June 14, 201312 yr Which Lego Star Wars set do you think TLG will re-make next as a UCS set whether it has existed as a UCS or regular set in the past? I'm leaning towards the Cuusoo Sandcrawler http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1786 only because its currently under review and the past set was a while ago (2005). However there are quite a few other options out there, and I would guess with the SSD on the way out in the next bit (thanks again Emazers!) we would see something in the same scale. What would everyone like to see and/or what do you think TLG will actually produce?
June 14, 201312 yr I have no idea about what they will produce, but I would really like a chance to get the Snowspeeder!
June 14, 201312 yr Since the current UCS remake is the X-Wing, it is safe to assume that the next one will be the other iconic ship... UCS MILLENNIUM FALCON
June 14, 201312 yr The sandcrawler will never be made because of cost. That one might not, but they might look at making another. Honestly wouldn't surprise me if they made a motorised version though
June 14, 201312 yr They'll remake the UCS Falcon, and then they'll retire the Death Star after they re-make it with more current box art.
June 14, 201312 yr I do wonder how many people would hoard it, believing it to be a great performer like the 10179...
June 14, 201312 yr Author I've thought about a Millennium Falcon remake (I want one sooooo bad but I won't pay the current prices), and it would make sense with the current MF on its way out but would they not wait a bit before releasing another? If there's money to be made though.
June 14, 201312 yr Yeah, Lego doesn't care about investors and are in it to make money for themselves.
June 14, 201312 yr I have no idea about what they will produce, but I would really like a chance to get the Snowspeeder! I've got a 100% complete used one. It's for sale.
June 14, 201312 yr UCS full size Cloud City that can actually hold the Millennium Falcon on the landing bay. It could come with the Han Solo torture room, holding cell, dinner table with Vader, carbon freezing chamber, a bunch of augnauts, Lando's house complete with a fridge full of Colt 45 beers (80's beer commercial Billy Dee Williams was in for you all too young to remember), and lightsaber duel area with Luke and Vader. Should run about $1200 each and have a limited production of only 1000 sets.
June 14, 201312 yr I've got a 100% complete used one. It's for sale. Thanks for the offer, but even used the thing is really expensive lol

June 14, 201312 yr Well, since the UCS X-Wing got remade, Lego would be foolish to totally duplicate their next UCS model as well. I would vote for a UCS AT-AT.
June 14, 201312 yr Wouldn't it suck if Lego remade the UCS falcon, but it was only 3000 pieces and not minifig scale? RIOT!
June 14, 201312 yr I think the fact that there is currently another very good version of the MF for sale means that they are less likely to target that for a remake. Also the UCS MF only came out in 2007 so I think one of the earlier models have a higher likelihood of a remake just now, not to mention that there are a few options for UCS that haven't yet been explored. The new movies may also throw out a few options in the longer term.

June 15, 201312 yr i would love the sand crawler - such a cool set! - however i do believe 10,000 pieces is a bit much, it would weigh 50 lbs and because it included alot of larger bricks, would probably cost about 1,000 lol

June 17, 201312 yr I think they'll do another one eventually -- the original one was cool, but I think they could do a better version easily. The shape never was all that accurate, plus they can do a real r5d4 now...
