Decided to give in and spend a chunk load of money on this set. Used and in good condition, Will be doing a stop motion build on this once I can verify all the pieces and sort them out.

 

 

Whatever you read about this set regarding the size  nothing will prepare you for it! once you get it!! This is a huge set and the number of bags is overwhelming to say the least. It is a true monster of a set! worth every $ I paid for it.

 

Enjoy!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Awesome! If there was a set that everyone wishes they loaded up on, it`s this guy. At least 1 to build. Can`t wait for the video, though I`m certain it will take some time 

Awesome! Did you end up swapping with someone on here? That has to be expensive shipping to UAE! I flew through Dubai recently, could have packed it along for you. :-)

Wow! You got a 10179 MF. Enjoy building it! I hear it is a long build but it should be worth it.

Actually not too bad ended up shipping it through UPS cost me around $170 insured. The customs cost me another $140 so that was a bummer. 

 

next time your here gimme a buzz 

congratulations.  be sure to post pics once built.

 

 

i also suggest building it from the PDF.  the manual is sorta delicate and takes up too much space while building.

Honestly I could not wait to see if they will release another falcon in the future so I ended up getting one. Even the freakkin radar is huge!! Will post pics of the bags later. All the Important parts there

I am jealous, super super jealous

Congrats.

Too bad the shipper went cheap on the shipping materials. For something that expensive I would have NOT put it in a custom made box with not enough bubble wrap. For $170 shipping I would have expected at least bubble wrapping that covered the ENTIRE 10179 box :D :D

Please correct me if I'm wrong. You do awesome time lapse build videos, right?

Wow, great buy.  I don't mind living my life vicariously through other people.  Today it is you and I'll be right next to you again when I watch your video.

Happy Friday to you!!  That looks awesome!!  Enjoy building it. 

I built mine with the intention of selling it after taking some photos, but fell in love and have it displayed on my stereo cabinet. It's a work of art. 

 

On a related subject, what do you guys think will happen to the value of this set when the next movie comes out? It's been confirmed that the Falcon will be featured in the film. Will the price shoot up even further? Or has it hit a ceiling?

It will probably go up even further, the fact that it's getting more exposure, the more people knows about it, then bigger chance people want to buy it.

Awesome man, sometimes I dream about finding this set in the back of some garage sale lol.  Perhaps if this investing gig works out I'll spend some of the profits on one.

Nice.. I wish I had one. Have fun building it. looking forward to your video. 

thanks..i figure just around 5200 pics and ill be done. I've no where come close to taking that many pics in my entire life of owning a camera. This is going to be a challenge to say the least. 

first congrates and have fun. next can we get a poll going on how long this undertaking will take?

great but how do I add a poll in here? I tried the poll manager but I cannot seem to link it with this post

I can add a poll to the thread if you figure out what you want it to say for the question & options.
