Agree on the starfighter. I have the previous young Boba and he could use a fresher clone. I love the Republic Tank and have the old version, but this was never actually seen in the movies so I don't know who it will appeal to other than video game enthusiasts from a certain time.

It does have a non-cartoony clone wars version of Aayla Secura and rumored to have a clone, which could be Commander Bly.  So, if you collect the various prequel Jedi's that set has that going for it.

enough tiptoeing, I'm dropping bombshell right here-> we can be in about < 90%sure that we will get three new UCS sets by the end of the year which are as follows inclusive of price tags.

Подтверждение некоторых слухов о UCS наборов в линейке LEGO Star Wars

Цены примерные
1. UCS BB-8 [100$/150$+]
2. UCS Snowspeeder [-200$]
3. UCS Millenium Falcon [-600$+]

end of quote.
 

I'm excited for Millenium Falcon, can't wait to see the final project! Price is on spot since the last one costed roughly about 500USD.
BB8 is a little surprise, wonder which model they are going to present? the popular one based on ideas with knob based rolling mechanism inside?

like 90% it's from russian website from where I used to post leaked pictures of the new upcomming sets, so far so good 100% hit on everyhing since 2015.
So there is very reliable site in terms of delivering leaks.

Great News!

LOL - cheap panic-selling 10179s to appear on an eBay near you! I'll put £500 aside to replace mine ;-)

I sold mine at the peak, nar nar na ner ner!

Well, considering that the new MF will be more expensive it will be difficult to make a loss with 10179, even when bought for RRP. So everything will be fine, especially long-term after the retirement of the new MF.

I'll wait for photos but this sounds more like a s**tspeeder at that price.  It should be 250-300 to rival or improve upon the old one.

You joke, but I'm not so sure! I wouldn't put it past Lego to release this set and never retire it. They've surely watched 10179. Why would they ever retire the new one?

Tie fighter, slave 1 & red 5 xwing RRP was $200 and they are pretty good builds. Original snowspeeder 10129 was $130 in 2003.

Looks good number wise but I agree we should wait until photos release based on last few UCS sets fiasco.

I'm personally really looking forward to snowspeeder more than new falcon. Hopefully it will have some sort of harpoon and tow cable feature so can recreate hoth scene.

If the new UCS MF is EXACTLY like 10179 (why not?), there will be tears. Or... it could be similar but, with the new radar dish? Either way, 10179 prices have to plummet short term. We now know that LEGO are lazy so why not just basically reissue it in a new box with a new number (Technic race truck anyone?).

However, the new MF will be a good flip as it's bound to sell out on the first day. I don't think LEGO will make too many in the first run in case it bombs which ain't good for a £449.99 set,

I can't wait to see the fallout from the new release IF it's true.

This is one set I'm having on day one!

^cant stop laughing, u nasty man lmao

There's two sets that are unknown yet according to brickset.  7 of the 9 "unmarked" sets are for the Last Jedi.  However, I don't believe the numbers to the last two coordinate to UCS sets.  I'm assuming one is the yearly TRU exclusives that usually hits around the summer.

I'm going to try to put a freeze on a majority of my disposable income spending in anticipation of 3 possible UCS sets...

If the new MF doesn't happen then OK but I want to be prepared just in case to blow a whole lotta cash on it.  

Snow Speeder interests me too.  Hopefully they knock it out of the park.

Exhibit A: 10188 Death Star.

Star Wars FB just shared this. Seems almost all toys (not just Lego) had the Death Trooper on the top right so maybe the lego sets will have the same.

 Force Friday is September 1st this year.

 

 

personally not a fan.

 

Every time I see Rey now, I think of Daisy Ridley's Twitter account, which is really annoying.  Whoever runs her Twitter along with Felicity Jones' should be thrown out the airlock.

Why's that? I don't Twitter so just curious.

It's the same people running both accounts. They post random pictures, retweet each other's accounts all the time, and post this over and over:

WHY ARE THEY TRYING TO BRING THE MULLET BACK?!?!? Rey does not need one to add dramatic effect.

It's the interchangeable bun phenomena.

@exciter1 Ugh. Okay that's annoying.
@California92563 It's a sure sign of turning to the Dark Side. That's a big time spoiler you're ignoring.

Interchangeable bums? Like this one? https://www.walmart.com/ip/Fake-Foam-Buns/193040286
