Yeah, it's like a UCS build (and price point) but it isn't an "official" UCS set. Wonder why? Noticed after a bit of googling it's essentially an improved re-release of the Blockade Runner set they did for the 10th anniversary of Lego Star Wars, so I was thinking that might have had something to do with it. Shame they didn't go full anniversary set with the box/instructions, though.
(also, I am *rubbish* at applying stickers to curved surfaces
none of the red ones are parallel)
The proper UCS Blockade Runner they did back in the day looks so much bigger, too, even though they've got roughly the same number of pieces!
Definitely going to look into doing a stand for it. The carry handle is so strange! Crazy that you can hold the entire weight of the ship on a single axle.
