Like this one?

I enjoyed the new one, was a fun build and a great model but one of my first thoughts was how much lego has moved on.

Have you built it yet? What do you think of it?
Its quite good, bit repetitive obviously but I’d recommend it.

Have you got/built the UCS MF? I have no idea how long it took, probably a couple of hours a night for almost a month, looks fantastic, complex and clever build in some places, however by the end it started to feel like a chore to complete. I haven't got it built at the moment as I have nowhere to put it.
No I haven't got that it's a bit of a love/hate relationship for me with that set, I tried so many times when it came out but I couldn't get one unless I paid well over the odds. I also ummed and ahhed about it when it first came out 10 years ago then when I did try and buy it they discontinued it.

I have got the USC star destroyer and death star but I don't think I'm going to get the Falcon. I'll probably regret it later...

Probably the right decision, the UCS falcon is amazing but its best appreciated when it's not yours, it's just too dammed big, stupidly so.
knowing that it exists is enough.

I spend a bit of time browsing facebook marketplace and there are a few UCS sets on there, eg New Y-Wing=£150, MF=£500, old Vaders Tie=£180.

Quite apt that this landed today,



Got a week off work next week and in between a LOT of gardening, should prove a fun build and will display nicely alongside my Saturn5 build.

I built the lunar lander yesterday, I thought it was going to be smaller than it is but it's a fantastic model. I'm now building the saturn v. I normally build technic models so these are really nice to do.

That's cool - looks like the same build as the green one in the two car GT set (75888)?

I have not seen any other upcoming speed champions sets and this one does seem to be exactly the same at the other one, but looks really good in white
I got it in Argos btw

Built the 911 today.





A great little model. I just wish it was Guards Red.

I bought and built the white 911 Turbo too. Had already got the pieces I needed to add wheeltrims, as with my green one.
