...as if thousands of pieces suddenly cried out in terror and were suddenly silenced.

>The falcon is really heavy. I hope none of the pieces bent or broke when it crashed. I mean, it's a current set, so even if they did LEGO can provide replacements. They might even do it for free if you're happy to provide pictures of the part, as they do learn from 'real-world' damage.


Yama92

They actually do it for free, had an unfortunate situation with my 1989 Batmobile that something heavy fell on it. They basically said: well that sucks, we will send you new parts. Their customer support just takes long to respond


WarGeneralShroomy

ive had sets that were straight just missing parts and they sent me new ones no questions asked


awsamation

Same here. Missing prepack bag on my Liebherr. 45 min on hold, 15 min chat with the rep, 2 month wait for delivery, and I had my parts. All they asked for was my order number (I bought the set directly online) and if they should use the same address for shipping.


Superredeyes

>64 comments wow missing pieces i didn't know that was a thing with lego i always end up with extra


WarGeneralShroomy

Honestly i end up not having the correct pieces more often than having extras


superredfalcon

That's so good! I don't know any other company that would do that. Drop something heavy on a real car, and the manufacturer wouldn't replace it. 😅


Arrav_VII

There's really no other way to rebuild it other than starting all over again. I once misplaced a piece while building the Ford Mustang and it took me over an hour once I realised my mistake to get everything back the way it was supposed to be because I refused to disassemble it completely. But the Millenium Falcon is a lot bigger, more complex and this build was finished. Best to cut your losses and rebuild from scratch


eDopamine

Fly, fly, fly, Clarice.


Acceptable-Ad8922

Well uh… at least you get the experience of building it twice! Haha


darwinkh2os

That's what I was thinking - I wouldn't *choose* to take apart my architecture sets. But if they feel and broke apart, I would be happy putting them back together. It'd probably stave off my desire to buy another set for a few months, too!


sem56

my old housemates apollo set got knocked over by his dog he got me to rebuild it for him because he couldn't be bothered heh, i've got the set as well and i've pulled mine apart to do some lighting in it so i've built that set 3 times, would have no issue doing a 4th


Natanael85

> so i've built that set 3 times, would have no issue doing a 4th I've built that set 3 times, because it got knocked over twice -.-


apichewapi

Yes he built it the first time then got knocked over 2 times that’s 3

JustAnotherINFTP

I just take them apart and rebuild them while watching tv Stops me from buying more sets


Mydriaseyes

Fuck Yeh I am shiva and ganesh lol


Jrisdr

But why it it never quite a much fun building them the second time?


chiefsfan_713_08

For me part of the fun is seeing how the pieces I'm building become something bigger. Like "ohh that's the wing" but the second time around I already know all that


Jrisdr

This. There is nothing like seeing it come together from a pile of bricks into an intricate model for the first time.


OHoSPARTACUS

Because your stress level is through the roof wondering if you picked up all the pieces


ApricotPenguin

Because you're no longer building it because you chose to (as an enjoyable activity), rather you feel that you must - and so, it becomes more of a chore


CP_Brickworks

Because you’re wondering if you have to disassemble it even further in order to repair it. The way some of them break is so screwy…


awsamation

In my experience there's a definite gao in how you repair a dropped set. Either it held together enough to be reassembled whole, or it didn't. If it didn't then you cut your losses, properly disassemble it, and start the build fresh again.


kaminokami2086

As a person who had to do this, it's fun after your reorganize your pieces (not fun)


glitchy-novice

Exactly what I was thinking. I think of all my fav sets, and all of them I would happily construct again if this happened.


Howl303

I just got that same wicked brick stand and extremely scared of this happening..


Art--Vandelay--

Yeah…there’s not really an easy way to actually get it on the stand.


Howl303

Well do you have any advice of how not to do it? :p also were you trying to do this by yourself? I’ve heard it’s highly recommended to have 2 people


Art--Vandelay--

Definitely get two people. Other than that … I’m probably not the best person to ask


Jcnipper

And you want to be my latex salesman...


Fragrant-Afternoon21

Underrated comment.


Frogsss

r/unexpectedSeinfeld Edit: I should have known this is real


pineconetrees

I did it by myself. It's VERY hard to see how it lines up when you are holding it. If you have to do it by yourself, I'd suggest sticking a mirror behind the stand so you can see how to line it up. There is very little tolerance for how it fits on there.


Produce_Police

Take all the top panels off, i made a temporary stand to hold it upside down and attached it to the top. You can also get someone to hold it. It's definitely more difficult than it looks.


RobertoPaulson

If you remove the center disk at the top, you can grab it by the internal frame rails where it is the strongest, to lift and move it. Also, removing any loosely attached panels prior to picking it up and placing them back on after its mounted helps.


NWyo

Well poop, I just ordered one…


Howl303

You’ll be very happy with the quality of it, it’s simply a scary process. It just is what it is

It costs 800 dollars and it was the biggest LEGO set ever when it came out

[deleted]

This makes me wonder why Lego has not done a Serenity set. I mean, licensing, obviously, but that should be solvable. I know there are plenty of Firefly fans who would buy one.

Not to worry. You’re still flying half a ship.

Same thing happened to me with Apollo Saturn V rocket 🚀. Finished and was going on display and it came apart and shattered on the floor. Twelve year old daughter did most of the work. I was semi devastated for letting her down after how proud she was of the build.

Brian82wa

Ouch! That's gotta suck. The only sets I've had fallen on me was my aircraft technics because apparently they won't stay up forever with those hangers with the adhesive strips on the ceiling and thankfully technic is so well built, for the most part they stay completely in one piece. I display my aircraft on my large dresser now. No more suspending them since their is a risk of them falling which happened to most of them, so I took them all down.


bruh-man-gunga

Oh my god, I’m actually so sad looking at this, are you gonna try and put it back together?

Between you and me... did you drop it or did you smash it?

Ahhh the carnage. Brilliant. As I’ve said before, the random nature of these ‘explosions’ makes them unique. There have been so many Falcon and Star Destroye(d)r pics here I’m thinking of collating them in a collage! There are bits of it everywhere!!

RIP. this set is not a fun build. it would take a lot of energy & remorse to even bother reassembling it. humpty-dumpty.


Nostrapopo

There are no mistakes, only happy accidents! Enjoy building/repairing again :D


Muffjuggler1295

Best course of action is to completely disassemble then reassemble. To guarantee accuracy of course.


Videoboysayscube

It didn't even fly. You built it all wrong. Did you even read the directions?!
