Has anyone else got a 'reliable' supplier for the UCS Falcon (05033) or SSD (05028)?
I got my SSD from susengo. Personally had no probs with them so far.

Out of interest - when did you order and when did you receive?

Order with Gelida still 'processing' - so being the impatient soul that I am, have also ordered with Dollhousebuilder. Interesting that they are the only ones I've found that offer it in the original box (but big uplift in price for this).

Third time lucky I hope!

My UPS tracking is now showing that its in Edinburgh and I should get it today. Although, they do want £16 for import duty. I ordered Sep 27 with the simple box option from Dollhousebuilder.

Thankd Colin - it was your post that led me to buy from them too. Not the highest rated, nor the cheapest - but as long as they actually deliver something I'll be happy!

Have pre-ordered the UCS Imperial Star Destroyer form them too (05027). This time though I placed as three separate orders to avoid delays in combining the consignment. We shall see...

SSD 05028? That is weird, they were defiantly in stock back then. Not sure now.

So finished the UCS Falcon earlier.



Noticeable amount of missing pieces and some that are just incorrect, if I hadn't been able to pinch 20 odd gray 3x2s from the SSD I ordered at the same time I wouldn't have been able to finish it.

I've a lot of bits left over however and since I used the official instructions I do wonder if perhaps Lepin ones vary. They definitely do on the Radar as a unique piece is replaced this a couple of standard ones.

Definitely won't hang on a wall without glue.

The Customise Minifigures Intelligence page on Facebook says that the Disney castle has just started shipping. So we'll see if there's any movement next week, hopefully I'll have something to start building soon. smile
