It's pretty convincing...

It seems both likely? For such a bland box design for such an expensive, exclusive, and collectable item... 

 

and unlikely cause it sucks.

What's the story/source of this new photo?

Some guy on Reddit with 5 posts

Think the box art on par with recent shots of the movie

Well, this could be the first step in TLG´s masterplan for marketing by getting the hype going with such a small picture and building up over the next few months, teaser by teaser.

I´ll keep an open mind.

What about this one?

 

Best $10 (multiply by X) you could have spent in 2015

For once I wish nobody would leak something like this. Funny coming from me, I know - but I can't remember the last LEGO release that was a total surprise to everybody. I wanna be surprised for once! 

75144, 75095 and 75060 all have a small preview in a corner of what the set looks like on its stand with its UCS sticker... This one would not ?

Plus the shade don't look right... Sun is hitting the valley beneath thr falcon and not the falcon itself ?

I call fake, or at least sloppy job of a young intern for an internal box art shot preview...

The only way to get surprised nowadays is to turn off your internet for a month.  No product is really a secret anymore once you figure out how to find the leaks

 

 

 

 

Perhaps they didn't want to clutter up the front box image with an alternative view?

I'm just being optimistic here...

Square radar on that one.

Probably just a fake released into the wild so that when bogus bricks steels it they get the wrong box art.

Is this to prove it's a fake?

If they used the Death Star sized box (60cm by 50cm) then I may have had believed it.

Yes

Oh well. Never mind.

I totally agree with this. Fake in my opinion.

The thread goes silent...

I agree. At least put some effort into it. ...like this.

Additional point for it being fake...   The set name appears to overlap the ship image, which never happens on real boxes.

Is that a cheese wedge I see?? @jaisonline

If that´s your own work then I think you have an excellent shot at working for TLG´s City Fire and Police Station R+D team. Don´t forget the helicopter.

I dunno about you guys but I'm not falling for it.

 

Check out the official pictures of sommer set 75180... on the backside at the right of the box. I think this could be the new MF UCS.
