Rumor has it that Lego will be releasing a UCS Slave 1 in 2014. (Eurobricks, BrickFan, etc). 

 

I for one am literally thrilled if this is so. 

 

Slave 1 is my favorite of the iconic ships in Star Wars, and it hosts the two best bounty hunters ever. I'm sure I'll acquire over twenty of these if its really going to be released. Speculation says around May 4th promotion again. 

 

Anyone else excited? Or would people have rather seen a different UCS model?

 

 

Mad props

My pocketbook cannot take this relentless releasing of awesome mega sets from Lego!

Neither can my marriage :)

But they both are still somewhat alive.

The same size as the new destroyer? Is this anything like the SSD size?

Surely this means the SSD must retire.  Not!

No.  The 75055.  It has 1300+ pieces.

That was close. I was listing my wife on craigslist as I thought I would have no room for her lol

Don't call me Shirley.  An experienced LEGO investor and collector could surmise that the SSD will retire with the new UCS Sandcrawler and Slave 1, but you never can tell.

Actually I am with you on this.  Not calling you Shirley that is.

I almost wrote Shirley to open the sentence rather than surely!  How strange.

 

Yes I agree completely, I do think the SSD is going away, will be gone before the new movie and the Slave 1 helps seal that deal even closer.  I tend to see my sarcasm goes so under the radar most people don't detect it!  I'll work on it being more obvious.

 

But someone had to bring up the SSD related to this. VBG.

 

 

 

By the way, I don't know if anyone has seen the pictures of the leaked Star Wars Episode VII Millennium Falcon being rebuilt on tmz.  A new UCS Falcon from all that speculation released in time next year for the new movie would go perfectly together.  May not happen, but just saying...

Some people's sarcasm detectors just need new batteries.......it's a quick fix.

It has been revealed! and boy is it gorgeous!

Set will most likely be a $250 set, hope it will have a big box. I like big boxes.

 

What do you guys think of the set? Time to unload 8097 to start with

Looks great. Piece count is a lot better than I had heard. I was worried it would be in the 1500 range like they had done a couple of times which at a 200$ price point is not very good.

Glad you were able to find pictures rather than video! Great find!

My wallet is crying....  still haven't picked up the sandcrawler and now this must have comes out.  Looks nice!

Excellent! They`ve actually managed to do a great job, another great set for 2014 has been revealed!

I am really stoked that it comes with a placard - sweet! I don't think the Sandcrawler did, did it?

I will be getting this too, and hopefully with one of the XMas promos. Is there a release date yet?

Sent from my iPhone using Brickpicker

"I gotta get me one of those!!!" "Duuuuuude!!!......Sweeeeeeet!!" :D

I think this is gonna be my first Star Wars UCS set . . .

So now is it time for the Death Star, R2, or UCS X-Wing to retire since this is coming out?  I know it doesn't always work that way, but the LEGO stores only have so much shelf space.

Another first day purchase for me, thanks for the picture.  I particularly appreciate the design of the stand.

It is a $200 set.

What do you guys think of the set?

Haha

 

This is also a gif for the announcement

Wowzie Wow Wow Wow  

 

I like the tumbler I love this.
