Finally, after 6 months of waiting, I got it: my new lego set, the Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon™!. I fetched it the other day in Paris, put it in a suitcase and flew back to Trondheim...
For the curious, some pictures of the box and the 300p. manual are at techeblog.com. I brought back only the small plastic bags, and spent 3h. opening them and sort the pieces on the table of my livinglego room. Here's the result, 5195 pieces:
I started the building, may the force be with me!!! I'll update the status regularly (well, at least it's something to tell on my blog for a month!).
