It's ok but the first UCS set where I've thought it isn't worth the money. Far less about it than a Falcon of Dropship. I mean, £750 for that, about £40 of plastic. The license must cost a fortune per model.

Wow, comparison to the current 2020/21 £140 set.
Hahaha, £750? That's ludicrous!

I'm deffo going to buy that (when it's on sale) but the last 2 ucs star wars models are taking the **** on pricing, that's a similar parts count to the Falcon, I can't imagine licencing costs anymore either.

My 3080 cost that much.
Mine cost less
It's on my list though, hopefully Smyths or someone picks it up and discounts it in a year so at least I can say I got a discount while getting mugged off for a £750 Lego set.

So without wanting yo start an argument, do we think its brexit related as the rrp in dollars and euros is the same as the Falcon.

It’s arrived! 24 stages and pretty weighty. Some of the stages are quite expansive though. 444 pages of build instructions.
Its like a 1080p and a 4K version
Whilst it is cool, at the price it is a definite non buy for me. Apart from the Falcon which I got as a christmas and birthday present I generally try to keep to below £200 for a model.
I'm sure that we have always paid more than the euro currency zone, well according to a Lego forum anywho.
Nice - i'll ordered one but waiting for it come back in stock before they can ship it.It’s arrived! 24 stages and pretty weighty. Some of the stages are quite expansive though. 444 pages of build instructions.

I just meant as it should be the same price as the Falcon, and that's the major thing that's changed recently.
If anything the Falcon is the odd one out. Back in October 2017 the exchange rate was 0.88 £ per euro so 799 euro = £703 but the UK RRP was £649.
The Star Destroyer was £649/699 euro 699 euro back in 2019 when it launched was about £622 (0.89 £ per euro).
Today the its 0.86 and it has been as low as 0.84 which is so 799 euro is £687.
The Brexit impact will have some additional admin cost but we are talking a few £ here and as far as I am aware the regulation the products have to meet hasn't actually changed. The exchange rate has also been all over the place in recent years, as low as 0.91 and as high as 0.84 so there is no doubt some of that built in too.
So the new At-At does feel a bit over priced, perhaps £25-£50 but not close to the £100 you suggest it is.
