Expensive, yes. Overpriced? No.

yep- this. Large UCS cantina= instant buy for me.

Ugh that was the least interesting part of season 7. Cardboard characters compared to the complexity in character development in most of the rest of the series. Star Wars meets the A-Team. But whatever. Might lead to some interesting sets.

My money has it's bags packed and is ready to go...

looking superb!

Based on the images you posted so far it's, an automatic purchase of instructions here as well.

Terrasher put a lot of tiles on his model. Looks much much better. On page 2 of this thread: Still too many visible studs for me though. Still debating getting the Monarch or getting this and fully tiling and MODing it.

Same here. Actually seems a bit silly to order it now. Was looking everywhere for a reason, some promo or anything that would make ordering something 6 months ahead of time logical. Nope. May 4th makes way more sense.

move along now.... move along.

This actual looks pretty interesting. You pay for it- but having all the pieces come from a single source at one time, knowing they are all real lego pieces, and knowing the designers are on board- seems like it would be worth it.... Probably the only way I would be able to consider something the size of the Monarch for example. hmmmm

giving this a bump- just cus' it looks really interesting. This and the Venator project from @thire5 are looking super promising.

Surprising choice, and a fantastic build!

Hope the reveal and Bomber instructions will be a joint announcement...

Cockpit design is really pretty poor (you have to take it apart to open it). It's also the wrong shape and wrong size. Even light dusting it caused it to fall apart. Particularly around the cockpit. The stand design was not great, required the set to actually lean on the ground, and that caused some bending. Underside of the wings are not finished and easy to see. There was more, but that was more than enough to make it annoying. And sitting next to the UCS Snowspeeder and Y-Wing it jut looked (to me) like an obviously a second rate effort. The short window of availability for it tells me I was not alone. I think they did a nice job on the main body and the build on that was interesting, but the rest was a let down. I love the ship, but in the end I just couldn't stand the model. Just my opinion of course. I brink linked it (thank goodness) so I didn't pay too much and that made the decision to use it for parts easier.

LOL! Exactly.
