Ordered it last night!!

I really wanted to get the Millennium Falcon Set, but they sell for £1000 on the bay now!

Anyone want to see a "Build Log" on this?

meh, not "real" lego anymore, far to many specialist pieces moulded for just that model.

350 quid? Does it actually fly and take you into other galaxies?

I kinda agree with this, it feels more amazing when big displays are used with the standard parts rather than the odd shapes they create to make them especially.

I agree with SB118

Still we need pictures of this when you've put it together!

Wasn't that the Millennium Falcon?

Oops thought he was making the falcon.

This is a bigger waste of money than that person's football cards. But have fun with your toy

I think this will probably increase in value.
The Millennium Falcon Set was released in similar numbers in 2007, and cost around the same.

Second hand sets sell for the £1000 mark on the bay now.

It's going to be fun to make it, and it will be worth a lot more in a few years time!

If lego is your thing, I think you've made an excellent choice.

Congrats, you've just personally told George Lucas to make more Star Wars carp!

Kutter · 6 Feb 2012 at 08:09

How can anything starwars be a waste of money?

LordSplodge · 6 Feb 2012 at 08:09

Buy in. Keep it unwrapped in the box. That shoul annoy enough people.

Great purchase by the way. All you need now is a Lego Death Star to crash it into (and a Lego A Wing to crash into the Super Star Destroyer)

Whilst I completely agree with you my life cannot continue to function without that thing in it :eek:

£349.00

Star Wars, nuff said. :cool:

We do need a build log and pics.

Agreed lego was all about making it into multiple objects from it not just one model.

To you it may be a waste, but different people like to spend their money on different things

I wish I'd got one of the large Millennium Falcon ultimate edition sets when they were released, but unfortunately I didn't have the free cash to do so at the time.

I do have the large ultimate edition X-Wing (7191) and Tie Interceptor (7181) sets as well as a still sealed ultimate edition Star Destroyer (the 10030 model, of which there are a couple listed on a popular auction sites for just under £1k :eek:

).

Some older lego can be stupidly expensive though. Something like a space lego 928 set from the late 70's early 80's can go for up to £200 and a kilo of random space lego from that era will frequently go for up to £100. But I agree that there are far to many set specific bits nowadays.
