Wow - this truly is a very elaborate review with soo much detail and thoughts. Very well done. I personally bought this a few years back when it was on sale and so far I haven't gotten around to building it. But that can also be said for the new Death Star and the UCS Millenium Falcon. All 3 are stashed away in my attic I think this is a great set and interpretation on how an ISD can be done with LEGO.

MMCB?

It's been there all along 260 USD / 260 GBP as info'ed in the first post allready Slow down please. This discussion is getting tedious. And how would you know that TLG "stole" this design?

Yeah and it's already in the Star Wars Forum Index. I've deleted some of the links in the announcement and added a little description to each topic. How does it look and feel to you guys now?

It's a perfect fit. The armors have cutouts to ensure that the minifig heads sink in and fit perfectly. I've noticed no troubles with fitting. In fact they fit somewhat better than some official parts like TLG's recent crappy helmets - Rebels from Tantive IV & Endor Troops and for example the king's crown in Castle which has a habit of popping off or the whole Viking helmet incident a few years back? These customs are of very high quality and perhaps TLG ought to hire BrickTW to their design department? Well obviously the legs are a little locked in this particular armor as it's a lot lower than the minifig's waist. But it's a lot wider than it looks. I'll do some side view photos of a minifig in that armor and you'll see what I mean. (It's on my to-do-list) And yeah, I'm really getting to appreciate the work these customizers do. Perhaps I should consider doing a Medieval Eastern MOC instead of hanging around Star Wars all the time?

Looks like Luke and Vader both have chromed light-sabre hilts

Thanks guys for posting this. I've added the high resolution pictures to the 2010 Gallery. Speedlinks: (click the pics) Entire 2010 Gallary is HERE

Update FBTB just got some High Resolution pictures - check them in their Flickr or here EB members Xiaan & ny355145 have directed our eyes at gizmodo.com showing high resolution pictures of the 10212 UCS Imperial Shuttle (Click the picture to see more and comment)

Yeah that's what I thought as well. I am seriously considering to skip all pinned topics and just let them be accessible (?) through the announcement links.

And now it's time for this to meet EB's finest Customizers in the MCW.

Nice work. But you seriously need to downsize your signature.
