Lego Displays

Hi everyone! Sorry if this has been posted before. I looked through previous threads but didn't find one specifically about this. I've read through the storage wars article on the main site and it was very helpful! However, I have some questions about storing in my garage. I've jumped into this lego investing stuff recently and we've got quite a bit of space taken up by legos now. My husband is getting a little concerned the legos will take over soon, so I need to find a solution. ;P We want to follow the storage wars article and purchase some home depot storage shelves, and possibly also store the legos in boxes (either 1:1 shipping boxes, or perhaps in large…

Here is the sold listing for that $12,500 10179 Millennium Falcon. I believe the seller is a member here. Maybe he/she can give us some interesting information on the subject.

Nice Lego Star Wars display, but $2500????? http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-LIGHTED-STORE-DISPLAY-STAR-WARS-MINI-FIGURES-SPACE-CRAFT-/180768477054?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item2a16a40f7e#ht_500wt_1290

Hi, I see these 19 inch minifigures on ebay all the time and wonder what are they worth and where did they come from? I see some sell for $500 or more. Any help would be appreciated. Here is an example: http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=2&toolid=10041&campid=5337057111&customid=setsEBAY-US&lgeo=1&vectorid=229466&item=300694336752

With something this old how can I verify it is authentic Lego Display? Arcylic encasement, rectangular, Lego (andy worhol like dot print) paper backing. A light gray plastic/vinyl (about 1" tall) border around the bottom. When upside down you can see the bottom is constructed out of 3/4 or thicker plywood with a solid wood frame around it. To help visualize, bottom to top, solid wood frame then plywood, then blue baseplates, then model. all encased in 1/4 in acrylic plexiglass. The whole thing is huge and may weight around 40lbs. I will add photos later. Sorry I am not home to upload a pic...

On Craigslist. Some scuffs and dings. Any thoughts?

So I am in Toys R us and they have this amazing display with The droid escape, Jabbas palace and the desert skiff. I ask to speak with a manager and ask her what they do with the old displays once they put up the knew ones? I know they are supposed to destroy them but just wanted to see what she would say. She told me that they have dozens of them just sitting in the back because no one who works there has the heart to destroy them or throw them in the dumpster. (Time to turn on the charm). After making some small talk I asked so what if you were to "throw them away and someone like myself: f was to drive past the dumpster and stumble upon them. She caught on to what I wa…

Hi guys, i am new here and want to get some opinion from you guys. I found a need to protect my lego displays since i have 2 cats at home and they like to play with my legos so i want to protect the legos by putting them in a display box like the pics below. I can custom make these boxes to any size and want to find ways to sell them but i don't have much experience with eBay. Do you think there is a market for these? The one in the below pic is W 35 cm * D 20 cm * **** 18 cm. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

Looking for some type of display case to place these on top of a bookcase, similar to the acrylic ones they use at TRU. Doesn't have to be heavy duty just clear so you can see them and to protect them from dust. Anyone have any ideas or pics? Something like this but taller http://www.amazon.com/Collectors-ShowCase-Plastic-Display-Case/dp/B000Q9KPB4/ref=pd_bxgy_t_text_z

First Forum Topic creation and probably my second ever post - may the moderators and others be kind! I'm wondering what folks are doing with their displays (I know, open, *gasp*, built, *gasp*) Lego sets. I've come across very few items in general and even fewer in the U.S. for display cases and/or stands - generally made from acrylic. The two examples that I'll put out there are from PureDisplay and LaserLabs. Does anyone have experience with these items and/or competitors - or even a different approach? If so, any thoughts? I have a few sets I'd like to build and display, but the general dust and protection factors have given me…

A couple of weeks ago a small toy store here in town ("here" meaning in Germany) went out of business, because their lease wasn't renewed at a bearable rate. When they had their final sales I went to pick up some Lego, part for investment, part for my collection, I stumbled across a bunch of display cases with price tags on them. Last year I had asked the boss at their head store (they belonged to a very small chain) what happened to these cases if they were replaced and he told me they (the cases) were going back to Lego and they (the store) were not allowed to sell them. Looks like this either changed (unlikely) or they didn't care anymore. Bottom line: I p…

Well I founded this set in a "display box" (not sure for the term...) This pictures show the box I saw, it's not this one but looks the same. This picture has been taken from an ebay "buy it know" but because the price is about 800 dollars I'm not sure if it's very serious. So, if was searching for nice sets (and founded some ^^) in a toy shop, and saw this beauty. The display box has some light but that's it, no music or sounds. I wasn't able to see if it has been yellowed, this set was on top of shelves 3 meters high (10 feet). The employee/seller said he isn't sure he can sell it, his boss wasn't here and he will recall me later. Wh…

Hello all, Just got a nice Friends store display from ebay for my girls. The batteries seem to be dead and I am trying to figure out how to replace them. Here is the auction link for reference. The battery compartment seems to be on the bottom with wires running up the rear to the top lid. (by the way the top lid arrived cracked, any idea where to get a replacement?) The wires disappear into the bottom so I definitely have to access the bottom interior. Any advice would be appreciated. I'm fairly mechanically minded but this thing has stumped me.

These 6 LEGO displays from the San Diego Comic Con several years ago were very limited in supply. Each display was 1 of 300 and there were 6 different displays, each with different minifigures and backrounds. This seller has all 6 for sale at once...A COMPLETE SET!!! Nice find... SIX SDCC STAR WARS DISPLAYS...COMPLETE SET!!!

Hi, all: I was at the Electronic Entertainment Expo out here in L.A. last week. Warner Bros.' game studio folks were there with demos, and some very cool displays! Just had to share. (Didn't know where else to put it besides the Displays section, but please feel free to move to a more appropriate section as applicable.) Cheers!

Hello all, I was offered a few LEGO display case sets through a craigslist ad. Wondering if anyone can tell me what these would be worth.....would the value just be in the sets that are enclosed in the display, or is there added value for the display as a whole? Pictures are attached. For reference, the person is asking 125 for the Star Wars one and 75 each for the other 2. Are these worth a buy?
