Any word on EOL? Has anyone built this and had a defective part?

Took the plunge and bought it. I convinced myself I was only getting back into Lego for the UCS sets but its funny how my interests have quickly expanded to modulars and LOTR sets as well >.< I can imagine this is th case for most.

I didn't quite go through a dark age type experience. I made sure to get every modular when they were out, but now I am going in deeper... I built a Helm's Deep recently, and a Death Star I paid 250 for with a severely damaged box will more than likely be built at some point. You don't realize it is happening until you are out of shelf room...

With the detail in the modulars I would almost venture to say these are UCS type sets. They are definitely growing on me

I agree in the sense that modulars are geared towards AFOLs and their detail level is superb. The ability to display nicely like UCS sets is certainly a perk too.

Haha how true this is. My closet is filling up way quicker than I anticipated.
