I don't know if I was dreaming or what but I could have sworn I saw a post where someone preordered a UCS falcon for a May the 4th celebration this year. I searched everywhere (here, shopathome) and came up with nothing though.

Better yet, he can ship it all to me and I'll take care of finding where those pieces go!

Lego would make a GRIP of $$$ to sell the stand holder so you can prop it up on it's side like this...  Anyone have access to the shape/dimensions of that acrylic holder?

I run a laser cutting shop. Would love to get the dimensions for the holder since we cut acrylic all the time here.

I'd probably will end up with ordering this display.

Pure acrylic display with black bottom also acrylic.
Price approx 96-97 GBP which is reasonable.

After bag 1 I only had the few technic pins left over. 

However after bag 3 I was missing one of those tan plates. I have some spares so it wasn't a big deal. Who know Maybe I put it somewhere and never noticed.

That's pretty cool but would cost way too much to ship overseas. I had looked into something similar for Big Ben and Tower Bridge but the cost to ship to Canada from the UK was insanity. I just had some acryllic 1/8" covers made locally. No bottom, but the sides are melted/glued/something so it's almost dust-free and no clips.

Resolved.

I don't think it's worth the hassle to ship it overseas since it's extremely fragile, spacious and rather heavy. So the shipping costs will hike automatically.
But shipping to UK from Poland makes little more sense to me because there are plenty of private company's out there driving back and forth between UK and Poland so they can make it hassle free and inexpensive.

I have the table to put the Falcon in (and plan to build around it), but not the Falcon....

The table was custom made, incredibly heavy to move and not cheap, but will be worth it once complete.

Im liking that - was hoping to do similar - where was that from and how much please ??

Which store?

Cardiff but I think all stores must be getting the same as I spoke to liverpool on monday and they had the same amount that day, didn't phone liverpool today though. 

Speaking of shipping overseas somebody in the USA got one of those signed 75192 London boxes. You can subtract this one out @Val-E looks like customes wanted to see what's inside the box. 

yours?

I think that was a Theft attempt, normally they would put this under the scanner to determine what's exactly is inside to determine the fee.
That's drama I feel sorry for those people involved in this pathetic clusterf**k.

Whatever the reason for it, that is terrible! 

Only on brickpicker is something a scam or theft at all times

Only on brickpicker is something a scam or theft at all times

...and on The Price is Right!

After bags 1 & 2, normal amount of extras 

Then bags "3" just decided to have everything left over. 

Guess what boys and girls, this set is in Toys R Us's system... that should mean it isn't so exclusive.  Doubt this will have in tore availability but online retailers perhaps.

Oh boy oh boy.

Shocking. Thought I was retiring off this

The box is big enough, I might send one around for BrickPicker signatures.
