I made this list based on the instructions PDF that’s available from LEGO’s website. For most of these, it doesn’t really matter if they are black, dark bluish gray or light bluish gray so I picked them based on what will most likely look good with the surrounding colors and what is cheapest on Bricklink.

Two notable parts: Technic, Axle and Pin Connector Perpendicular Double with Axle Connector 2L is only available in white (the same color as in the set) and for the Technic, Axle 1L with Pin without Friction Ridges “old” light gray is significantly cheaper than any of the newer colors except the included tan.

In general, if you want to save a few bucks, you can probably leave all tan and white pieces as they are. For me, the complete replacement (250 pieces) cost about 35€ plus shipping.

      Oh cool! Where did you order it? Lego’s website says late February and JB Spielwaren where I ordered (because they include a cool display stand for the minifigs) currently estimates the shipping date as early March.

        I had mine pre-ordered through Amazon! I’m actually kinda a newb to legos so this is only my 2nd set. Finished the R2D2 earlier this year. Now I want the display stand though cause I’ve been trying to figure out what to do with the minifigs so I don’t loose them🤣
