Sets that you keep for display !

[Freekysch]

I'm very curious what are the Lego Technic Sets that you dispaly ? Only flagships or smaller sets too ? My favourite sets that i keep on my shelf are 8043, 8265 and 9397.

Oh, and since i started this topic, what do you prefer on a set: looks or technicality ?

[Eigenbroetler]

The original sets i have displayed are the 8275 bulldozer, 8109 flatbed truck, 8069 backhoe, 9396 helicopter, 9398 crawler and the b model "lawnmower" of 8256.

Modified sets i have on display is The Ultimate 8043, full RC 42006 excavator, full RC 8264 hauler and my modified 6x6 unimog 8110 RC

i like looks with powerfuctions. if i have to give in terms of looks to get it remote controlled, then i go for it.

I have only 3 sets so far - 8258, 8110, 9396 - and I display them all, cause they look impressive and grab everyone's attention (even those who are not into Lego). Honestly impressive look is one of the factors I take into account when I buy a set - that's why I have not interest in small models .

[reibuehl]

Definitely my 8110. With as many addons as it can carry :-)

[Pat-Ard]

@ reibuehl: which attachments have you planned?

[Alasdair Ryan]

Does this count?

I still have my unimog,a motorized 8256 loader,Jurgens backhoe,my moc tractor the scrap handler and the mini backhoe of this year still assembled.

From my collection (http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?q=karicollection&stype=fi) I keep the yellow construction vehicles and the trucks on display permanently, they look very impressive. I have no room for the others yet. And I always put my MOC on display when I have one.

Red and black Vampires' (one of each)

Red and black Porches' (one of each)

NK's Compact Car (white w/blue stripes)

Lipko's Red Coupe

Red Gallardo

Black Murcilago.....

I think that's it.

[Chilly]

None. Because then I'd have to dust them. And for me, it's the building that is the fun, not the looking at.

[reibuehl]

@pat-ard: I have currently the crane and the snow plow, the next one will be a salt spreader. Later maybe a trailer. For the snow plow, I plan to change the plow shield from gray to orange as soon as I have the right parts.

[Pedro Antunes]

All of them, I am more of a collector than of a builder... I usually just build the set and place it on display.

I have all the Technic sets on display. I can't bear to put them in boxes.

How do you keep them clean? :)

[SheepEater]

None of them.

Never mind the dust, being assembled for too long stresses some of the parts.

[Bricktrain]

At present 95% of my sets are built, the others will be built when I get time, they are all kept in plastic storage containers so are visible but not exposed to dust as much.

[Honorable]

Mostly large star wars and castle sets, collectible minifigures, and some old bionicle figures. Though I have to say like others have said before, I really hate dusting them, and I don't have any plastic containers at the moment.

[Brewc]

I have my 8275 and Ultimate 8043 onn display!

[mahjqa]

None. My pride is in the models I made myself, not some shopbought thousand-of-a-kind.

[RohanBeckett]

8480 Shuttle

8455 Backhoe

8448 Super Street Sensation

8880 SuperCar

8868 Airtech B Model

9396 Helicopter B Model

I used to have all my models built.. but then started a family.. and needed shelf space for other things..

Now that little boy is slowly finishing up with Duplo, I might build up some more... he's very much into Motors.. so loves anything motorised I build!

And the latest ebay 8285, been waiting for it for a while.

I will soon dismantling 8043 to make space for 42009 to sit along 8421.

I have no problem with dust as all sit in bookcase with glass doors.

Hi, not been on for a while as i've been unwell. So i'm catching up. I only have on display my Star Wars Battle Droid, set 8001, that's been on display since I bought it when it came out, my lego Fireman torch and a robotic figure I made myself out of non technic parts. I tend to build my own models and display them for a while before moving on to something else.

I always leave assembled flagships sets and in some cases "middle" sets (those with prices around 80-100 euro.

Currently I have assebmled:8880 Supercar , 8480 Sapce Shuttle,8466 Extreme offroader,8455, 8285 Tow Truck, 8274 Combine harvester, 8275 Bulldozer, 8258 Crane truck, 8043 Excavator, 8110 Unmog and 9398 Crawler. All of those are grat sets and i use them regulary at exhibitions, but they do take a lot of space.

Out of middle/small set, which did make it to stay assembled are: all three recent motorbikes (8291 Motorcycle, 2x8051 motorcycle and 9392 Quad bike and 8262 quad bike) and some special sets, which rarely occur: 8722 Snowmobile, 8274 Combine Harvester, 8263 Snow Groomer, 8047 Compact excavator, 9394 jet plane, 8068 Rescue helicopter and 9396 Helicopter, 8109 Flatbed truck and 42000 GP racer

Notable set I used just for parts are: 8295 Telehandler, 8297 offroader, 8049 tractor with log loader, 8052 Container truck.

[TimH]

I have all my Technic and Space sets on display.

[Balrog]

I usually have only the most recent sets assembled. In my current case: 9395. But I will soon disassemble that as well to build the B-model. And soon after that it will be disassembled and sorted into the rest of my collection.

[Erik Leppen]

Like a few others, I do not display sets. When I'm not MOCing, my entire collection exists of loose parts :)

Well, when I get a new set I display its main model for anywhere between one day and two weeks, depending on how much I like it, repeat for the alternative models, and after that they become parts packs.

To me, a set is a parts pack with one or two inspiring example builds :)

being assembled for too long stresses some of the parts.

Lol, I had a nice example of that when displaying 8265's main model, which is a very nice model so it survived the week, but I noticed that afterwards the tyres had a noticeable bump in them because the model's weight had rested on the same spot for a week :P
