Because everyone else has displays that make me never want to try and display them together. Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Great displays everyone...mine is just a mess lol Quote
p8nt4lyfe Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Is that the correct way to put the Palace/Rancor together? Because everyone else has displays that make me never want to try and display them together. Yeah, all of the pics online make it look really goofy with the tower sticking off the side like a tumor... If they would just open up the rancor gate it balances out nicely and looks really cool (and sturdy) The gate swivels with the palace on top of it, so you can adjust it as you see fit, but I'm pretty sure the designers intended for the gate to be at an angle (it comes on hinges...)

Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I have it displayed on my desk the exact same way. It's the only way it looks good to me, as the tower can't be "underground" along with the pit :s 1 Quote
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I plan on adding a custom bit for the tower to be the same height as the palace. I don't like it off the door. Quote

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 I was gonna say, I guess the magic at Hogwarts doesn't repel Bounty Hunters. Quote

comicblast Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 Some of mine: FCB, for your LoTR display, do you have two Black Gate sets? If so, I assume you just built the second one as a mirror image of the first? Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 11, 2013 Posted December 11, 2013 FCB, for your LoTR display, do you have two Black Gate sets? If so, I assume you just built the second one as a mirror image of the first? Basically, you just build the second one per the regular instructions and it allows you to connect another one on either side. Makes it pretty convenient and easy. Quote
binici Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I was supposed to buy a glass case/cabinet from IKEA during BF, but they sold out! We had some of the SW ships built, but room was a factor, so we took them apart, for now... Here are sets we have been collecting and investing! Closet space is huge! 2 Quote
Quacs Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Here are some pics of my Winter Village display. Those of you with WV scenes will recognize them. And yes, this is the display with the "Where's Waldo?" Gingerbread Man. it appears he is in one pic here - can you tell which one? I apologize ahead of time for the bad lighting in my dining room. The Winter Village Cottage and Post Office square Winter Carnival square Bakery and Toy Shop square Here are some vignettes from the Display: Puppy Love Music Echoes through the square Training the dog Fun in the Snow with Dad Cat Fight! 6 Quote

Alcarin Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I am sorry to derail the topic a bit BUT dont your collections out in the open collect dust and need constant cleaning ? Ill post mine all behind glassed furniture I could not have LEGOs out like that... Quote

Ill post mine all behind glassed furniture I could not have LEGOs out like that... For the "permanent" collection, absolutely. For the Winter Village, it's only out a month so I dust once before disassembly after Christmas. Quote

Sucks doesnt it? luckily I decided I will only have as much LEGO as I can that are not in the OPEN Quote
citymorgue Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I am sorry to derail the topic a bit BUT dont your collections out in the open collect dust and need constant cleaning ? Ill post mine all behind glassed furniture I could not have LEGOs out like that... Of course the collections collect dust. With me living in Utah, and the ridiculously dry air, there is dust EVERYWHERE. And it accumulates stupid fast. But honestly, it gives me an excuse to take the sets apart every once in a while and rebuild them. Nothing wrong with that. And besides, it's awesome to show friends and stuff. Having the sets in boxes just doesn't do it for me! Quote
Quacs Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 Sucks doesnt it? luckily I decided I will only have as much LEGO as I can that are not in the OPEN It actually "blows" (the can of compressed air, that is). Be sure to tip your waitresses... Quote
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 12, 2013 Posted December 12, 2013 I got a pretty cheap thing on Amazon that works pretty well as long as you don't let your sets collecting dust for long periods of time:http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00017LSPI/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1386864354&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL60& EDIT by Quacs - affiiliate link added.
