Man I wish I still had transformers, of course if I did I'd be playing with them when I wasn't displaying them.... And also the cool thing about displaying them is when you invite people over and don't want to be as nerdy you transform em into the car shape, that way people think you're just really into automotives/car models.
I've built the shelving in my room, but I need to put in some more, God knows I need storage space and there's so little floor room in here...

The mounting brackets on the wall. They're evenly spaced out so that the three shelves will sit 20cm apart when mounted. I probably didn't need to use as many plugs as I did.

I'm not sure how much weight is on those shelves, let alone the weight of the shelves themselves, but you may want to reconsider those plastic plugs. They work alright, but at work I've seen those things bust out too easily. Given that you say you used a lot it should be ok. However for your next batch of shelves I'd recommend getting a batch of small metal molly screws. They're a lot sturdier.

Ohhh man look at all the Transformers
That is a fantastic set-up. I'm sure the plastic plugs will work fine in this suitation given that they're neatly and evenly spaced and Transformers don't weigh all that much to begin with.
I would love to put up shelves and a picture rail and change around the kitchen and paint walls and stuff in my apartment, but sadly I am not even allowed to put blu-tac on the walls. Damn rental agencies.
ForteBass:
I have a similar problem in my apartment, but it hasn't really stopped me. Mostly because I know how to patch my own holes.
Lines:
Yeah, patching holes is pretty easy. That's kind of silly you can't use blu-tac, Lunchy.
Nice shelves! And I agree with eph, the shelves fit really well with the transformers.
