    When I saw the 10179, I was very tempted but at £300 I thought it too much. Stupid! Stupid! Stupid! [If you don'y know which kit that is then I don't care]

    Seems like that would have been an excellent investment: LEGO STAR WARS #10179 UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON - 1st edition, factory sealed in box[^], and some are asking a lot more ...

            "The machines use very accurate molds -- their precision tolerance is as little as 0.002 millimeters." Just an injection plastic toy !!! Ha! ;P

                Lego is going to (or maybe already has) release a new UCS version of the X-Wing : http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Red-Five-X-wing-Starfighter-10240[^]. I am very tempted. I have been looking for years for an affordable 7191[^], but this is quite impossible (most of them for sale are in the US, and nobody in the US is willing to ship outside the US. Looks like your snail mail is either very expensive, or completely rubbish). The new one has still some problems (the first and most obvious being that it is mostly white instead of grey), but it is shiny. Very very shiny.

                Or both. I recently purchased an engagement ring and the one I found is from a jeweler in Tokyo. To send a 400 gram* package worth almost $3000, from Tokyo to Madison, WI took 3 days and cost a grand total of $12, guaranteed delivery date and required signature, with insurance. And that 3 days included getting through customs. I am not sure I can get a letter across town with that list of requirements for less than $20 in 3 days guaranteed. And the US service is going bankrupt! * The package weight was listed at 400 grams, I don't think it actually weighed that much.
