Hi I'm a high school student in Toronto, and I'm a new member to eurobricks. I got my first lego when I was 5, and recently I've started to collect UCS sets. I've now owned 10212,10227,10240,75059,76023. I was considering to buy UCS Slave I in the next double VIP points promotion, does anyone know when it will come? And will this set be retired by then? Now get back to the topic, this is my second brick link project. My first one is the bat pod, and its a small set compared to those crazy UCS sets.And now I'm starting to find the next project I'm going to do.After a couple days of research, I think 10018 suits all my requirements.First of all, it is a set with 1890 pieces, which was an easy one compared to other huge UCS sets.Also, I'm surprised to find out that besides 30562 black*4, all of the other parts are quite common and their prices are reasonable.And I've decided to use spray print for plastic to turn a dark bluish grey one (other suggestions of another colour?) into a black one. Also I've noticed that blue bricks and yellow bricks can't be seen from the outside, does that mean I can replace them with any other cheaper colours?The last but not least, in my own opinion, this set is not likely to be re-released again. I've heard rumours about a new UCS Death Star and the falcon, so I've decided to work on sets that were not likely to be re-released in the future.
Tell me about ur suggestions on how to brick link this project please! Or other options that is suitable for me to bricklink, thanks for ur time.
