    I'm on holiday in Vietnam and found a toy shop with Lego - they have 2 Saturns left! But RRP here is like $400 each! WTF.

    What do you mean?

    What didn't you like about the most recent Sandcrawler? It's awesome!
  4. Malthus101
    It says temporarily unavailable on Lego UK - so is this set planned to come back?

    2015 was an awesome year for UCS with the Slave 1 and the TIE Fighter 2016 appeared to suck BIG TIME with the re-release of the Death Star and Assault on Hoth 2017 has been a great year with the Snowspeeder and the Millennium Falcon So let's just hope 2018 is not a "suck" year! 2014 only had the Sandcrawler which although fantastic... is just one UCS! Seems even years are worse than odd numbered years...... : \ My 2018 dream: May release - 6000+ piece, minifig scale AT-AT October release - 10,000+ piece ISD / Harrower Class Dreadnought / Resurgent Class Battlecruiser The world's going crazy... why can't Lego? :)

    Apparently Cavegod's is 2 x minifig scale. This guy copied CG's and made his own version, that is true minifig scale - I think it's awesome, especially the interior detailing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=59&v=FMmFUOBz6w0 Lego need to get onto this ASAP. I mean, if strength and stability and weight are the key issue, just build some custom plastic pieces, or use Technics parts, that build a solid frame for the whole thing that everything else is built around. The core of the legs don't need to be actual lego pieces, they can just clad the outside. Can't be that hard!

    Definitely. Bur if it doesn't have Leia in slave costume with a chain around her neck.... I'd consider it a failure. Look at the last Sandcrawler - I imagine that level of detail and excellence but in Sailbarge form! It would be an awesome UCS contender for sure... ;) And the FULL-ROSTA of figures this time!!
  8. Malthus101
    I just bought Jabba's Sail Barge 75020 - £160. Could be last time we see that Leia configuration. Don't like the front detailing though... needs a UCS refresh but if Disney are going to get all politically correct about her slave costume.... it'll never be good.

    And what about the motorized AT-AT? It's quite impressive that it can walk and it was popular when it was released. Detailing is crap though and it's too small compared with some amazing MOCs out there! I'm sure Lego has better ways of doing things these days... what are the chances of a UCS AT-AT, as large as decent MOCs and with motorized legs? That would be pretty damn sweet. (and if it already has electrics for the motor, why not install some LEDS too? It's about time)
  10. Malthus101
    Anyway............ Tell me UCS experts - which Death Stars were more popular... 10143 Death Star II or the more playable ones with all the rooms inside? I'm not drawn to the playable ones but DS2 looks pretty cool - would it be likely they ever release one like DS2 again as a UCS set?

    "More of a ‘quietly sweep the rest under the carpet’ kinda thing,” Campbell said. " Ah! Just like Google does with videos it doesn't like on YouTube now... IT'S NOT CENSORSHIP! They are just 'out of harm's way'. Revisionists around other questionable "facts" of the 20th Century can go to jail for years for even suggesting alternative views... but when companies like Disney or Google want to rewrite history, no problem. What an Orwellian Hell we are nose diving into. AS for the criticism of the Palace.... no surprise who was complaining there.... lol. And we should care?
  12. Malthus101
    What happened? I haven't heard this story.... :) Man I can't wait until May! I was hoping for something new this Christmas, 40th anniversary and all, you'd think they might release 4 UCS's to celebrate each decade. Perhaps not! I just looked at the Jedi Interceptor - IMHO opinion, it flopped because the model is awful! How can that even be called a UCS set? What makes it so? Looks basic as hell, just with a UCS placard. 676 pieces?! The last Imperial Shuttle 75094 had 937 pieces and wasn't even a UCS set. It was fantastic. So what were last years 2 UCS sets? The Slave 1 and.........? I only picked up the Slave 1, Sand Crawler and TIE Fighter last year so my brain is trained for a never ending supply of high quality UCS sets! Bad habit. Now I'll have to turn my attention to Creator sets instead while I wait for UCS sets... : \

    Was just thinking the same thing - Jabba's Palace / Rancor Pit - the old one looks terrible, looks more like Duplo than Lego. But a UCS version with the excellent modern styling going into recent UCS sets... could be a winner. I'm not even that interested in Play Sets but I think this could make a great one. Jabba's Sail Barge - now that I would buy. The Tantive IV - I don't find it an attractive design, but if done correctly, I'd buy it. Same goes for the Y-Wings...... those bits at the rear of the engines make it seem fragile - I hate fragile Lego! That's why the B-Wing was always such a cr*p toy when we were kids, awkward design, couldn't put it down easily. A-Wing looks too small and featureless... I don't even rememberer it from the movie. Also not sure I like red in Star Wars ships - it's why I'm not so keen on the Venator. So tell me learned UCS experts - are you saying Lego only release 2 UCS sets per year?? Is the Falcon all they will do to celebrate 40 years this December of A New Hope? Why don't they release UCS sets in time for xmas sales? Or is October what that is? :)
  14. Malthus101
    Post Office sounds too much like Postman Pat for my liking - but a library and a museum would be cool. I've only just really taken an interest in Creator sets today - they are awesome!
  15. Malthus101
    He says on a Lego site lol
  16. Malthus101
    That's right and I made it once and I'm going to make it again - the black and orange X-Wings are DISGUSTING. Merci.
  17. Malthus101
    TIEs seem to be high on everyone's lists - mine too I would also welcome a UCS Imperial Shuttle again A UCS AT-AT but Lego seem too scared to build one in case it "falls over" (gay) I'd love another UCS X-Wing but only because I missed out on the last one which looked really great - but please not a Poe - nobody wants an ugly black and orange X-Wing lol (or one of those ghastly blue ones, urgh) BUT.... after the re-release of this most awesome MF, we are very likely to see the ISD again (especially if silhouettes are anything to go by) I'm happy with a good 'ol regular ISD as I couldn't afford the last UCS one back in the day..... but if I could chose any, it would have to be: A Resurgent-Class Battlecruiser or a Victory-Class Star Destroyer THEY ARE SO BEAUTIFUL :)

    I didn't know about a special black VIP card - does it come with all Falcon sale including online or just for those who collected from Leicester Square? And what does it offer that is special? (other than being black lol) Man... this whole Falcon debacle has got me so excited to see what the next mega UCS set is gonna be! (but nothing will top this Falcon hysteria)
  19. Malthus101
    £950 on eBay UK.... crazy OF COURSE they will make more... why don't people just wait? Paying an extra £300 out of impatience is madness. New one so much better.... look at the desperadoes on eBay trying to sell the old one now for like £4500!! Good luck amigos! L O L
  20. Malthus101
    Hopefully this will encourage them to make even bigger sets - I want a 10,000 piece ISD (or similar) - there are so many outstanding MOCs out there of this size, that frankly Lego should just copy them directly.. And for God's sake make a UCS AT-AT!! RE the Falcon - looks to me like the smart thing to have done would have been to buy 3 online, then eBay them, flip them for a £600 profit, then just essentially get a free one when they re-release more on the original October 1st release date.
  21. Malthus101
    TIE Advanced, TIE Bomber, TIE Interceptor, even a TIE Defender! I'd be happy if any of those made it to the next UCS.
  22. Malthus101
    Yes Vader's TIE, a TIE bomber... some kind of TIE lol...... I too personally wouldn't mind an X-Wing again as I missed out last time - I know they've done a lot but... this is the 40th anniversary and it's a pretty important ship from that film.
  23. Malthus101
    I think this is right-think! Agreed that the silhouette of the IDS is no accident - it's about time too. Hopefully it will be a 10,000 piece set this time. As for the next UCS, i think it might be the TIE bomber again - that would be awesome. It featured very prominently in the video detailing the MF - could be coincidence but... they really put it there in the shot! Perfect size too for another not too expensive set.
