I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically.

This doesn't look too bad. I believe the shape is a problem though, the non-rectangluar shape is less efficient froma storage perspetive. It takes up the same width, but has less surface area on each shelf. The price is reasonable for an item like this though.
How does it open and are the shelves adjustable ? These are very improtant when picking out a display cabinet. If you are getting near the $1000 mark, then you shoudl go with a quality built curio cabinet. This is easily the best option, I have seen some that are abosuletly beautiful with one-pieve sliding front glass panel for seemless presentation.

I would like to have something like this. Wooden, lighted, sliding door, no seems on the front glass. Only problem is cost and shipping.

I love the simple design of the one I posted. It feels solid, too, and the glass pretty thick. I prefer this one WAY more than wood made curios, since I prefer the slick design.
And it is a high quality display and VERY sturdy. Shelves are adjustable, glass is thick, and the shape is not a problem for me, much for the contrary. Perfect for what I want.

I don't like this model at all. There's stores next to me that caries this. I prefer something that doesn't look like my grandmas "curio", so for me it NEEDS to have a modern/slick/clean line design look to it.

Another issue with me on these is the depth. Sometimes they are 12" or less. You definitely need at least 20", especially if you have something like PF Hulk to fit in there.
