This set looks absolutely outstanding, especially in light of the cloud city slap in the face that Lego just delivered. I'm now actually considering picking this up.

Easy pass for me especially given the ridiculous price point (Chiron is 3600 pieces for the same price). Granted probably shouldn't compare directly to a technic set, but still. Overall looks clunky and unfinished, which at $350 is rather unforgivable.

Not what I was expecting tbh. But on the bright side looks like I won't be spending $350 this fall.

Just received my card today, Washington DC

18651: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?id=131335#T=C&C=11 Just remove the part from the build, save it as a copy, upload to bricklink then add it by hand, seems to work just fine, but for some reason it doesn't automatically recognize it.

you are correct, same thing on my Falcon, I didn't pay attention to it until you just pointed it out. Frankly I"m not entirely sure why those 2 pices are used there. Looking at the pictures of the falcons the radius of the gangway is the same all around. Perhaps different shade, but there shouldn't be an indent or w/e you wanna call it.

I just looked at my Slave I, it's been on the stand for about 15 months now. Everything seems to be in order, though I guess i'll add these parts in just to prevent it from drooping in the future.

Great, thanks for the LXF, I can surely use the space that putting it vertically will save :D

efferman were there any mods to the falcon itself other than taking out the landing legs or are the holes already in place and lined up? (I'm at work so can't look at my falcon this very second)

efferman did you secure the panels on the top somehow? I made the mistake of trying to look under the falcon last night and ended up spending an hour putting it back together

That's quite an impressive stand, I've been thinking of building something similar, though the weight is a bit of a concern to me.

If you could take pictures of the engine mod without the top panels that would be great, i'd like to replicate something similar but need a definitive part count as I most certainly don't have extras of them.

Does anyone know what the blue axle pins are for in steps 377 (2x) and 426? 2 of them are in the engine assembly and one in the forward section. The 4x2 beam they attach to is holding the top panels but the axle pins themselves seem to serve no purpose whatsoever or am I missing something?

i'm just happy i got my hands on one :D

Just fyi I managed to pick one up this morning (30 minutes ago) in Tyson's corner store in Washington DC. They got "a few" but couldn't give me a number due to their shipment just getting in, just fished one out for me. I expect other stores in the states will get some as well, should check with managers for their delivery dates. It's Monday/Thursday for me. I expect the other stores in the DC area got a few as well. There was a guy behind me picking up one, so I don't expect them to last. However people in the later time zones may get a chance to pick one up.
