Could we ever see a remake of these UCS sets

[Andyperkins]

I thought the rumor mill was leaning towards the next UCS being a Death Star? A Death Star II playset in the vain of the original but wit updated Imperial figures ahhhh that'd be so cool!

UCS Snowspeeder next then apparently the Death Star which I have a feeling will be a Jan 1st 2017 release.

I might be alone on this but I really want TLG to make a new UCS Y-Wing.

The way things are going though it is probably unlikely. An A-Wing would also be perfect.

Shame, Assault on Hoth is a waste of a UCS space (at least my wallet gets a break).

TLG will probably release a UCS Finalizer to see how well received a sequel trilogy UCS set would be.

[L E G O]

You aren't alone. I'd love one too.

I agree that assault on hoth is a waste of a ucs slot. I would also be fine with them releasing an ucs finalizer as I would most likely pick that up. Would rather have a rerelease of the Falcon or make an ucs tfa version of the Falcon though.

My dream set would be a Millennium Falcon that wasn't just "a version" of the ship, but rather a comprehensive one that represented it in all the movies in which it appears - one with swappable antennas, different landing gear configurations, etc., to represent it through the years, and a huge minifigure selection with multiple versions of Han, Chewie, Lando, Leia, Luke, Artoo, Threepio, Ben, Rey, Finn, BB, Nien Nunb, Rebel gunners and navigator, Stormtroopers, scanning crew, etc. - like how 10188 Death Star actually represented both Desth Stars, with scenes from two different episodes. This Falcon would be definitive, with sufficient figures and other features to represent any Falcon scene from any of the movies released up to that point (and maybe even books and novels as well).

That would be awesome (and very expensive).

[Distorted Vision]

I think that would be the ultimate Star Wars collector's set. But also very expensive I imagine.

You're definitely not alone on the Y-Wing. I started building my own last week with a light bluish grey color scheme because I can't stand all the different colors and weak greebling on the official set (also the price, haha). Here's my WIP, about 90% done:

Very nice man! Re-make of the Y-Wing would be sick. Still think they can't re-make the old huge ones. They should remain veeery special, else they can just scrap the whole UCS.

[neoconagenda]

I am probably in the minority but I think that, with exception to some proportions, the Y-Wing is one of the best sets out there. I can think of better sets to rehash or even better how bout an A-Wing...

[Blondie-Wan]

I do think it would make sense to do each of the main Rebel fighters at least once before doing a bunch of remakes, and the A-Wing is now long overdue.

That said, I really hope a truly definitive, ultimate Millennium Falcon is in the works for next year. The 40th anniversary calls for something iconic.

[Sion]

The A-Wing is long overdue just like the TIE Bomber.

[Lukasguy]

I'm still hoping we'll get a UCS AT-AT soon. I wonder what's stopping lego to make one. It would be one of the best selling sets. (I think)

I'm hanging so hard for a ISD, lets hope it happens. The math says we're due for one :)

[Tariq j]

A Tanitive IV would also be welcome. It was after all the very first ship we saw on screen.

A Millenium Falcon would also make a fine addition. I like the idea of it representing all the variants instead of just one.

[lanesteele240]

Nope, well possibly but I would much rather new UCS sets based on other vehicles or buildings first.

A UCS Mos Eisley Cantina or Jabba's Palace for example would be amazing!

No more playsets please

[droid747]

No more playsets please

Lets just hope the hoth ucs sells very poorly so they stop the ucs playsets.

[Cjd223]

I really wish that TLG would realize that many of its consumer AFOLs enjoy vehicles much better than playsets. I would much rather get a Tie Bomber or even an Invisible Hand rather than a bunch of random Hoth stuff with a lot of minifgs

I don't think you necessarily represent the mainstream purchaser, though. As disappointing as the Assault on Hoth set is, the TIE Bomber is an EXTREMELY obscure ship (barely even featured in the movies), and that would definitely decrease demand for a large and expensive model of one by a lot. Even an A-Wing would be more likely, since at least it could have a unique pilot figure instead of a faceless TIE pilot. And Lego's recent trend of making UCS playsets is likely based on concrete sales statistics—I would reckon the Ewok Village and Sandcrawler were both great sellers.

In regards to the original question, I do think another UCS Millennium Falcon is likely to be made at some point in the future, given how iconic the vehicle is, the huge potential for minifigs (which can be a great selling point), and the extremely limited run of the original set even compared to other UCS sets. It's possible that the next version will be based on its appearance in The Force Awakens and presumably Episode 8 as well, to help differentiate it from the original. Another Star Destroyer is also likely, but possibly less likely to be a straight redesign of the same exact ship (since there are so many Star Destroyer varieties to choose from throughout the various films). I think the TIE Interceptor, like the aforementioned TIE Bomber, is unlikely to appear again—it only really appeared in one movie and the average purchasing audience probably doesn't care much about the various varieties of TIE Fighters (to be honest, I'm surprised it took us this long to get a vanilla TIE Fighter, which is much more iconic than the Interceptor). And as for the Imperial Shuttle, it's hard to say—it's much more recent than the other UCS sets you mentioned and as such it's still fairly fresh in consumers' minds, so I doubt another will become available for a good long while.

I just recently bought the UCS Slave 1 - I think it is the most impressive piece I own. I would love to see some more UCS' made in a giant minifig scale like that Slave 1.

[droid747]

Really hoping for a new star destroyer or falcon. If they released an ucs venator on scale with anios I would be ok with that too. Could make it cheaper for some people to build then having to bricklink the pieces.

This is the kinda sad unfortunate truth.

I would bet money on either a Y-Wing, Star Destroyer or Blockade Runner next year. Leaning towards the Star Destroyer since its been 15 years since the original.
