October 10, 20159 yr Yes let's not discuss anything. Anybody got some rumors? No. This is a rumours thread... so if there are no rumours then yes, no discussion ;) Plenty of other threads to discuss other topics.
October 10, 20159 yr Got the free Millennium Falcon build at Barnes & Noble today. It's basically an Advent Calendar sized set. I'd say it basically resembles the 2011 AC build with a few modifications: 1x1 light bley cylinder instead of a trans-clear cone for the cockpit; two grey dishes for the body instead of one; 1x4 slopes for the mandibles instead of 1x3s. It also came with a trans-clear stick, 1x1 cylinder, and a 1x2 jumper tile as a display stand. (A 1x4 would have been a lot better.) Not the greatest build, and since there's already a new MF designed for this year's AC, I don't know why somebody felt the need to reinvent the wheel.

How does it compare to the 75105 Millennium Falcon? Which would you recommend?
October 14, 20159 yr Huh? How could someone compare a micro-build and a system scale set like that? I think he's joking.
October 15, 20159 yr I have no inside information but if the brick bank got unveiled at this late of the game for a January 1st release, I don't see why the UCS Hoth base be any different.
October 15, 20159 yr How does it compare to the 75105 Millennium Falcon? Which would you recommend? Um. One was free. The other is...as far from free as you can get.

Not quite sure what you're referring to, if you're expecting that to be revealed and released before the end of the year it's certainly a possibility. But basing it off the Bank? I see two major issues with your logic 1) The Bank is being released in two months, the Echo base would need to be revealed and released in little over a month. The two have such a major difference in dates, I can't say I agree. 2) The last few modulars have been revealed pretty late in the game, it's commonplace at this point. If Lego was going to release it this year, they'd have told us about it before the Bank.

I think he was implying that he doesn't see why it couldn't also be released around the same time as the Bank... But, that's 2 very expensive sets with no time for wallet relief :P So purely on that, I'd guess it wouldn't happen...

Similar to the detective office and the slave 1....which also put a dent in my wallet :(
October 15, 20159 yr Correct. Similar to the detective office and the slave 1....which also put a dent in my wallet :( The Det office and Slave 1 came out at the same time?
October 15, 20159 yr The Det office and Slave 1 came out at the same time? I'm pretty sure they were both released on Jan 1 last year.
October 16, 20159 yr Does anyone else find it weird that we got a Special Forces TIE set for Ep 7, but it doesn't come with the special forces TIE pilots? Edited October 16, 20159 yr by jhaelego
October 16, 20159 yr I'm pretty sure they were both released on Jan 1 last year. Ahhh... I suppose there is a possibility still then! @jhaelego The pilots that come with it are special forces, just that tlg didnt do the 2 red stripes for some reason...
October 16, 20159 yr Ahhh... I suppose there is a possibility still then! @jhaelego The pilots that come with it are special forces, just that tlg didnt do the 2 red stripes for some reason... That's the only distinguishing feature are those stripes. I'm hoping Lego makes a Tie microfighter with the correct Elite Tie Pilot. Not hard to print some red stripes I would think.
October 16, 20159 yr That's the only distinguishing feature are those stripes. I'm hoping Lego makes a Tie microfighter with the correct Elite Tie Pilot. Not hard to print some red stripes I would think. I think LEGO was in the same boat as I was: I thought the red stripes were reflections. Edited October 18, 20159 yr by Gadzooks
October 17, 20159 yr Hmm, that's odd. The Barnes & Noble page for the Hoth Echo Base I posted a while back has been taken down. Edited October 17, 20159 yr by CM4Sci
October 17, 20159 yr Has there been any news on the USC echo base? I heard a semi-confirmed rumor that there is a new USC MF coming out. If I find the link again I'll put it here. But what it was was a french catalog, and a small section said that the MF is a great set and now it's incredibly expensive for collectors to get it, so lego is going to make it cheaper to get. Now, I don't know if that's a reissue, remake, or a new TFA one, but I hope it's true.

I feel you may have read some reindition of this april fools bricklink article http://brickset.com/article/2887/lego-to-rerelease-ultimate-collector-s-millennium-falcon.
October 17, 20159 yr I feel you may have read some reindition of this april fools bricklink article http://brickset.com/...lennium-falcon. Actually this website was not brickset, nor were they related to brickset
October 18, 20159 yr Does anyone remember when the C3PO polybag is available and how I can get it? something I'd like to know
