I looked through a few falcon depictions and the only one where that dark greyish stripe is to be seen is on this one: Even at that it's not even noticeable and the Lego version looks far too dark.

Air1 Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 According to this (very well informed) blog (https://www.hothbricks.com/) it will be today at 16.00 GMT. Check the blog in 80 minutes :) Quote
Criss Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Wow, what a great time to be an AFOL! I think i have read something about that LEGO stores are going to display the falcon from september 1st. Quote
Jim Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Question.... Thursday, AUG 31st at 10:00am EST (Enfield) / 3:00pm BST (London) / 4:00pm CEST (Munich) is in 7 minutes right? Quote

I plan to also build a coffee table for it, with three T-70 X-Wing's in flight formation with it (2x grey/blue normal ones, and Poe Dameron), as a Force Awakens post-Starkiller Base destruction fly away scene. :) Quote
Cwetqo Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Those dont have anything to do with rectangular dish, but are just part of "changeover kit" for new movie version. Those two bits go to the front of falcon and make it look a bit different (beefier). Quote

Good to see some positivity for Stash :) You make a very good point. I'm sure he has helped a lot of people in this respect. As someone who appreciates all Lego Star Wars builds, but has limited myself to collecting the figs, I can't deny I am not disappointed in the fig selection. I would have expected them to have done a Death Star set up with more minifigures representing different scenes / episodes. A good selection may have tempted me to buy it and sell on the build. That way I'd get the figs and someone gets a slightly cheaper Falcon. Not sure why Lego has limited the selection, but maybe they think there will be enough demand anyway, although it seems a bit of a shortfall. Still, my purse will be happier. :) Quote
LordLEGOtube Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 To be fair the stripe and olive green are a little less jarring on the image of the box, the one I was looking at with all the figs and the display plaque was clearly oversaturated/contrast boosted Quote

BucketWheelExcavator Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Will the unveiling be on youtube? Quote
aukevin Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Having an interior was going to be what made me definitely get the new. My big question is what do I do with my old UCS MF!?? Quote

EMBARGO TIMING - AUG 31st @ 11:01am EST / 4:01pm BST / 5:01pm CEST (Munich) Thanks for the heads up. I would have waited for other media to publish, but still thanks for not letting me ruin my life Quote
Davenocheese Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 Does anyone know will Lego be revealing the Falcon at 4pm today and if so, will it be a stream via YouTube or just announced on instagram / twitter? Quote
AussieSamurai Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 A beautiful looking set, that could be the cause for my divorce, and yet looking at some of the interior shots.....stickers....grrrr Quote

jdubbs Posted August 31, 2017 Posted August 31, 2017 I can't wait for the 5-10 pages of mind-numbing debate about whether this constitutes a "real" UCS set because they opted for block lettering over the stupid seal. Quote

Obviously it doesn't count. This is "Ultimate Collector Series" rather than "Ultimate Collector's Series". Totally different thing! Quote
