Ed Mack Posted March 11, 2012 Posted March 11, 2012 Very cool Star Wars store display that is currently for sale on EBAY. STAR WARS STORE DISPLAY I am fortunate to have one that I did purchase from the listing's seller(retrobox) and was extremely happy with the display and shipping. The display lights up and has movement and is one of my favorites... Quote

JimBean4 Posted March 14, 2012 Posted March 14, 2012 Very nice display. They have that one in our local Target right now. Quote
Ed Mack Posted May 23, 2012 Author Posted May 23, 2012 Any ideas how to acquire these from stores?Stores are supposed to destroy these displays and are not allowed to sell them. You must look on EBAY under "LEGO DISPLAYS" and you can find them there. I guess some store managers take them home and sell them on EBAY. Quote
BuildIT Posted July 11, 2012 Posted July 11, 2012 I've touched base with a few stores now regarding the shop-front LEGO displays. Thankfully, most people (at least where I live) are truly unaware that LEGO displays can be such a great investment and collection piece. I may have to grease a few palms with silver during my endeavours, possibly use the force, but I will persevere.....if anything resembling success happens to come my way then it would be all worth it! Considering the recent photos from Jeff showing some of Ed's displays, it just has to be an area of investing that I have to delve into. Quote

The bottom line is that these beautiful LEGO store displays are supposed to be destroyed. What a shame. If you can work a deal with a store manager, you might get lucky. Quote
Brick625 Posted July 12, 2012 Posted July 12, 2012 The display mentioned is the exact one i bought for ($150) - which i think it was cheap and its in a perfect condition Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 This question is for Ed because I know he has one, if anyone else has thoughts I am all ears. http://dallas.craigslist.org/ndf/tag/3302788296.html What do you think is a fair price? Quote

Brick625 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 the link is not working - what kind of display was it? Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 The link was working now it isnt......its the display with the slave 1 the jedi star fighter and the bounty hunter pursuit. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 the link is working for me now Quote
Brick625 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 it works now, i would pay between $200-250 because it doesnt come with the lights while looking at dallas craiglist found this link http://dallas.craigslist.org/dal/tag/3324503279.html - try and check it out Quote
Ed Mack Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 I have that display and it is quite rare. It is also awesome in person. Very heavy. I think that seller has been trying to sell that on EBAY for years, with no luck. I think they were asking $400. If you have the space and a way to pick it up, I would recommend it. I believe I paid $300 with $100 shipping, but I would offer less. You can always go up. On a side note, you can easily add your own LED lights to it and make it a stunning display. Quote
stephen_rockefeller Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Question 2.......can I add the sets in this display to my brickfolio? I'm assuming the sets are glued so are they even worth used prices? I started out loving these display sets but now I'm not so sure about them. Quote

On the next Brickfolio upgrade, a custom feature will be added so you can input displays and custom MOC values. Quote

Ed Mack Posted October 12, 2012 Author Posted October 12, 2012 As an investment, these displays are a crap shoot. Some do very well, some lose value. It is a long term type of thing. The main issue is space. The nice one about this particular display is that you can buy some heavy duty picture mounts and hang this on the wall. Quote
Brick625 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 once you buy a display you get addicted to them from personal experience the only problem is the space as Ed mentioned the display looks cool, has big letters inscribed Star Wars which adds more value to it. i like the displays for the reason that i could display lego sets without having to worry about dust.
