As I said earlier. They give you 1 cent of leeway. So the A-frame at 179.99 works. Pretty sure this has been posted many times before. I think I learned it here, as well.

OK a couple of things. First, I wouldn't build an SSBN because would you rather be the hunter or the prey? Exactly. Also that is a super small model. I could launch that for "DSRV" missions I suppose :)

To answer the windshield question, it's becuase the Russians are a bunch of lightweights

There are a couple of windows on US submarines, btw. It's one of those "trick" qualification questions you get asked. Window in the hatch to the engine room, window on the washing machine, etc.


edit: upon further review that cutout is pretty detailed at least

Looks like we are getting a new UCS X-Wing. Promobricks leaked it. 1949 pieces with Luke with dual molded legs and arm printing and R2 for $240. I think I'm going to save up for this one since I don't have the old one.

I do like the old one but I'm curious what they can do with all the molds and 400ish more pieces. Makes sense as one to rerelease periodically, like they do with the non-ucs x-wings.

I legit thought the USC X-Wing was either still available or just retired, but I'm apparently confusing it with one of the million small to mid-scale ones that got popped out over the last like 5 years

I hate the way the engines look on the xwings in the minifig scale ones, that use the car fenders/mudguards. It sticks out like a sore thumb

Best looking xwing imo is microfighter

This will be great. I bought an old version of the UCS Red 5 off a goon and the Postal Service destroyed it and lost half the bags in transit. At least they know they screwed up so making a claim was pretty painless to get a refund out of the Postal Service. But my UCS X-Wing is a collage of “official” and Bricklinked parts with missing stickers.

$240 for the UCS X-Wing feels like so much, really feeling these price increases. Feels hard to justify that when the GotG ship exists, is almost the same piece count, and costs $80 less. I still haven't convinced myself to bite the bullet on the UCS A-Wing.

Sorry, I think I'm coming off ruder than I'm intending to be.

You basically already have a blocky submarine built, with cut-aways. It's even got smooth sides.
You could build a round shell for it and slide your submarine in. This would give you freedom with displays and cut-outs since you have these kinda C-clamps you could position for maximum postiong. Or that's the idea.

I build LEGO to deal with anxiety. So I'm kinda confused by all this. It's the only thing I've found that puts me in that mental state other than surfing. Surfing is clearly better but LEGO is a bit easier to do when you live far from the ocean.

E: and I deal with the anxiety of spending too much $ on LEGO by telling myself that I can always resell the stuff later to get my $$ back. Or most of it. Or even more in some cases.
