Ed Mack Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I hate that ship, but at least it's not a remake. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 Nice job LEGO - It has an impressive bulk to it, for a fairly small ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were relatively cheap enough and came with the parts list + UCS sticker. The Defender build uses a lot (about 40%) of the parts from the UCS Tie Fighter, which I already have. I was considering tearing it down to build it into that. Here are the links so you can check them out for yourself: Tie Defender: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274318434630?ViewItem=&item=274318434630 Tie Bomber: https://www.ebay.com/itm/274318434607?ViewItem=&item=274318434607 This builder seems pretty lego, have you built ANY of his stuff yet? I agree he seems to have the closest Tie Bomber to UCS Scale, I saw some on Rebrickable, but they just were dwarfed by the UCS tie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seller may well have bought them from the original owner, but shouldn't be then selling them on. I know the guy who designed the Tie Bomber and he's going to be well p*ssed.

Now, if we can just get that UCS AT-AT for the 40th anniversary of ESB... A remake of the Imperial Shuttle (10212) is top of my list. The original UCS set is great but, it's showing it's age now. There are several issues, such as the visible gears for the wings, that probably wouldn't make it into a current UCS set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, who is the original designer? I have searched for a very long time for a true UCS Tie Bomber and I have not seen this design anywhere else - and there are a lot of Tie Bomber MOCs. Please post the link to your friend's MOC and I will gladly check it out. But I have to say, I have not found this design anywhere else on the internet and I have searched everywhere.

I think 10212 is still top notch. Those flat angles are a challenge. It has size, it's designed really well & the ship itself is iconic. If they remade it without any changes, I wouldn't hesitate & buy it day one. I won't pay the salty 500€ for a new one though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree! The 10212 is a set that came and went during my LEGO Dark Ages but one that I wished I had in my collection. It's beautiful and I really hope for a remake some fine year. Regarding this new UCS A-Wing, I think it looks great and I'm looking forward to building it. I'm sure it will be a very enjoyable building experience! And it will look great on my shelf next to the UCS Slave-1, UCS Snowspeeder (75144) and the Tantive IV (75244). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobot Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 First, incredibly blurry, photo of the May 4th GWP (40407) has just surfaced on Instagram #legoleaks. I haven't posted it, but if it's legit I'm very impressed! It seems to include a micro TIE Interceptor & A-wing above a Death Star trench. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CosmicSpeed Posted May 7, 2020 Share Posted May 7, 2020 Can we take the time to appreciate what might be the BEST UCS box packaging? I got this to build but the box design is so nice, almost makes me reconsider. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
