okay well I hate to do it but i have to ruin your reasoning behind ucs theory. When moster fighters came out only a couple month later they started selling the Haunted House which even though is not a traditional "ucs" set it has a 10 at the beginning of the product number which slaps it in the same genre as ucs and has a price tag of 180, also in January they are coming out with arkham asylum for the DC super hero line, again it has a 10 at the beginning and has a price tag over 150 and the dc line has not been out long either. So anymore lego doesnt really care about how long the line is out they just make whatever is going to sell. Secondly it is going to be the main set of the line because of the fact that is in the main gallery display plan where only big ticket items go, bigger than a helms deep set so we can assume its going to be a 10 series ucs style set

Okay im going to clear this up to everyone since most of the people are looking at this from a fanboy perspective and not an economic business man one. Okay since Orthanc is the "flagship" set and it is part of the main gallery initial visual display there is a 99% chance it will be a USC set with a 10 at the beginning of the product number which most likely means it will be well over $100 because they are considered separate from the actual release. Also you have to realize there have not been any actual set names or descriptions released but they are going to make "bigger" scenes that were popular to the viewing audience. Which is actually a large amount of the consumers that are buying the sets many parents are having their children watch the movies and then coming buy the sets its not just hardcore fans buying sets so they have to appeal more to the regular movie fan not extreme enthusiast.
