There are lots of opinions on the potential of the Sandcrawer in the 21 previous pages in this thread. You might be swayed one way or the other by reading through them. I don't think any new opinions will help with the decision. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And when the decision is "no".....I suggest to watch "A New Hope" (again) which pulls the decision-maker back into the rollercoaster of "feelings". Beside that, I really like this beast...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciglione Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 I think this set is really bad and worthless. I bought three of them a while back just to burn them in some kind of ritual. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still on the fence with this one, but I am "told" I should ass this big brown box to my investments.

fossilrock Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) As someone that has built, or been a part of building just about every worthwhile star wars set from the last 5 years, this one ranks first in my book as one of the most satisfying builds. I know i'm not the only one that shares that opinion. Is it as sexy as the Slave 1? No. Is it a cooler build with a lot more interesting features.. Heck yes. To me, this is everything a large scale UCS set should strive to be. On the same token, i'm not going crazy on these as an investment and will just add a couple to my stock, but I expect it should do very well if you hold it past 2 years.

emazers Posted June 30, 2016 Share Posted June 30, 2016 If you don't have any I would suggest getting at least a few, as You will never see a large $300 Sandcrawler again, so if you have the money get them, I have plenty of them, got them all at the Lego stores and all beautiful Boxes.

jaisonline Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 75059 is among Lego's most satisfying complex builds out there. Then throw in 1) the Sandcrawler is sorta iconic and 2) Jawas have a cult following. 10144 also performed like a champ until 75059 pics leaked. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozei Posted July 25, 2016 Share Posted July 25, 2016 Not a deal yet, but saw a UCS Sandcrawler top shelf in a WM at rrp last week. Maybe I will harpoon a $12 white whale some day too! 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I will harpoon a $12 white whale some day too! I would most certainly keep an eye on that. Nobody that shops in store at Walmart is looking to drop $300 on a Lego set, so it should be reduced at some point in time. It could have possibly been an online return. Try scanning it. It may already be reduced and not tagged. 1 hour ago, Armor said: I can't keep buying ties. I all ready saw the full eye rotation on the first batch I ordered. She can't see the other half or I'm dead. Stay on target! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fossilrock Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 2 years and 3 months would be an adequate life cycle for such a stunningly well designed set.. Slowly, my grinch like heart just had a slight beat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 Well, I think Sandcrawlers will adequately fill the void left in the storage rooms of those who are dumping the Live Star. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lurker Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 TLG- looks like we got way to many SC in our warehouses time to notify the resellers, quick push the out of stock button (emergency we need warehouse space button). Once the resellers do their job we can activate the new SC disney box art. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
