39.52 + 40.40
+ 28.20 + 27.56 + 27.28 + 26.66 + 35.74 + 34.72 + 25.00 + 79.96 + 80.00 + 2.18 + 1.00 + 1.50 = $449.72 Grand Total (not including the Lego sets)
Therefore, this entire project cost me about $450 US Dollars. Price will vary depending on how patient you are using Craigslist and if you catch some of these items on sale. Moreover, lights are optional … so price without lights would be around $370 (if you want to further reduce the cost). If you think about it, that's not too bad for a large fully enclosed display cabinet. Custom displays like this can run into the thousand, so this DIY is a good
option and all the money saved = more Lego sets ... BAM!
