£342 for a bucketful of bits of plastic seems a bit rich to me.

T'is a tad on the expensive side but I'd not be surprised that if you purchased 2 you'd make back the cost when they stop making it, which they will, and you sell the 2nd one.

I've wanted one of these for ages but they take up a lot of space once built. They are a cracking build though I really enjoyed the builds for my star destroyer and death star, they seem to be appreciating in value too.

Yeah i'll keep it until I really feel like building it. It's still all sealed up in its shipping box. Way things are going it may stay like that for years !!

i was able to get one off e*ay for about £250 a while back. Took me a month to build but it looks fantastic. When i first opened the box and poured the contents on the living room carpet i nearly had a heart attack at the sight of the huge mound of plastic in the middle of the room. Luckily my wife helped me separate the pieces into containers as they are packed randomly.

I was given one of these for christmas, 7 months ago (there's been a lot on. I agree with the 70-odd hours build time). Just finished it today.

For those who cant afford/justify "The Daddy".

This Tesco Exclusive LEGO Star Wars kit is to celebrate 10years of LEGO Star Wars. This special edition mide-scale Millennium Falcon. For the first time ever, the legendary Star Wars starship, the Millennium Falcon, is featured in this smaller, yet highly detailed scale. No minifigures are included. This is suitable for 8years and over.

Says it's £39.99 on the web but it was £29.99 in my local store and with double up clubcard points on toys it cost £15 of clubcard vouchers to buy.

I'd love the big daddy MF, I'm jealous. I also want the AT-AT! I'd have to buy 2 of each though, one to keep and one to build.

Already push my luck with the GF by having multiple games consoles though.....biggrin
