[@Bryan_Fontaine]

Love the setup! Great first video, has me pumped to get my Moducases in a few months!

[@chrisleddy5750]

Great review and showcase!

[@danmarsal6191]

Looks cool but you only need to buy some aluminum extrusion 2020 and 2040 and you save a lot of money.

[@mojopotato1715]

Love the set up for your display. Where did you get the background scenery setting posters to display behind your figures/statues? It takes your display to another level!

[@parkerfiles6643]

Hey Moses! Thanks for stopping by. The backgrounds are made by Dean at Backdrops and Bases. Contact info is in the description.

[@naikowe]

I've been considering getting some for my 1/6 (small) collection and in the process to get rid of the detolfs, but still didn't decide between the DF30 or 60. Did you go with the 60 just because the space/measurements in your office or some other reason you'd like to share? Kudos on the video! From all the ones I've seen yours is very informative and easy to follow without being almost an hour long. Really cool collection, even if I'm more of a SW fan.

[@parkerfiles6643]

Great question. The DF30 was not available when I ordered these. I might have had the same dilemma you’re having now. Good luck! Thanks for checking out the video and the kind words.

[@fabricioonate7540]

I ve been looking for these moducases but the delivery time is too long, i wish they had in stock supply

[@parkerfiles6643]

The wait IS maddening. I agree, stock supply is a need they need to address.

[@billybumgarner8692]

Yea the wait is crazy 11 month is to long for me anyways...if these things are so popular i would have stoke piles of these cases to meet the so called demand for them..

[@skyguy7415]

Nice! how did you create the intro in Marvel way?

[@parkerfiles6643]

I did it in Adobe After Effects.

[@josephdecastro4393]

Does enhancement bar go on the bottom with holes in the back panel

[@iShizumaHanazono]

This is the best video guide assembly so im back again since im expecting my order again in a month or 2, just wondering parker did you remove the middle glass to fit the 2 cases together? and yes i thought the waiting period will get fix since they have a bigger warehouse now but sadly nothing changed i ordered again last year black friday they said it will be ship by march but here i am still waiting for it >.

[@davidlewis4001]

Great review! Where did you get the printed backgrounds? Thx

[@theworldbetweenworlds4054]

Yes the df60 does.come witht hose tools

[@parkerfiles6643]

Thanks for sharing Evan. My first one didn’t, but glad they changed that moving forward.

[@z3158755]

Can you please tell me the dimensions of the 3 custom sized cases?

[@pezcow23]

Great fucking video by the way but the question is.....how long did this took to get to you? I have mine ordered and Im ready mentally for a lot of months of suffering but how long!! Good job at explaining things clearly. ""Lie to me dont tell me it really was 10 months lol"

[@parkerfiles6643]

Thanks for checking out the vid. Sadly, no lie. Waited 10 months. Hopefully your wait will be much shorter. Good luck and enjoy.

[@animemusicvideo6417]

That wood looks poor quality

[@unbox_and_chill]

the facebook page for Backdrops and Bases doesn't seem to exist anymore :( does anyone know where i can still get something like this?

[@clashofclan6157]

I now the link

[@unbox_and_chill]

@@clashofclan6157 Where is the link?

[@stevenfinklea4596]

Nice video and beautiful display cabinets, but I’m wondering if taller quarter-scale statues can fit, and if their weight would be supported by these cabinets.

[@parkerfiles6643]

Thanks for the kind words. I think the height would be the issue for those statues, not the weight. Check out their Instagram page though. You’ll see lots of statues in those cases.

[@acea5683]

Incredible! Great product.

Great video and awesome setup!! Congratulations. 👊🏽

Just convinced me to get a couple of these. Great video and editing!! Got a new sub for sure.

[@parkerfiles6643]

Thanks for checking out the video. Appreciate the support. Enjoy!

[@stevenfinklea4596]

Fantastic setup. I love the moducases. You’re right that they take a collection to the next level. Very, very cool backdrops, too! Thanks for walking us through some of the challenges of setting up Moducase displays.

[@parkerfiles6643]

Thanks for stopping by Steven and I appreciate the feedback!

[@kbisht3680]

the backdrops just elevated the set up to holy grail status.

[@adamspohn6919]

Where did you get the rubber liners to add between the panels? Did you do this on standard size ones as well? Seems like a good idea either way. Also did you add anything on the cases that are joined horizontally? That seems like really the gap where dust would come in since there is no plexi. Im just building mine now so any help you can offer would be great. Im on FB as well.

[@parkerfiles6643]

The rubber liners came with it. I believe the new style doesn’t require them, as he’s changed the design. Nothing is added to the cases horizontally where the plexi is removed. It’s essentially one big case at that point and functions fine. Good luck and enjoy!!!

[@adamspohn6919]

@@parkerfiles6643 Cool so how is the dust inside the cases?

[@parkerfiles6643]

Adam Spohn so far so good. No issues thus far.

[@artboymoy]

How did the front panel go on after you have all your figures in?

[@parkerfiles6643]

There are magnetic strips along the frame that connect the front panel. Great question. Sorry I didn’t mention that.

[@artboymoy]

@@parkerfiles6643 Thanks for the quick response. I'm looking to get into some nice cases and I'm not sure if they'd be too big for the space I have. I have a lot of Sideshow Premium stuff that I'd like to display. I'm guessing that I could replace the back panel with another plexiglass, so I can have it more open. I have a half wall and it would be nice to be able to see them though the back.

[@parkerfiles6643]

Check them out on Instagram and you’ll see a lot of options and uses. I’m sure you can set it up like you’re talking. Good luck!

[@djtede5874]

For the backdrop install, did you place it on after you assembled the DF120? I have a DF60 and I want a back drop but I already installed the DF60 so I am wondering what you did for the back drop! Thanks!

[@parkerfiles6643]

Hey Theodore. Are you talking about the poster style backdrops? If so, it’s just a poster board taped to the Moducase back.

[@chriscollector3371]

Great video mate think you might of just made me consider changing all my detolfs for these. I’ve never seen them. Thanks for putting it out there just subbed 👍

[@parkerfiles6643]

You won’t be disappointed! Haha. Thanks for checking out the channel and the sub.

Are all the DF120’s 15kg?

[@parkerfiles6643]

Yes Sir.

@@parkerfiles6643 alright thanks, great video

[@bricktrainfan]

Great video thanks. I just ordered a few cases can't wait. With respect to Dean Gladwell's backdrops I wish I could contact him but he limits himself to being contacted by people with FB accounts. I wish people would realize how limiting that is. Like I said I wish to get a few backdrops from Dean but I can't contact Dean :(

[@parkerfiles6643]

Hey Gilbert. Hope you enjoy your cases. I messaged Dean and he’d be glad to get an email from you. [e-mail]

Thanks for this detailed vid and the back drops, was not expecting that. Outstanding set up!

Thanks Austin! I think you’ll be happy you ordered. Stay safe and enjoy!

This is a great video. The music isn't overbearing, and you have a good voice for it. My mind was blown when I saw the centipede cabinet was actually working.

You had to wait 10 months?

[@parkerfiles6643]

I sure did @Dajuice911

[@Runningbowels]

Thank you - I am already waiting for mine for 6 months now. Moducase has to fix the wait time for these.

[@parkerfiles6643]

I totally agree. Great product. Great customer service. Poor production. I hope you enjoy your set up when you get there!

[@jamesc5976]

You have an amazing collection. I love the background scenes they really make the display look top notch. I am going to use this video to help me put my Moducases together when I get them.Great video very slick!

[@bernardfigueroa8052]

I just got word that mine are shipping and should be here next week. So excited! I got 4 DF 60. My question is can you leave the inside glass off of the DF 60 and connect both of them? Also where do you get your awesome backgrounds? Keep up the great videos.

[@parkerfiles6643]

That’s awesome news! You can remove the inside glass on ones that are connected through. There are no glass on the insides of all my cases. They’re all opened into one another. Only the outsides have the glass. The backgrounds are made by Dean at Backdrops and Bases. His FB link is in the description. Good luck and enjoy!

[@bernardfigueroa8052]

Dude! I got my DF 60’s in this week and I have to say these things are freakin awesome! I got 4 and only put 2 together so far but wow. Super happy with the purchase. First thank you for the heads up on taking the covers off the glass. I did not suffer as much as you did because you showed me what not to do. Also I reached out to Dean at Backdrops and Bases. What a great guy. He got back to me right away and I will be placing and order soon. I will make sure I let him know you sent me. Hopefully he’ll hook you up. I will send you a picture once it’s all complete. Thanks again for your help. Keep up the good work!

[@parkerfiles6643]

That’s awesome to hear Bernard! I’m glad you’re loving them. Dean IS a solid guy for sure and he’ll take good care of your project. Looking forward to seeing that picture!

[@skeletorfive5585]

Do you prefer spotlights or led strips? I'm gonna order some moducases but not sure which ones better.

[@parkerfiles6643]

I opted for the LED strips as I have a lot of figures and wanted “even” lighting. If I collected statues, I’d probably opt for spotlights. The LED strips are fantastic.

[@skeletorfive5585]

@@parkerfiles6643 thanks

[@RIJIT]

DAMN! It looks so good. I ordered 4 cases but the 1/6 scale versions about 2 months ago. Ive had my figures in boxes for almost a year so I cant wait to set them all up and display them. I have a few dioramas as well and the ones you have are fantastic. Good stuff and I hope you post more vids.

[@parkerfiles6643]

I had my figures in boxes too...just waiting. It’s a lot of fun when you get it all together and start setting it all up. Stay safe and enjoy!!!

Parker Files Quick question, where did you get the ruble from? I want those rock foundations you have in your GOG display.

The rocks in the GOG display are actually from a pet store!!! The rubble in the avengers display from Inbox Diorama. You can find them on FB. Good luck!
