Did a postcode search and none near me, but quite a few stores did have stock so voted hot :smiley: Select item, but good find.

Was looking at this last night. Decided to buy the Slave 1 instead. Not sure if I should change my mind now..

Slave 1 looks amazing. I think you made a great choice :smiley:

Oh I completely agree but the Helicarrier would look amazing. I really like the micro figs and the mechanical side to it.

Ah well, see I'm not into microfigs (not that there is anything wrong with them, just personal choice) and I'm more into looks than mechanics. Basically, Lego needs to stop bringing out all these big amazing models! The Sandcrawler has been calling to me, but must resist...

Ah don't tempt me. I can't! Just no more display room. You need a museum to display Lego before you know it lol

I've been gutted since i missed the red 5 x-wing by 1 day! I've had a few on my wish list and the sandcrawler is one i've added to the list since then. Didnt like it initially but watched a few reviews and it has grown on me..

Micofigs are where the "money" is, but I'm with you. I'm a builder, not a collector. The Hellicarrier is massive though, so Slave-1 may be a better option if you haven't got the room!
I have no cash (or room) so I'll have to pass. Heated.

Was an Xmas present, but was picked up from Smyths when they had it for £149 I believe.

This is what happens when we don't have wars.
Men remain children and throw all their money at a Danish toy company.

I used to think that way until I realised that really these are 3D puzzles for grown ups. No kid was ever intended as the market for these. It is at the end of the day a hobby that covers puzzles, model making and genre interests. It's not my thing but it is not quite as childish as it first seems.

That is only possible in society like this... man which never grown up, play video games and watch football.
And occasionally buy junk like this and... play again.

Thats a big price for some legos.. Unless ur a collector i dont see any kid playing with this.
Legos are made so u can build whatever you want thats why its so fun. If you buy this and build it by the instructions. Once its built, and you're a kid who wants to play, its gonna get torn apart and built into something completely different, and if so, wont any random lego stuff have the same affect for the kid whos playing? I remember playing legos as a kid and i had many boxes and kilos of the stuff. All comoletely random. Didnt stop my imagination from coming up with stuff to build, and knock it down and build more.
This is seriously for the kids with no imagination or just old collectors who have money to burn.

For the price, id expect this thing to take up the size of my table

Depends on the size of your table, ours takes up the whole coffee table in the sitting room.

Why would you spend that much on a toy?
bradford_dr to otterboxer
17 Jan 16#29
or a car, or holiday, or a house?
These big sets hold their value incredibly well boxed with instructions. Unopened they are appreciating in value and represent one of the best investments on the planet.
My son has this and a large collection of star wars sets. (purchase value £3500, current resell £5200) I anticipate if the need or desire arises he could sell them and have a deposit for a house by the time he leaves home in 10 years or so.

Because its worth every penny and once retired if you want you can sell for profit.

I saw one in Solihull today however the box was quite damaged (ripped fron) so you may be able to get it for less than this if you try haggling.
