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

If this turns out to be a UCS Hoth playset i wonder how it will effect the already struggling 75014- battle of Hoth set.  Will it tank or maybe people will want it to expand?

It'll probably bring it back down to RRP...

True that!  All I will say is that if you want a 10188, now would be a good time to buy one. I think I have said that before though, so ignore me.

Here you go...Well, maybe a little more than 2000 pieces.

If the new UCS AT-AT is big enough, say 5,000 pieces or so, I could totally see that increasing the value of 75054 as collectors rush to buy enough sets for 'Mommy AT-AT with baby AT-ATs' dioramas, which are a must for any true Star Wars fan.

If there's one absolute that I know in regards to this forum it's that Ed Mack will never be ignored.

How many people will be screaming to buy one for $450/$499/$550... "I knew I should have bought at least one!!!"

I'd make a joke about Mixles, but someone already asked me to do that.

So, how about, "you'll see better returns with Joker Bumper Cars"?

I like to think of moonraker with James Bond and those orbiting death satellites.

can I have enough to launch a 10188 to all 24 of the one hour zones around the planet in Orbit ?  

Don't think I will make it

Considering that just one DS was enough to set Alderaan straight...

Even though I have had and sold 4 Death Stars over the years, I just went and ordered on from Target just in case. I figure I can always return it within 90 days. Thanks for the heads up everyone, it will be fun watching how this turns out!

Wallets are screaming, "D@mn you Ed!"

 

My wallet is screaming as well. We didn't even get to Prime Day yet. I am wondering, as are all of you, as to whether or not I should buy a couple more. It's not like these cost chump change. There are so many variables with this set that makes one question whether it is worthy of major investment. I think every LEGO fan should have at least one 10188.

I think what you need to ask yourselves is what other set will retire in the next 6 months that is a major STAR WARS set before the most hyped movie in history? Red 5? Ewok Village? They don't compare. If this set is indeed done and the SOLD OUT notation is an indicator of sets that are on he way out very soon, then there can be a nice bump up in values on his set over he course of the next 5-6 months, regardless of how much the set was stockpiled.

What I do know is that as soon as the next retailer sells out of 10188 stock, all Hell will break loose. This could be a historic moment in the history of LEGO investing. The Death Star could be dead.

Target.

Sir you are right yet again. Target has 100 left give or take.  They will be gone tonight or tomorrow.

I think I will order 2 more from Amazon.

Also it is now #1 in its subcategory
