I don't know if I was dreaming or what but I could have sworn I saw a post where someone preordered a UCS falcon for a May the 4th celebration this year. I searched everywhere (here, shopathome) and came up with nothing though.

I'm going barrow this for a while.  thanks

Will be interesting to see what this rumour does, if anything, to 10179 prices.  Only the bravest holders of new sets will disregard this. I'm not that brave. I moved mine on last year.

It takes more courage to sell such a bad ass set than to keep hold of it.

That's your collector talking. . Your investor would disagree.

hmm I'm on the fence on this rumour, like others have already stated this tends to circulate every second year!

The only thing to consider in this rumour becoming fact is that it is the 40th anniversary of star wars this year.

I just hope that the rumour of the canned reboot of the UCS Snow Speeder is not true!

If it is indeed true, I would love to see a limited edition (limited to maybe a couple thousand sets max). That would be classic....Absolute madness! Problem is Lego wouldn't really profit from a limited release. Sigh...

Well, they profited enough from the DS debacle. So it is time to retribute.

For what it is worth.. I asked my local Lego  employee about rumor of remake ucs mf...he had no idea but mentioned that they have a sku number for the snow speeder

Cheers trunk081 I'm looking forward to the snowspeeder latest edition, was in the dark ages when the first one came out, been a long wait for the reboot

Wow, that really was as much of a confirmation as you are gonna get.

She clearly was thinking about how much she could/should say, but also didn't want to lie about what she clearly already knows.

I am curious how many languages she speaks.

No surprise there given recent events ... 

Is that what CMO's are like?  My company needs a CMO.

Sales flat? Time for a MF re release.

Given that the Han Solo movie has the potential to blow away all the other movies, I would say a major MF set is inevitable.  and also given miss bobble head, I think its safe to say it will be close (if not a re-release of) to 10179....

The last 2 are given.   How did you get Russian?  Pretty sure she knows some Japanese as well

She´s Russian  - moved to the states as a kid. You can tell from her accent.

There is no news here.  We all knew this was coming.  The only question that counts is how good or bad the new version is.  That was always the question and most important  point.  If it's a duplicate or better set, we all know the 10179 will be history.  If it is a lesser set, then the 10179 will have new life.

We should create a poll.

A: Exact same designl as 10179 but 100 USD more expensive

B: TFA version smaller than 10179 but same price

C: Other

The only question that matters is where will they stick the cheese slope that will be the highlight of the new and improved set with a 25% markup.

Well, there´s also the crucial point of which shaped satellite dish they use.
