The 75092 Naboo Starfighter for $10 off and the 75133 Rebel Alliance battle pack.

The $64 75055 was too good to be true. I went to the Walmart and they even checked in the back, but didn't have it. They said that they were redoing inventory and things were coming up as available that weren't. I remain Star Destroyer-less. Not a purchase, but my son got a 1,000 piece Mega Bloks set as a birthday gift. The bags weren't numbered. I spent 45 minutes sorting the pieces. We will need a hammer to put this thing together. FML. I will admit that the pale bluish white marbled pieces are nice.

Speaking of pricing errors, my Walmart says on the app that they have the 75055 in stock... for $64!? I'm on the case and will report back what I find.

I bought a sealed Rancor Pit set for $95 from a vendor at a LEGO fair back in January. So, I don't have any advice for you as I went the full route. My son was wanting the Rancor and his keeper minfigure, we saw the whole set and just said why not. Plus, you get a Luke, a Gamorrean guard and a skeleton figure along with the cage/pen.

Yeah, if you build is differently. But ArchieNov's MOD only adds two Technic beams to the structure where a potential gap could form. BrickCommander was saying that adding those beams would stress the cockpit build, but at the same time saying that there's nothing that would cause a gap to form due to stress/weight/pulling down if built based on the instructions. Why would the Technic beams cause stress if there's no existing stress to begin with? The Technic beams wouldn't potentially pull the cockpit apart if there's nothing pulling from the other side. That is contradictory. Like I said, it may be a pride thing. He's not going to admit he missed a stability connection point. He's going to defend his design, which is well within his rights. He may be right and we may all be wrong, but the MOD isn't going to make things worse. At worst, it may be unnecessary. But, I'll leave it on mine because I think it was obvious fix.

I'll get that ASAP.

I'll deal with them myself.

Imagination... Yes, all of those plus Obi-Wan Interceptor, the Battlefront battle packs and all of the series 3 Microfighters. That Gotham City Cycle Chase... But I digress...

My wife did not enjoy the build.

Thanks to this thread, I now want a whole fleet of the AT-AT microfighters for the AT-AT driver figure. I have one, a second on the way and the one that came with 75054.

Droid Escape Pod and the AT-DP microfighter.

It's an old code, but it checks out.

My 6 year old son has a great imagination and I'm very proud of that. You give him an action figure and he can think of a million different people it can be. So, with LEGO minifigs everything is possible. And for what it's worth, he HATES the stud shooters and spring loaded missles. He actually gets mad when Jang shoots them in his videos.

LEGO website has it at $19.99, great price for what you get. 200+ pieces and three figures.

@Bbafett: The south. But that was only one Walmart, I haven't looked at others nearby and I haven't checked the Targets or Toys R Us' nearby either.

Does anyone have any advice on this subject? Do you think it would be a wise idea to have your collection covered as an addendum to your home owners insurance policy? Or would be covered automatically under the home owners policy?

My bad, I misread that.

Hope this helps!

Just think it's odd that the designer says this shouldn't happen, but if you MOD it based on the original post, it will pull the cockpit apart.

The helmet comes in the Phantom set, but it's all white.

I feel like we are getting contradictions from BrickCommander. He says that it shouldn't bend or droop if it's built based on the instructions. But then he says that if you do the MOD suggested, it will stress the brick built cockpit area. If it were to stress the cockpit, then that's acknowledging the stress that causes the bending/drooping. I got the UCS Slave I for my birthday and did all of the MOD's suggested by the original post while I was in the process of building. I think the MOD won't stress the cockpit at all, it may actually take some strain off the tail section and make the whole model stronger. I'm guessing either something was lost in translation from BrickCommander's tone or he didn't mean to contradict himself. Maybe his pride was hurt by someone discovering a potential minor flaw in the design, that's understandable. We all just don't want our $200 set to bend/droop/flex. I don't see how this MOD would stress the cockpit unless the tail section is actually pulling down, which would mean that it is prone to creating a gap. Regardless, it is a work of art and something BrickCommander should be proud of for designing. I thoroughly enjoyed building it and love looking at it on display. With that said, did anyone else add one of the extra yellow bushings to the other side of the Technic pin that holds the large dish piece on the bottom/back of the ship? When you put it through the hole all the way, then add the bushing on the other side. Other wise, you can just pull out the dish piece, there's nothing holding it from the other side except the friction from the pin and hole. I kept wondering while I was building when something would go there to hold it from the inside. Nothing did, so I took the top part of the cockpit off to access it and add the bushing.

My wife went to Walmart and picked up the Obi-Wan Jedi Interceptor for my son, the Hoth Attack, the Ghost Microfighter and Wookiee Gunship Microfighter for me and a couple of the Mighty Micros DC sets for herself. She put together the Carbon Freezing Chamber that she had ordered last week and said it wasn't that fun of a build. My son said he was being "silly" when he stacked the wing stickers on top of each other. That was fun prying them apart.

I can take one later. I'm at work. Not sure, but it is available on the US LEGO website right now.
