New UCS Lego Star Destroyer 75252
Hello. Wondering if there are any plans to make a lighting kit for the new Lego UCS star destroyer, 75252? Lighting the engines would be a given, but wondering if there is enough room and support for sounds?

Swagnik Roychoudhury Thank you for your feedback! We definitely plan to have lights in other areas of the ship as well, not just the engines. We are testing some tiny lights this week and hope to be able to finalize the design and share photos and videos soon!

Austin Goodnight Thanks for checking in. We're wrapping up a few Christmas sets, then will work on this again. More info should be up by next month.

I would be very interested in a fiber optical kit for the lego star destroyer 75252
Please let me know of any updates so I can pre-order.

Brian Bille Thanks Brian, good to know. Would you drill holes in your parts, then?
-
Rob Klingberg I would have no problem with that. I was considering modifying a 1/2700 model kit to add fiber optics but would rather have a kit built for it.
-
Brian Bille OK, good to know! I'll see if we can incorporate this as an option. But we wouldn't be able to provide instructions for installing the fiber, since we wouldn't modify our own kit. I assume you're versed in this kind of modification?
Would you also be looking for us to supply the fiber?
-
Rob Klingberg instructions are not nessessary as long as supplies are provided. Would need the circuits, leds, plug in option, fiber to led connectors, drill bits and long length of fiber.
What do you think the ETA for something like that would be.

Brian Bille Got it, thanks. Right now our kit queue looks like this: first, finish the kit for the new Ecto-1, then finish the upgraded kit for the Ghostbusters Firehouse, then finish the SSD kit. So likely in the next 4 weeks to have it ready for pre-order.

Hi, thanks for keeping after us for this kit! We still have this on the list for a mid-2022 release.

Speaking of fiberoptics. It looks like someone has done it. https://youtu.be/UCPBSMJdNKk

Tanner Saadi WOW! That is incredible. 2,000 fiber optic lights, over 6 weeks to install. Hmm, I wonder how we could ever make instructions for that?! 😂 Thanks for sharing-- really incredible.

Any update on release window yet? Still mid this year? July? Aug? Placed my pre order for the Millennium Falcon and the star destroyer is next on my list!😊😊
-
James Michael Awesome! No new updates on the SSD kit. I think I'm going to create a "project status" page so people can check the status of individual kits-- this will save you needing to check in with us. Hope to have that page up next week.

Hi Rob, just been going through this thread and wondered if this project has ended or still in the works?
