Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
What does everyone else think?
Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I support trying to get them for a draft. although the piece count is not as high as the MF the variety is bit better.
Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I would rather draft the Drop ship then a falcon personally , the MF is ALOT of the same pieces, sure its a great way to load up on those but there are ALOT of wings and stuff like that and I don't know about you guys but I barely ever use most of my wing pieces . Not to mention better colour mix in the DS vs MF . Yeah that would be sweet paul

Wow, how did they get the set in hand so early? My order just shipped sometime on wednesday and even with express, it'll take 6-7 business days.chump wrote:It would seem someone is already on the ball about selling the Lego Dropship on Craigslist.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
My guess is that they don't have it yet and would delay response and give an excuse to meet up later in the week. They just want to be first out there before the onslaught of listings that will certainly undercut this price. I don't think this person will respond to my e-mail though.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I gave a quick try and the guy responded. He say he can meet up today. Still an expensive toy at $350. I'll gave him and email and see if i can get it for $200.chump wrote:My guess is that they don't have it yet and would delay response and give an excuse to meet up later in the week.

Maybe he's trying to unload his old stock bought during a BOGO 50% off at TRU before the market's flooded with people selling their Dropships and Millenium Falcons from the Lego S&H bungle.legofactory wrote:I gave a quick try and the guy responded.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
You got a response from him? That's funny... he hasn't responded to me.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
cragislist is already overwhealmed with these damn things.. aughh...
Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I got mine today. Each of my 2 falcons and 1 dropship were shipped separately, I guess cause the falcons are heavy enough that each one had a "Warning, Heavy" sticker on it! So much LEGO!

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
How many of you didn't have a UCS Falcon before this sale?
I purchased one for US$500 through Bellevue a while ago, so to be honest, the one I got from this S@H sale will be used to help offset the overall costs of ownership.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I didn't own one and would never have bought one for $700 CAD. But for $170 - sure.
Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
Same as capt pike ,didnt have one,buy one at a great price.
Lego trains are just the best!
Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I also didn't have one, and would not have bough it, were it not for the sale. Pascal took one of mine to build, and I may keep it around if it looks cool, but it's likely a parts pack. The second I bough with the intention to keep it in the box for a few years, and then sell it to pay for both, or turn it into a part pack if life is still allowing me to spend money on LEGO.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
Hi gang... I just finished building the republic dropship... took me 4 hrs 25 minutes. Some of the parts are great!
Just opened the Falcon.... nearly fainted... the instructions are HUGE!!! None of the bags are numbered. This is going to be the hunt from hell. Just for giggles, I'm going to time myself.
Thanks Platypus for the mind numbing terror that you have allowed me to do to myself. I haven't even started and I already have the shakes...

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
What did you say in that other thread about the 10179 speed build? I seem to recall you saying "pffft" to 2hrs and 37 minutes, and that you could beat that time with one hand tied behind your back AND blindfolded?

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
Hopefully you didn't also let your son down a six pack of redbull so he could stay up all night with you...
Anyway, we should think about having a team speed build at our next meeting with a few of thes Falcons. Or is that crazy talk?

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
I would rather spend that time sorting for a huge draft should our bounty arrive in time.
wish i had thought of letting someone else build my falcon too.
I opened mine and was also shocked at how large the instructions were. I wieghed them just to see how heavy they were. 3 pounds! I dont think I would attempt to build this without sorting it first but then I probaly wouldnt want to if it was sorted.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
Is it the biggest set ever? was there another UCS bigger? Surely the Death Star and Star Destrooyer were both smaller.

Re: Star Wars @ Shop @ Home !!!!
When the UCS Falcon was released, it was the largest official set at the time. But the Taj Mahal was released later, and it's currently the largest (by piece count).
