Here's the first picture I've seen of the other winter vignette set. Looks pretty nice.

I hate this set already

modified spidey bridge to fit trains. I don't have much room for a straight incline ( 4 ft on both sides) so lots of work ahead.

Dang, this set is bigger than I was expecting...

yes I got one it said on the other side largest lego set ever it did not say largest lego star wars set ever

that looks like money, I'll take 200

I just got this the other day complete with box in excellent condition and an unused sticker sheet. He listed it for $1750 and I made an ffer of $1000. He countered with $1450 and I countered with $1025 and explained that I watched it go up and now its coming down. I personally think $1025 (or $1100 with shipping) is not bad. I am still open for a loss but a year ago I lost an auction for $1900 so I will never feel bad at the price I got.

Compare it to Sea Cow, very similar in terms of positioning. This is larger and more detailed, thus maybe a bit better potential, but still should be close to it. In any case, no D2C has set a large long term potential now, market got saturated and too competitive. People here have to keep in mind that the golden age was good not just because of the low number of investors. The low number of D2C sets released so far at those times meant a much smaller universe of collectable sets and variety. Also, LEGO kept a lower amount of sets in production, so people ran out faster from in-production sets and needed to resort to shop the retired market sooner. Now anybody coming out of the dark ages (i.e. the market for retired sets) faces a plethora of choices. LEGO has an obscene amount of sets in production with discounts coming back. The retired market has such a selection that you do not even know what to get. Long term investments for D2C sets in my opinion is pretty much over for this reason. Better gains can be made on smaller and short production sets. People are less reluctant to pay triple on a $20 set than a $200 one.

Even you with the seals man...

Picked one up today to build. Not sure why some are down on this one. Sure it's $300, but it's also the third largest set by peice count, looks interesting with loads of details, and it's modular!

Someone on Reddit posted this: Personally...I see it.

You rang?

LOL Toys R Us followed through! Disney and LEGO will be pissed!!!

Found on Brickset, a little Star Wars (Force Friday 2) sale preview:

it's limit 1 otherwise these would have disappeared in under a couple of hours. it will be interesting to see what the seal codes are on these and if other retailers get restocked.

Speaking of falling to deaths.... Mother Gothel. Evil. Selfish. Abusive.

So this is where the idea for Assault on Hoth came from.

I don't know if I was dreaming or what but I could have sworn I saw a post where someone preordered a UCS falcon for a May the 4th celebration this year. I searched everywhere (here, shopathome) and came up with nothing though.

UCS Tie @ 20% off + double VIP points + Scarif minifig... probably won't get better than this direct from Lego. A telltale sign this set is on the way out?

Hopefully the new TLG CEO culls this line and a few others as soon as he takes over. Ninjago Movie merchandise just puts into persective how poor TLBM and Lego Movie sets were.

Last show of Metallica's 2017 NA tour and it was in my town. Saw it live but you guys can watch it again! Great footage!

This isn't the price is right you know..

I do not understand why does the theme need to define the quality of the set. The price point is very good as the set is large. Who cares what is written on the box, LEGO is about the build. Speaking about AFOLs, 'adult' means that they are supposed to have the brain capacity not to be influenced by the branding in choosing which set to build. You say yourself that it is an 'incredible design and likely interesting build'. If you think so, then listen to yourself, buy it and enjoy it.

According to a German Lego-Blog, a store-employee let slip a few more details, mentioning the weight of the set to be about 15 kg ( 33lbs), making it again a good deal heavier than 10179 (11kg with box and instructions) https://www.promobricks.de/lego-star-wars-ucs-millennium-falcon-75192-karton-soll-15-kg-schwer-sein/39573

1) The Piece Count is the trickiest part so I added all of the pieces of every single LEGO Millennium Falcon sets except for the one in the advent calendar and I got 659+985+5195+396+1254+1329+87+94=9999 and then I did 9999-1977 to get 8022 pieces. However because Lego star wars sets didn't come out until 1999 I found out it took 22 years until they arrived in the form of Lego so I subtracted 22 from 8022 to get 8000 pieces. Coincidence? I Think Not! 2) Really don't know when it would leak but probably around August 29, 2017 at 8:11 P.M. 3) We will most likely get C3P0, R2D2, Princess Leia, Han Solo, Chewbacca, Rey, Finn, BB8, Old Han Solo and a Buildable Mynock like the rumors have said. It would also be nice if we got Lando Calrissian and Bespin Luke as well since it will most likely be ESB themed this time around. Nien Nunb could also be an added Bonus if included. 4) I believe there will be a Radar dish for the OT version and the TFA Version. I also want to add that I believe that the box in the front will most likely be ESB themed since it is a more iconic theme to many people who may or may have not seen any Star Wars films and the Back of the Box will be TFA themed. Either that or the box will be some type of New Packaging that we haven't seen before in a LEGO set.

Update - I decided to try again with Disney store customer service line re: my smashed box. I got a different representative this time of course, and she gave me 10% off in the form of a refund back to my credit card for the damaged box. Brought the total down to $259. Also my builder.

Thanks, I'll update it.

It would be cool if the new set included all minifigs who rode in the MF onscreen. ROTJ Lando, ROTJ Numb, Farmboy Luke, nearly any Leia, nearly any young Han plus old, ANH Kenobi, R2, 3PO, Finn, Rey, BB-8, and Chewie. Heck, ESB Lando and Luke could even be used Come to think of it, I don't think Lego had made a Nien Numb mini dig yet.

1. 5969 2. august 23. 3. luke, han, leia, old and young on those. chewie, land, r2, bb-8, c3 p0, 4. both dish 5. First BP member to lay hands on one and flip, Raven.

Hit up my local super store today. Found the following at 50% off: 75132 FO battle pack 75099 Rey's speeder 75145 Eclipse fighter 70318 The glob Lobber

Speedorz Fire Bikes for those with the most off guesses, right?

Seeing some discounts on 10179's now starting to come through. If there's a downward spiral as people panic and want to offload will look to pick one up on the cheap
