The colors of the parts don’t matter because they won’t be visible later anyway. We don’t have the parts needed for this in the parts list, but they should be in almost every collection anyway. If you have the matching rim, you can make the following change in step 68.

However, the Metallic Gold rim (6294526 ) was available very cheap at B&P in the past, so that both the dealers’ stocks at BrickLink are full and certainly many of our readers have far more than one of these golden rims left. Unfortunately, this is currently not available at Bricks & Pieces, which is why Jonas switched to a similar part in Pearl Gold. Originally, a rim in Metallic Gold was planned for the drive unit. You can also replace the Light Bluish Grey rod with an antenna in Metallic Silver (6051882 ). Since lightsaber handles are included as spare parts in many Star Wars sets, they should be available in many collections. The probe can be upgraded even more with handles in Metallic Silver. In step 62 lightsaber handles in Light Bluish Grey are installed.

If you have the small flag in your collection you can immediately install it there. For our product photos, we have already replaced one of these parts with a printed 1×2 tile with the USA flag. In the instructions at step 31, several Tile 1×2 Modified Grill are installed. Either you already have them in your collection – which is not unlikely for many StoneWars readers – or you get them at BrickLink or when they become available at S&T. With some additional modifications you can get even more details out of our model of the Ulysses. We have included the entire parts list as a table: Bildįor the instructions we made sure that all parts are available at LEGO Bricks & Pieces. If you want to build the entire model including the stand and order the parts via the Brick & Pieces Service, you currently have to reckon with costs of $60,19 US.Įspecially the many parts in metallic gold were ordered by our readers a few months ago for extremely cheap prices at the Bricks & Pieces Service, so that some of them might have the appropriate supplies at home, which make the building of our LEGO Ulysses probe much cheaper. Let’s move on to the approximate cost of acquiring the bricks. The availability of parts may vary from one country to another, but currently at least in the United States everything should be available as well. The parts list for the model was also designed looking at the availability of certain bricks for the German Bricks & Pieces service. Please note: This article was written in German and later translated to English.


All necessary parts can be ordered via the Bricks & Pieces Service at LEGO. We wanted to go one step further and so Jonas worked two night shifts and built the (in our opinion) much nicer and easy to rebuild Ulysses space probe, so we can give you the instructions for it today – for free. Hundreds of fans, blog owners and other voices in the community (rightly) voiced loud and clear criticism towards LEGO, and The LEGO Group even put out a statement. Original article (April 16): During the recent “sales launch” of the LEGO 5006744 Ulysses spacecraft in the VIP rewards center, the frustration among LEGO fans was justifiably great, as a large number of fans went away empty-handed. We will be producing as many plaques as ordered. And you can only order the plaque until May 17th. Right now, the plaque can only be pre-ordered and we are planning to ship the parts by August at the latest, but we hope to finalize the whole thing sooner.
