So....now I'm just trying to figure out how to afford one, and then how long it will be in production.....although I predict that will be a long time.

You will have plenty of time to save up and the further down the road, the more discounts there will be.

And remember, even just 10% off saves you $80

Think double vip would also do the same

Since when can you use VIP points you earn on the purchase retroactively on the purchase itself? *wink*

If there is a "First Edition" production run, waiting for Double VIP points will be a poor business decision.

Well I'll be waiting to pick up a 10179 hopefully for sub £1000!

I just got this the other day complete with box in excellent condition and an unused sticker sheet. He listed it for $1750 and I made an ffer of $1000. He countered with $1450 and I countered with $1025 and explained that I watched it go up and now its coming down. I personally think $1025 (or $1100 with shipping) is not bad. I am still open for a loss but a year ago I lost an auction for $1900 so I will never feel bad at the price I got.

 

As long as I get one to build I will be happy. First run, numbered, not numbered, don't care. Buying to build and enjoy. Can't wait till vip early access. It will be a glorious day. 

The one thing that sucks for us here in Hawaii is that the actual Lego store does a 10 percent mark up. So if it is 800 retail it's gonna cost about 900 here. Gonna just order online. It's really stupid that the Lego store doesn't price match the actual website.

Well, still better than Guam.

 

Here is some signage from a LEGO Store.  So...which is it - Biggest SW set ever, or biggest set ever?

 

I was just about to post that myself.

Well, I got the same thing, inside of a brochure for force Friday. Everything else in the brochure is Star Wars related. So, I'm going with biggest set ever, and it's a SW set.

That information has not been leaked or officially presented yet.  At least not to the masses.

both statements are compatible

largest lego star wars set and largest lego set

at least I hope

When I made my fake box, the guy over on Eurobricks named Tragic Banjo (a very reliable insider) made a comment that my piece count of 7643 was close to the actual count

Maybe I'm him. And maybe I said that because I know I would run this contest and I wanted to throw you off.

well it is 100% 75192 and it is officially $799.99 so while it is possible they could just say F the numbering system and throw out a Big Bird Flocked UCS which I would absolutely love it's probably just LEGO being dramatic, but there is another oddity about the 75192 that I will refrain from saying.
