Help! How do I make the connection on step 7, page 31, book 7? Force it? (Couldn't upload my pic, sorry.)

Wow. Just looked at how much it would cost to buy the engine parts. Potter More Bricks: $140 The Brick Zone: $1,440 Guess who I will be buying from.

I was looking through the instructions, and yeah, those connections are weird! I don't think I have seen those ball joints in any set except for the MagnaGuard fighter! It will be fun to build!

I bought the instructions, they look beautiful! Just placed the order for the bridge section, looks like it will be a little over $100.

OK thank you!

So probably around $1000? That's better than I thought. This may be doable lol Does anyone know about how much it would cost just to buy the parts for the bridge section? The superstructure section, not the interior part.

I hate to ask this yet again, but about how much did it cost to buy all the parts? I remember hearing $1500, is this accurate? U.S.

A darker color? Based on the pic, wouldn't white be more accurate?

Oh, nice!

On level 2, can the minifig fit standing up on the bridge when it's closed up?

What I would give... I have a 6211, anyone want to trade?

Thank you!

I also have the UCS and 7965 Falcons, and this Mod has a better exterior AND interior than 7965 and the exterior is probably a tie with the UCS (which has no commendable interior.) However, have you though about designing your own cockpit? That 7965 one is way too long. The one I made for the 7965 is probably too small and basic, but just a thought.

Are there any instructions for those blockade runners?

I haven't seen all of those yet, I didn't know they were in that. Hopefully!

Yeah, a defender would also be awesome. A shame TLG didnt re make one of those after they put blue on their first.

Just so everyone who was curious knows, Raskolnikov's "smaller," instructionalized Star Destroyer "Aggressor" is now out on Eurobricks and Rebrickable.

They look like a good scale match to my UCS Falcon, since that is also much smaller than minifig scale. They also look too big for a 7965 or such. Plus, they are totally awesome and a good size to make a fleet out of.

can you make instructions for your TIEs?

Do you ever try the "find best deal" option in the autofinder? It sometimes gives lots from outside the country, but it seems to work really well. It put Rasko's AT-AT at about $300.

I hadn't actually seen that until now... that would be awesome. Usually though I don't have a bajillion dollars to spend on legos, and I like to look at more medium-ish sized things that are more solid and accurate than TLG's.Those wings do look much nicer. Nowhere near as nice as the Aggressor, though.

this is amazing! I wouldn't mind a video of how it opens up. It almost looks in the pictures like the same size as the Tyrant! Had to buy a new table, huh?

is that TIE/in on your tv stand an MOC?

I think LEGO is starting to shy away from making the sets look nice and making them more playable. They will get more money from younger children than older collectors is my bet. There was a short period of time after they had enough parts to make it look nice and before they were only concerned with revenue, where there was a good balance between playable sets and accurate sets, and several that were both, like the Tantive IV.

I just bought a BrickLinked one for bout that price, with black rigging and no dish sticker. However, I have seen a really good mod that uses 8 curved LBG droid arms and 6020990 silver metallic parabolic ring that goes on the inside of the dish.
