75253 (Codenamed "Jaws") will cost $130 and include 1177 pieces. The box size is estimated to be about the same as the First Order Star Destroyer.

Maybe Home-One in Nanofig-scale like the Rexcelsior?

[TheRacker]

I can't imagine why they would make a UCS Tantive IV with only 1177 pieces and at $130 when we got a 1700 piece snowspeeder at $200.  It should be at least as big as the other recent UCS sets, if not bigger.

This rumored "Jaws-Set" isn't a UCS-Set, it's only a new 130€-normal-set.

This rumored Jaws-Set isn't a UCS-Set.

Oh sorry, I was reading through the last few pages and it wasn't exactly clear that the UCS discussion and the one around this set were separate. Is jaws still rumored to be a tantive iv, or am I misreading that too?

We don't really know what it is.

But I think a UCS Tantive IV is still likely for this year (check this, this or/and this out why I think so).

“We” meaning us peasants who share information when we get it, I guess

[Renown]

Perhaps the absence of a Last Jedi Leia minifigure may have something to do with this potentially being the Raddus. I seem to recall a rumour from last which suggested she was coming in a lifeboat, which SvL confirmed, although that appears to have been put on hold. I suppose it could be argued that, while the codenames in some cases haven't meant much (ie the Solo set codenames), the ship does have the physical outline of a shark. While I am no expert on building techniques, I reckon the Raddus' shape would be easier to recreate in LEGO than the Home One for example, which has less angles which could be manipulated through traditional building techniques. Perhaps an iteration of the Raddus would be a lot like the Malevolence from 2012 in terms of building techniques. The described box dimensions and price point arguably suggest some sort of compatibility with a vehicle the size of the First Order Star Destroyer, and after all, fans have been wishing for a proper attempt Mon Calamari cruiser for a number of years.

STOP! Those rumors are wishlists not actual rumors with substance!

Exactly.

If by "I think..." you mean "I'm putting my wishlist there where it doesn't belong..." then you're right.

You can talk about substantiated rumors all you want here. But if you start wishlisting we'll lock the thread.

In this case "I think...." means: "After reading the first half of this article, which is quite comprehensibly, I can say in good conscience, that...."

So, I suggest we can say that this is a substaniated rumor.

Here's hoping that "Jaws" ends up being a Hammerhead Corvette. The size fits, and obviously the code name is on point.

Then again, Rogue One has been criminally underrepresented since its release, so maybe that's just never happening.

From the article "

Everything that I have derived from this information, therefore, of course, only speculation. And I'm honest: This is definitely also "Wishlisting" in the game, because I would like both sets mentioned"

so it's still just speculation and wishlisting. I'm saying that not to call you out or be argumentative, I just don't want people getting their hopes up.

Still sad we never got the resistance transport set back in 2018, i love building up fleets for any faction

Whatever happened to the V-19 Torrent rumor from last year?

Alright, until now every mention of the blockade runner or ISD have been wishlists. Please reference articles like this if you're going to bring up items that have only been wishlists before.

And as stated, this article does not really bring any substantiation to these rumors.

Either got cancelled or pushed back for the release of the clone wars season 7. I'm hoping the latter.

Thought that was a possibility.  Here’s hoping.

Done.

And I thought: if even internet-sites like Rebrickable or JediJacPenguins "Databank" list these two Sets in brackets and with Question marks as Tantive IV and the ISD, this isn't any whishlist anymore but a "serios" rumor.

Thank you for adding more context. Please know that you were not being specifically targeted. You just happened to be the lucky winner who posted before I got on and read the more recent posts.

Yes. I would pay well above $130 for a good hammerhead corvette. Heck, I'd sell half my large rebel ships on bricklink for one if they ever made one. As you said, lego hasn't spent much attention on solo or rogue one since their first 2 waves and I would hope that they are going to tap the WEALTH of sets they could make from it. Hopefully we'll get more focus on them after the IX sets, if nothing else.
