Brickdad

What is the set? A Jango Slave 1?

I managed to get an LDD file for it somewhere online as well as a ton of photo's on brickshelf. I think have whittled down what I need. Must say I prefer the method of using the technic bricks with pins to attach the white tiles. The cheese slopes version didnt look as good to me.

X-Wing Microfighter, lol! Well, I didnt build it, my son did. Bought it for the wee man from Tesco - was down to £5 odds.

That is flat out insane! Incredible attention to detail. You deserve to make money from this 'hobby'.

I hope you are right, would love some of the obscure characters from Mos Eisley. However, I bet lego would release the obscure characters from Maz's Castle first. Not that that would be a bad thing.

Yeah maybe, he has another 7 months of experience to gain between now and then. Aah, the Duplo days! I remember building some crazy things with those bricks. Couldn't wait for him to outgrow it though!

Pleased to hear it. My 5yr old son is getting this as consolation for not being allowed anywhere near my Slave 1!

No worries, just wondered why. Hopefully when available from lego store it is available free with keyrings etc. and not a mimimum-spend item.

Well, that's a bit unfair. Lego should release these things at the same time worldwide. Especially because europe can't get the R3 until the May promotion has ended......although I have read on here it's free with any star wars purchase. So, key ring for me if that's the case.

Just checked ebay and, wow, one seller has it at £33 or nearest offer! Crazy. Am glad I have one coming with my order.

How did you manage that! Thought R3 was only available from May 7th?

Thanks Thorin, looking forward to this build. Enjoy the snowspeeder, will prob be next year's "yearly ucs purchase" - during the may 4th promotion. Oh, and just picked up the MF for my son's Christmas - though it will be a family build. No way a 5 yr old has the patience, or competence, for a set like that.

Lol, no chance! Have only just emerged from the dark ages.

Could anyone confirm when the MF will be 40% off? I know it is on May 4th but if I make out the lego store correctly it is 8am on the 4th and not from midnight tonight.

Finally succeeded with the online store and Slave 1 shall be mine. Hard part will be trying to convince my 5yr old son that this is a dad-build for display!

Awesome, yup a keyring for me! But....what are the small numbers "4" and "10"? Poss disclaimers about minimum spend and one per household?

Am sure I read earlier that you had to spend over £65 (or was it €65) to qualify. Bear in mind that the 10% off ends on the 6th. Typical sneaky lego.

Very weird thing just happened. Was on lego store and seen the AT ST for £26.99!!! So, I clicked on it andy phone switched off! Switched it back on, went back to the site and it now says £40.99. Damn. Ooops! Just realised that was the 40% off yesterday. Still strange that my phone switched off!

Nothing wrong with yellowed snow. Even the rebel's probably get caught short. Moving on, what an amazing piece of work. 30,000 bricks! Holy moly

And, at which point all prices back to normal. Pity the timing also runs out just before the summer-wave. Bah, the sneaky bar stewards!

Doh! Misread the guy's post. Have no clue about R3 either!

Mine will be coming alongside my Slave 1. Think you have to order something via the Lego Store (either online or buy from store). Oh, and btw, if you order online you are limited to one R2 poly per household. Pretty sure you will get one with each purchase from an actual store - as long as supplies are there.

After all this hype I would pmsl if the UCS turned out not to be the MF! Mind you I am only saying that because I am jealous I cant afford an £800 UCS nor find the space to display it!

June 1st

Also, who knows when this will be retired? Great opportunity to get this at a great price.
