If it is a guy like Dodonna or a pilot I won't mind, but if it is someone like Saw Gerrera, Galen Erso, or Bail Organa I will really be upset. Why? I never get these promos :( Couldn't disagree less. Saw Gerrera is my first or second favorite Star Wars character period. And given Bail's importance, the fact that we've never had a minifies of his is confounding. But that's why TLG offers different sets I suppose, for different tastes.
March 23, 20177 yr I messaged@ChristopherLee about the minifig he said it is a well desired take it with a grain of salt

March 23, 20177 yr Author Take it however you choose. No confirmation yet on polybags or promos for the fake holiday May the 4th. Â I hope it's not a Space Slug unofficial type of set, I still have to get rid of one from last year.
March 24, 20177 yr I've seen multiple well-informed people teasing a UCS Millenium Falcon set. All the signs point toward one. I think it's safe to assume one will be released this year.
March 24, 20177 yr We'll know April first ( no jokes ) when Lego releases their online calendar for may.Â

March 25, 20177 yr Tell that to Kanjiklub! Good minifig, not sure if it'll make me want to get the Rathtar Escape though.
March 26, 20177 yr Lego said in an FB reply that there are no current plans for a UCS Falcon re-release.
March 26, 20177 yr Did they actually use the word "re-release"? Because if it's a new Falcon UCS set they're planning, that wouldn't technically be a re-release.Â
March 26, 20177 yr A lady said "...release the original UCS millennium falcon..." and LEGO said "Awe, well there are no current plans, but we never know what the future holds! :)"

March 26, 20177 yr Strangely, I'm more inclined to believe strong rumours than what Lego actually say about whether there are any plans...
March 26, 20177 yr The person in charge of LEGO's FB is most likely a marketing rep who knows nothing of what the company is planingÂ
March 26, 20177 yr On 25/03/2017 at 9:29 PM, VaderFan2187 said: Bala-Tik  Like the Bala Tik minifig. I warming to that set. I think its the Guavian Death Gang...

So no confirmation in either direction.
March 26, 20177 yr Does anyone know why they took the third Guavian out of the set from the original images we saw, because there was one less in the images from the toy fair. Any particular reason, or was Lego just trying to keep down production costs?

Obvious answer- Lego is greedy and decided 3 Guavians in 1 set is way too much ; not obvious answer - Lego couldn't make enough of that minifigure in time, so to not halt production process they decided to put 2 in a set instead of 3 .

Simples! buy two sets = FOUR Gauvians!
