Tuskano Posted January 5, 2018 Hey there! Have not really been online much, but thought to go ahead and post stuff that I have been building so far. At one point, I was planning on building a Pirate/oriental port with wooden walls and docks for my ships... then got lazy and added a laser turret atop one of the buildings and turn it to a place for most of my ships to park. Then I obtained what I thought was a 75192 Millennium Falcon to go with my 10179 Falcon. Sadly I was dupped and it is from a group called Star Plan (Or might as well be Lepin). But.... I decided to still go with it, and maybe turn it to another YT-1300 variant down the road when I finish the stockish set. Possibly add more of a interior. There are some points in the build where the instructions tell you to put the bricks one way... but the moldings won't physically allow it to work. So I am forced to go my own way on some points. Along with my YT-1300 collection I got my A-wings and V-wings and other ships. Down the road I might go to try building an actual star port for all of them... and maybe mix in the oriental buildings into the setting as much as I can lol. But yea... hope you enjoy the following pictures. The A-wings V-wings and other ships. The "real" Lego MFs. My first YT variant next to the origional MF set. A simple mirror swap and re situating the dish. Then a change of the interior. Unfortunately no pictures of the inside... No for that clone... unfortunately it all came in one box. Was a big thing just to organize it all... then there was the dang stickers. I have since went to ebay to buy better ones. Sigh... Didn't get it from ebay... but still ended up with this... yes I could complain and return... but got bricks that work with my own and a means to build a YT variant. Will have to say that Old Man Han looks good. Leia's costume is good... and Chewie is nicely painted. Droids are ok... main characters look very funky... And apparently I don't have a freighter but a frerghter... one of the many reasons why I replaced the stickers. The build. Was testing if the bags were labeled right... so one of the first things I built was the cockpit. Where I left it at. Sad part is I don't have a close-up... but when I get home I'll do that. Went the custom route on the mandible details as I plan to change it up later anyways. Hope you enjoyed them. I am away from home so can't finish it right now... last picture is where it sits and I got tired of Legos mixing up in other bags. So I poured all them together and put them in the white box the fake MF is sitting on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuppylodders Posted January 6, 2018 Be prepared for some disapproval coming your way, having knowingly bought the clone version and posted it on a *Lego* forum... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Moppo Posted January 6, 2018 Do I see a Scyk Fighter in those first two pics? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sucram Posted January 6, 2018 I think its a pretty good idea to buy a knock off for such a huge set like the ucs falcon. itd be much cheaper considering how ludicrous the price of the actual one is (1300 AUD!!) although u definitely need to replace that sticker and minifgs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was disappointed as well... so I won't be surprised. So that's why I have "fake Lego" in the search tags and mentioned it beforehand. Not really hiding it or saying "haha! Fake is better!" How I think is the fake one I can do whatever to and not worry about Lego certificates of approval. Which is why I want to keep the older UCS Falcon together how it is meant to be. I have however bought fake Lego pirate ships more so to increase the different type of sailing ships I have. Some are actually pretty nice (sails, slight different design from Lego) and maybe down the road when I have them all out, I'll do a post in the Pirate section of the forums for all my ships. 15 hours ago, Moppo said: Do I see a Scyk Fighter in those first two pics? That you do! You can see both type 1 and type 2 variants parked there. If you look in my Mocpage linked in my sig, I have those and two Dunelizards with better pictures. I first started them on Lego Digital Designer. 13 hours ago, LEGODrongo01 said: I think its a pretty good idea to buy a knock off for such a huge set like the ucs falcon. itd be much cheaper considering how ludicrous the price of the actual one is (1300 AUD!!) although u definitely need to replace that sticker and minifgs True all of that... it was sad to see Lego go out of stock so quickly for it on their website for it, was actually wanting to get one. So I am not really complaining about this one being half the price. Already got replacement stickers off ebay and the figures I hate will get sent to Lego prison lol.

I love seeing EU ships rendered in Lego, especially Mandalorian ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Was going to build a Kimogila or a Rihkxyrk but the builds never went farther than the engines. Built a Ixiyen fighter once but it was smaller then it should be. As you can see, the majority of my builds are based on my Star Wars Galaxies experience hehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
