Also mini robots? There’s more than one?

Thanks, it doesn’t help that the turntable doesn’t turn smoothly even with the hoses removed completely. The whole crane mechanism isn’t Lego’s finest hour.

It’s my second time building this, but the arrangement of the hoses beneath and through the turntable for the crane sub-assembly is a minefield, as the turntable always ends up with problems rotating due to the hoses. The instructions are really hard to follow in terms of what hose goes where. Should the hoses be bunched up below the turntable, or pulled tight and left loose above the turntable?

Spaceman or space baby? And if it’s a spaceman, let’s hope it’s can be switched between Benny and a regular blue astronaut

I’m just disappointed that they didn’t give us a red (or even yellow) mini-scale astronaut rather a blue one. We’ve already had blue with the Space baby, and red or yellow would fit better with these sets. I guess they’re going with blue for the iconic/Benny factor though.

Is this the rumoured “black/possible Blacktron” set or something else?

Probably only Lego actually know how well it sold. We all heard about it going down to half price in Walmart, for what that’s worth. Also bear in mind that if it was particularly successful, they’d probably extend its shelf life. On the other hand, I haven’t seen it get discounted in the UK, other than once from Smyths, so presumably it’s not clogging shelves up. As such, it’s presumably sold reasonably as well, and perhaps as much as Lego expected.

Aw. Mind you, that screen showing a red spaceman (looks like something from the sticker sheet in the 1980 Lego ideas book) has caught my eye. Presumably that’s a sticker too.

Hopefully that green helmet shows up with a CMF or on Bricks and Pieces, or the BL price is going to be ridculous. And did anyone else notice the LL03 on the CS part? Wonder if that’s a sticker or print..

Has anyone got a pic of the lower engine panel to show how this is done? I’ve seen the follow-up post saying to remove the red, white and tan parts, but it doesn’t seem to improve anything.

I’ve had this set for a few years and the large gaps in the hull plates have always annoyed me, so I’ve finally done something about it. It’s still a WIP but here’s the result of an afternoons work. I’ve made the gaps around the radar dish and between the plates and docking ring nearest the camera a fair bit smaller, and added a few bricks and plates to the back of the upper laser turret to fill the gaps in that area. https://www.instagram.com/p/CzB6DmCo23G/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igshid=ZGM5NmRkODg2ZA==

Thanks, heard back from Brickvault now so all good 🙂

Hi, hopefully this isn’t off topic but I’ve downloaded the parts list to see what sort of money this would cost. However, it comes in various separate files like different options for the docking rings, 75192 parts list, etc, and no guide for them. Does someone know what ones I need to use if I already have 75192 and want to order the additional parts? (I’ve emailed Brickvault already but they haven’t got back to me) Thanks.

Necrobump! For those who brought the stand some time ago, how’s it holding up? Any problems with the Falcon itself?

Did Brickdoctor or anyone else ever do a LDD/stud.io file for this? Would like one to go with my UCS at-at
