Ed Mack Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 The Falcon is easy to make look old and detailed, with subtle piece color variations. The reason, it's an old bucket of bolts. The Star Destroyer on the other hand is the uber new and perfect machine without a blemish on it. The Empire probably have Stormtroopers out there polishing it. I'm fine with the grey.

BaconBoss2015 Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Still appears to be in stock on-line. I was at the store for the MF launch - couldn't make it there today, so no idea if people queued up outside like for the MF and how many the store had been allocated. For the MF, if my memory serves, the store had 8 at launch. This is the King of Prussia, PA store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty much 100% the one tone of light grey - needed darks and black in there to break the monotony up and make details shine. You must really hate 10030, especially in the old Light Grey. Or did you like the Bluish Grey / Grey mix? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eliminator Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 Yesterday, just before closing my local Lego Store indicated that they received 9 and highly recommended I lineup early for opening to be sure to get one. As of 5:30PM they still have "a few" left in stock... So far, not so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It isn't as iconic of the MF, which will receive a longer run as a result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emonster Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I bought new mf on day one for quick sell which was great.. Will pass on this one, just not feeling it. Find it too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymorgue Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I went to my store and bought one today. They said they had like 30 in stock. When I checked out there were like 8-10 people waiting to get one. I knew it wouldn't be as big as the MF, but I still think it'll do decently.

brickvoyeur Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) Ever needed a non-essential item so immediately that you went to the internet to beg strangers to buy it for you... for the privilege of watching you build it?

BillyBricks Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 45 minutes ago, $20 on joe vs dan said: This reeks of a Milennial entitlement-ism and everything Millennial I tend to think is a joke Based on being too young for 10030, then yes, this person is a millenial, but that term includes a wide swath of ages. For example, I am included in that based on the fact that its definition starts with people born in 1981. Having sold LEGO for a few years now, I have seen people of all ages think they are entitled to items that are non-essential. I get messages on Facebook and eBay with super low offers and a story about how the person really wants the item so I should lower my price. I usually point them to used items or respond to say that I think my asking price is fair but others might not think so and that's fine. Back on topic: I'm glad I realized a couple years back that I just don't covet the Star Wars sets because collecting all of these big ones would sure strain the part of my budget dedicated to entertainment/free spending.

KvHulk Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 That's just a lazy loser no matter what the truth of their life is. If you can't afford something, then surprise, you cannot afford it. Maybe save the charity for the funeral he'll need from vaping... or whatever... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exracer327 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Which is sadder; the guy trying to fund his buying a new LEGO set or the people who are chump enough to donate towards him getting it?

crayxlp Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 (edited) it just makes you wonder - if those texts are real, why these ppl make such fools of themselves.. maybe its different (the sociology, social bonding etc.) in the US compared to the continental EU, but I simply can not see that anybody in Europe would publish someting like this. Personally - blame me, if you want.. I believe its pretty manipulative text (not to forget totally off remark regarding the pre-school kids - I will be rough, but who cares? almost everybody has kids) which has absolutely no substance. i would also love to ride new Tesla car - its so damned expensive.. so what do I do? Make a new campaign on a kickstart? Or buy some normal, affordable car nearby? - this guy - whoever he is - can damned pretty well get some "normal" ISD that LEGO made a few years back for like 200 USD or so..

$20 on joe vs dan Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 maybe it's a social experiment...because I would be very interested in the reasoning of someone who actually donates to something like this. Maybe there's a LEGO Santa Claus out there for AFols Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I´m pretty sure that´s how they got the cash together to build the first Death Star and it´s no worse than any of the scams Lando or Han were involved in..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
