7500 pieces... You guys going to mix the bags?

The original UCS Falcon predates numbered bags and I'm not doing that again. Collecting stacks of grey rectangles and triangles by shape was a huge pain in the ass.

7500 pieces... You guys going to mix the bags?

There is at least one person here who will, if that person gets it. Not me tho, I don't mix bags, I spend enough time working on MOC's to waste on finding parts.

I always mix the bags.
That crrsh crrrsh sound searching for that one piece is what LEGO is all about.

Spoiler

Brings me back

 

[Just_one]

Screw the Falcon

all i want to know is 2 things :

1 - whats the new modular?
2 - will they go back to normal 32x32 baseplate (which i hope they do , assembly square was the 10th anniversary , lets keep it special)

 

[mrklaw]

So previous UCS MF plus almost two of the normal size MF

I've posted this before, but I essentially did the Death Star with mixed bags and I would not recommend it. All the sorting and stacking and reaching sucks some of the fun out of the process.

Funny thing on those photos, how they pose the railroad crossing sign and barrier (on remote side) logically wrong , just not to show their "ugly" side

 

[DonShula]

Well now I'm probably gonna buy the damn train station and the damn train.

I love that bus, I hope someone on bricklink sells just the bus lol

 

[papluh]

Seems they got inspired by crossings in our country, the bump blew off the roof

Yaaaaasssssss

Give it to me.

Only in the box shot, the other images are right.

September 1st apparently.

September 1st apparently.

Got that in the mail yesterday!

So hopefully when I walk into the LEGO store on Sept 1st to pick up some Last Jedi sets they'll have it built and on display.

And if that's the case... they should be receiving them very soon (if not already) to get prepared due to how large it is. Assuming it works that way?

They can't expect the staff to build something that giant in a few days. Need plenty of breathing room.

 

[ghostmind]

I think the Winter Village Station is perfect for the theme. Looking forward to picking it up in September, and then putting them all back together for the last time (I'm establishing some permanent storage for all of the WV sets going forward).

Thread worthy?

 

[Ponn]

I love that Train Station. I can see how on its own it might not look exciting on a shelf but if you are collecting and building a WV theme this is a critical piece now. I really love the old time vehicles they keep doing for this theme like the plow truck from Cottage and the PO Truck and now this.

 

[Marty Chinn]

Wake me when we get UCS Maleficent as a dragon.

I've seen this before. It's kinda big though...

 

[Maengun1]

I always pick up the winter village sets now, my first impression scrolling through and seeing the first pic was "well it's good not amazing, but I'm spending the $99 regardless......"

Then I saw $79 and now I love it lol.

I only started with the market year, I wish they'd update the bakery/post office/cottage like they did the toy shop

 

[ghostmind]

Sure, I can copy/paste it into a new thread in the OT.

No one else who would prefer something else than yet an other millennium falcon?

 

[papluh]

Yes, but that can be said about most of the WV sets with few exceptions.
They are like Junior Expert sets with some small SNOT here and there and that's it.
Compared to regular CITY sets, they still look a lot better. But the funny thing is sets like Friends 41323 Snow Resort Chalet don't differ too much on first look (on second you see the lack of any SNOT techniques and some crude colors)

By the way, to prepare for the September 1st reveal and thread, is there a good page we can link if people ask about the current and upcoming Star Wars sets aside from the UCS MF?

Wait is it being announced September 1st or coming out on Sept 1st

 

[ChubbleDucks]

Don't own the original so would love the MF but I would prefer an AT-AT.

I'm new to lego anyway and only own slave1 at present so might go for something cheaper like the UCS tie-fighter.

 

[DonShula]

Announced 9/1. As has been the plan.

I'd prefer UCS Cloud City. I really don't want or need a Falcon that large.

Is there truly not a LEGO version of this scene yet from any of the shows?

Not that scene, but there are others...

You know, I'm surprised they didn't make his office a set. The play feature would be raising the middle up and some hidden Sith artifacts behind art etc.

 

[BentBricks]

Duplo bricks will make it the largest set ever.

Kind of feels weird that they tell you to go to a physical store to find out what it is in this day and age.

I'd be disappointed if I went in to buy only to be told come back in two weeks.

So will the Train be available this Christmas as well? I'm not too fussed about the Station but, damn, that train would look amazing alongside my Modular Street come Christmas time.

It's Force Friday and they are having a bunch of Star Wars specials starting that day for the weekend only. They want you in the store to buy stuff so its not weird in that context. Also its going to be all over, its the worst kept Lego secret in years. They've just done a bang up job of keeping the actual box and pics secret.

They weren't exactly attempting to keep it secret to be fair.

 

[papluh]

So far, everything that we learned about MF came from LEGO and as there was no big leak they were allowed to play this marketing/hype game last 3 weeks. And there have to be real specimen somewhere (with just 9 days to reveal and 3 weeks to release) so this is really surprising.
Ok, there was the screen pic with price, but that was not really confirmed to be real.

So it is not about secret, we are just being played by their marketing...

 

[DBT85]

Since I don't have and never will be able to afford the original UCS one, I can't fathom why it would be difficult to understand myself and many others wanting one.
