any idea if during those 40% discount days there will be also a discount on some UCS set, or only those small ones?

Depends which country you are in. Europe gets 10% off most Star Wars sets (which has included UCS in the past). US just gets double VIP points on SW sets, and no discount. 

Won't know which sets have 10% off until it goes live. We know the snowspeeder won't be discounted though.

Ok thanks for the info

Is it normal for this many (stolen?) UCS sets to end up on eBay a week before release?  And why would anyone pay inflated prices to a dodgy seller when you can go the LEGO Store and buy the set...next week?

Yes, this may be about a new 2017 release, but are we talking about the release or the fact that they are on Ebay early?  If it doesn't pertain to the new release discussion or information, please refrain from placing it here and put your comments in the correct forum.  

I can already sense the complaining, whining, and crying that is forthcoming from the 2018 news thread...

And the 2018 threads are already made, we will place them when we feel the time is right.

I'm sorry.  I wasn't sure which forum was more appropriate.  I see now what you mean.
I am eagerly and patiently awaiting any news about 2018!

In France as well I saw on hothbricks, so then very likely the whole EU region

Do we know when or if the R3-M2 polybag will be available at US Lego stores?

Sheesh man have some faith in your boys!

Regarding the summer wave have all sets been confirmed? As in there are no more sets coming out this summer besides what we already know of.

We actually do know which sets will be discounted, it was mentioned some time ago here too, brickset listed them as well. The first one is announced since a week.

I don't think the discounts in the US have been revealed yet.  All we US AFOLs know is double VIP points, R2-D2, and the Snowspeeder.

What about the shipping for EU?

I wanted to buy the AT-ST and the Landspeeder (plus something more to reach the 65€), but they are in different days. So, for example, if I buy the landspeeder in a different order, I would pay 6€ more, so there is no practically discount here.

Question is if one can call lego and ask if they can hold an order and ship all together?

[Hold0511]

I tried asking Lego the 'hold' shipping question last year (bit cheeky but if you don't ask...) but no go.

June 1st in the US but May 1st if you live within distance of LEGOLAND Malaysia or one of the certified stores in Singapore.

I wish their sales would make sense financially and go at least to Amazon levels and completely free shipping :P.

I'll probably skip out on the sales this year, especially with the lack of a unique minifigure.

It could be from the aprit fools thing, heck I don't know, thought it was worth passing on anyhow

The April Fools was different. Though this does have the confidential watermark. Screenshot it guys!

[Hoth Rebel]

Sounds more like a fanmade picture if you ask me.. The wording next to the MF looks off as I can't see TLG say things as 'slightly updated figures'. Besides that all of the text are basically already mentioned everywhere which makes it very easy to put it in a fake post. 

The UCS Falcon is coming, but we should all wait and see when and where.

I'm pretty sure I saw this a couple of months ago and it was confirmed as fake.

Anyway, even if I don't remember correctly. Could someone really think that quotes like "model like the previous version will boost nostalgia sales" or "slightly updates characters will excite collectors" are used in business?

That looks like a parody from Robocop or Demolition Man.

[LOBOT-OMY]

Fake news again??!!!

glad that was not a real one as I expect to see some interior for this upcoming UCS MF if the price range is closer to 800$.
