Lobot Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 I've just ordered the bits for this from bricklink (I'm awaiting the final order now) so I'm interested in these comments. I can see that, since I'll be building it with the kids, I'll have to plan in plenty of breaks and do lots of parallel building to keep us all from getting bored! It's quite fun to build, and I doubt that you'll get bored with it! However, it is very 'delicate' at several points during the construction, and when you start to attach the lower exterior sections it gets really unbalanced (I resorted to pushing it against a convenient wall to stop it falling over!). Also, watch out for the two identical 'unfinished' sections, as they aren't that stable and I ended up having to re-build one of them after I'd picked it up to move it and it quickly dis-assembled itself across my floor! And, finally, the attachment of them to the main frame is best described as 'challenging' (especially the lower one); take your time and plan each movement before you attempt to attach it! Quote
Werlu Ulcur Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Though it's an impressive set, and an UCS, this is one set that really doesn't float my boat . Quote

I'll make sure that I'm the person doing the assembly of the big pieces, and I'll do it very carefully! Quote
