That's still £250 minus fees/postage/packing/tax which is too close to RRP for my liking with virtually no profit. I was too naive back then and paid RRP for them, there's no way I'll buy UCS again unless it's >33% off and it'll be for collection only.

xxgatorzxx Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Built this the last few days, was b-day gift from wife. Got from ebay, damaged box for 250. I must say this was a very fun and interesting build. As an AFOL drawn from the dark ages a few years ago this makes a nice addition to my small but growing collection. that is all xxgatorzxx 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably only the Millennium Falcon can top it. I don't even think the new Snowspeeder will. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 It´s not a CITY Firestation. Lego know they need to feed demand by giving these big sets a break for a while. DS has been an exceptional set in many ways. We should be safe for 5 years, at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DS has been an exceptional set in many ways. We should be safe for 5 years, at least. Indeed, there are the usual candidates for remakes and the ones that are unlikely. Police/fire stations are regular traditional kid stuff; X-Wing, Death Star and Millenium Falcon are the backbone vehicles of Star Wars: it would be mental to think that they would not be remade. SC was not a popular seller so I would say the chance for a remake is low. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandyHand Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 For Star Wars UCS sets to get a remake is a pretty rare thing. 7191 X-wing Fighter was remade as 10240 Red Five X-wing Starfighter with 13 years between release dates. 10129 Rebel Snowspeeder is getting a remake as 75144 Snowspeeder with 14 years between release dates. 10144 Sandcrawler (not classified as UCS set) was remade as 75059 Sandcrawler UCS set with 9 years between release dates. 10188 Death Star has been remade as 75159 Death Star, nearly seamlessly. Because it's a LEGO flagship set and the demand is there, obviously. 8097 Slave 1 (not UCS set but a big playset) has been remade as 75060 Slave 1 UCS set with 5 years between release dates. I would say that the chance that the 75095 Sandcrawler is getting a remake that is at least as good if not better within the next 7-8 years is slim to zero. A more likely chance I estimate is a new (smaller and less detailed) playset Sandcrawler. Similarly to how the UCS Imperial Shuttle (10212) got a smaller playset version released as the IST (75094). 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Val-E Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 (edited) Don´t worry, they´ll just make up a new moniker like Super UCS or UUCS. Edited March 2, 2017 by Val-E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Why would LEGO remake a poor seller, with so many more potentially lucrative options and reissue candidates? The 75059 is a quality set that didn't find enough love from fans. Unless LEGO plans on doing a 6000+ piece set remake, interest in this set or future remakes of the Sandcrawler won't change. I'ts no X-Wing, Falcon or Star Destroyer. Why don't people write about remaking the UCS B-Wing? Because to me, they are very similar sets. Nice, but not nice enough. No love equals no remakes...
