Got in the door from the airport tonight and this was waiting for me... I officially have the best wife ever. I can't believe she went to the store for opening and then dragged this beast through

Well after getting through all 8 films and trying to work out which was the bigger mistake in the prequel films Jar-Jar or Hayden Christensens wooden acting, I finally finished the mighty Falcon.

Completed and mounted.  Cannon alternates top/bottom lights. Happy to answer any questions or take different pictures if asked.

elaborate. 
They will upgrade everyone who purchased the set.

AFAIK there is no such thing as banned cards, suspended account equals banned cards.


It appears that Shop at Home and in-store PoS systems have different rules regarding purchase when a member has been banned from Shop at Home.

People who have been banned from shopping online can still earn and redeem in store using their VIP cards.

Think I'll use different card or do a new sign up for that! :smile:

You will sign up for something that you are not entitled for? How do you mean by that?

You will sign up from new account convincing LEGO that you made transaction for MF even without record on your acc for this purchase?

This Christmas...wait till you see some buyers pay $1200.00 for a set that sold for $800.00 a few weeks earlier. This set will be a flipper's dream. Long term...who the Hell knows?
 
I guess I was TOO CONSERVATIVE with my estimate...

well but we've talked minutes ago about certain subject of using banned card, if you are making new acc this whole idea doesn't make any sense.

You just use someone else's address for the other account (like a relative that you trust). Once you cash out the VIP points from the initial purchase, the card is just a status symbol and you keep using your original one.

Under normal circumstances I'd say it's unethical, but in this case because LEGO is being dumb and banning people but letting them still use that account in-store, it's their own damn fault. I guess this was their sad attempt at hampering secondary market sales .. no "first edition certificates" rather "first edition VIP cards." But then they go and do some exclusive launch event with exclusive cards you can only get there that really fire up the secondary market.

Add to that their obvious limited first run supply and they're either really stupid or really smart.

Well I'm addressing those questions because friend of mine who I finally convinced to buy one for himself decided to pull the trigger and buy the MF for himself.
What is the result?

Account immediately banned with his CC blacklisted.
LEGO send him an email with code - "suspicious transaction"

he got his money locked on his account right now for 2x MILF which in Poland costs about 1000USD (RPP Price on website)
why 2? because he thought initially that was a system failure because website was barely working and so on...
But after his second purchase few minutes later he realized what really have happened.

CS: Doesn't provide any comments about cancelled transaction because semi automated system is responsible for giving such status to the account. (I mean Bans)

so he is unable to make any future purchase, his CC is blacklisted and his money are locked down for approx 14 days.

That's why I'm digging.

10179 inner frame is solid,   designed to carry 20 pounds.    many of us assume 75192 would follow it's lead in that area and i'm glad it's true.

Bags #1

Construction begins with the internal chassis upon which everything will be connected to. It's robustly built using studded Technic beams and plates so is very rigid as a result.

Most of today's sets use colour coding of parts to make it easier to find them in the pile and also easier to see them in the instruction steps, and this set does just that: different sized beams are different colours, certain sized plates are tan, others are grey, and so on. The result is a bit of an eyesore but it'll all be covered up so it doesn't matter.

I knew that designer Hans stated that he based this chassis design on that in the original UCS Falcon but I didn't realise until looking at the instructions now just how similar they are:

The build time for this section was about 75 minutes. It's fairly straightforward, thanks to the colour coding, but you will want to ensure you have every Technic pin in exactly the right hole otherwise you're likely to run into problems later.

Bags #9

Now we turn our attention to the top of the mandibles, which are built primarily from plates but with arches used to form the circular holes in the top. The details seen through them were added in bags #8.
