Building the 10240 X-Wing Fighter

I am going to get the 10240 X-Wing Fighter soon and I am just wondering if any of the Brick Picker members have built the 10240? Was it fun? Was there anything challenging about the set that I should know about?

From what I hear, the most challenging part is getting the canopy sticker on straight. In fact, Lego gives you two of them in some kind of "we know this is impossible, but we're giving you two chances instead of fixing the problem ourselves" apology. But, there are tutorial videos on youtube to help you out with some tricks involving soapy water. Either way, a sticker that size on a $200 set is a deal breaker for me.

Thanks, I read about that on a review for the set but I didn't know it was that hard that there are videos on how to do it better.
