I have seen multiple retailers list 75236 as "confidential slave one" or some variation thereof, and I would suspect that TLG has gathered together multiple codenames for the 4+ kit. There is not a single doubt in my mind that it is anything other than an OT or PT Slave I, but it could be either a small playset that includes a tiny Slave I or either a very large and unprecedented error by several retailers. Both are unusual, so I'm excited to catch what TLG has been cooking up. Edited October 17, 20186 yr by Azani

October 18, 20186 yr Saw the set list in the other 2019 thread, very interesting that the first UCS of the year is $120 US. Glad to see its something smaller, that makes my wallet happy. My gut tells me it's probably an A-Wing at that price, but only time will tell. Can't wait to see photos of these new sets.Â
October 18, 20186 yr I can definitely see them doing a Slave I at a $120 price point. This would make it big, but not too big. It would still be smaller than the 2015 Millennium Falcon and be a nice scale (Unlike the one in Cloud City). Boba, Han, Carbonite, Zuckuss, Bespin Guard, Stormtrooper? Â Although, it could be reallly nice if they do Jango's. Â
October 18, 20186 yr It boggles my mind that they’re doing another AT-AP and yet we don’t have a bantha yet....

What is even worse is the figs that will be coming with it.... mostly all minifigs that aren't even updated... only the droids :/ unless i'm mixing this up with the gunship

Can't wait to see photos of these new sets. At that price point it's more than likely to be a "ucs"-style (meaning with sticker) character figure- like BB-8 or the porg IMHO...I can't imagine a 120$ proper UCS set, they are moving constantly upwards with the prices. Pretty underwhelming according to this list though, all the most interesting sets are small...

Oof. I haven’t got a phase two Gree yet so I guess this will lower the price on the secondary market. Still it’s utterly absurd we haven’t got an iteration of key figures like Ponda Baba or Revenge of the Sith Padme but we’ll get yet another rehash of the same figs.

October 18, 20186 yr So according to the new list, there is no canto bight escape, rather it was a death star escape?

NO CODY PHASE 2!!! arguably the most important and noticeable clone in the films and the only one with a name said onscreen at the time  (not counting clone wars) and we still have none. but yeah, is the at ap even a popular walker??? would rather have a properly made At RT  Â

No engineer worth his salt would ever design something relatively close to star wars vehicle. The ATAP isn't even that bad and the third support leg makes a lot more sense than something like the resistance bomber and it's open bombing bay.

What I meant by this, is for example the Sith infiltrator which is listed as a 10$ set, so seems to be a microfighter, although a nice update with the right minifigs would certainly appeal to me personally. I don't know what to make of these 4$ offerings, like anakin's podracer? I see the set number is different, but what does that mean? I haven't seen a LEGO costing this little, even minifig polybags sell for more. Â
October 19, 20186 yr I think $4 price points are for polybags. At least that’s what I assume them to be. No figures, just a small build in a bag.

Well, that's the only thing I can think of too, and it's a shame that these get wasted for polybags, but it looks like they are releasing yet another few ships in larger scales, that get re-released constantly every few years...
