Mine arrived this Morning, I pre ordered one when they first came out in Feb.
Not sure if I'm going to build this or not, time will tell.

Has anyone seen the Diagon Alley set, now that looks a brilliant set.

 

[theforceuk]

Yeah the Potter set looks good, not cheap though. Where did you order your one from?

 

[MrGudz]

I'm very tempted by it!!

 

[monkey_roo]

Yeah - ordered the Diagon Alley as well, it is sooo nice. But missing some key buildings, so while i wait for it to arrive i am MOCing up a Gringgotts Bank (it will take a while) and then next year i will do a Leaky Cauldron with 'magic wall' so i can bookend the street and do a full closed of scene.

 

[monkey_roo]

This is the WIP on the bank - nice shape, lots of colours to correct and then a base, roof and interior to do. Will take a while. I also wander, it was such an omission from the DA set that lego might release it as a stand alone building at some point...

That's great, and I suspect that your right, this street is going certainly expanded.

I really want to get the Mos Eisley set....just need to work out where to put it!

 

[Stubbs]

That mos Eisley set looks amazing. Stick a Luke's speeder along Side it and a few jawas would make a great diorama

:shock: Result.

 

[robpmarsh]

Was at recent Vectis auction.....only 1 other bidder, got it for £40 + fees

 

[robpmarsh]

Parts finally arrived to build this..... hopefully my boxed one from US will be here soon too.

 

[monkey_roo]

That looks awesome - trying to work out how to get one, parts order or suck it up with a US shipping order.

Go the Bricklink route.....it's cheaper!

You can get the sticker from: https://www.ultimatecollectorstickers.co.uk/product-page/lego-star-wars-ucs-moc-stickers-for-40th-anniversary-esb

Set inventory list at back of instructions here: https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/buildinginstructions/75294

Just use a standard Vader and Luke Bespin.....job done!

 

[monkey_roo]

Found that with a little time (typing each element number into the replacement parts form), the cheapest place to order the individual parts was from Lego itself - £27. Needed to add about another £10 from Brickowl and those stickers and that is all parts ordered except for the figures, which frankly can wait, right now they are looking a bit pricy... doubt that will change, but build the set first and then in a few weeks have a sniff around.

[theforceuk]

This is a great little set.

And my son has built the Razor Crest

 

[robpmarsh]

Nice...did enjoy building the Crest.

You buying Mos Eisley to go with Ben's Hut?
