Hi David, The Falcon is placed in the wrong place, It should rest on the flat surface just under legs. Regarding rear brace if you turn around will fix the issue. Thank you
With regards the rear brace, I turned this around but it did not fix the issue of the brace rising up out of the side panel slot. I think I also tried swapping the two side panels, I can't remember now. I suspect that issue is due to the slots in the base not being vertical and so they don't hold the side panels vertical and the whole thing becomes a sort of parallelogram. Don't get me wrong I really wanted to like your stand, the mini figure plinth is by far the best of any stand I have seen. I also delayed posting the video till after I had made contact to give you a chance to respond just in case I had done something wrong or the stand I received was a dud. I then added an update section to the end of the video correcting my mounting mistake. However I still believe you have a significant design issues around where and how the stand supports the Falcon.
Hey, just checked your video after mounting. I agree with all your points and would probably prefer to pay more for the wicked brick stand (wish I'd seen this before!). Do you know how long it took for Unique Display to reply and what was the best approach for contacting them? Hopefully I can receive a refund on my item as I don't think it's fit for purpose, it's also cheeky they advertise the technic cutout leg holder but don't ship the acrylic out with that cutout on the piece! Thanks for the info
@@mitchbannon8816it's such a shame they did their stand the way they did as it looked so promising. I think I found a contract email on their website, maybe from a contract us page. If you can't find it let me know and I'll dig it out if my emails. IIRC they got back to me within about a week, although initially they said leave it with them to investigate after I sent a bunch of photos showing the initial issue of it not being mounted in the correct place. Then after they sent some photos back showing where it should be mounted I replied still not happy and they finally refunded me quite quickly, maybe another week. I finally bought the Wicked Brick stand, much better, see my other video for a review of that.
Please jump to 18.52 and you can see that you have misplaced your set, should go 1 step lower means your set will sit higher and there will ne gaps at all. Once you rise the Falcon please do another video. Thank you
You are correct, my initial mounting position was wrong as there were no guides or mounting instructions on your site to say otherwise. I picked that location after studying some rear views of the Falcon you had in the photo gallery, however these were not that clear due to the landing feet getting in the way so I picked what I though was the most supportive location. If you jump to around 26:18 you will see the update I made to this video following the replies I received from you to my email queries. Specifically if you look around 27:36 I describe where it should be mounted and then show it with the Falcon remounted in that location. This does indeed fix the mini figure plinth gap which I then show later on however in my opinion this new mounting location is not suitable as it puts the whole weight of the Falcon on what I would consider non-load bearing structures. In fact the structure at the rear of the Falcon you suggest it should rest on is floating at the one end and so is pushed out of line. The gap between the stand and the back of the Falcon also still exists causing the stand uprights below the support arms to press on the underside panels, again pushing them out of place with the weight of the Falcon.

Thank you very much. Was considering getting this, now I'm thinking i should maybe go for one of the other, slightly more expensive options.
That's what I did, I went for the Wicked Brick stand, much better IMHO. See that review here: ua-cam.com/video/9HBB6xqJRNQ/v-deo.html

@@davidb5255 Thanks David, I contacted them through their website so hopefully hear back from them soon!
This video is misleading as the Falcon set is placed in wrong place 🤣@@davidb5255

You talk too much
Maybe, maybe not. If you get bored simply skip forward, that's what the timeline and chapter markers are for.
