Question 1

How do I choose the right display case size for LEGO Icons Rivendell 10316?

Accepted Answer

Rivendell is a big footprint set – roughly 39 cm high, 75 cm wide and 50 cm deep. For a comfortable fit, aim for internal dimensions of at least 45 cm high, 82–85 cm wide and 55–57 cm deep. That gives room for the angled layout, overhanging trees and your hands when you place the model inside, without everything feeling crammed.

Question 2

How do I size a display case for LEGO Icons Lion Knights’ Castle 10305?

Accepted Answer

Lion Knights’ Castle measures about 38 × 44 × 33 cm when closed. Because many fans like to unfold the walls, you should decide how you’ll display it first: Closed / slightly opened: internal footprint around 52 × 40 cm, height 45+ cm. Fully opened: you’ll need at least 75 cm width on the inside, plus a bit of extra depth for the outer walls. If you’re not sure, size the case for the opened configuration so you’ve got options later.

Question 3

How do I choose a safe display case for LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower 10307?

Accepted Answer

The LEGO Icons Eiffel Tower is enormous – almost 149 cm tall. For most homes, a tall, floor-standing case or a two-part stackable case is more practical than a single huge box. Make sure: Internal height is at least 155–160 cm; The base is deep and heavy enough to avoid tipping; You can remove front panels for access rather than lifting the tower out vertically. If ceiling height is low, consider displaying the Tower without a lid and combining a wrap-around dust shield with careful lighting instead.

Question 4

How do I size a display case for LEGO Icons Natural History Museum 10326 or Jazz Club 10312?

Accepted Answer

Natural History Museum 10326 is about 31 cm high, 39 cm wide and 25 cm deep. Jazz Club 10312 is around 30 cm high and 25–26 cm wide. For a single modular building, internal dimensions of roughly 36–38 cm high, 32–35 cm wide and 30 cm deep work well. For two modulars side by side (for example Jazz Club next to another building), double the width and add an extra 4–6 cm between buildings so the façades don’t look squashed.

Question 5

How do I plan a display case for several LEGO Icons modular buildings in one row?

Accepted Answer

Measure the combined width of all the modulars you want to display (each is roughly 25–26 cm wide), then: Add 4–5 cm gap between each building; Add 4–6 cm at each end for breathing space. Base internal height on the tallest building in the row. If you’re still growing your street, it’s often better to leave one empty “slot” in the case so you can add the next modular later without buying a second case immediately.

Question 6

How should I assemble a large acrylic LEGO Icons display case without scratching it?

Accepted Answer

Work on a clean, soft surface – an old duvet cover, towel or microfibre cloth is ideal. Keep the protective film on each panel for as long as possible while you build. When tightening screws or connectors, stop as soon as the joint feels snug; over-tightening can create stress cracks, especially on tall cases like those for castles or Rivendell.

Question 7

How do I move a heavy LEGO Icons set like Rivendell 10316 or Lion Knights’ Castle 10305 into the case safely?

Accepted Answer

Take off any loose sections first – trees, minifigure clusters, side builds – and move the main structure in a single lift if you can. Support it from underneath with two hands or even two people for larger builds. Only once the main model is centred in the case should you add the smaller sections back around it.

Question 8

How do I keep tall or fragile LEGO Icons models stable inside the case?

Accepted Answer

Use the original black or grey base plates and make sure they sit completely flat. For extra security you can: Add plates underneath to stiffen long sections; Use small clear “stoppers” behind wheels or at the back of bases; Avoid stacking other sets or books on the same base. This is particularly helpful for tall or deep sets like Rivendell 10316, Lion Knights’ Castle 10305 and Natural History Museum 10326.

Question 9

How should I clean an acrylic LEGO Icons display case without clouding it?

Accepted Answer

Stick to: A soft microfibre cloth; Plain water or a tiny drop of mild washing-up liquid. Wipe gently and dry with a second clean cloth. Avoid kitchen roll, glass cleaner, alcohol wipes and anything abrasive – those are fine for real glass but can scratch or haze acrylic, especially on large front panels.

Question 10

How often should I open the case to dust my LEGO Icons sets?

Accepted Answer

If the case seals reasonably well, a light internal dust every 4–6 months is usually enough. Over-handling increases the risk of dropped pieces or finger marks, so it’s better to do a careful, planned clean a few times a year than to keep opening the case every week.

Question 11

How can I add lighting to a LEGO Icons display case without overheating the model?

Accepted Answer

Use low-heat LED strips or puck lights, never halogen bulbs. Mount strips along the inside top or on the wall behind the case, pointing down at an angle. Warm white (around 3000–3500K) gives a cosy feel for sets like Rivendell, Jazz Club or the castle, while a slightly cooler white can suit modern Icons vehicles or city skylines. Keep LEDs a few centimetres away from plastic and never enclose hot drivers inside a sealed case.

Question 12

How do I check if a LEGO Icons display case will fit inside my existing furniture (IKEA BILLY, BESTÅ, etc.)?

Accepted Answer

Measure the usable internal space of the shelf: width, depth and height, with doors closed if you have glass doors. Compare those figures with the external dimensions of the case, and allow at least 1–2 cm clearance on every side so you can slide the case in and out without scraping.

Question 13

How should I pack a LEGO Icons display case and model if I’m moving house?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, remove the LEGO model and wrap it in bubble wrap or soft cloths, keeping major sections together. Pack the case panels flat with cardboard between them and lots of padding around corners. Label the box clearly as “FRAGILE – DISPLAY CASE & LEGO” so nobody stacks heavy items on top.

Question 14

How do I safely unpack a large or tall LEGO Icons display case when it’s delivered?

Accepted Answer

Open the parcel on the floor or a big table, not on a cramped worktop. Cut the tape rather than ripping the box. Take quick photos of the outside box, internal packing and each panel as it comes out. If you spot cracks or deep scratches, keep all packaging and contact support with your order number and photos – that makes replacements much easier to arrange.

Question 15

Why do big LEGO Icons sets like Rivendell 10316 or Natural History Museum 10326 benefit so much from a display case?

Accepted Answer

These sets are large, detailed and packed with light-coloured pieces – Rivendell alone is 39 × 75 × 50 cm with lots of foliage, and the museum has a complex façade across 39 × 25 cm. On an open shelf they gather dust quickly and are easy to knock. A case keeps dust, pets and curious hands at bay, and makes them feel like proper centrepieces rather than toys left out long term.

Question 16

Why shouldn’t the internal measurements of the display case be exactly the same as LEGO’s published dimensions?

Accepted Answer

Official dimensions (for example Rivendell 39 × 75 × 50 cm, Lion Knights’ Castle 38 × 44 × 33 cm, Natural History Museum 31 × 39 × 25 cm) assume a perfectly square build with no tiny overhangs. In reality, plates and slopes can sit a fraction proud, and everyone builds slightly differently. If the case is exactly the same size, you’ll scrape towers, trees or flags every time you move the model. A couple of centimetres spare on each side makes life much easier.

Question 17

Why is acrylic usually preferred over glass for LEGO Icons display cases?

Accepted Answer

For big Icons sets, acrylic has three big advantages: Lighter – safer on bookcases and easier to lift on and off furniture; More impact-resistant – less likely to shatter if it’s bumped; Very clear – good-quality acrylic gives a “museum-style” look. Glass can still look lovely but is much heavier and more fragile, so it needs stronger fixings and more care when moving the case.

Question 18

Why does UV light matter even if my LEGO Icons set is inside a case?

Accepted Answer

A case stops dust and knocks, but unless the glazing is UV-filtering, sunlight will still slowly fade colours – especially whites, bright reds and light blues. Icons display pieces like Rivendell, Natural History Museum and Lion Knights’ Castle have large pale areas that can yellow over the years if left in strong sun. Keeping cases away from direct sunlight and using blinds or curtains during the brightest hours makes a noticeable difference long-term.

Question 19

Why do some Eiffel Tower 10307 display solutions use multiple stacked sections instead of one giant case?

Accepted Answer

Because the tower is around 149 cm tall, a single piece of acrylic that size would be extremely heavy, awkward to move and difficult to manufacture without bowing. Splitting the display into two or more stacked sections lets you: Move each piece safely; Access the middle of the model if you ever need to; Replace a damaged panel without scrapping an entire huge case.

Question 20

Why is it worth leaving visible “breathing space” around a LEGO Icons model inside the case?

Accepted Answer

Visually, a few centimetres of neutral space around the build helps it feel framed and intentional, like artwork. Practically, it gives room for your hands, for tiny shifts over time, and for adding small extras such as nameplates or minifig stands without everything feeling squashed.

Question 21

Why do many collectors group modular buildings together but give sets like Rivendell or the castle their own case?

Accepted Answer

Modulars are designed to form a coherent street, so they look fantastic when displayed as a row under one long case. Sets like Rivendell 10316, Lion Knights’ Castle 10305 or Eiffel Tower 10307 are more like individual sculptures – their shapes and themes are so dominant that they usually deserve their own dedicated display to really shine.

Question 22

Where’s the best place in my home to put a LEGO Icons display case?

Accepted Answer

Ideal spots are: A solid sideboard or console table in the living room; A sturdy bookcase or cabinet in a study or home office; A dedicated display unit in a games room. You want somewhere you can enjoy looking at the model, but not somewhere where people constantly brush against it on the way past.

Question 23

Where should I avoid placing a LEGO Icons display case if I want it to last?

Accepted Answer

Avoid: Directly above radiators or heaters; On sun-baked window sills or in conservatories; Very damp rooms such as bathrooms or steamy kitchens. Heat, moisture and strong UV can warp panels and backdrops, and will slowly fade bricks on sets like Jazz Club 10312, Natural History Museum 10326 or Lion Knights’ Castle 10305.

Question 24

Where should I keep the instruction books and spare parts once the LEGO Icons set is in its display case?

Accepted Answer

Slip them into labelled zip-bags and store them in a flat storage box or document wallet, ideally near the display – for example in the same cabinet or a nearby drawer. Keeping everything together makes repairs, rebuilds or resale much simpler.

Question 25

Where can I find reliable measurements for my LEGO Icons sets before ordering a case?

Accepted Answer

Check: The official LEGO product pages (under “Specifications”); Trusted databases like Brickset, which list model sizes in centimetres for most Icons sets; Well-known retailers, which often repeat those dimensions. Always use model size, not the shipping box size, as your starting point.

Question 26

Which LEGO Icons sets should I prioritise for a display case if I can’t cover everything at once?

Accepted Answer

If you’re in the UK and space or budget is limited, most collectors tend to prioritise: Rivendell 10316 – huge footprint, dense detail, lots of foliage. Lion Knights’ Castle 10305 – wide, tall, full of minifigures and small elements. Natural History Museum 10326 – large modular with intricate façade. Very tall icons like Eiffel Tower 10307 if you have the ceiling height. These are the builds that take longest and are most painful to clean or repair if knocked.

Question 27

Which style of display case works best for LEGO Icons modular buildings?

Accepted Answer

For modulars (Jazz Club, Natural History Museum, etc.), a low, wide case that matches the pavement footprint and gives 4–5 cm air above the roofline usually looks best. If you’re building a whole street, aim for cases with the same external height and depth so the run looks coherent even as you add more buildings.

Question 28

Which case depth is right for LEGO Icons vehicles versus buildings?

Accepted Answer

Vehicles and trains (for example Icons cars or locomotives) are usually fine with 10–12 cm internal depth. Buildings and landscapes like Rivendell or the castle need more space for courtyards, trees and walls – think 18–25 cm internal depth, depending on the set. Going too shallow risks pressing details against the front; going too deep can make smaller models feel “lost” inside the box.

Question 29

Which lighting colour temperature suits different LEGO Icons displays?

Accepted Answer

Warm white (around 3000K): great for fantasy sets like Rivendell, classic castles and cosy modular streets. Neutral white (around 3500–4000K): suits museums, city buildings and most vehicles. Cool white (4000K+): can work for sci-fi or very modern Icons sets, but can look a bit harsh in a living room if overdone. Whatever you choose, keep it consistent across cases in the same room to avoid a patchwork effect.

Question 30

Which cleaning products are safe – and unsafe – for LEGO Icons display cases?

Accepted Answer

Safe: soft microfibre cloths, plain water, a drop of mild washing-up liquid. Avoid: kitchen roll, scouring pads, alcohol sprays, standard glass cleaner (for acrylic), solvents. For the LEGO itself, avoid household cleaners entirely; a soft, dry brush is usually enough.

Question 31

What information do I need before ordering a LEGO Icons display case?

Accepted Answer

Have these ready: Set number and name (e.g. 10316 Rivendell, 10305 Lion Knights’ Castle, 10326 Natural History Museum, 10307 Eiffel Tower); Built model dimensions (H × W × D) from a reliable source; The size of the shelf, cabinet or floor area where you’ll place the case; Whether you want space for extras like plaques, minifig stands or second sets later. The more precise you are, the less chance of ordering a case that’s just slightly wrong.

Question 32

What usually comes in the box with a LEGO Icons display case, and what doesn’t?

Accepted Answer

You can normally expect: Pre-cut clear panels; A base or plinth; Connectors or screws, sometimes with rubber feet; A simple assembly guide. You should not expect the LEGO set itself unless it is very clearly clearly stated – most listings are “display case only” for sets you already own.

Question 33

What should I do if my display case arrives with cracked or badly scratched panels?

Accepted Answer

Keep all packaging and take clear photos of: The outside of the shipping box, showing any dents or tears; The packing inside; Close-ups of the damage on each affected panel. Send these plus your order number to customer service. For UK orders, most reputable brands will arrange replacement panels or a new case once they’ve reviewed the evidence.

Question 34

What’s a sensible maintenance routine for LEGO Icons display cases?

Accepted Answer

A simple routine is: Monthly: wipe the outside of the case with a dry microfibre cloth; Every 4–6 months: open the case, gently dust the model and check for loose parts; Annually: inspect fixings, feet and lighting, and make sure the base is still flat and not bowing under the weight. This keeps everything looking fresh without constant fiddling.

Question 35

What should I consider if my LEGO Icons collection is valuable and I’m thinking about insurance?

Accepted Answer

If your collection includes high-value sets like Rivendell, Lion Knights’ Castle, Eiffel Tower or multiple modulars, it’s worth: Keeping a simple inventory with set numbers, photos and receipts; Noting the approximate replacement cost of each set and case; Checking your home insurance to see if collections are covered or need specifying separately. Proper display cases help protect the physical sets; clear records help if you ever need to make a claim.
