I like the UCS Interceptor but that angle on the stand sucks. I want to see the front without having to put it on a low shelf. I guess I'll just flip it around like with the UCS X-wing.

I don't think prices on 75095 are bad enough to warrant a remake of the standard TIE yet.

75355 sold out again.

The UCS X-wing and 75348 are now available for backorder.

Even with all the complaining I saw, 75355 is sold out at the US Lego site and at all three of my local stores.

Yeah, that's the best Lego Falcon I've ever seen.

The intakes are taller than the canopy and descend to the bottom of the ship when the wings are closed. Look at the movie shots.

The engines were that big in A New Hope.

It's more like 20 years. There has not been a UCS labeled X-Wing since 7191.

If they couldn't do chrome then why not that metallic silver they use for saber hilts for the Crest?

They're not easy to get aligned right. The colors don't match the bricks sometimes. They peel with age and have worse durability than print. They significantly slow down the build process for me because of trying to get them on right.

That's the landspeeder, Luke, Obi-Wan and C-3PO from 75173. The sign above the door, the Ubrikkian 9000 pod, Han Solo, Greedo, Wuher and the Sandtrooper with the white pauldron are from 75205. R2-D2 is from 75218. The Ithorian is from 75051. The Sandtrooper with the orange pauldron is from 9490. The spacemen are from 8683. The two Duros and two Rodians are from 75133. The humans from 75133 are also in there. I put a Minifig Hair Swept Back with Widow's Peak on one of them for my Dannik Jerriko. The Talz is Thi-Sen from 8085. The Jawas are from 75198. For the Tonnika sisters I'm using Satele Shan from 9497 and a Resistance soldier from 75103. For the two Saurins I'm using two Bossks. For Arleil Schous I used the head and legs from 9463 and Mace Windu's torso from 75019. For Rycar Ryjerd I plan on using the head from the Gellert Grindelwald minifigure bag, black short legs, a Han Solo torso from 75205, a red minifigure scarf, and a combed from front to rear minifigure hair in dark bluish grey. The bounty hunters from 75167 are also in there, along with the Bith musicians from 75052. If you guys have any ideas on how to make the other aliens or improve the figures I have I would like to hear ideas. I have been using this as a guide.

I moved the band to the other side. That's where they are when you go into the cantina in The Lego Skywalker Saga video game.

I don't care how much more it costs; use printed pieces on UCS sets instead of stickers.

For that much I thought 75323 would be closer to the scale of the ship in the show.

I added some figures from 75290, added those table light things, and changed some of the cups.

Yeah I did.

I just received the shipping notification email from Lego for my UCS Gunship.

On the order status page it has "Your order status may remain ‘In Warehouse’ for several days as we’re currently receiving very high volumes of orders." How are they not prepared for this after what happened with 75192? This is a UCS release, along with several sets from popular TV shows. Did you not see this coming?

Lego.com has this message: "We expect to see shipping delays over the coming days. We’re working hard to get your items delivered as quickly as possible and will send you an email when your order ships. Please check your Order Status for updates." If that's the case then take this line off your site: " Items in stock ship the next business day (Monday through Friday excluding holidays) if placed by 12pm EST."

My damn gunship still hasn't shipped. so much for the next business day for in stock items line

My UCS gunship hasn't shipped yet.

I use the Kingdom Brick Supply table.

We don't know that. It could be they just have a lot of stock. Maybe they learned after the 75192 disaster.
