So... has anyone seen todays Millenium Falcon teaser?

I do really hope Yoda's hut comes with Luke in his gray clothes. There is however a possibility TLG will cheap out and give us abother pilot-Luke Can you clarify witch one it is @Sir von Lego ?

Yes please! When was the last system-scale TIE Bomber ? IT WAS IN 2003! - 14 years ago.... Come on LEGO, we need a new one!!! We also need TIE Interceptor (last one was 2006) a set with OT Yoda (last one was in 2004)...

Hehe, If the price is above $600, then it's not gonna be just a play set of the interior. I was thinking Sandcrawler-type playset - i.e. a full exterior, that opens up to reveal rooms inside.

I was thinking just the same. Its very strange that the 40th anniversary of ANH really doesent have any ANH sets (except the Landspeeder set, witch is an exclusive..). The again : TLC's realeases have NEVER followed any logic. Please, could you elaborate... What are we talking about... a full interior, or just partial... Like a play-set, that opens up... or something else?

Is it possible that TLG will use the same mold for Zuckuss' head as they used for 4-Loom? (with a new print ofcourse). Is this possible? The "tentacles", or tubes hanging for Zuckuss head would have to be printed instead of molded. But other than that the Head-shap is pretty similar. I know this probably Isn't what everyone wants - but it significantly increases the chance we actually will see Zuckuss in minfig form...

OK, so the Snowspeeder is confirmed for realease for May 4th. Do we know ANYTHING ELSE about the May 4th event this year? (It is the 40th anaversary of Ep. IV after all). Like double (or tripple) VIP-points, promo-figs, sales, etc. etc. ?

Ok, but what's your source? And do you have any inforamtion regarding the other UCS - sets?

Was that sarcasm, or are you serious? (sorry I can't tell from your post)

You are correct. Cloud City is not a rehash (of an UCS set)...

Is it from the original trilogy?

Wow... Just wow... Maybe TLG have decided to celebrate the 40 year anniversary of Ep. IV after all... So, its going to be UCS Snowspeeder, UCS Falcon and....?

I still can't find the Desert Skiff Escape (75174) or Luke's Landspeeder (75173) in any stores in Norway. Is this the same in other EU countries?

Oh shi... Well spotted! That's the clue right there. It may be nothing, but it's the FIRST real clue pointing towards a Cloud City remake. EXCITING!

It looks like the RA-7 protocol droid from the 2016 Death Star. I'm pretty certain that is a stand-in for 4-LOM. I really hope they make a new mold for 4-LOM's head, since the RA-7 head really doesnt look like 4-LOM. IMO they could make a single mold which could be used for both 4-LOM and Zuckuss (with different printing).

I thought batllepacks always came in pairs, and since the battlepacks on that list both had speeders, I thought they where based on the same film (and some scene in the film with speeders). Furthermore since one battelpack is listes as "First Order", and the other contains dengar+bossk+ig-88 I thought they could not have been from ep. 7, and therefore must be from ep. 8. But as others have pointet out; Ep. 8 sets is not going to be released before september. So maybe my theory is not correct. It still is strange with two battlepacks from two different films in the same wave. Have that ever happened before?

If that list (and the translation) is correct, it would mean that the Bounty Hunters are from the upcoming Episode VIII. If so, thats quite a significant spoiler...

Great news if the UCS MF is getting a re-release. But: I think most people will be disappointed if there are no upgrades. So i really hope lego has put a little bit more effort into this one. Hopefully they have noticed the feedback from the AFOL community. After all, the market for a UCS MF is pretty much only AFOLs. I personally hope they at least make a glass window for the cockpit. I'm also hoping for an interior, but that would probably be very unlikely.

Well, considering 2017 is the 40 year anniversary of Star Wars: Episode IV, the chances ar higher for Yavin 4, Mos Eysley Cantina (or Hangar bay 94) Or... The Millenium Falcon...

Was the winter 2017 sets on sale when you saw them in the store? BR has the same 30 % sale on all lego here in norway, but it looks like they are holding back the new SW sets. Some stores may however not understand the difference, and put them all on sale... Im tempted to check out the 4 closest BR stores just to see... 30 % on brand new sets is a very good deal...

Oh man... I just bought: 75159 Death Star 75146 Advent Calendar 75153 AT-AT 75155 U-Wing Fighter My wallet is hurting! But i feel good...

Yes, I also like it a lot. It's one of the best SW advent calendars to date IMO. BTW: The pictures of the Imp. snowtrooper show him without a "skirt". Is this confirmed? (That would be very dissapointing, since the later models have had skirts).

Thank you!

Could you give me the height and width (diameter) of it? (I'm considering buying the new, but I dont know if I have space on my shelf for it).

After looking closely at the leaked pictures, It's clear that the new DS is actually WORSE than the old. Here are some of the reasons: - The dianoga is now reduced to only one tentacle, and there is not even a printed brick with the eye. The old DS had a complete build, which was very cool (WHY DID THEY DO THIS??? the exotic creatures are one of the coolest features in Lego SW sets IMO) - The red and yellow technic pieces everywhere totally destroys the design. The death star is a metallic grey place for god's sake, not a red and yellow theme park... - There is no interrogation droid (Why?) - The box art is the worst box art on an UCS set EVER. - The price is ridicules - Where are the 200 extra pieces? If you just bought the 10188 don't be sad, be glad. You have the better build, and the old minifigs are easy to replace, most of them are already available. I don't want to overreact, but this is a disgrace to Lego and to the UCS label...
