My Falcon came and the box has a large crease in it
Hopefully I'm able to get a replacement.
i'm gonna say not to expect to.

They will let you return the order and get another, but they don't replace boxes alone.
Page 3 of this thread. There's a video showing how sturdy it is as well.

Hm. Just thinking about attaching that is stressing me out, but that is how I want to display my Falcon.

Similar to what I had contemplated as I was building. Stick the frame into where the landing pads should be.
I have childhood pic where I was playing with system bricks around the time my sister was born which means I was like 2 years old.
Not sure if it was set 1922 https://brickset.com/sets/1922-2/Basic-Building-Set-with-Storage-Case , but we definitely had it as I can remember the cut off box lid with the little duck staying around long long time. Those sets came with 2x2 brick parts being the biggest. Right now you don't get those.
I guess the 2-3y olds of now would be able to play with those too.
The other thing is if you have more kids with about 1,5-2y apart it is so much easier to keep even the 3-4y olds at Duplo. Even if they would be able to play with those Juniors by themselves, turn around for few minutes and puff ... the ninja hid in the nose of they younger one....

Ok so i KNOW it's been done to death and all but i don't care!!
I just got done with this set and you guys better get ready for Scouttrooper Shenanigans part ....10 i guess? (not sure how many times this set has been posted for shits and giggles but it was often):
Truly...the KING of posability!
Everyone that does not own this yet, get on it asap!! (or wait for a sale, but do not miss this)

This set makes me realize how much more people need to get into Constraction sets... so underrated and normally passed

They should make a C3PO buildable

This. I wasn't a fan at first myself, but Grievous and this one for instance are simply sublime!!
Bring on Fett now.

At that point, they should just say "screw it" and make most of the structure out of Duplo. It'd be the only way to keep the cost and piece count reasonable, and also help a lot with the structure.
Wonder why they don't include Duplo bricks. They work great for structure. And are completely legal with builds using regular Lego bricks.
K-2SO is also fantastic.
There is a Boba coming if I am not mistaken.
I have a love/hate relationship with constractions. Don't like to build them, but can't resist buying them. They look so cool on display

They need to make less human ones and expand it for me to buy more now. I already have a couple troopers and dont plan on buying others with a slightly different build and will never buy one with a human face. Only times I get excited for constraction now is for cool builds like the speeder bike and K2S0. But thats like 1 set a year.
Gimme more robots or technic star wars vehicles and Ill get excited again. Maybe *gasp* a new theme

I love the Constractions. Eagerly awaiting Boba Fett. I was this close to repainting Jango!

It's probably because they're out of stock. I'd be annoyed but I'd return it. I'm not paying that much money and not getting it in a good enough condition. It'll be available eventually.

I stopped at bag 14 for the night. Will probably finish Friday now since Blade Runner is my night tomorrow and Thursday. Amazing build when you get away from the fiddly shit.

Been watching horror films as I build the last few nights. Tonight was a double feature of Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight and how Evil Dead 2.
Bag 16 time! The end is near!
Edit: stopping at 16. So exhausted. One last set to go and this beast is complete. Tomorrow!
any idea where they got that coffee table/display stand that seems perfectly sized for the falcon?

This was the link provided in the thread for it:
http://www.moblerfurniture.com/living-room/coffee-and-end-tables/coffee-table-white/
thanks. Interesting - in the pic I assumed it was a closed off display box. that link looks like our coffee table except we don't have that base to it. So could in theory mod something with wooden base and legs screwed in.
What are the dimensions of the MF when built?

Either I've got no patience in tiny tiny tiny pieces of I just hate technic lol
Bought a snow plow technic set and it's all tiny pieces, fuck that.

Awesome. Just finished Falcon and as I was closing the instruction manual I accidentally tore a page near the back of the book. Wonderful.
I had it pre-ordered, but cancelled pending further impressions. Too bad they couldn't include TLJ and the new UCS Falcon.
The preview pages on amazon didn't really grab me. Neat as a coffee table book but I already have so many books like that which are LEGO-centric as it is.
It's only natural.

The Saturn V is back in stock! Just got mine ordered! I can't wait!

Between Saturn V and UCS Falcon, LEGO is getting their moneys worth out of the newish 2x3 bow piece.

I actually found two of those at TRU a week or so ago. Seems to be the best bet if you're still looking for one.
The new UCS Falcon is in there, but not the TLJ sets.
And yes, while it is nice to have all of the sets in one large coffee-table book, there is a lot of repetition from the previous LEGO Star Wars books.

It's crazy how 4 months later it's still fluctuating between being in stock and not. Glad I got mine from Barnes and Noble a couple weeks before it came out
Isn't this the part which is responsible of the slow restock of Saturn V?
Ryan242004

Yeah I've been checking there, Barnes and noble and a local toy store for weeks and haven't seen any so far. The only thing my TRU had was the yellow submarine.

No clue. But looking at Brickset it seems a popular part this year.

Nov 18th-19th I think.
Oct 10-25th
I remember reading they had troubles producing Saturn V because of a new part that was really common in this set, I thought it as the one...

Well, there are a ton of that part, so it might be.
