Who needs sensible? Just gimmie a freakin' UCS Falcon.

April fools or not, seeing that price tag suddenly brought it crashing home that this set will be very expensive. You can see why the original MF wasn't a great seller. 

The idea of owning an UCS falcon is a romantic vision we all have but that money could be easily used for sensible things like the mortgage and bills.

I'm just not missed out a second time. Whatever the cost, if it's a good model then I'm getting it - not as if it will be cheaper years later!

So buildable R2 is now officially May 4th minifigure? Then what was the minifigure @CristopherLee saw? Tbh I'm dissapointed that Lego done something different this year, when there's still so many minifigure we can only hope to get in polybag form.

Why is everybody saying there's no double VIP points? There are! It says it right there on the calendar: "May 4-7 celebrate Star Wars with Double VIP points on all LEGO Star Wars items and access to select sale items"

I presume the double VIP points starts on the day the May 4th promotion begins then? ie. April 29th? If not, there is a going to be a sh1tstorm of abuse from angry VIPs who placed orders for the Snowspeeder on day 1 sans double points.

I don't like the R2-D2 polybag as May the 4th promo neither, but it's what we get. I would have liked it more as a give away with 75$ purchases or something like that.

The May the 4th promotion (double points and R2-D2 polybag) begins on... May the 4th. April 29th is just the VIP early access, which is a separate thing.

It will be interesting to see the size comparison between the polybag R2 and the regular R2.

[Brikkyy13]

Thanks. Knew it was fake, just wanted to see what it was. 

It would be hilarious if it was a real leak but everyone blew it off because it came out on April 1.

Thank you. I will be searching for it.

It's fake, right? Because I really hope it's not...but it's got to be because it's today...

I found the comparison here it is for anyone that wants to see

[StarWars8Spoiler]

That's fake. Like LEGO would use that tiny stand for such a big set.

Honestly, I doubt it is real.

(Hey, they even put the new Han hair in gray like we were just talking about).

They just photoshopped in figures from 75159 and 75105, took 10179, and pasted it on a stand.

[Bricky Dee Williams]

That's what I thought as well, yes.

I was hoping that we might get something really special - possibly another chrome Darth Vader, or C-3PO, but I guess we mustn't complain - it's certainly an improvement on last year!  It's just possible that TLG may have something else planned for the autumn, to coincide with the rumoured second UCS of 2017... time will tell.  Perhaps @ChristopherLee would be kind enough to clarify what he was talking about, it all sounded a bit vague at the time

Seems legit. ?

[Bricky Dee Williams]

So it turns out the Falcon was CM4Sci's creation over on Reddit; Happy April Fools! But he's really playing that he Photoshopped the old Han Solo, complete with long gray hair...from something we have yet to see! It's a small win, I guess.

Nope but I do know the figure Christopher Lee is talking about and I think you all will really like it 

[Franklinw1234]

It would be cool to see a darth jar jar though. Maybe it could happen another year.
