It looks absolutely fantastic. Looks like lots of detail.
If the price truly is on par with the UCS Falcon, it might be a stretch. I'll have to see it built.

If its tan (which I doubt) its a must buy. If its white, its a maybe buy. I'm hoping the price won't be too high.

LEGO just keeps making bigger and bigger. It won't be long till there's a $1,000 set! It looks okay by my standards, though I'm not a big fan of sculptures. It looks white to me, though I'll hold off on most of my comments until more pictures come out.

Oh man this set would be the gem of my collection. But at 5922 pieces I can't expect anything lower than $500, money that can buy me every new clone wars set.

I agree that it most likely won't be cheap. Wow, it would be so cool for my "Maharaja" figures. I need to buy more lottery tickets...

From one of the comments left at Brothers-Brick:
Hi all,

That's not horrible for ~6000 pieces.

That's a pretty amazing looking set.
P.S. If you need help making MOCs, making posts, or don't know what to do next, please, let me know! I'm here to help!

This is definitely continuing the trend of massive, extravagant sets. It certainly is designed very well. I'm almost certainly not going to get it, though, because of the hefty price tag and the lack of interest that I have in sculptures.

Since there are already several replies in the other thread, further discussion of this new set should go here.
Well that's hardly fair. Your post isn't even in the right forum...

I can see where this is going. LEGO is selling us our very own opportunity to build an official Miniland in our basements, attics, or garages.
