I got this set and built it today. Overall, its a very detailed set, although it is fairly small compared to the 20th Anniversary Slave 1 from a few years back. However, the build is quite nice and it has 707 parts and overall that provides a lot of nice detail for the size of the model. Old versions of this ship are not as clean, IMO. Theres not many studs showing on the exterior of this set and the play features are simple, yet have a nice level of sophistication, especially the part where you push in the nose of the base and it will deploy the bombs. The stand that comes with it is also very simple but extremely useful. So id say the pros are its a good, fun build and looks accurate to the source material. Good minis too. Cons - id rank the 20th anniversary Slave 1 as the best Slave 1 ever made and ahead of this set. The size on this Slave 1 is good if you dont have a lot of shelf space, but if youre looking for minifig scale, the UCS version is probably the best version. This one feels more like a midi scale version. The Lama Su figure is also awesome. I had to add that one to our prequel mini display.

Summer wave hit my local target today. Decided to buy Jangos Slave 1... Also saw the MTT, Clone Turbo Tank and a ucs ATST. Didnt see the others.

I knocked these builds out over the last two days...initially started building the Icons Lighthouse, but the motor was DOA and waiting for a replacement to be delivered by Lego. I hope they make more of these dino scull fossils.

Courting overseas FBA sellers is kind of smart. It would be less likely / harder for overseas sellers to take legal action when Amazon screws up at any point of FBA process.

Supposedly there are two more Star Wars sets coming out this year. 1st one is a Death Star UCS/Master Builder set that contains over 9000 pieces and will retail at 999.99 2nd set is supposedly a 70.00 holiday themed set. Supposedly its a Darth Vader Tie Fighter in gingerbread colors, although i've also heard it's a gingerbread midi scale At-At, but no pictures of it yet to confirm either. Regardless, I want to rant about something. | RANT ON I am finding myself highly annoyed with a majority of lego youtube personalities. After the Death Star was announced, and some information about it was leaked, there was such a whine-fest throughout all the youtube channels. In fact, if you search "Lego Death Star 2025" - all the searches that come up are whinefests. You would think Lego killed their first borns or something, if you watch their videos. I find it highly annoying to even watch 99% of the channels on Youtube. All I want is the information on what's coming out without the whiney crybaby opinions that these so called "influencers" bring to their channels. Let me make my own opinion if I want to buy it or not, I'm not going to be influenced by some dude like M&R productions who obviously profiteers on being a whiney negative nancy 24-7. The dude hates every set that comes out, but he always has to review them, and own them. Why be so into something you hate so much? Get a new hobby. So many channels act like that guy now, and it's left a BIG void on youtube - I'm like Huey Freaking Lewis anymore, and I need a new drug - I want just a simple youtuber that just announces what is coming without giving me his whiney opinion on why it's horrible, and that lego is dead. Lego is not dead, they still make good sets, and they wow me about 3 to 4 times a year with sets. I dont need to be wowed by every set, but THE BEST PART IS NO PICTURE OF THE DEATH STAR SET HAS EVEN LEAKED YET, AND THESE GUYS HAVE ALL MADE UP THEIR OPINIONS! It's a total idiocracy on youtube anymore when it comes to people that have made their personalities about lego content. RANT OFF!
