I've been going crazy on Ebay for my Star Wars UCS stuff. The sad thing is, even with new sets you can get them from Ebay , shipped to NZ and still save quite a bit. Sad for NZ retailers that is. Not so sad for consumers I've managed to bang out the Star Destroyer since last posting time lapse and I've almost finished the Blockade runner. I just need to bring a few parts from home to complete (it was missing a few parts) Lots of early starts at work and lunch times used up putting plastic together! and so many more still yet to come - I've got about 8 more kits coming in from the States , Death Star, Death Star 2, Snow Speeder, Sand Crawler, Xwing first UCS, Xwing new UCS, Tie Fighter Interceptor, Tie Fighter Advanced, (told you I went crazy!) Still on the look out for the Y Wing as well phew...

b wing build

thought I'd post the last few builds I've done ATAT build (while not UCS I just love the vehicle - probably my fave in the Star Wars franchise) Shuttle build :)

thanks! will do! :D

is there any place (other than Ebay) people sell used kits? I've noticed that Ebay sellers don't want to ship Internationally as they get charged extra. Which makes life tough waaaay down here at the bottom of the world :D

thanks! i had a look there but their min order was 40 'ish dollars and the stuff I wanted wasn't enough. Toypro didn't seem to have a min , so tried them fingers crossed thanks! :D

Lego has a great customer service for replacing parts that are missing from a new set. Here's a quick link. However, if the set is pretty old I don't think they will replace such pieces and in that case you can try BrickLink. thanks!

I found this site - http://www.toypro.com/ ? :D

Hiya, rookie question, but where would I source missing Lego parts? I'm missing these parts from the Falcon 4211549, Medium Stone Grey Flat Tile 1X6 4514192, Medium Stone Grey Outercable 64Mm 4181144, Black Brick 2X6 4211388, Medium Stone Grey Brick 1X2 I could just take them from other sets I have but I feel thats just robbing Peter to pay Paul Any help appreciated Thanks! John

just finished the Falcon. A few bits missing (3) but only 1 I can't get from home so may have to trawl the Interwebs for that bit. Nothing major though Will post time lapse when I've done it

hiya! thanks! yeah, the SSD is pretty cool! I plan to hang them up in the office and transport them back to the man room at home (once it's built). hoping to add some additions over time, just looking at the Star Wars, brick count by descending now droooooool!

Nah, he paid 999.99 NZD back in 2007 from Toy World which was the RRP in NZ (around 750 US @ 2007 exchange rate). And I paid him 1000 NZD a few days ago. He built it once and put it back in the box So not 500 US (which today is 600ish NZD) , but 840 US? Sounds like we paid a lot more than the US did for it new though!

Thanks! I got the Superstar Destroyer new for a good price and then spoke to a mate at work who I was told had the Falcon (purely to drool over it). Then he asked if I wanted it, I asked how much and I couldn't say no! Turns out he sold it for 1 cent more than he got it new for back in 2007! Talk about right place , right time! Very happy :D

thanks!! :D
