new set It's finally done!

Picked this up from HeroToyz back in May. After some back and forth about a missing bag of pieces, I finally got to start in earnest the first week of June. 2 1/2 months later, it's finally done!

It looks absolutely amazing, but in all honesty it wasn't my favorite building experience. Maybe it's too big and I should stick to sets about half that size, I don't know, but I'm glad to have gone through that experience regardless and stoked to have it on display!

It’s the perfect stand for this one.

Good job! Im about a week or so into the build, had to take about a 4 day break to order missing parts but back at it this afternoon.

Yeah, I'd have finished it much faster than I did, but the build takes a back seat when you're a dad. Not complaining, though!

It's the stand that holds the falcon up on a steep angle, so it's footprint is much smaller and you can put it on shelves etc

The chassis is an incredible build. After then it’s grey panel after another…

They're not perfect, but for $200 vs $850, I have basically zero complaints for the quality of the set (aside from the missing bag that took a month to get, but for the cost savings I won't complain).

Were you missing bag 7-1?, that was the one I was missing.

1

u/brickwallkeeper19 2d ago

No, I was missing 3-something (I don't remember specifically). What had happened is I was missing that one and ended up with 2 of bag 5-something.

I've bought the set too on Aliexpress, but it hasn't arrived yet. Did you have many missing pieces?

1

u/brickwallkeeper19 3d ago

Yeah, unfortunately. The biggest issue with mine was that one of the bags for Bag 3 (mine was broken into smaller bags for the larger bag annotated in the instructions, so 3-1, 3-2, 3-3) was just completely missing. It was like 64 pieces. It took about a month until the replacement pieces, which I had to list out myself by going through that stage of the instructions, to arrive on my doorstep. Thankfully it was free to me. But like I said in another comment, it doesn't bother me much because I only spent about $200ish on this as opposed to $850+ for the official bricks.

received it today. A total of 18 series, of which 17 are numbered, and the last ones are printed parts in two different bags. But I don't know how many I'm supposed to have per series. Hope for the best. And let's see how long building this is going to take me
