And the winner is . . . 

This has just surfaced on Instagram - general consensus is that it's legit:

I'm impressed if so!!

I think i see a landspeeder back there

Until an official picture shows, we’re just going to remove that. 

With a google one can find 1 instagam leaked half-blurry picture of Mos Eisley.

Does it look like a XP-38 landspeeder to anyone else?

 

Yep, Looks like the XP-38.  The inclusion of this is enough to have me sold.  Never would have expected this.  Most likely this set won't have a luke speeder... which is nice.

Also, seems like there won't be piece count wasted on a mini falcon...

Well...

No, but it does look like the V-35 Courier

Oops, the image I grabbed was mislabeled.  I think you're right.  XP-38 looks closer to Luke's speeder.

All the minifigures and the 9000 Z001 speeder from 75205.  Wonder if Wuher is a different minifigure.  Maybe it'll drive the price of 75205 up for those unable to afford this.

Wow Amazing playset! Love it. oh to be 10 again:).  Not the greatest shelf display though IMO. I'll likely wait till a may 4 or primeday in couple years for a good price. 

Why are these sets adding feeding stations for animals?  Skirmish on Hoth had one too for the Tauntaun.  Waste of parts.  

Overall, very nice and amazing selection of figures that will really fill in missing ones from this scene we've never gotten.  

Happy the speeder is not Luke's.  I assume the other speeder thing that was Greedo's?  is the same as the other Cantina set.  

Looking forward to better pictures.

I just want the Modal Nodes, get the band back together

I'm in! Ready to throw some running man double kicks in (Drum talk)to liven' up the vibe🤘

My guess is that they saw how poorly AOH was received for being a playset and a collection of buildings that they made sure this was mostly just 1 structure. Waiting to see how it opens for display value, might have to sell the Sandcrawler however

Man, that UCS Imperial Shuttle remake looks great!

Waste of parts, or increase in part count to justify higher price?

Eh, it does not look like the one in LEGO Star Wars video games

Reserving judgement until we see it opened up

Both to an extent.  I don't mind the piece count, but to use it on a watering trough for a dewback is dumb.  This seems to be Cantina centric and not necessarily Mos Eisley centric, so adding other buildings doesn't really make sense,(though I'm glad the other building is there) but a larger scene of the city/spaceport was what I was hoping for, not an animal feeding area.  

Overall, I'm happy with what we're getting, but the price tag will keep this from being a day 1 purchase, for sure.

I'll be picking one up "for the kids" 

Per the SW BAttlefront 2 game (old one), the inside of cantina is actually pretty small.  It is basically 1 narrow hallway from dome to dome splitting the inside to 2 sides, with the bar on the larger side of the hallway (by feeding station), plus booths + stage on the other side (the side of the domes).

I am interested how this will be shown on the set.

Looks cool but it doesn’t fit in a Detolf.
