As someone who would love to build this set, but will probably never be able to afford it while it's available at (or below) MSRP, I would like to hear from anybody who has had the opportunity to build it. I am guessing that it was pure awesomeness, but I am looking for confirmation on this. Please feel free to share your stories. I need to live vicariously through others on this one! :) Thanks!

That was a trick question Ed. Of course no one has ever opened a box and actually built it! ;)

Good one. For a moment there, I was going to have to send you on your way to Brickset or Eurobricks. We don't build LEGO sets around here. We are too busy counting our profits. LOL

I purchased one and actually opened the box (which is more than most can probably say on this site) ...Just to get a view of the manual. (I am a manual guy, what can I say) It is super awesome and big (think UCS Millenium Falcon big...a set I don't own but bought the manual from Lego Replacement Parts for $55 before they were no longer available last year). I was also very impressed how the inner boxing worked, it had a box just for the manual. I will be building this set. Just as a side note, I love these monster manuals. So far I have only come across 4 that don't confine with the normal manual size. 10179, 10143, 10030 and this one 10221. The rest I eagerly file away in a Lego Manual File Cabinet by Set type. Does anyone know other sets with oversized manuals? I much prefer them over the 2-4 books that come with sets like Taj Mahal and Imperial Shuttle. I know what you are thinking, I am a nut for loving manuals. And to think as crazy as I am about them, I somehow misplaced my Statue of Liberty and Cafe Corner manuals! It drive me nuts to think I might have thrown them away accidently when moving.

I don't think you're a nut at all, you're just very passionate about Lego, as we all are :)

I too try to keep all of my instruction manuals in pristine shape, but I have lost a couple over the years and believe me it frustrates me like crazy as well. I could be wrong, but I think that 10188 comes with the bigger manuals like the other big sets you listed, I'm not 100% positive though.
