    Re: Newest UCS set... —Jon Palmer
   Ok this is just so damn cool. Yes I know many will think this is way too expensive but it looks like it literally contains a collection's worth of gray. IMO gray is the foundation color for sooooooo many MOCs covering just about every theme I can (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)
   
        Re: Newest UCS set... —Gil Shaw
     Rent? Phah! Mortage? Phah! I'll live in the box and eat the plastic bags. Saw this and first thought was: 'Is there any way I could earn a few hundred bucks above my salary to justify the purchase?' I totally agree....for the parts alone it's (...)

     (...) At 3,000 pieces, it's only 9 cents a piece (at least at the introductory price). And I think it was actually "over 3,000 bricks". -Marc Nelson Jr. (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)

     (...) 3,104 pieces per lego.com/starwars $270 / 3,104 = $0.0870 per piece - Bob (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)

     This is so great! I'll have to start saving today. No holiday this year I'm afraid, but Jon is absolutely right. With the pieces from this beauty you can build any capital ship you dream of, the coolest castle or the biggest... uhm... Star (...) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)

     Somebody IS going to see this, buy 10, and make a Super Star Destroyer (adding a few more pieces.) (22 years ago, 23-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)

         Re: Newest UCS set... —Lindsay Frederick Braun
     (...) I don't know, whoever it is would need to have an absolute *ton* of grey and dark grey already lying around...hmmm, it's a great mystery, it is it is...

         Re: Newest UCS set... —Mark Chittenden
      Odd, in my (many times replayed) copies of The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi, the SSD appeared to be blue where the SD's were gray... (...) (22 years ago, 25-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: Newest UCS set... —Jonathan Mizner
     (...) Better start collecting light gray, and one hell of a lot of click hinges. If I recall, the main hull of the SSD would be light gray, with a dark gray superstructure. Over at FBTB I believe one person is making a small replica of the SSD (<1 (...) (22 years ago, 26-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)
    
         Re: Newest UCS set... —Mike Petrucelli
     (...) 10-foot? 4 meters? Huh? In order to be to scale with the UCS Star Destroyer the SSD would have to be about 34 feet (roughly 10 and a half meters) long. And just for kicks... The Death Star 1 would have about a 289 foot (roughly 94 meter) (...) (22 years ago, 28-Sep-02, to lugnet.starwars)
