Saw that olive green as well, like why is that even there?

I looked through a few falcon depictions and the only one where that dark greyish stripe is to be seen is on this one:

Even at that it's not even noticeable and the Lego version looks far too dark.

Somebody better make a specified topic for 'How to display your UCS MF'. 

I plan to also build a coffee table for it, with three T-70 X-Wing's in flight formation with it (2x grey/blue normal ones, and Poe Dameron), as a Force Awakens post-Starkiller Base destruction fly away scene. :)

Those dont have anything to do with rectangular dish, but are just part of "changeover kit" for new movie version. Those two bits go to the front of falcon and make it look a bit different (beefier).

Thanks also to @Stash2Sixx for breaking the rumour so long ago, without that prior knowledge, I would not have been prepared for the wallet busting expense this set represents!

Good to see some positivity for Stash :) You make a very good point. I'm sure he has helped a lot of people in this respect.

As someone who appreciates all Lego Star Wars builds, but has limited myself to collecting the figs, I can't deny I am not disappointed in the fig selection. I would have expected them to have done a Death Star set up with more minifigures representing different scenes / episodes. A good selection may have tempted me to buy it and sell on the build. That way I'd get the figs and someone gets a slightly cheaper Falcon. Not sure why Lego has limited the selection, but maybe they think there will be enough demand anyway, although it seems a bit of a shortfall. Still, my purse will be happier. :)

To be fair the stripe and olive green are a little less jarring on the image of the box, the one I was looking at with all the figs and the display plaque was clearly oversaturated/contrast boosted

Yes, but it's not correct time. Embargo will lift on: Please be careful.

Having an interior was going to be what made me definitely get the new.  My big question is what do I do with my old UCS MF!??

Thanks for the heads up. 

I would have waited for other media to publish, but still thanks for not letting me ruin my life :wink:

Does anyone know will Lego be revealing the Falcon at 4pm today and if so, will it be a stream via YouTube or just announced on instagram / twitter?

I can't wait for the 5-10 pages of mind-numbing debate about whether this constitutes a "real" UCS set because they opted for block lettering over the stupid seal.

Obviously it doesn't count. This is "Ultimate Collector Series" rather than "Ultimate Collector's Series". Totally different thing! :sceptic:
