I finally opened mine and set it up over the weekend.  While I like the concept, its just too big (that's what she said).  I even removed a bunch of the "wire frame" that would require an even taller space.

I'm trying to maximize space, so I'm not sure I'm going to keep this displayed.  I'll give it a go and see if I can get things below and on top packed in kind of tight, but one of the challenges is that there just weren't that many characters that interacted with this scene.  I'll probably put all of the Cloud City denizens we have (not many), and maybe all the bounty hunters from TESB, but there is still going to be a bunch of room leftover.

Ultimately I'm glad Hasbro did this playset for those who love it, and just for the fact that they did a playset, but I'm not sure it'll stay in my shelves for very long.

I kinda agree, but wouldn’t want a truncated one.  I can’t help but think this is partially why it comes in halves too.  Complete, it’s a massive playset/display.  A kind of iconic one which is nice though.

It's definitely very large.  I think the options you have in whether or not to attach the staircase and the wireframe make it so that you can choose exactly how you want to display it.

Frankly, I'm a little surprised when I see these sitting at Best Buy stores.  I would have thought that some people would be scooping them up for the unique Stormtroopers.

I have been tempted, but the one at my local Best Buy has a box that's pretty mangled.
This is the way.
