    I've been considering it too. It looks pretty nice.

    At least you don't have to fork out $350 USD for the Haslab one right (and cheaper)?

    Plus when you get tired of the Lego Razor Crest you can dismantle it.

    There was someone who posted pictures of their modded Lego RC earlier in the thread... Can't remember who it was though. It looked pretty good to me.

    I haven't opened mine yet but apparently it's a good solid build. Anyone who has it seems to be happy with if. Plus you get the child.

    This is what I'm struggling with. For what it would cost me to back the RC in Canada, a person could get the LEGO Razor Crest, AT-AT, 501st battle pack and the child buildable set.

    The build is one of the best I've experienced in years. Every part felt as if it was lovingly selected for the design (yes, I know that's the case with all sets, but the feeling came through here). The figures are great, the play value is high, and it's surprisingly swoosh-able.

    It's been difficult to find time to continue building the Falcon, but progress is being made..... slowly.

    Ahhh, finishing Bag 3... Those were good memories. Thinking you have enough room to finish the entire build. I still haven't found a good landing spot for mine and not sure if I ever will. This sort of breaks me for building any newer sets that I bought (the Batbmobile and Lamborghini). I ask myself what have I done.

    I’m up to bag 14 and am already terrified about how flimsy some of the panels are. Have a stand ready to go but even putting the gun turret on the bottom was a little bit of a chore to hold it and not pop thing off or apart. Definitely don’t foresee moving it much once I find a resting place for it

    For me, the entire UCS Falcon is not so much flimsy as fragile detail. I worry when I am moving it around that I'll knock off a detail piece and not know where it goes.

    Oh sorry, second version. I forget that there was a first version. Was the first one worse?

    I haven't built the second one yet, but the first one was good. I didn't really have issues with pieces getting winged off. Though I was pretty careful with it. I carried that thing around like I was a forklift, haha.

    So, I saw Mario Mushroom Polybag and a few Blind Bags and got them. They seem to look pretty cool to me. See what the kids think...

    Are you sure that its not the ones that you get high after ingesting them? Either than Mario is taking too much weed and going ballistic. :eek:

    So next round for Ideas is the globe and possibly Sonic? Interesting choice on the globe, although I figured they would go with it since it was neutral and easy for them to choose. I'm guessing Sonic is still pending a license agreement on it.
