Does anyone know of anywhere you cans still buy the Batmobile? The one from the first 2 with Michael Keaton?

The 1989 one?

That’s been out of production for a few years. You could try bricklink or eBay.

Perhaps a dodgy China brand is selling a knock off version on Ali Express.

Are the UCS models all roughly the same scale? The X-Wing and TIE Interceptor specifically?

The answer to your question appears to be yes - well the Tie fighter anyway.

This review has them pictured side by side.

Perhaps I should have specified the single or dual person fighters!

i think the fighters look a good size. I do think the falcon is a tad small to get all that detail in, however I realise it already takes up a large chunk of my desk.

Or try a MF MOC !

Which is the knockoff of the UCS X- Wing? I believe there may have been more than one UCS version? Is it Red 5?

Built the John Deere recently - loved it!

Impressed how big it actually is!

Bought a fake Lego set off Temu for under £25 and it surprised me was really fun to build and really good quality and no missing parts and even looks good

I sold my spare one not long ago. Got very popular that model

Argos had 25% off. May have ordered the venator and ucs speeder for 600. Not sure where I'll put the big ship, but thats not a today problem .

Making a little progress with the Falcon build...

 

[theone8181]

Looks like I need to message Argos as I've just had an email to say the venator part of my order has been cancelled. Wonder if they ran out of stock (although still available on the website).

Got a few UCS sets I need to dismantle and box up back in their original boxes to either sell or store long term - any recommendations on storage bags ? been looking at poly bags, freezer bags etc anyone have any other ideas ? ta

 

[b0rn2sk8]

Zip lock bags basically. Last time I went to ikea I got a load, they do some pretty big sizes.

I tend to put similar parts together, e.g. 1 bag = small technic beams, 1 bag = large technic beams etc. as re-assembly is a nightmare otherwise.

Same.
Thinking of selling the falcon actually as it takes up so much space and I just don't feel the love for these grey sets anymore

Funny you should say that, I need to make room so I can start building the falcon
