Sorry for delayed response. It has been awhile and we DID fix it, but only by very carefully working backwards!! We had misconnected in 1 area by just 1 notch. As we continued the build it probably added just enough space to cause the issue. Once found, everything fell into place! Was frustrating for sure, but just made the build more interesting. Not to mention we purchased a light kit to install and it looks amazing! Kevin

Bandit & Lowlead, THANK YOU!!! WE FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT (We were traveling last week and away from home). AMAZING how just one small misstep caused such an issue!!! We're BACK on track!!!

FIRST OFF, thank you Bandit778 & lowlead for responding. I will most certainly check these things when I get home this evening. BOTH of you seem to have the right idea. Something must be just slightly out of place. When I tried multiple times last night, it really seemed like we are off my a mere centimeter or two. VERY close, but JUST enough that it has caused this stress. PRAYING I find it!!!!

Hello, FIRST post here so I hope my question is OK for the forum. I purchased the 75252 ISD for my son to build (yes, I'm helping). We have gotten to Bag #7, and have built the (see picture) the 2 sort of big triangular pieces that go BEHIND the engines and block people from seeing inside the ship. I've drawn a red line indicating the cross beam that extends and helps to connect the 2 pieces to the build. We installed the lower, or bottom triangle with very little issue, BUT we noticed the "cross beam support" is flexed a bit (we figured it was part of the build. BUT when we try to put the top shield (honestly I don't know what to call it, but these shields create the back panel of the ship when installed)....the top shield/panel has an issue(s) when we try to connect it. The 'flex' in the cross beam support seems to be just a small fraction off. Last night, after fiddling with it, I was able to get it connected but felt it wasn't exactly right. When we got up this morning, 2 of the 4 black connectors had come apart. I hope I am making sense here. BTW, if you watch this video from the Lego builder and scrub to approximately 3:30 you see him connect the 2 pieces I'm talking about (but you can't see the cross beam because of the angle). ALSO, he connects it all as 1 piece...not 2, which is DIFFERENT from the instructions. SO...I am very sorry for the long post, but: 1) have you built this?? 2) IF SO, did you run into the same issue?? 3) Any solution if you did?? THANKS SO MUCH in advance!! I have a VERY worried 14-year-old....HECK, I'm worried that I won't know how to fix it for him!! AGAIN, thanks. Kevin
