A few days- He is quite busy. But the manuals once sent were very quick and well packaged. An amazingly well put together instruction book. Quote

It has already been a few days. Hi Slawars, I apologize for the delay but I was in London until today and this week I'm in Verona at the fair (MEI 2019). From Monday I will reply to all the emails.

Any other sets worth buying neforehand? I recommend the purchase of an official 75179 set because you can recover about 300/350 parts and the two minifigures. For the other parts I suggest you buy some new pieces (the most common ones) directly from the LEGO website (pick a brick service) and the rest from bricklink. Remember that all the red pieces can be replaced with any color because they will not be visible.

Just wondering if anyone has any information, or if they know if it will ship to the U.S.? I have Mirko's amazing instructions, #244, and I am close to collecting all the parts to finally start building this beauty. I still am amazed everyday looking at his U-Wing on my shelf, I can only imagine what these will look like together. I think the LYGOD store will open in a few days. Remember, however, that you can mount the kit even after building the ship. Just remove some panels. Quote
AfolFree Posted March 10, 2019 Posted March 10, 2019 Bricklinker feedback if anyone is interested : Around 13% of the part list is covered by 75179, including most of the printed parts and minifigs, so make sure you get one :) I got mine for ~50€ I got another 16% from Bricks and Pieces (France) ~100€ The rest came down to around 110€ without shipping from bricklink So, including instructions, the entire ship will cost me approximatly 350€. Not too bad for over 3k pieces. Quote

AfolFree Posted March 13, 2019 Posted March 13, 2019 The lygod store is now open... ... But there a no parts in inventory @StarBricks Do you think the lighting system for your B-Project will be available at the same time as the TS-Project one ? Can't wait :D Quote

Can't wait :D @AfolFreeThe LYGOD bricklink store was recently created and is the first sales experience through this portal. Lygod is slowly starting to gain experience. You'll see that other lighting kits will be uploaded soon. Quote

Can't wait :D I managed to place an order minutes after LYGOD opened their store. This was on March 11 and there were 5 kits available at the time of purchase. There is a little snag with the invoice still, but I'm just waiting on LYGOD to clear it up. Hopefully everything works out fine and more kits go back in stock soon. Quote
bricksmarlin Posted March 14, 2019 Posted March 14, 2019 (edited) At the weekend, I finally had time to build Mirko's incredible Tie Silencer! At first, however, I had only built all the sections without putting the model together! But today I finished the model! So thanks again Mirko, it's a beauty and it was a real pleasure to build the model! The construction of the ship, the instructions, everything is wonderfully made! Just awesome! Here are pictures from the assembly!

Britbuilder_15 Posted April 10, 2019 Posted April 10, 2019 is there a final date for when you won't be accepting applications for the MOC Mirko? I am having a little bit of trouble sourcing money for the parts and don't wanna miss out on an awesome creation like this! Quote

I managed to find the store, and have been checking back regularly, but it always shows nothing for sale? Quote
gottabekd Posted April 16, 2019 Posted April 16, 2019 Still awaiting a response to my email to Mirko. Inquiring about instruction cost and shipping. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Quote

ic3cold Posted April 18, 2019 Posted April 18, 2019 Wow crazy. $110+ to order this and have it shipped to Canada. The priority shipping is more than the unit itself ? Quote

Sometimes the packages arrive in 24/48 hours .. maximum 3/5 days. I also invite you to reflect on the fact that you purchase a physical manual complete with pre-cut laser stickers and tile with numbered serigraphy. Thanks anyway for your interest. Quote

Totally worth it to be honest! Shipping was super fast (2 days to California), the best instruction manual I've ever seen that includes a custom imprinted lego tile. Quote

Received mine in 2 business days to California for each of the manual when I've ordered them separately (both SB00101 & SB00201) with zero damage. These manuals are on par with or exceed most of the official LEGO instructions Comes with pre-cut decals/stickers and printed individual assigned unique numbered tile. Eagerly awaiting on the release of SB00301! Quote

StarBricks, your shipping is fine. Sorry for the confusion, as you know I have both your manuals and will get the 3rd one. I was referring to the lighting unit shipping from Lygod. Sent a message to them about cheaper options but have not heard back yet. Quote

Today I got a refund, with no explanation. The lighting unit is definitely pricey, maybe I will need to find my own solution instead of getting the lygod system. May not fit as perfect, but will save some money! Quote
