Porsche set finally arrived today (after placing order on 19th Oct with Dollhousebuilder). Instruction booklet had been placed in a brown envelope inside the box, so only had a few creases. One bag containing all the small black pins had split, so had to fish them out of the box, but don't think the box was sufficiently well sealed to avoid losing any. Suppose I will check all the parts are there before starting the build, which will be a bit tedious! Not sure if I will order from Dollhousebuilder again, as I had to chase them after their first UPS tracking number remained invalid for 10 days, guess it will depend if I find too many parts missing.
A plea for anyone with a UCS falcon who has yet to build.
One of mine was missing the bag 05033-14 (the numbers are small and stamped on the bags). Mostly 3x6 flat plates. I robbed my second model for them and contacted the seller to say the entire bag was missing.
However, they've asked me to give all the relevant part numbers so they will send me the missing bits. Trouble is, without inventorying the entire set, now the bag's opened and been raided I've no idea what was originally in it?
If anyone would be kind enough to have a look and even just give me a descriptive list that would be hugely appreciated. The bag is mixed, but mostly similar parts.

I have nearly bought one of the star wars kits, but holding out for an at at. Anyone any info if in pipeline?
Nothing, and I doubt you will see one because they have only done current sets and retired UCS sets. There were no UCS AT-AT sets ever. It is more likely Lego will do a new one with them being featured in the Rogue One movie and Lepin might copy that. Or try to find the recent version at a decent price.I have one and its good but not huge for £100.

I was thinking this one, £600 on Amazon...

Yeah, thats not considered UCS so I doubt Lepin will do it anytime soon. There are many real UCS un-copied so far. That AT-AT belongs to a strange sub-UCS category of large Star Wars sets that were above the usual "wave's" we get twice a year but below UCS. They are all in the 10000 number range -10144 Sandcrawler
10178 Motorised Walking AT-AT
10195 Republic Dropship with AT-OT Walker
10198 Tantive IV
I had the Dropship/AT-OT combo which was pretty impressive and the Sandcrawler which was not good, the new UCS version is vastly superior. Your best AT-AT option is 75054 or wait for a new one.

I'm sorry, I've already started mine or I would have obliged - my bag 14 is opened and half finished. One of mine was missing the bag 05033-14 (the numbers are small and stamped on the bags). Mostly 3x6 flat plates. I robbed my second model for them and contacted the seller to say the entire bag was missing.

What a build though... 3 evenings down and you still wouldn't know what I'm building if you weren't in the know...
Right.
This f
king Falcon.
How in the name of all that's right do you get the legs to stay on? Every time I try and get them in, I end up knocking half of the build apart. The rear lower section keeps fragmenting. I very nearly attempted genuine flight with the MF (that's mother fker, not millennium falcon) last night. Infuriating. To the point that the build is no longer enjoyable.
That'll fking learn me to buy a kids toy now I'm a proper adult.
AAAAAAARGH

I haven't bothered with the Falcon. I had the lego original for a while and whilst it looks great, the build was dull, it was too big to put anywhere and very fragile. This f

That said the temptation is still very strong.
