About Ninth Panel

The build is finished.
The story isn’t.

Ninth Panel makes display cases for the LEGO® sets collectors love most, and the people who build those sets help us decide which one gets a case next.

Eight panels build the story. The ninth brings it home.

Why Ninth Panel?

Named after the strictest grid in comics.

The nine-panel grid leaves nowhere to hide, with no splash pages and no shortcuts, so every panel has to earn its place.

We design every case the same way. The ninth panel is the reveal: the moment your finished build leaves the instruction book and takes its place on your shelf.

Creative process

Pencil first.
Pixels later.

Every case starts as a sketch on paper, then gets drawn up in Illustrator, layered in Photoshop and photographed in our own studio, with AI used as a tool along the way rather than put in charge. We’ve laid the whole process out, sheep and all, so you can see exactly how a Ninth Panel case comes together.

What we believe

House rules.

Designed around the set.

We start with the set, then design the case around it: the artwork, the colours and the angle that shows off the detail fans notice first.

On its way in two working days.

Every display is on our shelf and leaves within two working days, so your set spends its time on show instead of in its box.

Your say.

Ninth Panel is community-led, so you tell us the sets and the features you want, and every idea reaches our team.

Proper service.

Every email is answered by a real person who knows the cases, and if it is not right, we make it right.

Every case is an Issue

Two Issues to start.

Every display we make is an Issue, and you are one of our first readers. Issue 01 is the Game Boy Display Case for LEGO® Set 72046. Issue 02 is the Wallace and Gromit Display Case for LEGO® Set 21371.

More Issues land every week until 5 December and carry on into the new year, and every date is on our release timeline.
