I've had a couple of packages shipped via USPS that have gotten "stuck" in the past couple of weeks.  They sit for no apparent reason in one town or another for about 7 days before they get unstuck and start moving again.  I'm not sure if they've got semis full of packages that make it to a post office and get ignored for a week in a parking lot or what.  Glad I'm not having critical medicine shipped to me via USPS.

It seems anything sent via UPS, Fed Ex, or Amazon moves at a brisk pace.  USPS and any of the other lesser brands (SmartPost, etc.) seem to have really struggled lately.

My Amazon sets came a bit back now and the Pulse ones are on the way.  Part of me mulling two more sets cuz I’m stupid.

The exterior might look a little weird, but I'd say go for it.

I was just looking at the Tantive IV in the Incredible Cross-sections book...

that's going to be a hell of a lot of hallways!

What is your call on the scale of the ship in that book vs. the scale in TROS? I would say It is a the cross sections book has it as twice as big.

Mine showed up today.  Nice addition to the collection, although I'm not sure where I'm going to display it.  I might actually be different and set it up with Yoda, Obi-Wan and Bail Organa walking down the hallway.

It fits most shelves kinda nice...  I too am not sure how I’ll use them ultimately, or if I’ll maybe keep mixing it around.  I dunno.

Man that lack of a working holster sucks. 👀

Setting it up with just the one wall looks great on a shelf.  But setting it up as a corridor with the walls facing one another becomes a little challenging to display.  But some of the photography that I've seen of it set up that way is fantastic.  I have to figure out a way to display it like that, because unfortunately my shelves are only 12" deep.

I got a chance to open and set mine up last week, and it really is neat. Like you mentioned though, more than one could be a display problem. I picked up two of the Carbon Freeze sets (one full price, one discounted on Amazon), and haven’t even opened the second. Heck, I took the original down yesterday because I just don’t have a place for it right now.I like it, just challenging to display for me.

I did some modification to my two hallway sets to get them to fit within a Billy shelf. I plan on getting a couple more to use for temp setups and photos, but I'm glad I was able to mod these for my evergreen Rebels shelf. Kind of a nod to Home One.

Very cool.

What is the off-white thing that you set the hallways on top of to create the top level?
