Given the numbers of shops which don't care, LEGO would need many, many, many sticks. It's just not worth it.

Have to second that, especially the levers. The colours on the outside make it look pretty rocked down, just like we know and love the original. Some of the parts look like they sat on a smokers shelf for 10 years.

The 2015 MF was one of the first ships i bought after getting back to LEGO. Yes, it's not nice we get such a limited range of sets, but some iconic sets like X-Wing, TIE and MF should always be available in some version and if it is the same version for a couple of years.

A new lawn? A Central Park sized lawn. Scaled to the MILF even the smallest SSD would be several hundred meters long ^^ At least one guy on this forum bought the house next to his just for storing his LEGO.

The 75218 costs €100 in Germany. 75102 (Poe) already was expensive at €90, compared to 75149 (Resistance) for €80. I wouldn't mind it selling at €90, if it's better than 75218 (engine f-up). Since the Death Star will leave us in 2020, looking at the LEDO DS history a new one in 2021 would be no surprise. *TADAAA* Thick box :)

So we have to wait at least until the summer wave for The Mandalorian's ship.

Wow. Okay, that's an arrow to the knee. I hope that's a fat finger typo and should have meant 770 pieces. And if not i'm curious how they plan to justify that.

Had the same thought some days ago. onecase to the rescue!

Well done, sir! Same for your control room :)

Do you want to ride that thing into battle? No way.

Sorry, 30497.

What sucks even more, is Alibaba. You don't have to look around for long on alibaba and you'll find fakes en masse. Everybody knows, the management knows, but they do nothing against it. But what do you expect from a company led by Jack Ma, who thinks his employees should be thankful for getting exploited.

Yes, it was more of a rhetorical question. 10178 (once sold as UCS), 8129, 75054, 4483, 30497...why again should a new UCS AT-AT be impossible? Edit: Typo elminated

Do UCS sets have to meet stability requirements normal sets don't have to?

This one: https://www.flickr.com/photos/153780658@N02/albums/72157710756647882 About 92cm wide and high, 44cm deep x2. In fact it consists of 2 parts. Must have been a modular furniture line about 30 years ago. Only the upper part has glass doors. The sides, the wooden doors, the top and the two panels separating the parts will get cutouts as big as possible for glass inserts. Lots of sanding and painting ahead Edit: Found typo.

You can always buy this: https://www.brickvault.toys/collections/all/products/v-19-starfighter-minfig-scale

I thought it was official LEGO, but later saw it probably originated from rebelscum. Still sounds plausible.

These? https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?P=35787&name=Tile, Modified 2 x 2 Triangular&category=[Tile, Modified]#T=C

You still got 15 months. If you are able to save $50-60 a month and wait for discount sales...that's my approach to the ISD.

Big space problems only if you don't know how to stack boxes.

It's the way how the set is put together. No problem with a playset, but then it should be a playset. Those little death star scenes for $20-30 are much nicer than everything in CC.

I'd say people don't buy it anymore, because it's just a very disappointing set. Yes, yes, nice minifigs and nice little Slave 1, but the rest is sooo uninspired, it hurts.

Both no real surprise. According to the pattern they'll bring back a new version of the DS in 2021. 10143 Death Star II - 2005/2007 10188 Death Star - 2008/2015 75159 Death Star - 2016/2020
