There are square cubes that wont lock together so it's limiting. A 3 pack was $2. You can see serpentor on one, the two snakes in the corner of the crimson shelf use them. I also have a short tray sitting on one to hold up CC in the trouble bubble.

Trays come in short and long size and stack (locks in place) well on each other. Long trays is what I used for the stair cases. They are $2.50 each. So it costs $7.50 to create a single 2 tier staircase. My shelves have 2 of them so $15 to fully deck out a shelf.

Shorter trays (about 2/3 the size of long tray) are $1.75. You can see the trouble bubble sitting on one which is sitting on a cube tray. Also using one for the throne which fits it perfect with no throne overlapping from it.

I spent $56.25 plus tax for everything you see plus 1 more short tray and 5 squares being used on my TF collection.

Pretty decent price to handle an entire collection. I cleared out 2 Dollaramas of long trays.

I can see myself spraypainting them black and some red or dark blue to blend/decorate better.

Stickers on trays are easily removable as well.

Awesome! I'll do a little hunting. These Dollarama employees are going to think there's a new organizing trend going around, or something

Just picked up a few - they work great as riser! Thanks for the tip... will probably go back for more

I picked up a few of the trays last night to try them out. Unfortunately they are about a half inch too long to double up on my shelves where I have my Black Series figures and Wrestling figures but I can put 3 across on the shelves with my Classified, Transformers and MOTU Origins. They work really well and are more sturdy then the typical display risers. I'm gonna have to raid a couple of the local Dollarama's. Gonna need a lot of these.

They had some other types that weren't as long so I'll have to check those out for the other shelves.

The one by me had a nice mix of sizes, so I'm playing around a bit. I've never been so excited for cheap plastic squares

Lol..I went back tonight to grab a bunch more and the cashier looked at me like I was an alien. She's like "It's usually women that buy these things." Well, thanks to usernameprime there'll be a lot of men buying them now.

So I am going to apply it to one of the Joe items which, hopefully, means I'll get TF Duke & RAM for 70% off.

Not to burst your bubble...but it's 50% off then 20% off that sale price...so like 60% off overall I believe

Only get the odd GI Joe figure now but at 1/2 price and then 20% off that price I had to pick up Sgt Slaughter. Plus the wife was picking some things up for Christmas presents so she paid and I got it for free. Toys R Us had some good deals this time.

I wonder if they hired new management, or just saw the complete error of their ways. Their prices were crazy high until a few months ago. So of course they're going to have a glut of inventory that they have to push out the door.
