Star Wars UCS Imperial Shuttle 10212

Lego fan sites and forums are all abuzz about the SW UCS Imperial Shuttle 10212 & I decided to join in the buzz…

Video of interview with the set designer first, followed by TLG’s official set description and then the pics (cos there are a lot of pics!).  Wonder how much it’ll cost when it arrives in Singapore? I’m guessing S$499?  Or we could get lucky and it’ll be S$399.  At S$399 it’ll fly off local shelves and at S$499… actually, given how hardcore SW fans are, it’s hard to predict. 😛

Do refer to my next post for more info on this set (background on AFOL who helped with the set design and actual SW ship pics).
