I'm currently brick liking a UCS falcon (900 parts to go) and what I do is find the part I'll need the most of and order from the store that has the quantity I need at the cheapest price. I generally buy everything the store has that I need unless there's an expensive part that I can get for a significantly cheaper price elsewhere.

Awesome, man! It has more of a mini vibe than a UCS one, though. LEGO would never release a UCS this interesting. Now it just needs a mini Jabba...

I suppose that soon is relative. The UCS Falcon has been wildly popular on the aftermarket. if LEGO has been tracking what sets sell well after their retirement (I have no idea if they do or not) then the uCS Falcon will be at te top of the list. It makes since to me for them to release an updated Falcon. I had serious doubts about this rumor until this screen grab from an ad: http://i55.servimg.com/u/f55/11/29/64/44/vlcsna10.jpg That's clearly not a standard size LEGO set. Well now I feel like an idiot USE THE EMOTE FOR SARCASM
SW is awful in terms of merchandise? Nobody ever buys anything? No appeal? Are you serious? Star Wars is a juggernaut in the toy industry. At one point it was estimated that more money would be made in focusing on merchandise than actually making another movie. Loads of Star Wars products hit the shelves every year and are swept clean. They wouldn't have such an onslaught of merch if it didn't sell.
The luke fig is really boring and dissapointing. You'd think they could have come up with something just a tad more creative...
Chrome looks great when you first get it, but after a little use I've found that the chrome chips and scratches, leaving an ugly looking hilt. Also, the chrome seems a little flashy and detracts from a set if you're trying to display it IMHO. Chrome is also expensive compared to the flat silver color they've been using.
I agree. J.J. Abrams even covered up the windows in his office, there's no way he's going to let some toy company get in the know about Episode VII. I don't think a homestead set is likely (where's the conflict? Most LEGO SW sets have a good guy and a bad guy. And I doubt any kid is going to see the set and think, "Wow, a house! In tan! With Luke and a couple of old people! I gotta have it!") It might just be the angle, but this looks kind of chibi to me. It's definitely large, though. I personally doubt a UCS falcon is coming soon, but this grab does look promising...we'll have to see.
Great! The lack of MF bothered me, too. This really fits nicely with the overall look of the DS.
Great. Perfect size. Looks like something LEGO would try to do, but ultimately fail at ;)
Awesome, that looks really good! Might have to copy you around the mandible area. Most impressive.
