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?

 

 

I guess I'll have to see if they carry this set at my store. I had assumed that the hard to find sets were online only because they don't offer them for in store pickup.

Some stores do, just assumed that's where you planned to use the coupon.

I'm looking for a quick favour from anyone that can answer, though the requirements to do so are going to limit the number of responses...

 

Will a constructed 75060 fit inside a Ikea Detolf cabinet shelf?

 

The built dimensions in "landing position" that I found suggest 45cm x 37cm x 20cm. I know the display mode is on an angle, and the angular distance for 1 shelf is about 48cm.... I'm thinking it might just barely fit, but I haven't got anywhere else I could display it....  It would be disappointing to build it up only to find out I cant put it where I'm hoping. Anyone in a position to check for me?

I'll check in the morning if you haven't received a reply

Found a post in the displays thread that I'd forgotten about. Greg shows a mod he did to fit his on page 13 of that thread.

Well, you're in luck because I do have an IKEA Detolf cabinet (actually, I have three of them) and I do use them to display my LEGO sets. I also have a 75060 on display at home, so I can definitely answer you that it does not fit inside. It's standing on top of my Detolf cabinet. 75060 is quite large!

Surprisingly found one at my local tool shop for €50 - instabuy!

That's the prototype of the future re-release

I second Haay, the Slave 1 will not fit inside the Detolf

It's been recently replaced by the UCS Tie which fits in the same space (height) as the Slave 1.

here is the post being referenced above.  @GregP  how is holding up?

 

 

 

Looks like this now... Sorry for the glare and the LBG plate someone will surely notice. Stole it for something else and keep forgetting to replace it.

I've seen people buying brackets to lift the shelf above enough to allow it to fit. You'd have to budget your space to allow a smaller set to live there.

I'd really love to have 2 medium compartments and two smaller ones. May have to investigate some bracketing options, not sure I've got enough spare parts in one colour for the brick approach.

Received a 38S7 from LEGO Shop.

Not a good indication for a shortly retirement... ?

John Lewis in Reading had the same code.

Hows our thoughts on 75060 making it until May 4th this year? I want to pick it up before retirement, but getting it below RRP after the holidays is difficult.

Been on backorder on SAH for some time. I guess we'll have to wait until after Jan 25th to see what the stock status is?

I've seen certain sets stay on backorder until March on S@H after the holiday rush.  You shouldn't have an issue in waiting until May 4 to get Slave 1.

I'm pretty sure Slave-1 won't get retired until end of this year.

We will probably get it at a disount for 4th May too but they could push it out of stock so people can´t order it during the promo period and that may have been what worried the OP.

It was on sale for $159 on Target.com yesterday, and today it's not even listed on their site anymore. Not sure what it means, since it's still in stock LS@H.

Target had an unintended sale yesterday and its probably just OOS for now.

That makes sense. Thought something was weird that they still have Hoth UCS sets, but didn't have the Slave 1 anymore. Wish I could've picked up like 2 more at that price point though. Thats the first time I've ever seen it on sale.

did anyone even get  Slave 1  order in yesterday at target.com? 

i had been buying 1 of these per month from target - haven't seen them in stock since end of January.

same thing with architecture capitol building which was also on sale yesterday but hasn't been in stock in months.

Nearly gone.

Should be a winner with a long enough hold. Can’t see them remaking a UCS version again. Plenty of cheaper versions no doubt but they will only reinforce how good this one is. Kinda like the Sandcrawler.

Stock is plentiful in N America. Lego, Target, Amazon all have it.
