While I'm not sure how much this will help people right now. I am working on building 75192 in LDD. I am separating the build into "bags" like the set. When I finish this, I will try to put it all together without LDD crashing, but, with the number of pieces and number of angles, I don't know how that will work. I have read some people saying they don't have $800 to shell out for 75192 and they were thinking about bricklinking it. If so, this may be the way you want to do it. If it doesn't help anyone now, it will when this set is discounted. I will update and edit this as I finish "bags". I am on 8 now. I am still working on it. Also, keep in mind, some pieces are not available in LDD. I will update as I come across them. LDD files are in my Brickshelf gallery when modded. Bag 1, The Frame: 705 pieces. Bag 2, Landing Gear: 388 pieces. The 6 landing gear are identical to build. Bag 3, Forward Rooms, Gunner Seat, Greebling and Front Landing Gear: 545 pieces. Forward landing gear is the same as Bag 2. Missing stickers. Bag 4, Rear Rooms: 457 pieces, missing are 4 Light Bluish Gray, 27263, Modified 2 x 2 Corner with Cut Corner - Facet, I used 14719 on the model. Missing stickers. Bag 5, Rear Engines: I couldn't get the boat rigging pieces on there, they won't flex. Also missing are 6 Trans Light Blue, Hose, Ribbed mm D. 26L. Not available in LDD. 458 pieces, 464 when you add the missing pieces/ hoses. Bag 6 , Forward Mandibles: 530 pieces. Bag 7, Underside of Mandibles: 295 pieces. Which is odd, I figured this would be an even number since the builds are identical. I may have screwed up here, just noticed it when posting. Bag 8, various bits of the underside. 356 pieces. Bag 9, Tops of the mandibles. 426 pieces. Nothing missing, but, the 2, 2 x 4 curved slope pieces are printed. Bag 10, Final parts of the underside, including bottom Quad Laser. 454 Pieces, but, 2 pieces are not available in LDD. 2 light Bluish Gray, 26599, Plate, Modified 2 x 4 with Pin Holes used on the boarding ramp. Bag 11, Starting the top of the ship now. 361 pieces. Missing 8 White 30166, Minifig, Shield Rectangular with 4 Studs. If you are going to Bricklink this set, you can sub 30166pb01, same part, same color, just with a window print on it from 75166: First Order Transport Speeder Battle Pack. You get one in the Battle Pack. So Bricklink maybe with best option!! Also, after posting this, I realized i missed 2 pieces on the right section. So, the total for this "bag" is 369. The file on Brickshelf is correct. Bag 12, Top, back of the ship, Exhaust vents. 472 Pieces, but, there are 16 missing pieces, 27507, Tile, Round Corner 4 x 4 Macaroni Wide. Bag 13, last 2 parts of the top exhaust vents. 357 Pieces. I think from here on out all the bags/ sections should be 100%. Bag 14, front, top of the saucer section. 298 pieces. Bag 15 more of the top, front of the saucer section, base for the radar dish and escape hatches on the sides. 371 pieces. Bag 16, Cockpit and hallways to it. 483 pieces, I know I said everything should 100% since the update, but,the 2 sections of the cockpit are not included in this file. So, this bag has a grand total of 485. Bag 17, last 2 sections of the saucer section, 2 radar dishes, Mynock, plaque, top gunner seat, and front thingies! 443 pieces. Jamie

Has anyone made stickers for the exclusive pieces? Those would be awesome! Jamie

An UCS AT-AT is something I wanted too. But, as someone who has built one, I don't think Lego will ever make one. It was a pain in the @$$. So many issues!! If they do make one it will be smaller like Anio's. Not minifig "scale" like cavegod's.

This happened: https://www.lego.com/en-us/aboutus/news-room/2013/january/reaction-to-criticism-of-lego-star-wars-product As for Slave Leia: http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2015/11/04/disney-pull-star-wars-slave-leia-merchandise/ I'm not going to give my 2 cents, don't want to get ban! Just want to help you out!! Jamie

This is one ship I wish Lego would do again!! They have come such a long way since the original in 2002!! As for your MOC. It looks great!! It has an updated, beefed up, 2002 feel, which you can't escape using those curved slope pieces. Very nice, Jamie

Sweet, maybe we will get lucky and Lego will release one. I have worked on one on and off in LDD and can't ever get it right. Thanks for the heads up, Jamie

The Lego Store in Troy, MI got 12. I got there about 5 AM and I was number 12. 13 showed up about 10 minutes after me and waited in line anyways hoping someones credit card didn't work. While she waited in line they had their laptop out and were trying to make an order, plus she was on the phone. Felt bad for her!! Don't think she got one. The guy who was number 1 got there at midnight. He kind of cheated, since he works at the mall, not the Lego Store, but somewhere else. So when he got out of work he just started the line. Mall security was there and was cool. They hung out with us for a while. Talked to everyone. Held my spot in line while I used the bathroom. The staff was awesome, giving us freebies. The brochure, 2 of the 3 prints, and a couple of polybags. They didn't have any of the Episode 7 print, but they had the 2 from Empire, asteroid field and space slug. About quarter to 10, they started letting 2 at a time in the store to make their purchase. Out of the 12 they had, 8 had wheels. Mine didn't. Carrying it sucked. Drove an hour and half back home. Took a nap, now I am off to build. Wish me luck!!

Skydiving, bungee jumping, parasailing, and white water rafting. I would love to do any of them again!! If I had the money I would love to try a hang glider.

Personally, I would love for Lego to do an A-Wing or TIE Bomber.

Anyone going to pick up the new Falcon on the 14th in Troy, Michigan? Can't wait for this set! Shoot me a PM!

Next Tuesday, is there going to be another teaser or the "official" reveal for the new Falcon? Thanks, Jamie

No worries. Thanks for adding them! Jamie

Still only 5.

Hans worked on both the UCS Slave 1 and UCS Assault on Hoth. But for you old timers who have been around for a while, he also has/ had his own site. Which hasn't been updated since he started for Lego, http://brickcommander.com/ . If Hans is working on a new Falcon, it will be good. He has been building for years!! I have traded emails with him as well LDraw files. He's a good guy! He also goes by the name primus on brickshelf. Not sure why he uses 2 names, never asked! While Slave 1 was not perfect, it was still a great set, IMO! He should be able to do wonders with a Falcon. Hopefully figured out a way to make a solid frame with an interior. If it is anything like the old Kenner Falcon with half of an interior, I'd be happy. Jamie

Just checked you Flickr and nothing new? Same 5 pics as before. As long as you are adding pics, maybe add a few of the wing up and hinges if possible. I know I said I got the idea, but, why not!!:) Jamie

No, I think I understand. Thanks for the offer!! Jamie

I figured you started with the idea to use those Technic joints, but, wasn't sure how well they held. For the weight of the wing, you would probably need about 6 per side, maybe 8. Using Technic liftarms, like 32348 or 6629 may be a better idea with the weight of the wings, but, then they would be static. Thanks for reply, Jamie

Great job!! Do the wings move or are they built to stay in one place?? What did you use to build these? Lots of hinges or Technic liftarms? Thanks, Jamie

I have twin daughters. The pic is of me holding my daughter Megan on the left and my wife holding my daughter BriAnna on the right. They are 10 now, but, I don't want to change it. I think it is my favorite pic of them.

Did you just do the outer shells or is there a frame inside too? Any plans of sharing your LDD files? Both you ships are incredible. Thanks for sharing. Jamie

I hadn't heard of this one yet. I swear if you don't check this thread several times a day, you miss something. Hopefully it is something like Anio's!!

Maybe a stupid question, but, is it possible to display this on a stand? I haven't seen a pic of it on a stand. Wouldn't mind displaying this next to the shuttle. Is there a spot to insert a stand? Thanks, Jamie

Geez, for me to drop that on one set is going to be hard!! I'm hoping for at least a small interior, similar to the original Kenner Falcons from the 70's and 80's. Just the back half under the exhaust ports. Any news on piece counts??

Are there LDD plans for this or did you just order parts and use the Force? Jamie

If it has an interior and it looks like they tried to make the exterior different, I will happily buy it on day 1!! If it is a rehash of 10179 with a new set number and limited details inside, I will have to wait and see. Still not sure about the new Death Star?! But, a set costing $800, with a PPP ratio of .12¢ comes out to about 6667 pieces. So, this could be, not only the most expensive set Lego has produced. But, the largest! If the 6667 piece count is anywhere close to the real set. Minus the 5179 pieces in the original, that still leaves 1488 pieces for an interior. Here hoping!! Jamie
