Based on uploaded info doesn't look like a UCS set in the same scale as R2. Shame. Looks like I'll be bricklinking Anios MOC.

No need because I'm pretty sure it will look just like that. 

Noticed that brickset is showing box weights. What sort of brick count will give 1.36kg?

75186 Arrowhead is 1.26kg (775 pieces) and 75180 Rathtar Escape is 1.15kg (836 pieces). It all depends on the types of bricks used but I wouldn't expect more than 1000 pieces.

BB-8 is much smaller than R2. If it's close to 1,000 pieces, could still be a UCS.

they see me rollin....

no mention of UCS and neither price, are range nor box size suggest it will be anything other than a playset.

A playset makes more sense at this time.

Got info from another forum that this will be 1,106 pieces, which is a little more than half the pieces of the UCS R2D2 set 10225. I think it'll be in scale with R2 which would be awesome.

I'll wait to build that MOC one that's out there to see if this turns out to be the set I hope for.
