Sauromosis Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I have been in this game since January 2013, so I missed the early modular houses. It's now my goal to get them all on display. Some more are coming but here's the current status of my project with some noticeable gaps: I will update this thread as I fill them in! 5 Quote
Migration Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 The dinosaurs really bring the whole display together. Don't forget to get a Haunted House. 5 Quote
Bold-Arrow Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 nice... really like the dino touch... hope the display keeps on growing 1 Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I have all mine on my desk, though I have not purchased Parisian yet. It gets lots of nice comments about how cool they all look together. 1 Quote
comicblast Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Best get a GE before it retires/goes OOS for good, which is bound to happen eventually. How do you intend on displaying the corner modulars if you have them lined up chronilogically like that? 1 Quote
Sauromosis Posted August 16, 2014 Author Posted August 16, 2014 Yes, the Pet Shop has added some big stock on the roof. As far as display, I guess I'll just display the corners from the side at first. I really want to see them all lined up chronologically. I don't have space to point the corner out front. As it is, this shelf isn't long enough and I'll need to add another one above or to the right! Quote
Silburned Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Kudos on having the Market Street. That is the only one I am missing. They do look nice all together. 1 Quote
MartinP Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 I like you current display, especially the dinos on the top of the Pet Shop. Hopefully you will be able to complete your display. I would get a GE when it comes back in stock so that you don't miss it. 1 Quote
Grolim Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Nice work. Cool idea for a display project. Now it's things like this we should encourage more! As investors we want people to decide one day to start back collecting old sets like the modular lines, or all the LotR sets, or all the UCS sets, etc. That's what fuels a good chunk of secondary market price growth. 3 Quote
jpizzow Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 That's a good start. The first three are too rich for my blood. What I'm wondering is when they are going to announce the next modular. Seems like it should be soon. 1 Quote
jgschmieg3 Posted August 16, 2014 Posted August 16, 2014 Be patient and you can find the cafe, fire brigade, and market for a good price on ebay. I bought an incomplete cafe corner and counting the parts I ordered and the original cost, I paid $150 for it after I sold some additional sets in the lot. Same for the market street. 1 Quote
beeblet65 Posted August 17, 2014 Posted August 17, 2014 I just bought a bulk lot with the Cafe corner, Market Street and Green Grocer so I will have my block completed in a matter of weeks! - Keep going, you'll get there! 1 Quote
Sauromosis Posted August 18, 2014 Author Posted August 18, 2014 Nice finds, guys. I dream of such a bulk lot. Plans are in the works, though, and I might be able to complete this. Quote
Spartikis Posted August 18, 2014 Posted August 18, 2014 Its getting harder to display the whole collection. ive got the complete set of modulars + haunted house and it takes up a whole wall. Quote
Migration Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 I know the World Cup is over, but you really need to change the title to "goooaaaallll". 1 Quote
Sauromosis Posted August 31, 2014 Author Posted August 31, 2014 Lol, sounds like a mod request. I wish the next world cup started tomorrow! Quote
Huskers1236 Posted August 31, 2014 Posted August 31, 2014 Very good progress. I need to get the Parisian myself to get myself caught up. I should get a picture of my desk with the modulars on top ot it. Quote
Sauromosis Posted October 9, 2014 Author Posted October 9, 2014 This took a little longer than I expected but I'm finally done! Bring on the Detective Agency, hope it's cool. 5 Quote
Sauromosis Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Detective Agency added, and it is way cool...I probably only have room for one more! 9 Quote
ravenb99 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Detective Agency added, and it is way cool...I probably only have room for one more! very nice display. I like how you've added more supports over time. That's lots of weight now 2 Quote
Sauromosis Posted January 8, 2015 Author Posted January 8, 2015 Correction: Detective's OFFICE. I keep doing that. Quote
Bernard74 Posted January 8, 2015 Posted January 8, 2015 Nice display. I myself am planning to build all my modulars (all except cafe corner and market street) in a town layout. Will post pics when I'm done but may take some time. 1 Quote
citymorgue Posted January 9, 2015 Posted January 9, 2015 I know the feeling with the modulars. My wife has all of them built except the first 3. GG, CC, and MS. I would absolutely love to own those 3 sets, but the aftermarket price is just beyond stupid for those sets. I might try to find a used set for them, but I doubt it. They are sooo awesome all linked together. I can't wait to see what the next modular is going to be. 2 Quote
