    If you've got a bunch of spare LBG tiles, wedges and plates in your parts collection, you can freely customize 75252. That's what I did with mine, and while it may not look as great as some MOCs available out there, trying to replicate the details / texture of the ship on your own is a ton of fun! The set itself is already incredible, but modding it makes it even better. The fun doesn't stop when you're done with the instructions!

    Woooooah! That bulldog mould looks awesome! Hope we get it in a cheap set or in Bricks and Pieces.

    I finally got Corner Garage back in August, but seeing as how busy I've been with work, school and other sets, I think I'll wait until I purchase the 2020 modular to open the CG and make a double addition at once to my modular city! Shelves are starting to run out, though... Hopefully we'll get pictures in about two weeks!

    I hope not. I'd rather have a car with more curves and a more interesting / difficult to replicate front, like a 1950s Plymouth or a Chevrolet Bel Air. TLG has surprised me for the better (Beetle ) and the worse (Aston Martin ), though. The Mustang looks great, but I still have a soft spot for older, curvy cars.

    What do you all think the stock situation will be like in stores for the release of the 1989 Batmobile on the 29th? I'd love to buy it on release but am unable to get to my nearest store before 4pm. Only issues I've had with store stock is queuing before opening for the 75252 Star Destroyer, and stores often being out of stock of the Stranger Things set. Treehouse and Disney Station I've managed to get on release, but set stocks varies depending on the popularity of the set, date of release and freebies accompanying it.

    Very nice looking set, I might buy it on day 1. Best case scenario I was hoping for, for the CAD price.

    Big pass. 155CAD for a non-articulated, unbuildable, plain wooden figure? I'm a huge fan of buildable LEGO sets, but all other TLG paraphernalia doesn't interest me.

    Is this a november or december release? If it's November, then the press release ought to be next week.

    I think the model is about 24 studs wide, which is pretty big. It looks great so far and I'm sure it will looks better in the official pictures. I'm having a hard time seeing 3300 pieces here, though. Of course they are there, I'm just wondering how complex the inner build is. 300USD? Hopefully no more than 350CAD, but I'm keeping expectations low.

    God is dead and TLG has killed him.

    Obviously, nobody is forcing anyone to buy anything, but when people have been looking forward to an unrevealed set for quite some time, and the finished product doesn't meet their expectations, there's going to be some frustration. ---------------- I like the set - kinda. The more I look at it the more details I find that are not so appealing. I'll wait to see the set in person before pulling the trigger. After all, seeing the Tantive IV built in-store helped me make up my mind and remove it from my wishlist. As for the white-tan debate, I understand both sides of the debate, and am leaning towards the "white is OK" side, since there are always going to be sacrifices when a project from Ideas has to be adapted to fit TLG's standards and available pieces.

    I love the OT, like the PT, and don't care for the ST. I won't watch episode 8 unless episode 9 is overwhelmingly well received, but I'm still interested by sets from episodes 4, 5 & 6. I guess that if 9 underperforms, TLG will simply allocate less sets for that movie and focus on other episodes and shows. Star Wars is successful enough to still survive on the glory of previous films instead of depending on how the new movies will perform.

    The set looks pretty great, and 90CAD for 900 pieces ain't too bad either. I still have to visualize the size of the skeletons with my tape measure, but 20x40cm for the T-Rex is promising!
  14. Terrasher
    Woah, those are a lot of errors for a single set. I only got a slightly bent 2x14 (or 16 or something big like that) plate that I managed to replace with one from my collection. I hope TLG fixes whatever is faulty here - I wouldn't want to run into any missing pieces or pages in a future set, especially if they're pretty uncommon like the LBG half domes.

    Also finally purchased the UCS Y-Wing at 20% off (from another store. It doesn't seem to be discounted at S@H). Had this set in the back of my mind since it was revealed - couldn't pass on it when it might retire soon and when big D2C sets go on sale once in a blue moon here in Canada!

    I really hope TLG doesn't stop releasing any modulars. They some of the most original and refreshing sets. Not licensed, not overly expensive - just some of the simplest and yet most beautiful things you can create: buildings. I admit the line has indeed become a little buried under all the other D2Cs being released, but it's still one of the most special themes, IMO. Plus, if they're selling well I see no reason for TLG to stop releasing them.
  17. Terrasher
    I have mine on either a desk, dresser or Ikea Algot shelves. Anything at least ~45cm deep to make sure the stand is secure.

    Just finished bag #9. Incredible ship, I absolutely love it. I'm almost done with the underside of the ISD, and am already thinking of how I could modify it to add more detail. I'll certainly be gathering all the loose tiles, wedge plates and greebles from my collection to add to the ISD and make it even more outstanding. I'm looking forward to others' MODs!
  19. Terrasher
    I hope TLG keeps making these giant UCS sets like 75192 and 75252, which use the ultra thick boxes. I'd be surprised if we saw one in 2020, but there may be hope for 2021, since 75192 came out two years before 75252. I'd love a UCS AT-AT or a minifigure scale Jabba's Sail Barge with two Skiffs and a Sarlacc Pit.

    Got the first one at my Store! Woohoo! There were about 8 people queued up by opening time. First time I'm ever queueing up in front of a store before it opens to buy something. Other AFOLS were really friendly, we discussed UCS sets, the size and weight of 75252 (no wheels = it's a behemoth to haul around) and the new VIP system. Might have been a little difficult to wake up so early and have to wait so long, but it's a pretty neat experience.
  21. Terrasher
    Welp, I arrived a liiiiiittle earlier than I intended to. Suffice to say I'm a one man queue so far. Also, first time seeing it in person. It's HUGE!
  22. Terrasher
    I'll go queue at my local Store in a couple of hours, hopefully to be there also about a couple of hours before it opens. When 75192 released, they had 10 on release day and 30 minutes before the store opened there were already too many people queueing. This time they have 20 75252s. Hopes are high! (I hope)
  23. Terrasher
    Woah, those are some short runs (except for the Death Star). I already have 75192, but it'll still be a shame to no longer see the massive box in Stores.
  24. Terrasher
    I hope so. Between more stock, no black card, worse ppp, less iconic, less hype, not the largest set ever, all of the complaints about the interior, minifigures and studs, and considering it releases on a Wednesday, I'd be surprised if it sells out in a day.

    Alright, after watching the designer video and the HD pics on the shop, this is pretty much a day one purchase for me, too. I'm most disappointed by the size of the gap running down the middle of the ship, but compared to 10030, it's not as bad as it could be. It's unrealistic to expect the same level of detail as MOCs made out of 15.000 pieces. I'm a sucker for huge sets, and this one is massive. I get that the price / part ratio is pretty bad, but I think the real value is in the size and weight of the set, considering how many large plates it uses. All of these negative comments and people saying that they'll wait for a discount give me hope of snagging one on release day. I've never seen 75192 discounted in Canada, so 850CAD / about 650USD is a bullet I'm willing to take for such a beast. Now, how does one make enough space to accomodate this set?
