With stuff like that, it can give you the option to leaving it open, mod it for display open. Like a cutaway. Some non Lego model builders do this and the gas and oil guys love those cutaway motors, etc. to see the inner workings.

@@CommanderOfTDSUCS means Ultimate Collector's Series. These sets are massive and very expensive, made up of vehicles in extreme detail. They are meant for display, not play. Think of the new Venator Class Star Destroyer. MBS stands for Master Builder's Series. These sets are huge play sets full of play functions and minifigures. Think of the Ewok Village and Cloud City. The starship collection is a series of mini UCS style ships. They're meant to be more affordable and have smaller ships in great detail but small enough that you can display them more easily on a desk.

In my opinion, this is a comparison of two sets with two different design criteria's. The 2024 falcon was designed for esthetics and display while the 2009 MIDI falcon was designed to play with and swoosh with the midi star destroyer; that's why the new falcon is more esthetically pleasing but less swooshable. I like how robust the 2009 midi scale sets are but I wish they had the esthetics of the 2024 midi sets.
@joeymesa49529 ай бұрын

The 2009 got a front boarding ramp - though i wish it was on the correct side, landing gears, bottom turret and pretty solid. Also i like the length of its mandibles compared to new one. Only downside imo are the stickers, though mine still hold up pretty well after all these years.

The model looks awesome, but I don't understand why the cockpit has a flat front. They should have used a "Plate, Round 2 x 2 with Rounded Bottom (Boat Stud)" (2654) which would have had the perfect curvature. It's not like LEGO® can't put prints on this element. They've done it before multiple times (for example a space hatch pattern for the Saturn V or a hamburger bun pattern or multiple eye patterns).

@STAG1625 ай бұрын
I just put one of these together, and having segmented bags really helps save a lot of searching for pieces. The build quality is pretty good, but like you say it's not rugged for "play" but more just for show. I found the sections which make the rounded parts of the ship to be rather flimsy and with noticeable gaps, but if you don't go looking for them it's ok. I also appreciated the angled stand as it gives the "I'm already flying" look to it. Not really a huge Lego afficionado, but I also couldn't afford the AU$2k for the larger sized model.

All Star Wars sets are overprice, we already know that. But I'm glad they at least didn't fill this one with stickers. However, these days, the stickers aren't infuriating me as much as the lack of quality on the bricks themselves. I just finished the 400€ Medieval Castle and the amount of bricks with very visible injection molde marks left by removing the pieces from the molde too fast in it were appalling. With the prices LEGO is charging, it's just unacceptable that the bricks come with all these blemishes.

For the Tantive IV I added Captain Antillies and for the 77904 Nebulon-B Frigate I added General Dodonna because he commanded one in the Rebels series. Getting the Invisible Hand soon and General Grievous will be added to the stand. My opinion! LEGO should have done the same!!!! But hey! "Only the best is good enough", apparently!?
