UCS Jar Jar Binks head

 

Oh the pleasure of smashing it constantly!

 

I would love one of those monster AT-AT sets cavegod has made, and would happily pay the money for a massive sized one.

Also would love another Yoda statue, but a "life sized" one....

Jaisonline, what's this you know about a new Sandcrawler? I'll probably still want the old one, anyway.

If I had to choose between Mos Eisley Cantina and Cloud City, I'd choose Mos Eisley. I think it would make a more atrractive and cohesive set, and I want 18 alien minifigs. I see the model as a greebled-up adobe hut in light tan, with a removable roof, and sections which separate from the main structure. So you'd show off this weird brown hut, pop the roof off, and inside you've got a main room with the bar, maybe 15x12studs, enough room for Ben to chop chop. Then you've got three small modules connected by technic pins. One is the band. One is the booth. The last is the whole front wall of the building.

Then you could display it with the roof and front wall off, so it looks like a diorama. Awesome Sauce.

I'd love a new Imperial Star Destroyer. That's the most iconic ship next to the Millenium Falcon. And it better be an updated and sturdy version and not like the 10030

I'm sure we have done this thread before...

We have, and I just merged the two together. There is another one for "UCS remakes" but I'm not sure yet if it could just go here.

I know nothing, insider-wise, pure speculation. From the Cuusoo video, when 3D Ep 4 was due in theaters, going in 6 years since 10144 was retired, still cant buyba Jawa outside of this set, etc...

That picture doesn't do the sets justice - they are much larger than they look.

They do look somewhat tiny in that picture. Perhaps if the resolution was bigger?

10179 ultimate collectors edition millennium falcon. I'm so mad I missed this one!! I've watched YouTube builds and it looks like it would have been a blast. Plus the fact that its worth a fortune...

I'm guessing 2015 at the earliest for an updated Star Destroyer. The Super Star Destroyer isn't retired yet, prob will by the end of this year. No way Lego is going to release a version like it right after, so earliest would be 2015.

 

My guess though is for spring 2015 they are going to have a very, very special UCS to concide with Star Wars Ep 7. My guess? Slave I. There's probably going to be a very special minifig for May 4th, and possibly Celebration VII.

I wouldn't mind a Jedi Starfighter with the Hyperdrive Booster Ring. Obi-Wan's Starfighter wasn't all that great IMO. It was only decent. 

 

To be 100% honest, I wouldn't mind a Chewbacca bust...

That would be cool.  Pretty brown though :D

 

I'd like to see more busts of any character really.  Stormtrooper and Darth Vader would be top of my list.

How about a bust of Luke Skywalker.

Nah, I don't think I'd be into that.  Something weird about a Lego bust of a "real looking" human face or head.  It just doesn't work well.  Not sure I'd want to stare at Luke's handsome face for any length of time :D

 

Characters with helmets or alien features always look better with that sort of thing I think.

Yeah. It's a little hard to recreate a human face and make a model. LEGO does a great job at it with their displays of Super Heroes, different licensed characters, etc, but those are massive. A regular-sized model wouldn't look too hot.

 

I think Boba/Jango Fett would do decent as busts... Maybe we should all spam LEGO Customer Service and demand more busts...

A chrome gold C3P-O, proportionate in size to UCS R2.

That's actually a great idea! It sure would boost up the value of R2! And the 2 of them would look brilliant for display. But C3PO would have to be above 1m tall...

That would be awesome. If that happens, they can make a combo pack that includes USC R2-D2 and UCS C-3PO.

You want to talk about a piece that will never happen, this is it.  Pearl gold?  Maybe. But this thing would cost them so much to make that it would cost buyers a fortune for all the chromed pieces.  They don't even make chrome lightsabers anymore, they'll never make a chrome set.

I'd like a UCS C-3PO but, "The odds of us successfully guessing the next UCS set are approximately..... "
