

"Hogwarts™ Castle measures over 22” (58cm) high, 27” (69cm) wide and 16” (43cm) deep". So you need the PAX 58cm deep ^^

@@brickadvisor2475 I have a large liatorp display cabinet, but in addition to being very bulky and excessively expensive, it has the defect of being rather dark and having no modularity in the positioning of the shelves.
