I got lucky yesterday and picked up a Paradise Estate from a local seller. I paid $100 CAN and it's near complete (missing the tiny kitchen stuff, tv and coffee table) and in fantastic condition. She threw in six ponies as well, which was nice. I excitedly brought it home and assembled it. It's quite incredible, but now what? It's freakin' enormous. I have no room for it and I'm looking for a way to store it without breaking it down completely, because it'll be ridiculous to assemble again. Any suggestions

Set up it on someone else's bed and make 'em sleep on da floor like a dog, that's what I'd do, 'cause I am hardcore MEAN>

Bwahahahaha!


what an amazing score!
 
Yes, this is the trouble with that fabulous playset... sadly, mine is in storage with the rest of my collection because we don't currently have space. In the past I have displayed it in sections on the pony shelves I had (so in complete building/room sections, but not all connected together)

For storing out of sight, i keep each building section intact and place in a large box. I fill the inside of the room with ponies (if I'm packing everything away) or something else to give it support from the inside and then pack it carefully so the box top doesn't crush it.

If you are interested, i will try to find photos of the way i used to display it, if that helps?

Great purchase! I love my Estate.
 
I display mine like this (pardon the mess), but if you could find or make 2 sorta of "box" stands you could maybe place the rooms on top of each other and that would save some more space? Like make it 2-story almost?

I have mine stacked on top of each other it might as well be a apparentment complex because that is what it looks like. My kid says the ponies would have a hard time getting into it they would fall out if they were only earth ponies.... lol the things she comes up with.
 
I know you didn’t want to take it apart, but if you’ve got room for an ikea Kallax shelf, each individual room will fit into one of the kallax shelves. You could display it that way and it would take up room vertically instead of on the floor.

Congrats on the find!

What about getting a small table and displaying it in the middle of your pony room? - Have you got a pony room? How about to the very top of a shelf?
 
I've completely outgrown my condo. It's only a one bedroom with a very small storage area, which I have turned into my pony closet. Absolutely no room to display Paradise Estate, so I condensed it as much as possible and put it in a large box. The box is still taking up too much space. Argh. I may have to send it to Skybreeze ;)

The second photo is the sad state of affairs of my pony closet. I want to get all that crap off the floor. The large, ugly box contains the condensed Paradise Estate.
