It's the stand from iDisplayIt, I like their stands for the Venator and Star Destroyer - 45° display works so well. And the red is definitely darker than it looks, I had it under my bright Lego building desk light, it makes the mid reds look almost blood red. I think the official color for the red used with the Venator is "Dark Red" so yeah definitely the same as the red used in the Guard Ship.
The paradox is if they quadrupled the amount the detail it would actually have the thing looking so much better.
Had something annoying happen when trying to sell a used set on Ebay and need some advice.
I just had a buyer request a refund after receiving a set I sold, claiming it didn't look like the photos because I sent it deconstructed (the photos were fully constructed). I did not mention it would be deconstructed before sending it, because it seems to be an unspoken rule that sets are deconstructed before being sent (I did mention that there would be No Box and No Instructions). I've sold other sets with the same setup (pictures of the completed set, but sent deconstructed) with no complaints.
Is this 100% on me? Or do I have grounds to fight the return?

I mean no instructions and didn't say it would be deconstructed seems a bit on you. BUT I believe instructions can be found online for many sets. Maybe see if providing digital instructions may change their mind?
Why can't they do more like the Starry Night set? Looks like why I never care about the art sets.
Also where is that from? Not seeing it on any of the normal lego leaks stuff.
Not an unspoken rule, you gotta tell them you send deconstructed in the future.
It's weird they would want to return it over this, but oh well. Maybe they really hate building lego lol
I think it'd be best to just let them return it
I wish I cared more for big "model" builds, this Pantasy set looks amazing for car collectors.
Yes, all of those are prints (70 of them), reviews are very good obviously. ~2200 parts, about 100-120 bucks.
I'm amazed at Lego finally perfecting their method of reselling leftover stock parts in colors they can't possibly put into any set.

While this looks pretty cool, after the Maps set I will never do another "Art" piece.
I've done both the George Harrison and Spaceman art kits and as annoying as they are I'd kill for that Milky Way. It looks so damn nice and I love the colors.
There's a bunch of leak groups that aren't open to general use due to takedown requests. They usually trickle down within a week or so most times.

fuck yes Jang finally looking into non-Lego. Maybe it can finally pick up in the US as well, after EU has long seen the light.
You must be thinking of some other reviewer. Jang's not in the ambassador program AFAIK, and has reviewed other brands like cobi in the past.
100% right. I was distracted making bread and mixed him and Tiago up. My bad.
This looks cool, but will be a nightmare to build. Not a fan of the specific colors used here, but I don't hate it...
*shudders in world map*
I said the same thing, but still got The Wave. Looks cool, but hated the build.
The World Map build at least was slightly therapeutic and you could almost do it in a trance like state. It was just way too much of it...
This has been my thought, and as crazy as it would be is why this set would require 12,000+ pieces to reach the detail id need to want to display it
Based on my past experience with LEGO, I wouldn't do well with those art pieces because I'd want to make sure the text on every stud was lined up perfectly straight. It was bad enough doing those megabloks pokemon 2d arts, where you had to keep the square tiles straight with even spacing.
Was debating on those but this is probably enough convincing to avoid them, cheers.
Doing them was tedious, but at least they give you a little tool that helps to get them straight. I didn't find the building process on them to be enjoyable, but the end product is worth it. From a certain distance they look pretty fantastic, if you have any connection to the sprites from the games. I got all 4. But I wouldn't buy any more.
yeeeah I don't know. I like the colors, but, I mean, those are completely made-up anyway. It's literally just bags and bags of completely random tiny crap pieces for another 200 bucks, in colors suspiciously looking like leftover production that didn't sell. I'd bet you can get 90% of the parts of this for cents on bricklink, and this set will be at least 20-30% off in no time (and much more down the line).
Like, if y'all really gonna pay $199 for this, I don't know what to tell you next time anyone complains about LEGO's pricing lol
I generally get the appeal of the Art series and personally enjoyed building the Great Wave.
But that Milky Way looks neither fun to build nor does the end product look in any way appealing. Just looks like a mess of random pieces and colors.
