LEGO Star Wars 2017 Pictures and Rumors

[Forresto]

New trailer is up, please don't speculate here in this thread.

[Ashnflash]

Not sure if you guys recall but as I'm sitting there going through TLJ panel and they introduce the new character Rose. I'm pretty certain that she was actually one of the ones we saw a while back with the leaked figures, she was in the background of it from Toy Fair or something. Anyways its good to be able to put the name to the figure 

[THELEGOBATMAN]

So now we have got confirmation that this figure in the back is Rose.

Does this mean TLJ boxes will have red SW lettering? I wonder if they used the original ROJ poster as inspiration for that.

CM4Sci about the speeders in The Last Jedi trailer. His area of expertise is Lego, so this could hint at a C-wing Lego set.

So trailer confirmed new Gorilla AT-AT another great possibility for a September set ?

Never really confirmed Gorilla AT-AT, but definitely some sort of walker.

Any thing is a possibility of a set, but I don't know if they would do this walker. We didn't get the AT-ACT. I think that there is going to be some FO vehicle sets though.

That 4 leg walker seems very cool to be a set this year... *fingers crossed*

But you have seen the sets

It's obviously going to be a set now that you finger cross it and you have seen all of the sets!

The Gorilla AT-AT is one of the sets...

Also that trailer proves that Poe's X-wing is an Ep VII-only set?

Well that part of the movie could be toward the end, so he could ride his x wing for part of episode 8.

Still seems pointless for them to redo it considering the last one is very accurate.

I didn't say they should redo it. I really don't want another Poe's x wing. A lot of other sets they could do then make a redo of a set that was released not too long ago

Wow, awesome, I am waiting for the sets so much.

Four and half months and we will see these sets.

I think you're misconstruing a niche market that's been vastly inflated by profiteers as "demand."  They didn't do any special for 10221 and it was reflected in lack luster sales.  Yet now since it's been discontinued people try to sell NIB ones for $800.  That's not true demand.  Simply remaking 10179 and throwing in a few extra pieces is not going to sell well at $800.  Any die-hard fan willing to pay $800 for a UCS falcon can just bricklink their own, complete with any custom upgrades they want.  Obviously some people would buy it no matter what because it's a collector item, but that's not the business model Lego operates under.  They like to make money.

 

I have been following the LSW market solidly for 10 years now and whilst both you and I make assumptions about Lego's business model, etc I can say one thing for sure: if the collectors want something they would buy it no matter what the price. Look at the crazy prices that some of the Polybag characters sell for. The 10221 SSD can't be compared to MF. MF (and Cloud City) have such a legendary status that not many other sets can match. I think you may need to do some research in terms of MF prices because $800 is no where near what it sells for. A bricklinked one sells for around $1200. A boxed one sells for a lot more. There is a reason why the prices are that high. After all if there was no demand the prices would have crashed long ago. Reasons why a UCS MF is highly likely to sell very well?

• Current huge hype
• Who would want to miss the chance on a set that is not likely to be re-releassed again for a good 10 years or never
• The huge popularity of Lego now compared to 10 years ago
• The huge popularity of auction site compared to 10 years ago
• The resurrection of Star Wars franchise
• The huge increasse in number of people that buy to profit in the future

Where'd you hear that one?

There's some great potential for sets in that trailer, looking forward to seeing what LEGO whip up for us.

[Stash2Sixx]

I'm seeing a lot of rampant guessing, speculation, and no facts.  Chill out guys, and girls.  Please, keep on topic or I'll close this for the weekend.!

Just like to point out that this is the first mention anywhere of the C-wing.

Ah, right.  I remember that box now.  Thanks for the reminder!  Doesn't look nearly sinister enough.

i thought it weird they didn't do an AT-AT for E7 so definitely looking forward to one if that proves true.

re: the E8 trailer- what's the ship that smokescreens red along the desert-type planet? Any chance it's an important enough ship to warrant a lego set?

for your info,...   helicarrier has a "ucs" sticker,....    but on the box there is no UCS logo,.....   thats why we do not call it a UCS model,,...  but we think it is UCS...

Helicarrier is not a UCS set and has no UCS logo simply because it isn't a Star Wars set. (It may have a similar sticker, but that is irrelevant.) Ultimate Collector Series is a Star Wars thing.
