Should have elaborated more-- apologies! Got the glass shelving here and it worked great. https://www.storesupply.com/c-894-glass-shelves.aspx I got the 10" clear and it's 3/8 inch I think. By far the easiest mounting option is getting a bunch of slatwall rails a la https://www.amazon.com/Hold-Up-Displays-Hardwood-Slatwall/dp/B00SE7IQMU?ie=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*=0 and put in brackets there https://www.storesupply.com/pc-12493-718-10-metal-shelf-brackets-for-slot-standards-50136.aspx, but I am a cheapskate and instead opted to screw planks of mahogony http://m.homedepot.com/p/Mahogany-Board-Common-3-4-in-x-3-1-2-in-x-R-L-Actual-0-75-in-x-3-5-in-x-R-L-321898/202585721 into the studs and bracket with cheap ones from eBay http://m.ebay.com/itm/151507179702. This is probably less sturdy, and in retrospect the wrong decision.
If you have wall space you can hang the box. I've done this by buying these I've been using these with my SDCC exclusives. And few boxes I want to keep. If you have a little wall space you can buy a small shelf or corner shelf.
Awesome, thanks! One more question: What tool do I need to tighten these? Will this do: https://www.amazon.com/Krome-843431-Spanner-Wrench/dp/B001CDQKVW/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1468862369&sr=8-4&keywords=spanner+wrench
I ordered these https://www.amazon.com/Econoco-Tempered-Glass-Shelves-Pack/dp/B00TH3RKIQ for $20 from Amazon warehouse deals. But when they arrived 3 of the 5 were completely smashed. Looks like they were a return that had not been repacked properly. Since I just had a box with 50lbs of broken glass I could not ship it back. So Amazon gave me a no return refund. So then I ordered another set of 5 at regular price which arrived well packaged. So that's how I ended up with 7. They are great shelves for the price, highly recommend them.
For the brackets I ordered K163-1 from https://m.aliexpress.com/item/32885353478.html. Originally I was just using 3 of these per shelf. But the brackets are not strong enough on their own. Two of them snapped when I put the shuttle and death star on it, a scary moment! Also I live in San Jose CA so was worried about earthquakes. So I ended up replacing the center bracket on each shelf with a large regular shelf bracket from the local hardware store. The combination provides a very stable solution and I think doesn't look too bad.
Regarding earthquakes, I'm using a combination of QuakeHold putty and fishing line tied from the brackets to the Lego to hopefully get me through most minor to medium tremors. But I think I'll be fubar'd if the big one hits!
