I'd be ok with a $200 modular next year if it was something the size of the town hall. I never understood the gripes about the modulars shrinking until i picked up a few of the older sets. The BB is a nice build and really detailed but it has tons of 1x1 pieces.

Do you have a link for this? I can't seem to find it.

Picked mine up this morning at the Lego store. They were flying off the shelves, easily sold 20 of them in the first ten minutes they were open. Here's to a lazy day of building

Floating shelves work great, I have these http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/70103622/ and they work great for individually displaying UCS set. Just make sure you have them anchored to the wall

I asked my local Lego store and they said it was a hard launch for the 1st and they wouldn't have them out before. I was disappointed as both the DO and Slave 1 were on shelves a few days early last year. Lucky you!

This is great news! Is the Falcon OT or does it have a rectangular dish? 2016 is shaping up to be an expensive year for new sets...

If you like the Slave 1 you should also get Red 5. You will regret it if you want it later and have to pay crazy after market prices once it is retired.

This is my favorite of the sets I own, enjoy!

Hi Terrasher, the UCS Tumbler is a great set but may I also suggest the UCS Tie Fighter. Some people don't like it but personally it is a great set and quite impressive once completed.

Thanks for the welcome and the advice, I must admit I am not much of an MOCer though T

Picked up the Sandcrawler recently. I was always on the fence with this set due to the price and view that it was more of a playset than a display piece. Double VIP points a few weeks back helped make up my mind . Finished building it yesterday and have to say it is a great addition! I just need to figure out how to display it with all 13 minigis.

I recently bought 10174 from a local Lego reseller, it was new but the box was completely torn up. I have been trying to snatch up as many SW UCS sets as I can afford and this is a great addition to any collection. I really like the interior mod you did as well as the top gun, the old Kenner set was the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

Hi, I have been reading forums on Eurobricks for about and year and decided today I would join the conversation! I had Lego as a kid but became a AFOL a little over a year ago. What brought me out of the dark ages were the window displays at my local Lego store, in particularly Star Wars. I am interested in UCS sets , Creator Expert (primarily modular buildings) and Lego ideas. Cheers!
