They seem to be on sale in Poland.

Now if someone purchased a load and wanted to move to the UK, that could surely get you entry.

Talking of UCS, I got a few £££ for selling some shares recently and treated myself to this;

It's quite impressive isn't it (and a lot sturdier than the original UCS Star Destroyer).

I've avoided the mini-figures, my girlfriend occasionally buys them for me as a treat if she spots them out shopping, I didn't want to get 'sucked in' to more Lego collecting.

I just amuse myself with the big Star Wars sets (although I do wish they would do packs of Stormtroopers, I quite fancy an array of them under the Star Destroyers).

I'm very late to the UCS band-wagon unfortunately. frown Would love to have been on-board to buy the Falcon and the Star Destroyer. They're going for a ridiculous amount at the moment. Death star 1 is available again for £275, so I'm tempted by that. Does the normal Star Destroyer have an interior?

No, it doesn't - it does have rather large panels though. The bottom two of which are, in part, held in place by magnets which means they have a tendency to drop down if you breath in its direction (I think this was a fault they were trying to correct with the SSD).
I have the Millennium Falcon as well (it's been sat in its box unbuilt for a few years now - I didn't have the space for it once built) also:
The original X-wing
Red 5 X-wing
Y-wing
B-wing
Vaders TIE Advanced
Lambda class Imperial Shuttle
R2-D2
AT-ST

Plus some non UCS ones - AT-AT, Tantive IV, TIE Interceptor, a Technic Battledroid.

Nice!! biggrin The Falcon was alwys the one wasn't it, as they built it to scale with the mini-figures, I think it's the biggest set Lego have ever produced with over 5000 pieces.

I thought Tantive IV was UCS? Though I guess not, it can be had on the Bay for less than £250.

That does sound like a very odd way of holding parts on though, using magnets, I guess they should have tried with stronger magnets or, more properly, used Lego. Maybe they were unsure due to the size of the panels that the studs could hold them in place.

Apologies to all, maybe we should have a Star Wars Lego thread! laugh

I have quite a few minifigures. Plus I bought some classic space lego recently. I am quite lego obsessed. I keep making up the children's lego...

I took the old lego boxes out of the cupboard recently, lots of pirates, some spacemen and the police hugo chavez lookalike.

I bought the life guard truck and boat earlier. And the little cottage with the guy on the BBQ. And then I just ordered the Seaside House and Log Cabin from Amazon. And I really want that cool looking Lego Creator family home.

How much has it cost you to get the bits you needed? Do you already have a lot of Lego sets?

I've just got into these. They are addictive. I'm only going for the ones that interest me rather than whole series. Plus some cool ones like Star Wars and Superman.

I did order one. He is going for about £10 on his own. The order got cancelled. He's on the list along with Darth Vader, Batman and the Joker smile
