What was on the shelf below? I see some retired sets.

Looks like the time machine works both ways

The pic is borrowed, but they will be among us soon.

More rumors from The Brick Show and Eurobricks!

75144 Snowspeeder
Based on vehicles used in Hoth and presumably part of the Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series, this UCS may roughly be based on its smaller cousin, 75049

75166 Battle Pack(EP VII)
Predicted to be from Episode VII The Force Awakens, the minifigs include 2 First Order Stormtroopers, 1 Flametrooper, and 1 Officer.

75167 Battle Pack (Bounty Hunters)
This one is a sure win for those elite few of Star Wars fans who have learned to admire the exploits (or mishap) of these legendary Bounty Hunters. This battle pack is rumored to include Dengar, IG-88, 2 more (possibly 4-LOM and Zuckuss).

75178 (Jakku Quadjumper)
Remember that starship preferred to by Rey and Finn over the hulking Millennium Falcon in TFA?  Though too bad it didn’t get more than a minute of airtime when J.J. Abrams decided it’s better off as pyrotechnic material. However, it is good to know that it may get the LEGO treatment that it deserves later on. Minifigures for this set include Rey, Finn, BB8 and a First Order Stormtrooper.

75179 Rebel Hangar
Possibly from Episode VI Return of the Jedi. The set is said to include an A-Wing and a rebel base hangar. Minifigs expected to be with this set are Lando, a Rebel Pilot and a Crewman. 

75180 (Rathtar Escape)
A highly dangerous tentacled predator that first appeared on the big screen in The Force Awakens, the Rathar is also fortunate enough to be immortalized in a LEGO set.  Perhaps it may bear some semblance with the same tentacled creature (Dormammu?)  as seen from Doctor Strange’s Sanctum Sanctorum 76060. Minifigures include Chewbacca, Han Solo, 2 more figures possibly members of the Guavian Death Gang.

75182 Republic Fighter Tank
Back in 2008, LEGO came up with a set under its Star Wars The Clone Wars subtheme named as Republic Fighter Tank (7679). This time, LEGO may have plans to rehash the set and throw in some newer versions of the following minifigures: Aayla Secura, a Clone Commander and 2 Battle Droids.

75183 Darth Vader Transformation
Another seemingly rehashed set, this expected LEGO Star Wars summer set takes hint from another earlier set from 2005 bearing the same title (Darth Vader Transformation 7251).

75185 Tracker I
Another than it is said to be a part of the Freemaker subtheme, we have no other details about this set except another minifig version of Emperor Palpatine and Rowan.

75186 Arrowhead
The Freemakers has a penchant for naming their creations based on their primary features and this one surely shows it. Though the set’s name is not yet final, we may expect the minifigures of Mon Calmari, RO-GR, and Mr. and Mrs. Freemaker to be a part of this set.

75191 Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive Booster Ring
Hinting at an Episode II Attack of the Clones reference, set 75191 may feature the looks of a Delta-7 Jedi Starfighter mounted on its Hyperdrive Booster Ring – the same one used by Obi Wan as he chases Boba Fett across a field of asteroids. Included in this set are the minifigure versions of the younger Obi Wan Kenobi, Boba Fett, and an Astromech. It is interesting to note that since a hyperdrive docking ring was mentioned (as we see it on that epic space dogfight in Episode II) will it be possible that the set will come with a smaller version of the Slave 1 as well?

 

Talk about barrel scraping. Where is the UCS version of Chewie´s crossbow?

I saw this Jakku Quadjumper MOC a little while ago and remember thinking 'That's a strange ship to MOC.' I guess Lego saw it and thought '2 seconds of screen time? Perfect for a mass-produced SW product.'

Uhmm what? Just the hangar was too bland and the A-Wing is the smallest ship they could include?

Are they stupid? Include an OT X-Wing and sell it for 150€. It would sell like hot cakes.

They already have an OT Y-Wing and A-Wing on shelves. Just the X-Wing is missing.

Was about to say ... those are European boxes (no part count on box).

I'm anxious to see these new sets lol. 

Initially interested in 75144 Snowspeeder, provided it's indeed the UCS version, and 75191.

I do truly hope that the Snowspeeder rumor is actually true.  It's been all over the place for so long.  I also hope that it's actually a nice sized set and not just slightly bigger than the last one from a year or two ago. 

I am really looking forward to the UCS Snowspeeder, Bounty Hunter BP, Republic Fighter Tank (Battlefront anyone?), and JSF with Hyperdrive Booster Ring if the rumors are true.

I'm very intrigued what 2 other mini figs we will receive in the bounty hunters battle pack?

4Lom and Zuckuss long overdue!

Re do of IG 88 and the free makers verison of Dengar?

Or will it be 2 Star wars rebels bounty hunters?

Lets hope rumours are not true bout the canning of the UCS Snowspeeder, thats a set I've been looking fwd to for a very long time.

Cancelled Snowspeeder? 

Hmmm 75191 means it's time to flog my 7661.

That's what I thought I read somewhere as well.

Maybe they will make an AT-AT ucs instead...wishful thinking.

MF 

There is certainly space for more UCS spaceships or even an AT AT. I am thinking they will do ISD-MF-AT-AT in that order with MF being an EP8 variant once 75105 retires and ISD coming middle of next year.

Perhaps the LEGO folks worry that a bigger than normal at-at may be too unsteady and fragile for the mass market, which could lead to returns and all sorts of headaches.  Agree def on an ISD and MF remake.

 

When do the UCS sets get released in the year? or is it just random.

It seems pretty random. If there was one coming in Jan or Feb, we would have heard something by now so March or May would be a better bet, maybe with another in September to coincide with the Star Wars Force fan days.

Cheers  I had been looking forward to the Snowspeeder, gutted if it is cancelled. Guess will just have to wait for the assault on hoth style, assault on Scarif in its place.

Yeah if Sandcrawlers doesn't sell out, they might just go and retire it and change a few minifigs and re-release it in September, :)).

Sold my used 7679 Republic Fighter Tank. Awesome set!

I guess I can buy it again in January.
