MOC Pages user Dave aka F2 posted his MOC of Docking Bay 327. It’s built around 10179 Ultimate Collector’s Series Millennium Falcon and is just chock full of details. He’s also integrated about 67 LED lights to make it glow at nicely at night. Check out his full gallery of images for more.
After seeing this post about the wall mounting of etcknight’s customized USC Millenium Falcon people were understandably curious about how he did it. Wonder no more, because he’s posted this video in the forum and says there are more details to come about this incredible creation.
Thanks for the update etcknight!
If you’ve ever wondered what your UCS Millenium Falcon would look like mounted on the wall, here’s your answer! Forum Member etcknight had been toying with the idea for some time even asking if anyone else had tried using a TV wall mount to hang one before. Eventually he bit the bullet and got to work on not only mounting it, but tricking it out by cross breeding it with a Hasbro Millenium Falcon toy. Even if you aren’t a fan of the non-LEGO customization, you really have to give etcknight credit for a mounting solution that’s just this side of genius.
… which actually starts May 3rd, which is kind of odd if you ask me. Why not start May 4th and continue to May 5th?

The email also states:

But there’s no other information as to how. This may be a LEGO retail brand store effort. The first-edition UCS Falcon came with a special first-run certificate that was only available during the first production run of the set.
