I have a Vittsjo for most of my modulars and bigger LEGO builds, and everyone I've shown said it looks nice. The 2x4 one.
Woah, that looks great.

I have one or two more larger sets that I think those gaps are too small for. I could probably move Simpsons house, but then I'd be afraid of having too much weight/size on the top of it.
Not that they'd break the shelf, more that they'd tip the thing forward on me.
Thank you! It's almost completely full now, haha.

Oh I'll be browsing for sure! Can't just go in there and leave with one thing.

I have a couple Vittsjo shelves as well and they work perfectly. I ended up buying a couple battery powered LED puck lights and attached them to the top of the shelving unit so they shine down through the shelves. I'm sure you could use some light strips as well if you have bigger sets that would block the light from filtering down.

Brick Bank looks so lonely down there. You should get Assembly Square to keep it company.
And I have two billy bookcases with doors on them (free!) for my modulars. They fit perfectly. The downside is you can't do anything deeper than modulars in there.

Free doors?!

Hahaha, there's a bunch of other stuff down with it now, but I just finished Ninjago Temple Of Spinatzu or whatever it was, plus I have Carousel, Assembly Square, the Ninjago Boat, and something else still to build.
I had a huge backlog of things to do and had no room until I got that bookshelf.
I was going to get the bookcases instead, but like you just said, you run out of room that way.

The bookcases were free. A coworker was getting rid of the bookcases. There is a divider on the doors, so it does obscure some of the view, but I can't argue with free.
Temple of Airjitzu is so damn good. I really want more classic japanese style buildings like that. I am not into all the jets and crazy stuff from Ninjago, but when they do cool dragons or classic style builds like Airjitzu and Destiny's Bounty, I am totally there.

All I've been building before that was either modulars or architecture (just worked out that way) and I forgot how exciting LEGOs could be. Every bag was fun little stuff for the Temple, and I was just so used to doing super repetitive stuff over and over that I had way more fun doing the Temple build than the few before it.

You want repetition? Get Big Ben. So much repetition, but that is the only way to get it looking so good.
They have really stepped up the vehicles in the Ninjago Movie subtheme though - check out the Water Strider, it's like a cross between Ultra Agents, Alien Conquest, War of the Worlds, and The Matrix:
And it's only $30 for 494 pieces (including 4 minfigs)!

That one did intrigue me. Mainly because it is a mech of some sort. Although the big mech from the line is a no go with those stiff legs.

Dust is something that annoys me too. All my Legos are on open shelves. I already desassembled Black Pearl and Queen Mary's to get rid of the dust once.
I would like to display my modulars in a city-like display with roadplates and such, over some tables. But how to deal with dust in this case? Glass closed shelves seems a better solution, but only for individual sets or inline display of the modulars.
JANG was very positive about it in his review:

Also I love the asymmetrical look of the Ice Tank:
And the Lightning Jet looks insane:
And I absolutely adore this set:

Lego Worlds is where alot of AFOL dreams go to live now. They already have alot of Monster Fighter sets and characters in the game.
I picked up the space DLC and love it ^_^
The lack of knee joints of the Fire Mech is disappointing but it's an otherwise fun set.

I was able to resist the Disney Castle. It was not easy, but I saw the post, put it on the basket case, wonder for a bit, and gave up....

If it's past 90 days and I have a receipt to the lego store, can I still return an item for cash?
I'm going to return my snowspeeder that's still sealed and save that $200 for the falcon
2 days past 90 days lol, I think I'll just go in and see

If you can find one close enough to msrp, get Temple of Airjitzu.
Been eying it for a very long time. Never found it below mrsp

I desperately need a decent steam train. Can't afford to get the Emerald Night
Lone Ranger train is cool and cheaper.

While not the same thing, why not to get the Lone Ranger 79111 Constitution Train?
And you can mod it to make it Powered!

The Holiday Train is still going to be available this year and may even see clearance prices. It comes power function ready and despite the name is pretty easy to mod to remove the "holiday" stuff.
Also out of left field suggestion, the MF Ghost Train set is still reasonably priced for an oop set.

If you were in USA I would offer the second one I have. But really, that set is up there with my all time faves.
