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. Quote

xxgatorzxx Posted February 28, 2017 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

Probably only the Millennium Falcon can top it. I don't even think the new Snowspeeder will. 2 Quote
brickwheatloaf Posted March 1, 2017 Posted March 1, 2017 (edited) i wanna get a couple in the 280 range. this guy is 235 but its really damaged. he said he'll take 240 for it next week if it doesn't sell so maybe i can get it with next weeks ebay bucks special.

Val-E Posted March 2, 2017 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

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
HandyHand Posted March 2, 2017 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
Val-E Posted March 2, 2017 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
Ed Mack Posted March 2, 2017 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...
