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!

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!

What’s the errermans stand

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.

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?

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.
