We are recently out of the Dark Ages, so couldn't find / afford SW UCS retired sets like@TCSBGDADY, so focused on modulars.

What display case is that? 

What display case is that? 

It's a brand called Pulaski. Love it because it's a single door that slides open - in either direction (so single pane of glass with unobstructed view of contents). P.S. We bought it second-hand to reduce costs.

This is one side of our collection.

I'm so jealous! Great collection!

Taken about ten years to get this far.

Like technic too.

Didn't know that i have such a good collector around my neck of the wood. You must have been collecting a long time. That is quite a good collection, but you not into modulars? or that is just another side that was not photographed yet.

Wow! You miss only three UCS? Impressive!

 

Anybody else wanting to see the other side?

here are 2 updated pics of my collection.  Had to get a 3rd shelf from Ikea!  Not sure where I will put Big Ben once its built.  Hesitating if I should crack open my one and only TH and GE.  Still have R2, Ewok Village, ToO to build.....too much Lego and too little time.  sigh.

I get goosebumps from seeing all of these pics. Seeing my stuff full of dust kills me. If I will ever have the room and time to do displays I am sure I will get some cabinets that are sealed airtight.

Modular city. Just missing CC and TH (which just isn't built yet).

My daughter has a parade of Disney figs walking down the street.

I thought there was already a thread for this?

While my display cabinets aren't "sealed air tight", they do at least have doors and are somewhat closed off to the environment. I live on a large, fully wooded lot. As it stands now, I have to dust the display cabinets once a week, I shudder to think of that layer of dust settling down on the LEGO bricks themselves.

There is another very similar thread. It's probably two-thirds storage room/area pics of boxes meant for resale, and one-third pics of sets on display like the ones above. They're both useful and impressive to look at in their own ways.

No have never bought a modular to display. This collection started when my little boy was 4 and he only had eyes for Starwars spaceships and things. As he got better and better at putting them together I started to get him technic sets for a bit of a challenge. To this day I have still never built a set. He has always been my chief builder, I just help.

Now he's almost 15 he's lost interest a bit but I'll keep collecting and probably just store them in their box unbuilt.

He"ll be back one day.

We just sold our 10179. It's a great model but was such a pain to display, plus I only owned it for not even 2 years and it doubled in value. Ploughed most of that 5 grand back into more sets (new).

I think a new version is coming. I got burned bad by the snow speeder remake. Not doing that again.

IKEA Fjalkinge

Although expensive; they are quite versatile because of their adjust-ability and they look nice.  I have several myself.

With everyone posting their collections earlier this week, I decided to post how mine currently looks.  I am likely building the Porsche with within a few weeks so will have to move things around.

 

Enjoy!

 

Not a good pic but I just finished my UCS falcon last night.  Decided to get a few friends together.  Lol
