75192 - UCS: Millennium Falcon 2017

[winder00side]

Work in progress.  Happy with most everything except the engines.  Keen eyes will also notice some custom modifications.

The cockpit is the coolest one

Promo gift, $10 mini after points, and falcon with wheels and special booklet.  They reminded me of a 10% restocking fee during checkout... even if sealed.

What exactly is the 10% charging fee? They charged it from you?

They didn't charge me it but told me if the falcon is returned regardless of being opened they will charge a 10% of the cost as a restocking fee.  It's to deter scalpers/resellers that can't sell the product.

Yes, all brickstuff products.  Right now is on battery but I plan to run a cable through the wall to go off permanent power from a 5v usb charger.

So it's been over 6 calender weeks since 75192 went on sale on 14 September 

no one has yet to receive their personalised black VIP cards. So Lego has failed on that it seems?

Why? They said by year’s end didn’t they? What’s the rush anyways?

The offers start in 2018 and supposedly all ordered by years end will get card but it did say they would be delivered around 6 weeks after order processed.

I just went back .. yeah "up to six weeks after purchase." I still don't see what the big deal is because the offers don't start until next year. "Fail" might be a bit strong in this case... it's literally 2 business days after the original six week window. My goodness!

well with TLG releasing the 10256 Taj Maha again, we now understand their business model clearly. Does this mean we will soon see a release UCS star destroyer? personally I am hoping so for someone who just started getting into Lego sets the past year. why would TLG create a new set when there is a good demand for past ones.

No one said it was a big deal or causing a fuss. I'm right though, they haven't followed through which isn't a great sign for handling the 75192 situation. Also, I'm really looking forward to getting the card and what it unlocks so I'm keen to get it in the hope that with the card we get more info on that.

maybe it unlocks the vault?

I hope so! As others have said would be great to get exclusive mini figures to round out the crew of the MF. That would be a nice touch.

A nien nunb minifigures polybag would be amazing. I think he’s the only falcon crew member never made in LEGO.

Does anyone know what happens for those of us that clicked the email that we still had interest in the MF.

I think you guys are talking two different things.  I believe the other post is talking about the email notification for when the MF is back in stock online and I believe your talking about your local in store list.
