So £600 is likely going to be the price for the Falcon when it arrives then? It's steep, but I think I'll bite.
Going to be an expensive couple of months for Lego purchases, I've already put some cash aside to buy the Ideas Fishing Store when it comes out next week and although I have zero interest in Ninjago, that Ninjago City model looks fantastic. Might have to put that on my Christmas list and be a good boy until then.
The Ninjago ship looks rather lovely too - and the hull is built out of proper Lego rather than big hull pieces.Going to be an expensive couple of months for Lego purchases, I've already put some cash aside to buy the Ideas Fishing Store when it comes out next week and although I have zero interest in Ninjago, that Ninjago City model looks fantastic.

I have kicked myself for not buying the original MF. I had it in my cart may times when it was out but I couldn't justify the cost.
I now have more money and even less sense than I used to have so I will be getting one as soon as they are available but I will probably wait until I'm off at Christmas to build it.

You could have 4 x Lepin versions for that (I'm half way there) Going to be an expensive couple of months for Lego purchases, I've already put some cash aside to buy the Ideas Fishing Store when it comes out next week and although I have zero interest in Ninjago, that Ninjago City model looks fantastic.

I could, I've nothing against it, but it feels to me like wanting a Caterham, but instead of spending the money you settle for a cheaper knock-off, it would give me 90% of the experience, but each time I'd look at it I'd wish to myself that I'd paid more and got the real thing.

Anyone know how long it takes Lego so send out spare parts?
Requested some spares over 2 weeks ago. Don't know how long I should have too wait.
It does take a good 2/3 weeks,i got a email around 2 weeks to say the order had been dispatched and that took another week to arrive......Requested some spares over 2 weeks ago. Don't know how long I should have too wait.

Do I look at the Lepin Falcon and think 'I wish I'd paid more and got the real thing' - nope. Not at that price spread!

But would it? I have well over 100 Lego sets (boxed) most of which in the £250-300 range. A UCS Falcon would cost me anything from £3.5k-6k - that's just mental.

We're talking in this instance about the new UCS falcon though and as it will be available I'd rather pay the extra for a real one than wait for the inevitable Lepin copy. Totally agree about paying way over the odds for retired sets though.Personally, I wouldn't (and haven't) buy a set if it was still available, but the prices some collector sets is just nuts.

I buckled earlier and bought Ninjago city, looks on most of the kids faces in the shop as I heaved that bad boy onto counter... Really enjoying the build so far, only on bag two. One step involves placing 71 of the same piece down, with a further 59 on the next!
