My fiance has just accepted that her porcelain dishes and bowls are Lego containers whenever I'm building a new set.

Good for you.

...but we're getting just a little off topic here...and respect to your fiance gotoAndLego

So is no one going to review the set?

If people don't mind waiting till I get paid in a week or so I'll try to get a review up.

[Anio]

I ordered mine in November, 26th.

I still haven't received it.

Same, I ordered mine on the 25th, although they did not ship it till the 1st. I'll probably receive it next week.

Wha- ?????

It's still November 13.

[Brickus]

Wha- ?????

It's still November 13.

I meant October of course, and I'm pretty sure that is what Anio meant.

Oops, yeah, sorry for the mistake.

Well. Anyway, I get my copy this morning. I built it in about 2 hours.

My opinion :

I REALLY enjoyed building this set. Much better than any other UCS. It has many colored parts and we do not spent time searching the parts in the box (even if we do not use the number of the bag ; that's my case : I put all the parts in the box).

Eventually, the model is much bigger than what I expected.

So, I'm very happy with this model.

That's what I initially thought, but the spelling differences of October and November are so different that I thought you might know something I didn't.

[NFreak007]

I really like the look of this set! It's just a shame I don't have £95 to spare at the moment, but I'll get it eventually!

I am interested that everyone seems to say that it's bigger than they expected. If it isn't too much trouble could someone do a side-by-side photo ot the UCS Jedia Starfighter and the 7143 Jedi Starfighter? I already have that one and I want to see how much bigger it is. Thanks!

Just finished building mine. Great set, pricey but great.

A minor gripe is that on the official pics the ship looks tilted, and I was curious to see how that was built. It wasn't. The pic is photoshopped. The ship is vey horizontal. But it can spin round and round and round...

Nothing new. It's like in the Temple of Doom set where Short Round is 'shopped into the mine cart, 'cause in reality you can only fit two minifigs per cart.

here you go:

[NFreak007]

Wow, that is bigger than I expected! Very impressive!

Thank you, gratefulnat!

[Brickdoctor]

I have the '02 JSF, and I have to say the UCS is actually smaller than I expected. I don't have the Eta-2 sets and was estimating by the size of that cockpit, so I guess that's where I went wrong.

[cavegod]

as far as i can tell it is 3 studs longer than mine, will know better when i have them side by side.

[Brickus]

Received mine today, and I must say I really enjoyed building it. It is a great looking set and looks good next to my other UCS sets.

[Mr Man]

Could someone do a review of this set please, A build review. I have the previous version and might get this if my budget stretches.

Same here. Gosh, people, the least you could do is take a couple pics!

[brickbuilder]

I havn't got the time for a review, but I will tell you it's an awesome set, and when you build it, it really feels like a $100 set. (although I got it for $130 in Canada )

[Ritz Brick]

So I saw this built in the Lego Store for $130 and just shook my head. The Lego Store guy said they've sold 4 since they got them in November

[kamigawa]

Lol, that's so funny, exactly what I had anticipated some pages ago

Let's hope TLC realises that consumers are not a bunch of wild, imbecile baboons, and this set is just horrendously overpriced.

[Anio]

this set is just horrendously overpriced.

I do not understand those who say that the 10215 is overpriced.

The price per part ratio is much more attractive on this set than on many other star wars models.

[kamigawa]

I will now link the complete parts/price ratio for the UCS sets.

THE BEGINNING, or THE UNSTABLE YEARS

7181 Tie Interceptor 703/100$ 7,03

7191 X-Wing 1300/150 8,66

10018 Darth Maul 1860/150 12,4

10019 Rebel Blockade Runner 1750/200 8,75

7194 Yoda 1075/100 10,75

THE ABSURD

10026 Naboo Starfighter 187/40 4,675 (I seriously hope they didn't justify its price with the "oooh, look at the Shiny" trick.)

THE STANDARD YEARS

10030 ISD 3100/300 10,33

10129 Snowspeeder 1460/130 11,23

10134 Y-Wing 1470/120 12,25

10143 Death Star II 3450/300 11,50

10147 AT-ST 1070/80 13,38

10175 TIE Advanced 1210/100 12,1

10179 Millennium Falcon 5200/500 10,4

10186 Grievous 1085/90 12,05

GETTIN' GREEDY

10188 Death Star 3803/400 9,5075

10195 AT-OT + Dropship 1758/250 7,03

10212 Lambda Shuttle 2500/260 9,615

HOLY CRAP

10215 Jedi Starfighter 676/100 6,76

You are right. Absolutely right. Obi wan's starfighter is not overpriced. Not in the slightest. I don't know how I came to this conclusions. Must have been a trick of the light.

[Anio]

What a clever message !

First fail : you don't even know how to calculate a price per part.

Price per part = price / part

Second fail : many of your prices are wrong (the 10030 for example)

Third fail : you do not compare the 10215 with the current models (I really don't care about the 10 year old models for such a comparison !).

So, the PPP of the 10215 : 100/676 = 0,1479

And here are some models which are currently for sale on s@h :

10198 : 170/1408 = 0,1207

6212 : 62/437 = 0,1488

7754 : 110/789 = 0,1394

8038 : 119/890 = 13,37

8087 : 53/304 = 0,1743

8097 : 95/573 = 0,1658

8129 : 100/815 = 0,1227

7752 : 62/385 = 0,1610

8036 : 40/259 = 0,1544

8095 : 55/454 = 0,1211

8098 : 150/1141 = 0,1315

8088 : 75/396 = 0,1894 (@%§#&§!)

8019 : 75/ 636 = 0,1179

(and just for fun, the absolute record of TLG : 8091 : 37/176 = 0,2102)

As you can see, the PPP of the 10215 is not really higher than the PPP of the other current models.
