Cheap Way to Display Minifigures?

[TheLegoExperience]

Hello. I've been trying find a way to display minifigures. However, every option I seem to find either costs WAY too much (Usually like $50, sometimes even $100), and this can't be good because LEGO is not the most inexpensive toy out on the market. Also, I have minifigs like Doc Ock that need more space than most figures and most displays do. Anyway I can do this as cheaply as possible with still looking nice?

Thanks,

A curio cabinet but probably not a new one.

If you have a bit of free wall space you can use this technique:

Another option I want to try is to buy a large cheap picture frame and glue 2x2 bricks at intervals for them to mount on.

Thank you! These both seem like good options, I'm going to consider which one I'll use.

There's a whole thread (and another one) dedicated to this with a number of options, including the $10 Container store display boxes.

Mine (before modifying with LEGO to pack more figures into each container):

My complete set of the first five series, 80 figures in four cases:

I use existing cabinet, the one with glass doors, I prepare "steps" made of Lego and place my minifigs collection there (I purchase through bricklink minifigs I like, so therefore the mix of different types - mainly Star Wars, Hobbit + LOTR and superheroes).

For armies I use 36x36 baseplate, sometimes covered by studless Lego plates, with studs only for stormtrooper legs. It fits into my cabinet.
