Yeah that's going to hurt! I don't care what movie comes out right now, people are not going to theatres like they used too, and its going to take awhile. Yet almost every article speaks to the movie being the issue, or a hybrid model, or other issues aside from the pandemic! I don't know how many articles I read about Black Widow, comparing to Avengers gross, or biggest drop offs etc. (There is no comparable situation), Shang Chi is not going to have a great gross regardless of how good or bad it will, which is very unfortunate.

With the recent Gunship out (and shipping), and the supposed AT-AT coming, and all the other past UCS, MBS, and MOCS out there. Is anyone running out of room? I created a space for the gunship in advance, I will more than likely skip the AT-AT as I already have Raskolnikovs plus size version, which I am happy with. But after the gunship is done, I'm going to have to get creative or add much more shelving that I would want. I don't want to go to high, because then I can't see them! I currently only have 16 UCS sets and MOCS displayed, with the Gunship being the 17th, and I am missing plenty I would like. Vader's tie, B-wing, and a few others. How many people are blessed with the space for 20+ UCS sets?

I am more of a star wars UCS guy, and my girls are into the Harry potter Modular, however we did get DA, and I would have gotten Hogwarts D2C (if it wasn't mini scale), as I like UCS type display pieces more. That being said, I would probably pick this up if my shelves weren't loaded with mocs and other UCS sets. My kids want it for sure, but I am not at the point to drop $250 on a set for them yet, and my wife is starting to not buy the family gift line! I think if the Potter line wants to continue to grow they will need a mix of these kinds of sets (for adults and kids), as well as hopefully finishing the most recent line as lego fans come in all sorts of categories, and price points! Some like the smaller play sets, some UCS/Adult/Art, and some both! Count me in as part of the group hoping to get a DA expansion, and maybe one more part to add to the past few years of Hogwarts, that is not a 10th anniversary wave! Regardless of what has been said in interviews, I think they will go back and finish the prior waves. I can only see so many D2C sets, and only the hardcore are going to buy sets from every rebooted wave. One of the reasons we did not pick up alot of 10th anniversary is we have been adding to the sets the last few years, and I am not going to buy an entirely different wave for my kids, which then gets rebooted eventually again. There is only so much space and $$ to go around. :)

yeah that was a brutal 13 minutes of error messages, reloads, and other issues!

When everything works right its 9:00pm on the west coast, sometimes the promos take a few minutes to appear correctly. But depending on launch, things have popped up from 9:00pm to 3:00am over the years. Good luck!

If I remember, there was only space to type in two names, or limited characters. I put two names in when I voted, but regardless the possibilities were endless. There must have been so many combinations. Safe bet was always going to be a clone and a jedi or a couple of clones. It would be interesting to see the combinations though. If anything, would make for some crazy board chat!

Do the sides fully close? None of the official pictures show a shot like that? For a display model I am hoping they close, because I kinda agree, open it feels incomplete. Even though I know that is how they were used.

Looks good, can't wait for the official reveal and more detailed pics. I need to understand where I am going to squeeze this thing in! And it looks like it will be better to be displayed sideways or an angle versus head on, which means ever more shelf space!

That thought may just have me pick it up! I like the figures and the shuttle is not bad, but just not display worthy. However, holding onto it as a base for a MOC, hmmmmm. I just hope they don't go too big!

Sanctuary feels like such a weird set, kinda like buying a miniature Star Destroyer with figures. I feel like the ship and Thanos should have been a gwp. I would get it then!

Really cant tell from those Vader Meditation Pictures, does he has arm printing? I know people have been hoping after the bespin duel fun.

I got a queue as well. It has become the norm for certain release dates. I was just checking the status on my Bugle, and was like why is there a queue? And then I remembered all the Harry Potter releases. If there was a gwp I would pick some up, but I think I will be waiting a bit for something before getting any. Enjoy everyone!

Nothing Im picking up, but three figures and a decent vehicle for $20, its not a bad set. Especially considering all the other sets dropping! Have to have that entry level item somewhere in a wave.

Well after primarily collecting and building Star Wars for myself, and Harry Potter with my girls, consider this my first big Marvel purchase!

Well if those pictures are accurate its 14+. I really hate the blurry image leaks, I am hoping my girls dont want this! Hard to tell if it will be worth it. First glance just looks like a bigger version of what has come before, with no real difference in figs? Can't make out the first one.

Eeeeeekkkk. Hopefully official pictures look better! Mini Figures- Awesome! Shuttle-hard to tell, Speeders-Parts should have gone to the shuttle! Was looking forward to this, but may have just saved me $100!

I echo all the above, finally finished building this beauty today! It really is mind blowing, and one of the more complex MOC's I have ever built. Many times I was thinking how is this going to work, and found myself thinking, "I would never come up with that solution"! Jerac, your work is amazing, and now I have a Razorcrest that really goes with my other UCS and MOC's on display. Thank you! I like the ideas with adding silver/chrome, but did not go crazy, those pieces just cost to much! But I did scatter some 1x2 chrome ingots, and replaced the 3x3 inverted radar dishes on the engines, and added 1x1 round chrome plates onto the 1x1 clips surrounding the engines. Not much, but it gave it some shine!

With that price and piece count, they could easily include one in the build? Probably a stretch for a UCS, but for $800 I have no idea how big or what they have planned. It's quite the jump from there existing AT-AT's!

Your are correct! I am going to remove the one, and add them on later once the parts arrive! Guess my break it over! Thanks Jerac!

Really loving this build! Stuck on step 479 as I realized one of my orders sent the wrong 4 minifigure horizontal arm bars, so now I am waiting for a 44 cent Bricklink order!

I can't wait until they stop with these GWP's. Have just never been a fan of this type for some reason. I hope Tatooine is the last, and they move to something else in the future.

wow 30 minutes of loading, refreshing, error messages, etc. Finally went through. I have has easier times for UCS sets!

I was really hoping the R2 would not be a major improvement, as I don't want to double dip, but after that tease, it looks like the smoother style is carried on throughout. (even though we can only see just the start of it) If that is the case, and the leg deployment is better there going to make it hard on me! Damn you lego!

Man this topic has taken off! I've been trying to follow, but as usual there is alot in here! Is the consensus at this point, that this year will be this new anniversary line? And then hopefully next year return to finish off the previously current line? Or are we in permanent reboot city?

Yeah I have had that happen alot! It usually happens if you pay by paypal or another similar service in advance, they can only hold it for so long. I have had to call on several pre-ordered items to switch to a credit card to complete the purchase.
