UCS Grevious pic (10186)

[Quarryman]

And he's a fun build, even though we were a bit stressed (see the Legoworld Oslo topic in the "Other Events" forum)

Not too fond of PT in general though, so I would probably never have bought this. But getting it for free is quite okay

You got it for FREE?! How did that come? Then I'll take one, too

The chest of grevious seems a bit "open", I thing because in the shop at home pic looks closer but is still a very cool statue. Thanks for the pics Hotshot .

Details in the Legoworld Oslo topic; short version: fast-building competition of Grievous here at Legoworld Oslo, three persons on each team, we won, and got one each.

Probably because he hasn't closed the grey part properly.

It seems like I'm the only one that have one of this set so far (except for my two comrades from the contest that got their in the post Friday)?

Have not seen much picture of this set on Brickshelf either. So I desided to put out a few pictures at: http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=318281 (when moderated).

Is there any particular view you want? I can try to provide it for you guys.

I'm not that much into SW related stuff, but some of the models are pretty cool. And as a SciFi fan I also love the SW films.

A quick review from me about the set:

I saw it for the first time when I sat on stage ready to build it in the Norway-Sweden quick building contest at LEGO World Norway 2008. On front of the box it looks pretty cool.

We was tre persons on each team, but only two part instruction set, so we desided that one guy start with the first instruction (me) and one start with the other, the third guy was providing us with parts for each step and helped us builders to find parts. That went pretty well most of the part until it was time for the two part beeing connected. Then It was being a bit crowded on the model and it is a bit "flimsy" and not very sturdy designed. But it IS a display model, and not designed to be played with. There are many small parts that just barly sits on...

Each of the four arms are diffrent and each of the laser swords are diffrent so there was not much copying...

It was a bit hard in the end to get all thing to stay on as there was 6 hands all over the model :)

Well, actually it was I that finished the last steps of assembly.

I was sitting beside the table and could see straight trough the model and saw that the Swedish team was at the same step as we most of the time!

It was a fun build, and the Norwegian team won with about 30-40 seconds I think. We finished at 1 hour 20 minutes and 13 seconds :)

We was thrown off a bit at the last step that where a "alternative" where the model only has two arms. And when we was at the last step an was going to attach the two last items I realized that we actually was finished building the set a few step earlier :D

I got to take the model back home with me. And now it sits on display here. Not sure for how long time, as I dont have that much space to have models for display only.
