I'm not buying that. 

NO DISNEY LOGO = FAKE!!

It's on the bottom.

I envision it's just gonna be the designer flipping everyone off and walking away while they show old footage from 10188.

mja.

What a wasted opportunity.

Such an iconic set - and they just change the color of the box and logo

As for the conclusions they took from the WVM -> never change a winning ... box

Cheap X-mas for a change. I like it.

What ever reputation their UCS line had is pretty much worthless now.

How would you introduce that piece of crap as an employee?

Customer: "What are you building?"

Builder: "Oh, we've had this in the back for a few years now so we decided to build it."

Can you believe this guy? For weeks we have been tearing down the fake show Lego gave us and he likes it? 

haha I'm just teasing.  It is what it is at this point.  From a collecting/fan standpoint, it's no worse than AoH and that was rock bottom from my perspective.  We can only vote with our wallets and hope for the best.  

If they ever decide to do a 50% off sale on this and AoH i'd probably bite but otherwise I will pass on this the same way I did the last Death Star.  

I still can't decide if this gives me more hope or less hope for an update of 10179.  Reason being that this is a playset rather than an adult collector's item.

I think TLG has been having to much Frank's red hot....

 

 

The explosion under vaders tie has shifted more to the right, from the leaked images, to the leaked store images.  What I don't get is that in the leaked images back, the lightsabers are inconsistent.  In some scenes they are lit up with a photoshop like effect, and others, they are just a straight shot of the toy.  That's one reason I thought it was a fake.. but seeing this in store lego pics I'm slowly starting to come around to the sad fact that retirement really only means short hiatus.

 

Are there two different emperors royal guards? How come it isn't emperors royal guard x 2.

The small shadow MF has proportions different from those of 75105.

LEGO is just very confused. They should be identical.

No no no.  They look very similar but one has a cheese wedge which makes it waaaaay better.
