https://www.stonewars.de/news/lego-umsaetze-2018/ According to this article the UCS MF was - at least in Q2/2018 - the toy on the german market to generate the highest revenue. Second highest was Mack Anthem, the remote controlled Track Racer finished 7th. That's 3 in the Top Ten and the only 3 worth more than €100,-. Simply astounding.

Obviously - but sadly for us - it is Tony Stark.

Wow. Pretty, pretty please with whipped cream and sprinkles on top, please sell instructions on brickvault. There were other good MOCs in the past, but this is superb.

Oh, that's evil².

Yep, but for someone like me, who hasn't any of the past models - or a any of the Fetts or Carbonate Han - it's a buy. Yes, it isn't cheap, but it looks fantastic. I just wait for my local dealers' regular 15-20% general LEGO rebate.

The colours give you eye cancer and i love it. It feels right and the build is superb!

He didn't leave. He committed seppuku. He knew his info was wrong and couldn't live with the shame.

I'm more and more excited for the april-wave. If the ships get nearly as good as the recently leaked figures...poor wallet.

You'd need a new machine that assembles legs and torsos. Really no big deal, but machines up the costs. They'd have to replace or revamp some printing machines -> more costs. Beancounters win.

75237 TIE Fighter Attack at local dealer. 75192 UCS Millennium Falcon as a present. And oh boy, that leaves me in a fubar-situation. This morning, just before he went to visit a customer, my boss calls me to his car, opens the boot and there it is. His 2nd MF he originally bought as investment, tells me he appreciates my work and wants me to have it. I didn't know what to say, this was overwhelming, how could i resist? Now the fubar-part. I'm planning to leave the company, actually i had a job interview this afternoon. Absolute dream, IT-support for my own employer only, no outside customers, 5 minutes with public transport opposed to 30 minutes on the autobahn right now, beautiful location above the river on the edge of a historical town centre and unexpectedly so well paid, i could easily afford the MF myself in a couple months. Emotional roller coaster. I know this i nagging on a high level, but FML.

Awesome, thanks :)

Frankly i don't care about canon, when it comes to shipping containers But i fear i'd need the UCS MF for this kind of MOC, because the pieces are too wide to be used with the Kessel Run MF. There are other options for usage, i'll take a pic as soon as i got the set.

Why that Finch-craze? It's Finch, not Stiffler's Mom...

You are hereby sentenced to a 50m LEGO "walk of fire" consisting of 55704 only. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Beautiful design, very well done, sir! I'm excited to see how it will do against 75240 Vonreg’s TIE. Don't think LEGO got the slightest chance. How many parts did you use?

Just found the instructions for the set. This actually isn't that bad for what i had in mind. Instead of studs, you need only 1 (of 3 possible) technic pin to hold the piece in place and if one uses all 3 pin-holes, it is an immensely stable plate/technik connector. Ideal for fixating huge panels on technic frames. This is a cool piece. Please more of it in different sizes and shapes!

I need them in white, too. LBG would also be very nice, but for now black is good enough for a proof of concept.

Cool, thanks! Sadly it's the wrong colour, but i see a lot of potential.

The panels of the new 4+ TIE Fighter 75237 look like a single piece on the pictures. Is that a new part?

Clone Wars season 7 could justify it.

Full ack!
