LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

[StarWars8Spoiler]

Looks like I'll be deducting a good 5th of my savings account for this set. Can't wait!

[droid747]

So if it has an interior to play then it should be smaller than the old uxs falcon.

Thank you Stash! Good to hear we'll be getting a Hoth Leia finally!

but we do have a hoth leia, and its pretty accurate save for the leg printing that could be the same as thoryn farr. what we dont actually have is the hoth leia sans the tan vest, you know, the full white jumpsuit leia that appears on the mynock's scene along blue jacket Han and messy hair chewie. Maybe those are the ones we´ll get?

white jumpsuit leia is integral to a lot of scenes in ep5, it would be great to have her!

maybe this iteration of Rey will finally have the dual molded arms she needs to be complete, flesh on top/tan as gloves (just like the latest poison ivy) then, Finn with leg printing i guess? or full black jumpsuit?

I was thinking just the same. Its very strange that the 40th anniversary of ANH really doesent have any ANH sets (except the Landspeeder set, witch is an exclusive..).

The again : TLC's realeases have NEVER followed any logic. 

Please, could you elaborate... What are we talking about... a full interior, or just partial...

Like a play-set, that opens up... or something else?

I only saw an interior shot, but one would assume that it has an exterior which comes off and exposes the interior. As another poster says it would be a sick joke if it was just a playset that represents the interior of the falcon.

Thanks for that @Stash2Sixx shame we don't fer rhe two most iconic mf pilots in nien numb and Lando ? would've been nice.

[Stash2Sixx]

A member of the boards recently told me that it may be closer to $800 USD, which makes sense as we knew at least $600 minimum.

Then...

My initial source has just informed me that Leia is in full white jumpsuit, looks to be a tan C3-PO, navy jacket Han, and it includes a circular radar dish.  Not sure about a rectangular one, but at this point...

Which means it might be 1.6k NZD... *sigh...*

tan C3-PO

What? hopefully he just saw wrongly

Lets just hope the rumors are true this time. Also an $800 set seems unlikely, but $600 seems more reasonable. I am not saying its impossible, but there has never been a Lego Set more than $600 if I can remember. The Taj Mahal is so far the biggest Lego set at the time, but that only retailed for $300 and I would not be surprised if a new UCS Falcon set would have more pieces. I just hope if it has around 6000 pieces that it sticks around $600 instead of the update Death Star where only around 200 pieces were added and it costed $100 more than it should be just because of it being a licensed theme.

[General Magma]

I hope this means that all of those figures will receive more advanced printing. Would be awesome. Anyway, already scarce on money, I need to start pumping up some gold for this, but, awesome!

[1980-Something-Space-Guy]

Holy crap. Can't even begin to imagine the aftermarket prices once the set is retired. The high demand by investors will only be countered by the steep price.

Also, tan 3PO? So, similar to the old version? That sounds odd.

I believe $500 is the highest price for a Lego set so far. The original UCS Falcon and the updated Death Star were both $500.

[Aethersprite]

Sweet news; thanks Stash! Looks like I better start looking for a space to display that Falcon...

[Stash2Sixx]

Grainy pic, it may be that gold color...not expecting a chrome gold one though!

 

Take that Lepin!

I don't know. We have have same c3po all the time a different design wouldn't hurt. 

[Hoth Rebel]

I've already posted this a couple of times, but my sources told me from the start (september/oktober last year) that it will cost €700 so I would take that as a minimum. Anyway time to save some money either way haha. 

[Delta Customs]

The reveal for this might be closer than we think, Celebration is now less than a week away. 

[Lord Sith Lego]

I was hoping for an AT-AT sadly. Still might be good to buy one new UCS MF set and keep it sealed as an investment. Will be on the fence until I see reviews on it.

No way they are going to reveal the next UCS set before the Snowspeeder is released. It could hurt sales if people decide to pass on it to save for the rumoured $600+ one.

[makoy]

Thanks for all the information. If the pricing is right, this could be the most expensive set that I will buy.

[TypoCorrecto]

A new UCS Falcon would be $400 tops.

Uhhh, I doubt that. The Death Star is not going to be cheaper than a USC mf.

Lol. Genuine 1980's prices. The original was $500!

there is an interior.  Seen a pic of it on someone's phone who works in Billund.  

You only have 15 posts, and I don't see anything in your history other than you saying it'll have an interior. I'll wait for someone who's been reliable before I believe this.

If all you have is your opinion on pricing, please keep that in the pricing discussion thread, thanks!

No need to argue in the 2017 news thread, thanks!

Again, no need to start an argument in here, thanks!

[thorin]

Stash. Thank you.

If the interior is true, I will be highly interested and I think many others will be too. I passed on the original UCS for this very reason. Many others bought Ewok Village and Sandcrawler but passed on the "models" due to playability. Time will tell, but if it appeals to both collectors it will sell.

My biggest concern is that Lego will produce only a limited quantity, which would be a big bummer for the whole community. Hopefully they don't go Nintendo on us and cater to the scalpers.
