Not to mention getting 20+ copies of the same battle droid figure we have had since 1999 would be boring, I already have more of those things than I ever wanted... EDIT: Somebody already has motorized the 7662, a bit slow on the gearing but it works: Venator would be a good choice, I think it has a wide appeal, due to the fact it is sort of a mini version of the classic Star Destroyer. The fact the hangar bay could open to show additional detailed areas would be a bonus. True mini-figure scale AT-AT, and motorized? Probably not. I don't want to sell a kidney to buy it. The engineering challenges to build it would be more suited for an AFOL MOCcer, since I doubt Lego could make a model that huge with motors and have it be easy enough a child could build it (I know UCS sets are aimed at adults, but for the most part Lego still makes them easy enough for even a 12 year old child to build if they have experience with previous Lego sets.) My ideas of models I would want to see given the UCS treatment: -Millennium Falcon -Y-Wing -Naboo Royal Cruiser -Podracers -AT-ST -Cloud City UCS Playset -Starkiller Base Wait since when is the venator smaller than the standard model for the star destroyer? I thought it was based off the venator? Some even modified in to one?

Many OT fans would not touch anything PT, while there are plenty of PT fans who enjoy stuff from both the PT and OT. And I do agree with Flandy, none of the PT ships/vehicles qualify as iconic in my book. I will be disappointed if get something from the PT (or anything motorized for that matter). HOW DARE U SPEAK ? ABOUT THE REPUBLIC GUNSHIP :P 9 hours ago, gotoAndLego said: I disagree. I think the Venetor, ATTE, Gunship, and ARC170 are iconic in my book. And to a clone wars fan so is the V-19 torrent I have to agree with everyone here that they're gonna make something from the OT I mean it is the 40th anniversary but maybe this time around they'll give us that AT-AT and I think people seem to be misunderstanding me here; I don't actually find the AT-AT being motorised a necessity it's just something that would really just put the icing on the cake for me and literally make it almost twice as good in my personal opinion as it would just be incredible to see something PLASTIC, that can fall apart SO EASILY and THAT BIG walking it'd just feel purely epic Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ask a fan who was a child during the PT and they will say Venetor, ARC170, Gunship, etc. in addition to the usual OT stuff. A non-SW fan isn't going to spend $500 on a SW Lego set so its mostly irrelevant what they think about expensive Star Wars sets. The prequels are/were garbage. And I do have two kids that grew up during the PT era. They barely remember anything about them, yet they can quote OT stuff all day. When they talk Star Wars, it's only OT. I will concede that the Republic Gunship is a pretty cool design, but we've gotten three of them already. Other than that, nothing from the PT can be called iconic.

Dukeside Posted October 10, 2016 Anything OT. I have to agree the vast majority of the prequel ships are horrible. The basic storylines are fine, but I think they should totally be redone. Force awakens are tolerable, and I have mixed feelings from what I've seen from rogue one, but reserving judgement until I see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jhaelego Posted October 10, 2016 A motorized MTT is a cool idea. I think it would be crucial to include the droid dock in it somehow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Schneeds Posted October 10, 2016 AT-AT. However being motorized would only needlessly increase the cost, which is likely to be quit high anyway. I do find it perplexing that they haven't made a UCS AT-AT yet. A 3,500 piece, close to minifig scale AT-AT for $300 would sell very well. They'd probably charge $400 though ;D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

droid747 Posted October 11, 2016 If i had to pick between the three in the original post, then it would be a venetor. But I personally would like lego to either release a ucs falcon or ucs ISD in 2017. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

An X-wing, yoda, Luke in both his dagobah outfit and his rebel pilot outfit, R2-D2, Darth Vader but with Luke's head and a new mould for the helmet being broken open, the small little camp Luke set up, yoda's hut, and the small cave where Luke actually encounters yoda..... it's just too small for it to really be a UCS set....

Yes good call, I guess I thought if you had the large plates and did a swamp and detailed Yodo hut and Xwing etc, the brick count would be rather high. Yoda's hut was damn good in the movies and loads of detail inside. But we can all have our UCS dreams :D :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robianco Posted October 14, 2016 The original Yoda Hut had the X-Wing along with a form of hut that opened out. I agree though that the set just couldn't justify a UCS tag as a playset. I'm sure there could be a fantastic MOC that would be the right kind of size and brick count but nothing that could really be bought off the shelf with instructions for children to follow.

IMHO, since it's the 40th anniversary of A New Hope, then the other UCS slot has to be taken up by something from that. That narrows it down to an updated release of 10179, Tantive IV or a Star Destroyer really. Edited October 14, 2016 by mickywrx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
