Bricklinking Set Experiences

prevere

^I bought one of those Belville flower pots last year for $18 to finish 7191. It was the only one on Bricklink. Now, there are 8 different lots with an average price of $40.

I imagine those will come down eventually as collector's flock to the new UCS X-Wing.

The great dilemma: at £2 each are they worth it (re: #10179)?
I spent a lot to buy the lbg mast rigging and the printed radar dish, but it is really hard to justify the £120 needed to buy them. I could probably afford most of the new UCS X-wing for that. Maybe at £1 each..

Guess I'll have content myself with a 99% correct MF. I think that some of the 1x1 plates w/vertical clips I have been sent are not of the correct kind as in orthodox version. Also I don't have the 6.6l bars and the cylindrical connectors without the slots. I won't be able to reach 10179 nirvana..

In the picture, side by side the new LBG version and the old light gray. Without good lighting it is really hard to tell the difference.

^if you follow the BL-inventory the 6l bars are fine since these are listed as "alternates"that came with some batches of the 10179!

AvengerDR: swap the LBG bases on your black levers for light grey bases to leave you with LBG base with L grey lever, looks much better. 6L are fine, but on a few fixings you won't have much bar overhang compared to the 6.6L.

Done! I now have several hybrid levers. They are even harder to tell apart.. I wonder whether all the LBG levers on sale are "authentic".

For the cockpit part you mean? Is that where they are needed, besides guns?
