    The 3 versions of the AT-TE. 4482 (2003), 7675 (2008), and 75019 (2013). I personally think 7675 is the best.

    As a bonus you get a picture of one of my dogs. She's a Shih Tzu in case you are wondering.

    Hope the put out more of the 75192 Millennium Falcon. At $800.00 retail that will be tough but may be doable. The detail is amazing. Really is a piece of art.

    Who would have thought an $800 Lego set would be so hard to get? I suggest you call your local Lego store and ask to be added to the wait list.

    Yeah, it's great but steep and the demand is crazy. I managed to get one of the four my Lego store had on release day, but a few of my friends are still trying to get a hold of one. Words fail me on how nice this one is for an official set. Where I'm going to put it also fails me.

    I heard they were currently available to VIP members only.

    How long did it take to build?
    Looks great, incredible detail!

    I timed it to about 12 hours 20 minutes, split over four days. That doesn't include going through the box and sorting the bags into their numbered modules. Probably about 13.5-14 hours with that included.

    Overall, I think it's fantastic. At some point I'm planning to rebuild it with some more structure to increase hull rigidity. It's a bit floppy as designed when you pick it up.

    @robssol It is VIP only currently but all you have to do is sign up to be a VIP. No cost at all. Then you start collecting VIP points.

    My wife knocked the kids 7965 Falcon off it's shelf sending it hurtling to the floor. Not quite Kessel Run fast but still made good time before flying apart in all directions. Been awhile since that happened, kid doesn't seem to have interest in rebuilding. I'm gonna take care of that this weekend. Wife felt terrible but I told her "hey its Legos! We get to have fun AGAIN!"
