A little hard to make out, but it looks like there's one figure on each side of the plaque?  Looks like an Imperial Commander on the right, and then something in white on the left - probably a stormtrooper?

THAT'S

 

...a lot of grey

Same size box as the MILF?

It might be.  Looks bigger than the SSD for sure.  If it comes on wheels, there's your answer.

Well at that first look I'm dissapointed. Until the size of the built model and further detail pics shown - for the money and piece count I was hoping for interior details, and more than 2 poxy, generic minifigs ??

Yep, same size box. 

This model is longer than the old 10030 SD, but shorter than the SSD.

HOLY CRAP!! My jaw nearly dropped seeing that image. 10030 SELL SELL SELL!!

I LOVE my 10030 but seeing this, I'm now leaning towards letting her go in favor of this set.

can someone help inform us newbs on what was the RRP for the old 10030 and what were some of the mainstream discounts that were available for it?

Brickset says $269.99 but another site says $299.99. I always thought it was $200 but maybe that was the price I paid when I bought it from Craigslist years back. 

I don't recall any discounts on the set.

I think someone bought a bunch of stuff at 35% off and returned them to the Lego Store for credit and then bought the 10030s and then cashed the points later.

Just got the Early VIP email for this set...Double VIP pts for opening weekend on the "Devastator"...assuming that was the name of Vader's ship in the opening scene.

are double VIP pts still equivalent to about 10% off?

Thought they were closer to 5%.  Could be wrong.  Probably.

DBL VIP points is the equivalent of getting 10% of value (before tax) of the purchased set in points; which can only be used to reduce future purchase price of another set.

I am assuming you are referring to the new system of buying $ off in increments. 

So yes, I guess you can't use exactly 10% unless it is exactly one of the increments they offer.  It is still 10% on future purchases though assuming you are always buying to use up all the points.

one of the local major e-shops released online positions for these upcoming sets.. anybody has any idea what they might be?

75256 - Kylo Rens Shuttle

75257 is a Falcon

 

thanks!

FYI: Someone posted online that the UCS MILF weighs 6.6kg and the UCS ISD weighs 6.3kg. 

So cost to weight ratio perhaps not as devastating...

Perhaps they mean just the bricks? Because otherwise I find it hardly believable. My box 70620 Ninjago City (4800 pcs) is exactly 6.2 kg (with manuals and everything around)

interesting to see that the bust line continuing in 2020...

• Microfighters two pack: Bantha and T-16 Skyhopper
• Microfighters: Kylo Ren’s TIE Fighter
• Microfighters: Y-wing
• Snowspeeder
• Obi-Wan vs Anakin: Mustafar Duel
• TIE Fighter with red wings
• X-wing (orange and blue colours)
• Boba Fett bust
• Stormtrooper bust
• D-0

Remake or bust, literally.
