With that and the UCS Tumbler, does anyone else think they are starting to take the pee with the UCs model prices?

They're a lot cheaper than current UCS models, which are normally in the region of £275-350, although the piece counts are about half of those models as well. Tumbler (1800) £160, Slave I (2000) £200. I think the prices are about normal.

Lego Death Star (3800) - £275
Lego Superstar Destroyer (3150) - £350
Lego Sandcrawler (3300) - £250
Lego Red Five X-Wing (1600) - £170

...Original UCS Millenium Falcon (5200) - £350

$199 they estimate, so £200 over here. Money put aside!

Don't know why you'd make a 200 dollar UCS set to be £200, the UCS Tumbler is $200 and is £160.

 

[Broken Hope]

Around 2000 pieces for £150-£160 has been the norm for a long time.

UCS sets are never cheap, I don't know why you'd suddenly expect them to be now.

Got some bits at legoland, cheaper than anywhere else for what we got.

HH87 is all but finished it's run so my son bought it for himself as he wanted reko hardeen and cad bane and together on ebay they go for almost the cost of the set anyway

The kingdom stuff was in the clearance bin and will be stocking fillers

Poo through his letterbox.

I have to go down there and empty the letterbox next week as they're away, so no thanks

So empty it....and then fill it...

I want some Lego...

 

[xGBHxPegasus]

Picked up the Tumbler while in Florida, my god the box is big! Although sister didn't get discount as it was one of the 19 odd sets cast members don't get discount on

Staff were very nice though, asked if I was a VIP member (I am, but haven't got a card or anything) and she looked it all up on the system and put the purchase on the account, got some extra goodies and loads £5 off voucher for next purchase.

Also received the Exo suit which has been built, will start the tumbler this week

I need more lego... for the kids obviously

 

[dannyjo22]

I need less, now when my son is naughty and we ban him from Lego we have to shut off sections of the house because it's easier than removing it from his rooms

 

[TheBDog]

In the process of custom building some Destiny-esque Lego

Looking at Galaxy Squad for vehicles and various body parts. Excited

 

[Simian]

...will start the tumbler this week

No Box unfortunately Had to leave that in Florida

Its a lot bigger than I expected it to be tho! Wheels are about the size of the palm of my hand

 

[Jonnycoupe]

Lots of stickers aswell !

 

[Simian]

I said to the wife, next time we go to America I'm taking an empty Carry-On Sized suit case just so I can fill it with Lego whilst I'm out there!!

 

[dannyjo22]

Lots of stickers aswell !

I'm glad I'm not the only one that hates stickers in sets. My 5 year old does a better job of them than me

Edit, why did you have to leave the box in Florida Pegasus?

Had waayyyyy to much luggage as it is, although I did see someone else with it in a lego bag at the terminal.

Could've folded it up I suppose, but I couldn't be bothered

 

[dannyjo22]

Damn, I keep all the boxes. I'd have weighed up the savings and posted the box to myself
