    Finally got a camera and "studio" good enough to take decent and consistent pictures. Will start posting my figbashes and mocs of new and updated minfigs here in the next days and weeks.

    Let's start with one of my favourites, the Mimbanese Soldier:

    Would be ridiculous if it was just a TIE Interceptor, given all TIEs in the past have been 70-80 bucks.

    • FO TIE: 517, 70$
    • TIE Striker: 543 pieces, 70$
    • Kylo Ren's TIE: 630 pieces, 80$
    • TIE Fighter (SOLO): 530, 70$

    The piece count of an OT Interceptor would be between Kylo's TIE and a regular TIE, if not less.

    So I'm suspecting the Interceptor either comes with a lot more minifigs or a sidebuild, or it is in fact not an Interceptor.

    However, the Heavy TIE from Solo could fit the 90$ price tag due to the extra bulk and 2nd pod.

    This is the first time I'm hearing about this alleged fourth Solo set... Has it been mentioned in this thread before? The officer and Chewie could easily be included in one of the other three sets (the latter hopefully with goggles) but the Mudtrooper wouldn't make much sense in either of them... so here's hoping for that rumor to be true :thumbup:

    But there is conflicting info that 75203 is a retailer exclusive Hoth set (info I think from the Walmart shop listing). So the SOLO trench set could be true, but it isn't necessarily 75203, especially as the guy who leaked the V torrent also got the set numbers wrong the first time.

    It's not a guess. Feel free to look back at this post in a month.

    Oh I wasn't quoting correctly. I wasn't doubting the price or piece count. I was doubting that it would come with the FO AT-ST head given that it has less pieces than the RO AT-ST head.

    If you are looking into buying a popular UCS (or UCS style/size) set which currently has 2nd market asking prices wayway higher than original retail prices, only do so if one or both of the following is true:

    * money is absolutely no issue for you

    * you cannot - in any case whatsoever - wait between 5-25 months (depending on which specific set) to get your hands on it

    re-release order can also roughly be guessed by difference between original retail price & current 2nd market prices - the higher that difference, the sooner re-release is likely

    another -very obvious- factor: the closer a specific set in its original release form is to todays standards (and/or easily updated with new elements) the shorter its announcement-release timeframe will be

    all the same goes for creator/town houses/etc, btw..

    expect less new set creations in that (and other) market segments for the upcoming years than we've been spoilt with the recent years.

    Thanks for the info!

    I'll take little news over no news or complaints about rumors all day :wink:

    Earlier in the year, you mentioned the UCS ISD would be next. Is that still up to date?

    All I'm seeing is some random person pulling the "I have a source at LEGO so whatever I say is true" card. Looking through his tiny post history the only thing remotely reputable is him claiming the Falcon would come out around the same time of year as the Disney Castle did, which had already been confirmed by others. Not buying it.

    Also, I'm still not 100% convinced the falcon silhouette on the Death Star box was a hint. It's placed behind Vader's TIE Advanced, and in the movie it appeared at the last second to send Vader packing. I'm sure it was just a design choice to reflect this and it was a happy coincidence that people online took it as a sign and the Falcon did happen to come out.

    Yes, it was a random comment that alone wasn't worth anything, but together with the teasing it's something.

    You don't need to be 100% convinced. I'm also not 100% convinced. Being 100% convinced doesn't matter.

    The point is that we got more than just "wishing and speculation".
