it needs to cost roughly $20-$30 IMO which means it'll have 10 pieces max. I'd put 9 troopers and 1 random into it. The random would be the leia bounty hunter, lando, skiff lando, greedo, or chrome c3po :)

where is the image/thread that the wompa cave (on the top right) came from? found it! http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=63423

someone needs to make a 2d falcon with 1x1 studs and this: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/X-Large-Gray-Baseplate-628 or the deathstar I/II

if not, then maybe consider just the waist up, like the ending of the first movie.

so cool! BTW, did you have instructions for your T-600? http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=56851

i would say no. this probably just means it is still a VERY popular item (near christmas), so likely this would mean there will be another year of it. i see this as a good sign; like they did not expect the demand. i wouldnt expect lego to discontinue a set before christmas, right?

It was one sticker from an old 10030: http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=10030stk01

I called a few weeks ago about a replacement sticker, and they shot me down. Why can't they just email an image so I can print it!? That's some pretty awful support for out-of-print stickers.

i'm guessing that idiot is a family member :)

I watched Empire last night and this ship appears often. In the version of the movie i watched, the ship appeared darker colored, and had a TON of blue in it. The ISD had lots of white lights too. Any modders out there adding some blue greebles? That's the first mod i'm going to do when i get this set. I think the SSD should possibly be dark bley with bright blue greebles references:

sorry, i did have second thoughts about it. i'll be more careful in the future and listen to that little voice that says "prolly shouldn't post that". I wasnt meaning to troll.

I think some people care too much about feeling like unique little snowflakes.

just to be clear; i was not complaining about scalpers or sellers. I was saying that people shouldnt care so much about their feelings being hurt over a reissue. the people who should matter are the ones collecting, not the ones selling/hoarding

I actually didnt miss out on it :) I'm about to start building mine for the first time in a few weeks. I am glad i got the set when I did (on sale), and it came with the minifig poster, so no complaints about missed opportunity from me! I also have the DSII on display in my kitchen :P I'm mainly just in the camp that doesnt give a crap about re-issues. Regardless of a re-issue or not, the set will never lose much of its value, and even if it did, i'm not selling. edit: as you can see above though, i missed out on 10030 :( I'm still trying to figure out if it's worth it to buy it piece by piece

i guess this is where a lot of people disagree. true, but like any investors, they should know that it's a risk. I dont see why anyone would care about investors not making a ton of money close to 90% of the time (which seems to happen). i agree, which is why i'm confused about why they stopped selling it in the first place. Also, it really really sucks for people who are in their teens right now; by the time they get money to start a collection every single good lego set has come and gone! And a lot of people around here like it like that :P

I would argue that not re-releasing the falcon would upset more people who are average customers. You seriously care if scalpers lose money? High-prices indicate the customers still have a demand, so if they want to re-release another falcon in a few years, I don't see the big deal. I own one myself and I think taking this set out of the store was a bad decision to begin with.

I've been researching how to buy the 10030 ISD (imperial star destroyer) piece by piece, and I have a few questions. Please help! Thanks I changed all light/dark grey colors to light/dark bluish grey on bricklink. PaB (Pick-a-Brick) uses medium stone grey and dark stone grey. 1. What is medium stone grey and dark stone grey? Is this the same as the light/dark bluish gray? 2a. When I call LEGO for hard-to-find pieces (or any pieces), do I have to have an instruction manual code? 2b. If so, is it OK to ask for one on these forums? 3a. What are the odds I will be able to get a replacement sticker set? 3b. Are there scans I can download and print out? 4. Are PaB prices the same as if I would call lego and order over the phone from the instruction manual? While browsing PaB, I found lots of items I would need. 5. Does it seem normal that I am expecting to place a very large PaB order? I would like to place double orders on the hard-to-find items (second order is for my brother). 6. Does LEGO let you order huge amounts of spare parts like this?

from home alone 2: Bird Lady: I'm just afraid if I do trust someone, I'll get my heart broken. Kevin McCallister: I understand. I had a nice pair of Rollerblades. I was afraid to wreck them, so I kept them in a box. Do you know what happened? I outgrew them. I never wore them outside. Only in my room a few times. Bird Lady: A person's heart and feelings are very different than skates. Kevin McCallister: They're kind of the same thing. If you won't use your heart, who cares if it gets broken? If you just keep it to yourself, maybe it'll be like my Rollerblades. When you do decide to try it, it won't be any good. You should take a chance. Got nothing to lose. Bird Lady: Little truth in there somewhere.

thanks for the steps. you think i'd have any luck doing this with a UCS ISD (10030)? the reason i'm asking is because of the color issues...

they should at least realize there is a demand for the "missing" parts on bricklink, and sell those specific parts in bulk to bricklink sellers, or something. at least make it easier for people to piece together the old UCS sets. edit: wow, this is my first post? anyway i have the UCS falcon, so I can't complain. I wanted the UCS ISD but I started collecting right after it was gone. Now I'd like to build one, but I missed it by like 2 months! I remember them being in stock and then the next day they were sold out. I had no idea what I was missing out on at the time.
