First SW Episode 7 Set Leaked

so how long between the time the manuals are printed and shipped and the sets hit shelves???

Looks pretty bland from the photo.

Interesting -- it looks like a modified version of the Imperial Shuttle with wings up.  I wonder if the wings stay up or fold down like the shuttle.  The latest trailer showed the wings at an angle, so perhaps they fold down.  Seems more like a transport vehicle than Kylo Ren's starfighter.

The Brick Fan also posted this from the leak, which links to the leak: http://www.thebrickfan.com/first-look-at-lego-star-wars-the-force-awakens-set-75104/

Yay! More grey!

​September 4th... that's when these 7 new ep7 sets are released.  .  .

My prayers have been heard! Finally pictures!!! ^.^

Although this picture in particulary is a little bit disappointing... From what I can see it looks rather ... ugly

Like a very bad version of some new TIE-Fighter like ship... Maybe this is what happens if a sith infiltrator and a tie fighter have children...

 

But maybe it's better than what I can see right now!

 

 

I am hoping the close-ups will be better because it looks like a bunch of random large plates stuck together honestly. For the projected price and size, I am guessing this shall be the next UCS set as it seems too large to be a regular minifigure one.

The next UCS set will be Hoth!!! It's already been rumored!!! Don't destroy my hopes ;-P

Meh.  Seriously, that doesn't do one thing for me.  Remember The Twilight?  Yeah, reminds me of that ugly giant grey behemoth of crap.

That thing is a turd

​This is just a large playset like the Imperial Shuttle. $120 projected price. UCS sets have no longer this box/manual art. The guy in the top right corner is a signature of playsets.

I really hope it looks better in person, but I think you're being polite.

An instruction manual image of the upcoming LEGO Star Wars The Force Awakens (75104) set has been spotted. While we don’t have a name for this set, most people are referring to it as “Lead Villain Vehicle”. In the upcoming movie, this ship belongs to the main antagonist, Kylo Ren. The set contains more than 1000 pieces and will retail for over $100 when it’s released at the end of the year.

Somebody has been busy playing with their SW digital trading cards to not know this is a dupe of a ddupe

That's what I get for taking my eye off the ball!

Didn't see this, sorry for my thread and thanks for posting.

​pretty sure you can say the same thing about every gray space craft outside of SSD.

All I see is grey...

Those pics look fake as hell to me.

​I don't think it's Hoth....

​why?

Here is a Brickset review.

I personally think this is the best of the FA sets.  I built this with my son on the 5th of September, and the build was extremely fun, the minifigures are rather nice and abundant, and I actually like the technical aspects.  The only gripe I have is that the back portion of the shuttle is hard to place figures into without busting off the top.
