June 19, 201510 yr Hello all! I am the owner (Ralph Pitcher) of the displays listed. I would like to thank Ed for putting this listing together for me! He has been a great customer over the years! As for shipping we have shipped alot of these. To be honest we rarely have a issue. When there is a issue its usually a piece that comes apart inside. All of these are hand assembled so they end up not all being glued the same. As far as space currently we have about 95 skids which we could combine to around 75. Thats roughly 3x 53 ft trailers Figure each trailer is roughly 530sqft so that means you would need about 1600sqft if I am doing the math right? Shipping from Ohio out west full truck is $1500 or less. Maybe a little less maybe a little more. Anything I can help you with just ask. ThanksRalph So, these are located in Ohio? Is there any way this lot can be broken up a little and offered up to folks who can pick-up?
June 19, 201510 yr Author So, these are located in Ohio? Is there any way this lot can be broken up a little and offered up to folks who can pick-up?Yes, they are in Ohio. Ralph said he would break it up into smaller lots, but he is moving into a new warehouse and these need to be cleared out by July 1, so time is of the essence. If a team of members want to put together a plan to unload all the displays at one time that would be picked up, I'm sure he would consider it. Edited June 19, 201510 yr by Ed Mack

I don't want to have to keep touching these. Every time I move them touch them it costs money. Unfortunately our people won't work for Legos:) By selling as a lot I am protecting the buyer. No one else had this deal so you set the price for the most part. I would think buyers can appreciate that. I would also include the website and domain name Toysondisplay.com. To the buyer of the whole lot. I may even have a skid or two of shipping boxes we use for these displays. Kind of a business in a box.
June 19, 201510 yr First off if I am responding slow I have had a lot of interest. I apologize. However I have decided to offer 5 of the Vader displays for an additional $4500 to who ever buys this lot. Further more if you only want the Legos thats fine... Price is the same but you only need two 53ft semis (Which ship almost anywhere for $1500ea. All the small Lego displays would fit in one 53ft trailer (589/24 Skids). The other 315 (25 Skids)I am sure would fit in other truck. I need to confirm how much space would be left over. I also have alot of parts from these displays which we sell regularly available to the buyer as well.

June 19, 201510 yr Author Is there any good way to lookup an accurate market value for these vader displays? I have seen them priced between $1000-$5000, depending on condition. Being they are very rare and no more will ever be made, these are truly the best LEGO displays for investment I have encountered. The new movies will only help their value.
June 20, 201510 yr Is there any good way to lookup an accurate market value for these vader displays?last four sold have averaged $1518 shipped going back to April. Could Terapeak back further if you have it for last 12 months but should be enough current info with those 4. 5th one sold best offer , asking was 2k so probably in the 1500 or higher range accepted.
June 20, 201510 yr My concern would be the number of these things out there. Yes they sell high $$$ but how many buyers are there that are willing to pay that amount. This is a very niche market. I was always led to believe that these displays were supposed to be destroyed, so if they weren't you're looking at 1500+ of each one just from Target alone. These are not fast movers, so plan on owning for a while before you are able to recoup you're investment.
June 20, 201510 yr I know the displays from Walmart are stamped "property of Lego", or at least they have for the past two years. Are these the same?
