There are two blinking lights in the cockpit.  Then there are four on the top cannon that are synchronized in a 2x2 pattern.  All Brickstuff lighting. 

 

LUKE: What's that flashing?

HAN: We're losing a deflector shield. Go strap yourselves in. I'm going to make the jump to light speed.

(from A New Hope).

 

Awesome lighting by the way, I particularly like the engines.

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.

Lego SAH now says “coming soon”
Interesting since I think they have a long way to go to fulfill in store waitlist.



Interesting, I’m hoping this article is more accurate. At least until I sell or trade mine. =)

Certainly isn't cheap, but the product is top notch. For people who spend $800 on a set, another $200-400 to make it over the top isn't unreasonable. 

I don't know. I did spend $800+ bucks on this monster and I would be interested in paying like $100 more to see it glowing and screaming in my shelf but $200-400 just seems too much...

Call me crazy, but I never noticed the set in Walmart/Target's system up until now, wasn't there when it was in Toys R Us's system quite sometime ago.  Walmart actually has a photo for it on the seek.

DPCI: 204-00-2160

Walmart: 138857969

Toys R Us: 810544

This set will undoubtedly have a wide release, sooner rather than later!

Hmmmm. I guess I didn’t read the email correctly. I thought Lego said my black VIP CARD was in the mail about a month ago. Apparently it must have said,

“Congratulations on your $800+ purchase of a really cool box of molded plastic blocks and choking hazards!! As a reward we will be sending you and 10,000 other people a one of a kind, but completely non personalized and easily reproducible laminated piece of thin cardboard/ thick paper!!! We would like you to know how much we appreciate your love of Lego! This “special” VIP card, which can also easily be worn on a lanyard (not included) by poking a hole through the top, will make you and many others eligible for, yet to be determined, AMAZINGLY HO-HUM discounts and 15 minutes of early access to our “crashed servers” on occasional future sales!! This card, which you should have already received, is coming!!!
We, at Lego, are thinking, very hard might I add, about potentially sending it possibly in the near to distant future; almost 50/50 to 73% chance one way or the other, maybe, but most definitely eventually.

Thank you again for YOU, but mostly your money!!!

Sincerely yours,
Lego”


For those still waiting just to buy the set, I apologize for my sarcasm.

Completely the truth.  All marketing to separate people from the money, a black VIP card, what a terrible idea.

Honestly if you were expecting anything other than a cash grab weak promotional value product, then you are naive. I highly doubt this program will be anything coveted and special.  I think things will be changing as well due to the larger demand that Lego did not expect.  I can imagine they were of the belief that a limited amount of people would purchase it thus making it more coveted of a program.  Now that "everyone and there mother" (/s) has purchased the set, it to be diminishes the value of the Black VIP program due to the shear quantity in sales differences.

Yeah we will get little gifts, mini figures, or extra points, but I doubt it will be a grand spectacle.

No matter what the exclusive promotion is, just wait for the internet backlash from everyone who (weren’t going to buy one anyways) complains about how it was impossible to buy one because they didn’t make enough and now they’re missing out on some awesome promo.

A little sarcasm but when LEGO stopped taking backorders or putting people on wait lists, they have to be able to predict some anger if the exclusive benefits are any good at all.

The details on LEGO Shop at Home now mention "12 weeks" to get your card.

I suppose there really is no point to actually having the card.  The card uses the same number as your regular vip card, it's just a fancy piece of laminated paper to show off.  So regardless of having it or not we are all "part of the system".  

But damnit, I spend $800 buckaroos, I demand my laminated paper promptly as said.  How dare they get my hopes up.

Entire industries and markets have been built on status symbols and showing off. And thats what this is a little black card that says "I have enough disposable income to purchase an 800 dollar LEGO set." Any special promotions are just gravy on the biscuits...

I just can't process through my grey matter in brain the fact that someone could pay 1500GBP/2200USD for painted piece of plastic.

Just can't

To be fair,, you do get a snazzy wristband too.
