Seems late doesn't it - maybe giving lots of media and fan oxygen for Andor? After all they need to keep Disney happy.

Second that all the way - I now think back to the X-wing/Y-wing UCS days compared to the current and recent sets - yes they are great builds and look amazing, but I just can not spend that much.....as my Jerac RZ is lovely and metallic its a bit easier to pass on the official set (plus being display only I'm less bothered about interiors that can not be seen).

Yup second that - it looks good, but Jerac's silver beast will remain in prime position on my shelf. Might steal the instructions for the Blurg and see if its better that the ones I have.

I can highly recommend this MOC - almost built mine and once Lego sends me the last batch of corners and door rail plates it will be finished and on display - the dark blue looks cracking in real life and really pops against the white.

Ship has now gone, Manual, unused stickers, blue tile etc still available.

Sounds like my old instructor - shoulders back, head and back straight, arms slightly bent and you can stand all day on the parade ground....

As I've got Jerac's already in metallic silver - any official Lego UCS is going to have to be so amazing to be considered....and it's not often Lego do actually make a set that's as good as the best MOCs like this one.

Yup same here with trying and not landing on the various engine mods - I ended up simply adding wedges to the clips to give it a little more shape.

The mods look great - awesome job. Always interested in good engine nacelle front changes - if your willing to share as Jerac asks then I'd even redo the shiny beast's nacelles for that look. Time to bust out the spare metallic pieces......

Yup min buys can sting you, plus some BL shops have minimum average price per lots or sell parts in lots of "x" and x can be sometimes 10 up to 100....always worth doing some cart reviewing manually.

Hi William_Marshall - welcome to EB! As a fellow UK'er my thoughts on your questions 1 and 2 having started in the same place as yourself a few years ago; 1. Used parts are normally ok, unless your building a white model (its usually the first colour to fade somewhat) and don't mind some minor scuffs etc. Most BL sellers list anything significantly marking pieces they sell, and as you say you can always use them to their "best side". I only buy new parts if I absolutely need pristine finish (e.g. a new white model), want to be sure any transparent parts are in good shape or for recent parts not available in sufficient used quantities. 2. If you leave the carts created from the first auto create and then re-run it, it will not empty the first carts so then looks for the parts with the remaining sellers (ignoring the sellers and parts from round 1 which the system things are being bought and hence not available), hence a different outcome in terms of shops and price. In effect by re-running it the second time, your excluding the first pick of sellers, likewise if you run it a third time without clearing out the 1st and 2nd you then are trying to find the parts from yet another selection now without the 1st and 2nd set of sellers. Hope that makes sense. Best to re-do any wanted list / auto create cards and always check you have emptied existing carts. Whilst I do use the Wanted List and auto select feature I ways manually check the carts and do tinker about with them to make the fit better on minimum buy limits, P&P etc, it's not always major changes but can prove beneficial especially for larger orders. Not bought this MOC so can't comment on 3 and 4 which I will leave to others. Best of luck - great idea on 4 - plus it makes it your own version. PS - people are very supportive and patient on EB so don't worry about asking for help - once you hit 10 posts you can PM (I think its 10) so by all means reach out if you ever need to ask anything.

Compared to that mine will be a bargain.....but if it sold at that price wow oh wow....

Hi all. Well its a bit like buses as we say in the UK, another member selling off a lot of my Star Wars sets starting with my Starbricks U-Project - SB00101, built with new and used lego parts, original manual, unused stickers and the blue squadron tile. I bought a custom U-wing UCS style sticker as well to save using the Mirko one, Going to put my sets onto ebay but happy to give any EB member first shout. PM me if your interested and if you want any more information. Pics are on my Bricksafe link I'll aim to then get all my SW lego sets up onto Ebay later this week..

Looks great, going onto the winter 22 build list for sure.

I missed out on LSW until about 2010, some of the early stuff is still ace.

Wow now that's a real golden oldie!

Yup I did this until I could source the 4 black wheels - it looked fine, so I would think using DBG overall would also look good - your spot on the white / blue combo is the main visuals so should be fine.

I did - looks absolutely fine.

@LDigital - I still have my BL wanted list before I checked my own stock and created w new WL for the balance back in the day. Quick search gets me £295 for the majority of the parts (any condition) from UK sellers (exc P&P or using Lego BnP). No UK stock of the windscreens, but a dutch seller has them at £12 a pop, so thats another £24. So figure £320 plus p&p. Back in August 17 (wow that long ago....) I think I had about a third of the parts and managed to get in early on the rarer parts in the UK for about £170. Prices people are asking for on ebay etc are....well....indeed....

They look great together Brick-Wombat....add a Y-wing and it would be a fab trio!

I had the same problem so went for longer hoses in flat silver - I think I got a 18L and 19L and then cut them to the right size.

Nope your sorted.

A 10026? awesome - a shame its never been fully re-done in the more recent UCS style.
