Hanging is by far the best way to display it.  It has a hollow core, so we used a small piece of wood painted black with an eye bolt and picture hanging wire.  That way its supported from the bottom.

I think this pretty much sums it up. A five year old boy (my son) watching Star Wars for the first time ever. The Death Star is... fascinating.  When it is gone (whenever, if ever, that finally happe

The magic word is patience. If I'm not rich in 5 minutes... well the bubble is over. The party burst. I'm out...

 

Everyone has a different investment strategy, so I have to ask are there better places to put my money now rather than waiting for a $500 Town Hall to make it to $1000?

Interesting question. Would you rather have a Town Hall or a Death Star plus $100?

Oh boy watch out for the NOOB..... In for 2. (1 LEGO Shop at Home, 1 amazon)

This wasn't part of the plan 5 months ago when I bought my first set ever, a F40. Now I have 3 F40's, sea cows, DS's, tons of this stuff. I can't go a day without buying something. Oh boy who's going to pay these CC bills LOL. J/K, I'm in it for the long term if I must be...

GL everyone.....

think the talk of this set not being valuable is totally off base

I am selling the mandelorian speeder for 50 bucks the coruscant police gunship for 90 bucks, the star wars black han solo for 44 bucks

just a few months ago you could not give these things away

and that droid gunship ? it was doing awful too and taking off

everyone has a right to their opinion but people believing acquired inventories or that it has been active too long are going to be enough to keep this set price down I think are in for a rude awakening

but to each his own

Was thinking the same thing. I remember negativity as the SSD neared retirement... Anyone who passed has to be kicking themselves at this point. While the supply for DS will be larger, the market will be too IMO

Ed. Any credibility to Just2Good's post about the '16 DS?

I think there probably is.  Just2Good obviously has some major connections within LEGO and has too much consistent insider information to be ignored.  The question is whether or not the new Death Star will have an huge effect on the 10188's appreciation.  Personally, I don't think it will because of the new movie characters and scenes.  If it is a set similar to the 10143 but finished, the 10188 could explode.  Even another play set could be much, much different.  The 10188 is a classic.  It will be missed.
