Bought my daughter the flower bouquet set she wanted. Her birthday soon.

Finally got the Tie Pilot Helmet, it already been built and broken down again. Damn these retired sets with inflated prices.
I ended up paying £100.
But in hindsight it's a lot cheaper than a 4090

That's at least one thing with lego. Better to buy and not build. Than not buy and want to build later
Value seems to rarely go below rrp after retirement
Was tempted to do same with ISD. But just too much to spend. And it would require new house/loft conversion type of thing to actually have anywhere to display

Leaked images circulating of a UCS HulkBuster build. 4049 pieces. 
Saying it will retail for £400.
EDIT.
My UCS Star Destroyer has finally been shipped.

Its one of my faves too. Probably after building an airfix one as a child 40 years ago.
Just wish we could get the launch pad thingy too..

Out of curiosity, you ordered yours directly from LEGO or elsewhere ?? Just curious because I ordered mine on Wednesday (not from the LEGO shop though) and it arrived a few hours ago !
Also got these 4 helmets a while ago. Sorry for poor quality on the picture, didn't realize that until I uploaded the picture from the camera and can't retake the picture as the boxes are packed away.

We’re sure you’re eager for your order to arrive and we’re working hard to get it to you as soon as possible. We wanted to let you know that we’re receiving a high volume of orders so it’s taking longer than normal to get them packed and shipped. Here’s what we’re getting ready for you: |

I always get that and then it ships a few hours later.

Darn, seems LEGO is busy ! Hope you have it tomorrow then !

Have anyone used Lighting Kits for some of your LEGO sets ?? Thinking about getting this for the Star Destroyer, and later also getting other lighting sets for other models.

But, if anyone has experience with lighting kits and know of others, I would love to hear about it and where you bought it from !
Light Kit for Imperial Star Destroyer 75252
Illuminate the might of the Empire with the LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer 75252 enhanced by LEGO Lights, making it a display of galactic proportions.

Ordered Monday morning, was ready for delivery on Friday (probably got in before the double points rush). Seems to have shipped in two boxes, unsure if it’s all arriving. Couldn’t take delivery yesterday, so I’ve delayed it all until Monday.

I’d be curious about this one too. I’ve read it’s a complete faff with the falcon, but I’d be curious. I can’t decide whether it looks tacky or not.

Honestly wouldn't bother, never turn it on and unless your going to hardwire it somehow you just forget about it.

Since you asked.
Not too fiddly apart from on the guns. Sorry about the quality, youtube has butchered it.

This is why I don't do it.
I only use leds where they can be mains wired. Just a faff otherwise
Soldato
Could you link to such lighting sets please ?
Sorry I meant with led lights in general. I have a few light strips in my study. All mains powered
