Motorized Lighthouse. Great build!

Looks like I am over this whole LEGO is better than gold thing. When I see a collection of dioramas marked as UCS, all I can say is "meh"

I've spent months, blocking channels that post negative, outrage videos on anything lego. I finally got my feed to where i'm getting more pleasant and more reasonable channels... if I click on that video from M&R, then months worth of work will be unraveled, and youtube will start feeding me the outrage channels again. It's like playing duck hunt blocking the negative nancy channels, in order to give a middle finger to the algorithm. Anyway, I don't know the dimensions on this set, but I do like the design, and it looks heavily detailed. There's supposedly 9000 pieces, so that's a good couple weeks worth of building, and i'm sure it will be interesting to build. The only mini that peaks my interest is the Imperial Dignitary, and to a lesser extent Galen Erso. Everything else is pretty much also in the older sets. This is a set you use your lego rewards points on, and either buy out of the gates and get the special GWP that will probably go for a good amount on ebay....or wait a year until the sales hit. Regardless, I will buy this one. I bought the original one (still mintly boxed), and the second version, but the second version grew quite nicely in value, that I sold it off. I want to get this new version, and build it. I do hope one day, they make a Death Star like the previous version, but it's covered in plates, and looks like an entire Death Star. That's what I was hoping for originally, with this version, but ohh well. This new one is still a nicely designed set.

Less than half; its a slice. Or a Core Sample

I don’t see the value. They took the $80 dioramas and cramped them down in size to fit. It’s 9000 pieces but a majority appear to go towards the frame. There’s a lot of dead space that could’ve been used better. The elevator shafts for example. Not a lot to get excited about IMO. Kind of a joke really.

I did not hold any expectations aside from being large. It is neat for a possibly wall mounted collection of dioramas ....that we kind of already have from over the years individually. This is the sort of build I might expect to see at a Brickfair as a habitat showcasing all the well-known scenes of the Death Star within the homage of one. I wonder what the backside looks like. Also, where is the hot tub at? Haha. At least it is different from the previous iterations ....while simultaneously doing the same thing. I am certainly not the market for this (and still a cheap ass penny pinching son of a brick). It's okay, just not for me.

I'm really worried that they are just saying f- it, let's see how much these rubes will pay. I've got 15 $200+ sets on my wishlist all waiting for some kind of 20%+ sale as they are all $30-$100 overpriced (IMHO). This set at $430 feels $80 - $100 overpriced.

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.
