Anyone built the Sandcrawler?
Is it better to get the older set than the newest one?
Any leads on a good price... I'd prefer un-built and sealed as building is the fun.

 

[robpmarsh]

Have the most recent release but not got the UCS one (yet)

Has a lot of technic parts but was a decent build

I was looking at the UCS one...
Long shot, but does the newer one fit in the Billy Bookcases? I'm devoting one case to Lego (I think) and so have the build-able figures; which many hate, but I love.. the Biker Scout is outstanding. I also have the Yoda/Dagobah playset, an old version of Slave-1, Han Speeder and an At-At so far. I have a spare shelf or two, and this looks like quite a beast of a build to keep me entertained (while I recover from an upcoming Op), but I want to have a home for it after, unlike the death star that moves around the house like a hobo...

Not sure if this is any help Steve? It has the dimensions listed.

These do often crop up on FB for sale quite regularly, but have noticed a large price rise on these over the last six months.
I assume that you've looked at eBay and Bricklink?
I hope the op goes well and you enjoy the build as and when you get a Sand crawler.

 

[Mr-shifter]

I have the ucs sandcrawler, in a billy bookcase.

I got it just after retirement and Simon did me a solid, letting me have it for rrp.

It's a great build. It's a big set as well, 3.3k pieces.

What are they going for now on the secondary market?

 

[sith-smith]

I have the sandcrawler still to build.

Was considering getting a few of the Billy book cases for display some star wars and lego pieces.

Do they have much depth? Would be nice to display some of the modular buildings on there

 

[robpmarsh]

Today's arrival ...OT Falcon

 

[user 5830]

I popped on the cheaper standard Sandcrawler in the end, still looks like a decent build and will occupy some of y time as well as making a good display piece. I'll update when built.

 

[robpmarsh]

you mean the lighting kits for specific sets?

just look on eBay...loads there

[monkey_roo]

Buy 1 you have to buy all 5, if only for the exclusive minifigs. it's the OCD collector in me

Time will tell though! :lol:

New Lego day... and a large purchase made. All 5 20th anniversary sets, both resistance sets and steamboat willy....
Also completed my custom set of shadows of the empire figures. Some are custom print jobs and others are made from mixing official parts. Overall think these look good.

 

[robpmarsh]

Nice customs....especially the Mara Jade!

Picked up the 20th Anniversary Slave 1.......now need the UCS and 1st release for my collection!

Tantive 4 to buy next week
Anyway - little display, the five 20th anniversary figures next to their originals...

 

[Mini99]

Up to 20% off Star Wars Lego at Smyths Toys.

May the forth Lego shopping done - Tantive 4 is awesome...

Anyway before building anything big I wanted to find a way to combine Malibu mansion and Hall of armour sets, but keeping the original scale of the mansion set (of it gets out of control size and cost wise....)

Happy with the outcome...

I would be intrested in your thoughts on Tantive 4, I'm divided on this set.

 

[monkey_roo]

It might be a while before I build it due to storage space but had a good look at it in the store and for me it is a great looking set.

It has some nice play features (escape pods and flight deck and central area). The scale is big so the shop is substantive . The rear profile is great and the engine section is lovely, there is a lot of detail everywhere.

The figures are lovely - as normal.

Took this photo in store.

 

[monkey_roo]

Also the freebie this weekend is excellent...
