I have a Detolf and Milsbo display cabinets from Ikea for Lego. My only issue with them is the doors leave some gaps, so a little dust still gets in, but it's better than having my display sets totally exposed.

[@EvanMoon]

Yes it is a really cool backdrop. I have a service dog and our house is prone to dust so the idea of a place to showcase Legos without everything covered in dog hair and dust is ideal

[@i-muts]

I recently got myself two Billy shelves with the wood+glass doors since you recommended them. They're perfect for the job. I got white shelves with black doors and painted the outside of the shelves black so the whole thing was black on the outside to match my room and white in the inside to make everything easier to see. I'm thinking about getting an Ikea CD shelf since the small shelves are really good for speed champions cars.

[@kemalzafer2867]

Could you please send me a photo of your selve as Inspiration? I may do mine that way too 🙏🏻

[@lk_5_825]

Great cabinet video. It looks very nice and clean. Also you mentioned about the Lego Technic supercars that they will have a special spot. I’ve seen a picture that there’s a piece that you can hang them against the wall. That could probably look nice

[@firewaffle1]

I have a kallax cabinet for my model cars but I should have gotten something with doors like this because they always get dusty. I also have lights in mine though and RGB light strips for ambient lighting

[@trentweber9986]

Great setup. Will have to see if the aluminium frame glass doors are available here in Australia 🤔. The LED lighting looks awesome!!

[@rickretro4687]

Thanks a lot

[@leronpereira6859]

Yup bro, waiting for you to unbox those big boxes too (the one which has the lego tote bag on it as well) 🙏🏼☺️

[@RacingBrick]

That'll come as well, but will require *some* assembly ;)

[@user-rs1990]

I've lined my Billy shelves with draft strips to prevent finer dust from seeping through the gaps.

[@RacingBrick]

Good idea!

[@DonnaxNL]

Why do the glass doors look frosted on the website... Good to know they have clear glass doors to, will help me for the future.

[@ozkancan2514]

Do you think that in long term the lights (also some warmer ones like 2700K) may have a bad effect on the lego bricks, like direct sunshine causes the colors fade?

[@ERTZOO]

@RacingBrick maybe you can try some of the Lego stadiums? I am a big Lego fan my self actually over time I've collected lots of Lego, its very funny when i watch your videos i can see my Lego sets in the back (:

[@RacingBrick]

Well the stadiums are the ones that are totally indifferent for me. I don't watch football so I'm not interested in those at all :) Some architecture sets might be interesting though.

[@R0Sch88]

I see now, that there is no easy way you could adjust the shelves height because of the lighting running through the sides. I have 4 BILLY bookcases myself (40cm deep version + top extension) but use the OXBERG glas doors because the aluminum doors are not available here. Also have a bunch of BESTA 40cm and 20cm cabinets (ideal for Speed Champions) with FISKVIKEN aluminum doors. I've put additionally self adhesive window seals behind the doors to make them more dust proof. LACK shelves for the modulars and KALLAX sideboard for some taller sets. But it's still not enough even though they are filled up completely and I completely ran out of space, something you will soon face as well. I recommend you BESTA cabinets because they are 40cm deep and with 60cm wide enough to fit the 1:8 supercars. Also being modular, you can combine different heights (38, 64, 128, 194 cm) to fill up the wall to the ceiling. They are cheap and can also be hung on the wall. Plus you can add glass shelves and reduce the nr. of lighting strips. BILLY has glass shelves only for 28cm deep version. For larger sets one could use PAX wardrobes because they are 50cm deep and glass doors are available.

[@RacingBrick]

Yeah, I had to decide the position of the shelves first with this solution but that made the cable management easier. I know the BESTA system, have some cabinets at home but I don't need more display place at the moment. This setup is used for storage but mostly for display to act as a background, and even the 4 shelves can't fit in the frame so I don't need more. I have 3 meters of PAX wardrobes in the other side of the studio just for set storage, that should be enough :)

[@janekmorel]

You should definitely try polarizing filter to get rid of reflections. It also makes the colors pop more. Inexpensive, but very effective.

[@RacingBrick]

Do you have any suggestions? I was looking for some solutions but nothing inexpensive at this scale.

[@janekmorel]

@@RacingBrick Hoya Fusion Antistatic CIR-PL or something similar will be around 30-60€. It depends on the size of lens you have (I assume you use dslr). There are more expensive ones also, but I doubt there's gonna be that much difference.

[@RacingBrick]

@@janekmorel aaaah ok, I got you totally wrong :D I thought you were talking about something to apply on the glass doors, as there are anti-reflective coating solutions you can buy but they are really expensive :) Yeah, a polarizing filter might do the trick, I have one somewhere so I'll definitely give it a try, thanks for the suggestion!

[@lakrfan4980]

I checked availability of these shelves in my area in the US and they were all unavailable or out of stock at IKEA.

[@sasalerno4]

Love your videos…quick question. What’s the trophy truck that on the shelf to the immediate right of the Ferrari F40? Looks amazing… Still need to pick up The Batman vehicle set to build that black hot rod.

[@RacingBrick]

Not sure which car are you talking about, maybe this? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGfUZaOGetBjhKs

[@sasalerno4]

@@RacingBrick I don’t believe that’s it…I noticed it in your latest freight train video. In the 1st few seconds of the video above the lego box is the F40 and to the right is a 4x4 truck w/ red doors and tire mounted behind the cab.

the Morliden doors look really good on the Billy shelves. Too bad I can't get them in the United States. They don't even pull up when I search on the website.

[@RacingBrick]

As I see Morliden was replaced by HÖGBO doors - www.ikea.com/us/en/p/hoegbo-glass-door-white-20517243/ It looks a bit different and there seem to be black and white variants only

[@miketechnic5.0]

Nice racingbrick video on the showcase you bought at IKEA and I can't wait for that box you received as a gift to come out but is the box a lego set? clean well the lego titanic 135 long 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@RacingBrick]

The box I showed yesterday with the tote bag is a single LEGO set I bought recently, I need to build it first to make a video about it :) The display solution for the 1:8 supercars will be also filmed soon.

[@mattg9264]

I have a question, whats the best way to store lego bricks? i used to sort them by colour but to find the right piece became a challenge. I then decided to have every brick sorted by colour and shape but that made for alot of small containers which doesn't make for a fun building experience. I have now moved to sorting bricks by their shapes and size, keeping all the colours of a specific brick in one container. How do you store your lego biricks and do you have any advice for the best method to store lego that still creates a fun building experience whether solo or with friends and family, Thank you for your time

[@SMarch33]

I store them by shape, not color, because it's relatively simple to discern colors.

[@goldenjoker7407]

WOW😐👌

[@Kevin-ml2hx]

What are the cabinets you have along the other wall? I have been looking for that style for awhile now.

[@RacingBrick]

They are also from IKEA, but from the kitchen department :) Will make a video about that side as well when it is ready.

[@TheChristmasWarrior]

How are you storing the Titanic though? I’m 3/4 done with the build and I realized I heavily overestimated my shelf length

Currently in a cardboard box :D But I have plans for that one, if I find the proper solution I will definitely post about it.
