77904 Comic Con 2020's Nebulon-B Frigate - Ship or Midi scale

[cardensb]

I bought one of my holy grail sets this holiday season then proceeded to break the box's seals and build the ship.  Yes, I did that for the Rebel's Medical Frigate midi scale set.  With Lego's release of so many ship or midi scale sets, I went back and decided to surf eBay until I found a decent deal on a legit set that appeared complete to include box but did not expect to find a sealed set for less than $200 including shipping.

The box art is really great with an artist rendition of the lego build (complete with lego marked studs) on the front and a photo of the built version on the back.

The build manual includes 2020 special edition markings.  The kit includes two numbered bags.

The build is awkward at times with me knocking pieces of gribble, antennas and other protrusions loose at times. She is sturdy on the stand though despite the heavy nose section. Such a weird design, separating the engine section with that thin center section.

The 40th anniversary plaque has a sticker, the only sticker in the set.

Overall, it looks great and is displayed near my Invisible hand.  I think I may MOC up a miniature Falcon to attach under the body using any of the Advent set versions so the ship would appear as it did towards the end of ESB before Lando and Chewie departed.

I believe LEGO's goal is to release enough micro ships to recreate the Final space battle at the end of Episode 9. 

(I believe that's the last time we saw the Ghost and the Nebulon)

Side note: this set took FOREVER to appreciate considering how special it was.  I literally just sold one locally $130 (next one I will post it for $180) and the ad was up for almost 2 years.

eBay sales are going for 180 if unopened.  The opened sets even without the box were going for 100+ and some were hard to tell if #1 complete and #2 if actually lego bricks.
