Let’s talk Lego!

man, as someone who likes to buy and build the speed champions line, i am not too excited about 10 new relatively same-y f1 vehicles.
 
My latest build set, I love all the mini figs that came with the sail barge. Fun, challenging build. Especially as the instructions had a printing error, so I got steps 41-56 repeated and then the book skipped to step 72. (Happily Lego has all the manuals online)

And Leia in the infamous outfit

And the matching Sarlac set.

True story, when I sold my condo several years ago I had the Lego UCS Red Five X-Wing on display in my place. The guy who put the offer in wrote the X-Wing into the sale offer. I wanted to tell him to go fuck himself but my wife wouldn't let me because we were in a big hurry to sell. So that motherfucker got my X-Wing. But I took all the spare parts and the manual so fuck him.

Anyhow I just rebuilt it from a new in box set I bought...

Screw you condo guy, I got my X-Wing back.
 
And not for nothin' but although I know the new version is more screen accurate I actually prefer the sleeker look of this earlier UCS model.

I have the new one and kind of agree with you. The scale of the astromech is comically off on the new set.
