p8nt4lyfe Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Is that a partial 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon I see on the bottom of the picture? It is, I found it on craigslist for $900 and have been slowly building it this past month...very slowly, I'm only about half way done!

Because everyone else has displays that make me never want to try and display them together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted December 11, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comicblast Posted December 11, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 11, 2013 Share 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.

binici Posted December 12, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quacs Posted December 12, 2013 Share 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.

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fcbarcelona101 Posted December 12, 2013 Share 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.
