ore like 3 months than 4.

Hmm seemed very quick.

Sainsburys have caught on now :/

Thanks for the info Colin, seems like I'll have to keep my fingers crossed for a re-release in that case.

I have the Death Star and SSD, still wouldn't mind a DSII and an ISD, in fact I'd like any of the big kits, the only thing keeping me from blowing loads of money on this stuff is my accountant wife!

There is a woman whinging like a bh on a certain website about a 10179 that she says she bought new.



She says, and I quote, 'so I bought this "star war" thing for my nephew as I had promised hm one earlier this year, so it arrived and my nephew started building it with my husband as I have no clue what it is. So they started making it and shortly found that a piece of the exterior was bent. We packed all up ready to replace it for a new one but one of the tiny pieces went missing so we could not give it back. Now all I'm stuck with is some Lego and 4 million pound less'



Either she is bull-stting when she says she has bought one or she is just plain stupid.

Clearly she doesn't know that Lego will replace any missing or damaged pieces without question.

I am inclined to think that she is talking crap & that she hasn't bought one however, to be on the safe side, I have emailed her & offered her £100 for her faulty Lego set!!!!!!

It's probably a http://brickset.com/sets/7965-1/Millennium-Falcon its unlikely a non fan would randomly come accross a 10179 and buy it, even more unlikely a shop would have one selling cheap.

They could however have bought one like BK at a show but believed it was from LEGO.

[fatboy69]

I am certain it was 10179 she was on about as she posted her whining as a product review of 10179.

FAO Bipolar Kittens,
it was I that asked if you'd do a build log, and can I say thank you very much, it looks absolutely amazing! So envious!

A real shame about the missing parts though and the fact that it made the latter part of the build a bit stressful, hopefully the seller will sort you out with spares without too much hassle.

I do hope they re-release this set, but something tells me they won't.

Thanks again for posting, I can at least look at the pics and dream!

Wonder how much it'd cost me to source the parts independantly to build it?

Ash

You're welcome :-)

I never emailed the seller in the end but I've just this minute ordered the missing parts from Bricklink (My God, it's complicated!) for around £8.

In other news, Slave 1 and Detective's Office turned up today

£8 isn't bad at all, given the grief and hassle you may have ahd from the seller it's probably the safest option and the one to cause lease stress and aggro.

Slave 1 looks awesome too, something else to add to the list!

[BlueMR2]

They found 2 Slave 1's at the Leeds store this morning, not sure if they still have them left.

Got that as my awesome PH secret Santa present this year, really nice model and an excellent present!

[BlueMR2]

There was a PH Secret Santa? Seems I don't have access to the PH forums inner sanctum.

If anyone is after an Imperial Destroyer they are reduced from £115 to £90 on Tesco Direct.

Done.

You could do with a small At-At to go with that.

That is awesome, is it a MOC or UCS? Didn't think the UCS one was that big?

[shoggoth1]

I may be wrong but there hasn't been a 'big' UCS AT-AT (there was a 12" motorised walking model that may have been UCS but I'm not sure). There is/was a UCS AT-ST.

[Bullett]

I've got the walking one. It's not that big, that has to be a MOC.

[BlueMR2]

It's a MOC, designed by Cavegod on Brickset.

That's a 10179 Falcon next to it.

Someone on Brickset purchased the bits from someone on ebay, up for around $900 at the time, but that has cheap parts sprayed rather than the original parts which add alot to the price.
