I think it would be perfect for a system scale Falcon, but I think it could be a little small for a UCS size set right? Quote

I think using this new piece would result in a similar size to 10179. Of course we have no actual reason to believe this piece will actually be used on the new set. It's just speculation, and i think we should wait for more info before we get too far into this. Quote

Choops Posted June 23, 2017 Posted June 23, 2017 There looks to be a new inverted arch piece which could be used to complete round openings on the falcon. white piece on left side. Steve Quote

Steve Indeed! It's a fairly new piece... 18653 and will no doubt make building the mandible access holes a lot easier. There are a few pieces that I expect to see on it if the UCS falcon hits, including the new macaroni tiles! Quote

Legoman123 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 I'm looking forward to seeing a more detailed shot of the Star Destroyers interior but so far I like it. In all honesty I did not expect to get Snoke so soon but if he's in the movie then I guess it's only right we do. Quote
Sportzjester Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 How is this above mentioned rambling allowed? It's about hypothetical pieces in non-Star Wars sets and how they could potentially be used in a future Star Wars set which we don't even have leaked images for. However, when somebody discusses a clue that a person in-the-know drops, it's considered off topic and the mods consider it DEFCON 1. Some consistency please. Quote

Perhaps what's needed is a new thread for anything pertaining to the rumour regarding the tbc UCS Millennium Falcon. Any blathering, unsubstantiated nonsense, potential parts speculation, argument over parts count/price or anything else for that matter. I like the 'guessing game' aspect of the discussion that (for me) builds the anticipation of the set. I would hate for some of that conversation to be lost, or get shut down... I think you are right though, this stuff is off topic and the "unconfirmed rumours", "wish lists" and "guesses" are probably more on topic. All of it has a place in my opinion, it's just where that place is that matters? Quote

As long as you talk about the right rumours! Sorry, I don't recall that bit of discussion... but I will second your good idea now. Does discussing the rumour of a new falcon really exclude speculation based upon new parts appearing in other sets? For me, a rumour is strengthened by seeing new parts that are undeniably perfect for the job. That new trans-blue 'cockpit' cone piece is perfect for realising the falcon's cockpit. If there were new macaroni slopes perfect for the docking rings and they appeared in another new set, would it really be that irrelevant to mention them here? Quote
Hold0511 Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 Personally I'd prefer the parts conversation to be in another thread as this one gets de-railed often enough - but just my view... Quote

StarWars8Spoiler Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Was looking back over the leaked Snoke figure, and noticed how similar his facial printing was to Tarkin. I'm guessing it's just an odd coincidence. Quote

BrickBob Studpants Posted June 25, 2017 Posted June 25, 2017 Mere coincidence 99.9 % of Snoke theories can be ruled out immediately due to the fact that Snoke is an alien. A very humanoid one at that, but still not human. This has been confirmed officially and the minifig further proves that by featuring blue eyes. Only alien characters are given coloured eyes (yellow Sith eyes don't count) Quote

Chirrut is another example. Jek-14 has blue eyes because he is fully 'energized', artificially so. Lego never really shows what eye color a human character is supposed to have. Quote

Most likely if the helmet only changes slightly Lego will just do a new print on the current mold but that's speculation at this point. Quote
