Check what the neck looks like and if it's the original neck, get in touch with LEGO to ask for the free fix kit they have. The original design was very loose and floppy.
Good luck. I got my fix early on while the set was still being made so I can't really say what'll happen. But I did make a late request for the BTTF Delorean Flux Capacitor piece that had been misspelled and they sent it to me even though I bought it used and it had been retired for 2 years at that point
My dad bought me this when i was like 8 and it wasnt even sold in Poland from what im getting. So glad i have it, though because my dad preserved it for like 6 years i couldnt really get the ball joint fix
It helps that it was designed and submitted by someone at Pixar who worked on the film. Plus he was working on this while they were making the film, years before Cuusoo/Ideas was a thing
Where are you located? Someone else has this on sale for £35 in the West Midlands area on Gumtree, thought I’d check a look as someone apparently got a BNIB UCS Death Star and UCS ISD for just £850
The post from earlier today on r/legostarwars? I believe [that one](https://www.reddit.com/r/legostarwars/s/Dtj1E8TGGJ) was the Death Star and Cloud City, not ISD
I vaguely remember seeing the set on rebrickable, apparently the only unique piece was a sticker or printed piece and you can just get everything and build it without those decals. Though I regrettably didn't save that link and last time I tried to find it I couldn't, might have been taken down.
It will not be as cool as my motorized one made from the 8275 Bulldozer

Congrats. This set was my white whale for a while and kind of has a lot going on behind it. My dad passed away 2 years ago. A few years before that my dad went with me to take my car to the mechanic. The mechanic was near a shopping center so while we waited we got lunch then walked around the stores. One of them was Toys R Us. As we were walking around we saw this and I believe it was the last one. Unfortunately I didn't get it because even though I had some Legos I wasn't into as much as I am now. Obviously now it's expensive AF so I've regretted not getting it.
Fast forward to this year. My mom saved up money and bought it for me for my birthday but gave it to me early on Easter. I guess she couldn't wait. Lol. My mom liked helping me build them so maybe that's why. Unfortunately the table we used was occupied with the Millennium Falcon we just built. Anyway 4 days after my birthday my mom passed unexpectedly. I've built the set since then but this set will always have a special place with me.
My 11 year old has been looking for this kit for what seems to be his entire life !!! What a deal! They are so expensive usually!

I can see from here that it’s got the new neck.
Must of been sorted already as the neck and head area feels solid 👍
Yea this is the revised version.
Thanks! Mine has always been floppy and I didn't know there was a fix!
Even though it's well put of print LEGO we're still providing them (for free) a year or so ago so I hope they still are!
I just emailed so we will see :)
Let me know what they say if you get the chance. I've a pal whose been putting it off for months and I'd be interested to know of they still do it
Mine’s floppy too! Curious what you’ll learn.

I regret not buying this set. I wasn't really buying Lego for myself back then though.
That's my fucking white whale!

You can still apply for it, I think. I did about 2 years ago and still received the parts to fix the neck.
That's a great price! Congrats and I had a similar marketplace experience a couple of weeks ago for Wall-E, not at that price point though!
By far my favorite set off all time.
This is one of LEGO’s all-timers for me. Just captured the personality and shape so perfectly.

Nice, that's my first lego (that I bought on my own) which I still have!
Very fun build. My first Lego as an adult.
Just bricklink it, was worth it.

A “G-bag” of “Cali Trees” has to be the most extra way of saying I hide my weed in there.
All he did is detail the specifics grandpa
