Is that a partial 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon I see on the bottom of the picture?

Awesome find. I wish I could find one at that price.

Is that the correct way to put the Palace/Rancor together? Because everyone else has displays that make me never want to try and display them together.

Great displays everyone...mine is just a mess lol

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...)

 

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

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.

WHY IS BOBA FETT AT HOGWARTS

 

My OCD was thrilled with that post until the end.

WHY IS BOBA FETT AT HOGWARTS

Maybe there is a bounty for "He who shall not be named".

Lol I don't have space anymore... Just think where the hell I'll display the Maersk Ship

I was gonna say, I guess the magic at Hogwarts doesn't repel Bounty Hunters.

That's the least of your problems.

 

Your SSD is giving a colonoscopy to that AT-AT.

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.

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!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.

Here are some vignettes from the Display:

I see a lot of nice picks I would have chosen myself. Ah, you have the Hoth Echo Base from 2011 in there.

For the "permanent" collection, absolutely. For the Winter Village, it's only out a month so I dust once before disassembly after Christmas.

Sucks doesnt it?

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!

It actually "blows" (the can of compressed air, that is).

 

Be sure to tip your waitresses...

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:
