Received my UCS Snowspeeder last week and finally got around to building it yesterday. It was an an enjoyable build and it was really interesting to see how some of the features like opening/closing airbrakes and angled laser cannons were done.
It is a little bit fragile & heavy, so those who like to swoosh their Lego around might be disappointed. But it looks great on display and like it jumped straight out of the movie.
nice one! I'm still thinking about getting it. I have way too much stuff still in boxes and nowhere to display however which is holding me back. plus I will need to keep that money for the new falcon :D
You mean this one?Quote:

I cannot stress just how ready my body is for this :DQuote:

Yep, rumour has it that the UCS Falcon will be over a thousand bucks Australian.
I'm soo glad I don't collect Star Wars UCS sets. Super Star Destroyer is the only one I have and love it. The rest don't appeal to me. Saying that. If I can get one of those glass topped coffee tables to fit a UCS Falcon in it, I may get it.:o
yep! saw that earlier, of course people still debating how real it is!Quote:

But Lego will be officially announcing their biggest Lego (Star Wars) set ever on 1st October so it is pretty much assured it will be the Falcon.
I believe it is the biggest LEGO set full stop. Even bigger than Taj Mahal.Quote:

Their shop website (and ridiculous price gouging on it) are he only real blights on the entire company.
damn that sucks, I have seen people on FB being able to put orders through over the weekend for a back order.
I will have to take a picture of mine and you can admire that hehe
I ended up getting one on back order (to be filled by Sep 6th, not bad at all).
Just required me to delete all items, sign out, sign in, reshop and buy. Most convoluted way of "turning your shopping cart on and off again"!
I now have the Apollo rocket and some train power functions coming so I can have a custom train transport to the launch site (or maybe an imperial styled train carrying microfighters, not yet decided)
Will the Saturn V eventually be available at retail or is it a Lego store exclusive?
It has been released at David Jones and some toy shops but they aren't even hitting the shelves before they sell out.Quote:

Still tossing up on some of the other sets, I think Lego have done themselves a major disservice by not releasing any cheaper or smaller sets for the movie, when the cheapest set is about $70 for about 400 bricks, (TrU RRP) its just nasty.
Maybe if Myer's 20% off prices include the Walker and Star Destroyer they might be worth it, $180 is far more palatable than $220+
I agree, it's not 'Battle Pack' season, but maybe some odd stuff like the Canto Bight speeder or something.Quote:

what do you mean 'if'? im 99% sure i scanned the walker at myer yesterday and it came down with the saleQuote:

They had about another 5 or so in stock with plenty of other big Star Wars sets like AT Walker, Star Destroyer & Advent Calendar. Apparently Saturn V will be back sometime this month too.
Bought all the new Star Wars sets today except that vile 8 legged walker thing and BB8 (I only collect vehicles). Built the Star Destroyer today. Very nice.:)
Technically September arrivals as I cleared the layby early September but it has taken me a while to photograh

^ Nice! The Riddler set is one of the few in the series that i didn't get for the Autobub or for myself. Those minifigs look mighty good though so may pick it up at the next sale.
I got bitten by the modular bug and bought Palace Cinema and Detective's Office in the last week. I have no idea when or where they are going to be built and displayed :D
I really want the Ghostbusters Firehouse but at $400 plus it is a bit of a dream :/
Ultimate Batmobile, looks badass :D
^ yup, mine looks great in the box! :rolleyes: One of these days I'll get around to building it! :)
What is the Penguin's Arctic Roller like? I love the look of the design on the box but it seems like it might be pretty small, and also relatively expensive
Currently deboxed; getting around to building it may take a few yearsQuote:

It ends up longer and taller than the box shows and all the play features are well hidden and integrated into the actual design. It’s possibly my favourite LEGO Batman movie set, the batmobile is the only other set that may come close.Quote:

^ Nice!!
Pretty much knocks anyone's Lego budget out for a bit. Was this from Chaddy?
Yep! Luckily my name came out of the hat 😁
Sorry about image size, can't actually change it on my phone and imgur site won't let me either!
So jealous.
Congrats! :)Quote:

Lucky (and now poor) you!
Take lots of photos of the building process, a friend of mine did the “open all the bags and mix” method on the last one and the photos were insane.
According to Aus Post my UCS Snow Speeder should be arriving tomorrow.
