  1. Sorry wasn’t completely clear. I’m looking to use the same piece but in black as opposed to clear. So I should still be able to lower/raise wings and not impact the look from the exterior. But looks like you’ve answered my question that it won’t be visible from outside. Less than 800 pieces to go!
  2. Are you planning on uploading a parts lists to rebrickable? Would like to understand approx. costs pof this prior to purchasing instructions. Thanks.
  3. question for those that have built this, with regards to the 8 technic gearboxes that you need for the wings. Are they visible, since I am looking to use alternative to the clear one's that are in the parts list, which will reduce costs quite significantly.
  4. Queued up at Leicester Sq and got one of the 100 Falcons with the special VIP cards. Very happy now!
  5. delete. my bad
  6. It will be in the format of additional VIP points, leftover polybags from previous promos, the odd 10% flash sale. Don't expect any limited promo sets. Given the challenges that Lego are going through with having to cut costs, don't expect any such special limited freebies, since these cost to develop and make.
  7. It is happening. I know one of the staff that will be working that night.
  8. To those people who gave me abuse and called me out for being a liar since i was a newbie, i hope you're eating humble pie. Catching up with my contact in a few weeks and will look to have news about next year's plans.
  9. And she's finished. Thanks Mirko for a great design and for sharing this with the community. It will feel right at home with the rest of UCS collection. Blue 24 standing by... Mostly used parts from my collection. There are different shades of white, in some places, when you get close up, but i think that adds to the effect, since in the film the U-Wing had seen better days!
  10. Link to my flickr page for my build. it's epic! https://flic.kr/s/aHsm7H4H4i
  11. Blue 24 here. All bricks in place and currently being sorted and will be building very soon. Watch this space.
  12. There's almost 300 pieces that can be used so very good coverage, including one of the 2 canopies that are needed (which is the most expensive piece in the moc). Also you'll need a few of the mini figures to complete the crew. So if you can pick up 75155 at a good price it will be well worth it. Remaining pieces can be used for other MOCs.
  13. Instructions have just arrived and I must say it was well worth the wait! This is a work of art! I now appreciate why it took so long to finish the manual. Lego can a learn a lot from this! If Lego had any plans to release a UCS version of the U-Wing then I'm pretty sure that that they will have to think long and hard about how they will top the SB00101. My bricks should arrive in the next week and looking forward to building this work of art. Thank you Mirko. Blue Squadron #24!
  14. Got my email with payment details on Wednesday and got sent the parts list yesterday via email. Had about 40% of the parts already (using some different colour bricks for those that aren't part of the exterior). Have made 4 orders via bricklink for the remaining parts which comes to about £200 (mixture of new and old). Manual is due to be delivered today despite order only being made Wednesday evening (that's what I call service). Can't wait to build this amazing ship! Thanks Mirko.
  15. You must have had a lot of orders. I replied on day 1 and still to receive an email requesting payment. Hope to get my email soon, since want to get this built before the Falcon comes out! :-)
  16. Don't worry I got the same treatment back in February when I posted (i think i had also only made a few posts previously) and i said that a falcon was coming based on pics of the interior that someone had showed me taken by a Lego insider. As you said not long to go to the reveal.
  17. Well the manager of my local store confirmed to me it's coming and the biggest issue they have is where to put the blooming thing. This person has never let me down with info. A pic, official or unofficial can't be far off if stores have already been informed. Also expect there to be supply issues since if people do go nuts expect it to sell out quickly since stores will be getting a limited supply given cost and he size of the thing. Will be in the queue for this on day 1. The bad news is that I've been told by a Lego insider that it's a remake of 10179 whereas previously I was told by a different insider that there was an interior and even saw a pic on a phone of it. This pic was back in Jan. Given that the news of no interior was most recent, then this may take precedent over the earlier news and thus maybe original plans were may have been shelved.
  18. What moc's have you previously done? No disrespect, but a lot will be driven by how creative and experienced you are. If this is your first MOC, then best start out with simple simpler as opposed to going straight into the deep end and try and do a 6,000+ MOC that has lots of detail and is very fragile.
  19. Palpatine's Shuttle would be cool
  20. First of all an immense design. I think this rivals Mortsev's Nebulon! Now there would be an interesting debate! I now have a dilemma that no doubt others have as well. I have a 10030 ISD. The collector in me wants to keep that on display but practically it doesn't make sense given that the two are similar in size and thus would take up a lot of space. With all of my UCS sets and the growing number of MOCs that I have already planned, space Is now a serious issue. Im leaning towards packing up my 10030 and replacing it with this although that would mean that my official UCS collection on display would be missing one of the Crown Jewels! Also I must say from a pricing perspective this is great value given the number of pieces.
  21. Fantastic! Amazing!
  22. There's an option in LDD which allows you to create instructions. Although LDD is not the most logical, and you may need to break down the model into separate sections and build these separately before piecing it together. Read through the thread which provides some guidance on how to best do this.
