I read all the info as:

Sept 1st - Come and drool on the store model

Sept 15th - VIP orders

Oct 1st - General release

I have one, and only one request of this set:  No. Numbered. Bags.

I want to search endlessly for that one piece, only to find it in that place I thought I already looked.  Oh, sure, I could be organized - but what fun is that?!  10179 didn't need no stinking numbers on its bags, and neither does 75192!

Come on, Lego, let's separate the post-pubescent from the pre-pubescent!

Hahaha

A Millenium Falcon with probability? Sounds like the Heart of Gold!

Does anyone think there won't be a teaser next week, similar to the Saturn V where they skipped a week 

No need, 1st of September will be announcement.

So could this be the new cockpit elements?  It's 5x10x6.  The current one in the non-UCS Falcon is 4X8X6

That's a can of worms that's been argued about endlessly on EB since Ninjago set debuted.

If I recall somewhat correctly, I read a while back on SAH section on 75159 DS, in response from a negative review, TLG responded that the $100 price increase over 10188 was due to rising costs in raw materials blah blah blah.  I'm leaning 70% that this will be some sort of set that is a micro world type using tons of 1x1, etc. pcs to get up to the 7541 pc count.  I'm 20% on the UCS Falcon, which would put it maybe around $800-1000?  And I'm 10% hoping it will be a huge AT-AT.

So 7500 for $800 isn't.. too bad? Could be $750 but ..

I just dabble in this thread. Curious, but not convicted.
When I first saw the grey and tan piles of Lego bricks I thought, "Another MineCraft set? That's huge."

A Star Wars skin for MineCraft? Worked for Angry Birds =)

It did look like some sort of bird shape, lol

Filling it  with 1 x1s  would be a huge mistake and piss everyone off.   I just finished two Minecraft Microworld sets and those pieces suck.

I agree.  I did one of those a few years back and it sucked.  Probably the reason I've never built my Robie House yet.  I just think these huge sets at high price points haven't done well in the past and they may not be willing to take this BIG of a risk.  The one anomaly I can think of is 10188, which was on the shelf for 8 years.  Maybe that got up their nerves to try and pull off a gigantic set?  I'm thinking small pcs, $400-500.  Just my gut feeling, but I could very well be wrong...and I hope I am.

 

I thought the price had already leaked as 799 USD.The part count would tend to support that price point or even higher.

799,99€ as mentioned a few times already...

Why are you assuming that I am from YOUR part of the eurozone?

Point taken, sorry.

I believe the set will be similarly sized to the original falcon, as i cannot imagine them thinking a LARGER set is a good idea for anyone. (shelf space, displayability, shipping weight, box size, inventory issues, etc). However the increased piece count could point to a very detailed interior as many have hoped for. Detailed interiors require lots of very small pieces. Instead of being disappointed that the majority of the extra pieces are 'small' it might actually be great news that we get a similarly sized falcon (yay) and a detailed interior (double yay).

However i do agree they will probably retail this bad-boy for 800. (No yay)

September can't come soon enough. And bravo to Lego for being able to keep this under wraps. Whatever it is!

I know it's a long shot, but I'm hoping for a set that includes some TFA and some OT minifigs, and maybe options to customize it to look like the Falcon from either movie. 

Probably not going to happen, but until it's revealed I can dream! 

I wonder if we will see an Ewok Village amount of minifigs. Probably wishful thinking but would be cool.

You be the judge?

What if this ISN'T the Falcon (based on dark stone grey / brick yellow), but wreckage (Star Destroyer / AT-AT) on Jakku? Surely this is just to show volume of bricks and we're still getting a Falcon (and hopefully not a cheese-wedge remake w/ 'extra' bricks).

Hmmmm.  It DOES show use of the new curved tiles.
