How can I not get that? That’ll be my next Lego purchase, Art of the Sith can wait. Sure the yellow block portion will be a little annoying to build but it’ll look amazing once it’s all together.

Bag 3 of UCS was the most fiddly so far. Because the frame is mostly done you had to assemble rooms separately and then line them up in 3 dimensions with technic bracket pieces to bolt them to the ship.

Always comforting when the cross-section in the instruction manual bares absolutely no similarity to what you've actually built. :dread:

Reality:

I don't even know what the cross-section is supposed to be of.

It's making sure that vertical bar is attached to the end hole of that black block, which it looks like you've done.

Odd, Pretty sure that's supposed to be the front of the model. Is your photo of the front?

ah, ignore, what he said ^^

Worse part for me was when I had to fit the slanted bits underneath the model at the front. Too multiple attempts and ended up breaking the model mutliple times. Still not 100% mine is connected correctly but seems to just about hold together so far.

So the vertical bar is already attached to the black block, it's this whole big flat grey section I had to slide in there and fix with those four curved grey pieces. I've pushed the grey section to the black block too so it's affixed at the front and back but it doesn't match the picture.

Just going to muddle along and hope it doesn't screw me over later.

It will cause you an issue if not correct. Can you take a photo from the same angle as the instuction diagram?

I can't work out what angle that cross-section is supposed to be from. It would seemingly be side-on but the colours of the lego don't match. The picture has a long black bar right above the ramp and below a dark grey bar but there's nothing like that on that side.

Right at the front of your build.Looks like you have mounted it not at the front but somewhere towards the middle.

Don't worry, I'm sure it will be fine!

Re the Mario ? Block, is the 1st of October when orders go live? Or will it be available to order before and they’ll just start getting sent out from the 1st?

It's a bit weird, what Lego has become, isn't it?

Sorry mate, I'm not getting it. The front looks like the manual to me.

So looks like this is a bit different to the original Tumbler.

The original didn't have a window on the central part beneath the windscreen, and didn't have the lil stand for the Tumbler either.

Ah OK, I agree. So which bit is causing the concern?
