These mods are looking pretty awesome so far. I guess my problem with the set is the lack of detail underneath it more than anything else.

For anyone Interested about what steps you pass the piece count for the 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon and the 10189 Taj Mahal here it is. I worked with a calculator for about 30 minutes going through the instruction booklet to get this information and if it is all accounted for then these would be the steps to surpass each set. For the 10179 LEGO UCS Millennium Falcon you will reach 5197 pieces in bag 12 of 75192 on step 920 which can be found on page 367. For the set 10189 Taj Mahal you will pass over 5922 pieces in bag 13 on step 1027 which can be found on page 398. I am actually adding up the number of pieces in each bag so I may or may not post those piece amounts on here as well.

I don't know if anyone else got one but I got a code for free 2 day shipping for the Millennium Falcon. Now as good as it is, it is unusable and probably will be useless even on October 1st. Instead of a code for free shipping LEGO could have done something much better for people who missed out and were standing in line hoping to get a set. There are 125 Lego Retail Stores in the country and for each store they should have given out around 10 codes for people who would not get it physically. The code will take you to a special website where only 1250 Falcons will be on sale because of the amount of codes they will hand out to you. Also any sets not sold before October 1st would be automatically moved to the general release to the public. This idea may sound stupid to some people, but I think it would be a lot better than having people waiting hours in line for disappointment of not getting a Millennium Falcon until 2 months later.

My store told me the Mall there in will be open at 6am so I plan on staying outside of the mall for 2 hours until the doors are open.

I am not too sure about that one yet. I would think that there is a calendar for the EU talking about promotions over the month but then again I have no idea.

That box is huge! I haven't seen it in person but I did see the Falcon. I think that may be bigger than the LEGO Duplo Black Castle Box.

Its kind of tempting to get the New Falcon set in October instead of September 14th because of the Double VIP Points, but at the same time I really don't spend mine that much.

The UCS Millennium Falcon looks Fantastic and has blown my Expectations away. I still wish there was a Lando Calrissian and a Bespin Luke figure in this set, but the Falcon itself looks amazing.

I guess I was right about Cloud City being on the Upper Right Corner of the page if its the same cover as the instruction manual.

I had that problem with the VW Beetle last year where it wasn't available on August 1st but the very next day.

An hour outside? I am going to stay outside for around 3 to 5 hours to secure the $800 Transportation system they are including.

Hmm, I will have to look at the picture again. I am still not convinced its the actual picture until the reveal date on Friday.

I just thought about this, but I hope the Gunner Seats on the New Falcon are represented a lot better than what 10179 did. I think it would also be nice if the seats were on the top and bottom of the Falcon.

You know that would be a pretty cool piece. I thought I've seen a piece matching your description in a lego set, but I can't remember what theme or set it is from. Edit: LEGO set 76048 Iron Skull Sub Attack has these type of pieces for Captain America and a Hydra Driver to breathe underwater with. Hopefully we get this piece in the new MF set.

I wish, but that would surely never happen

Thats what I am saying, I can see the telephone pieces are moved a bit on the rear, but it does look too similar to the first version.

The bottom part of the supposed leak has all of the same plates as the last version, at least in the back of the ship. If this was a new UCS Millennium Falcon and all of the plates were changed a bit on top then why not the bottom?

I would be fine if this is a fake also. There are some pieces that are smaller in this set like those Exhaust Ports in the front. The Falcon does look like there were pieces swapped and added onto. So it could be a fake or real. Kind of wish the set had 8000 pieces instead though

I hope the new UCS Millennium Falcon will stay as thelargest LEGO set ever, I can't really see another set top the piece count.

Actually it could be the same size as the last one. As you can see with this article it shows how accurate 10179 was with the movie version of the model. There are some pieces that are too big or too small when compared between the two. If the new UCS Millennium Falcon is smaller this time then hopefully it will be a change so small that it would be hard to notice.

I am sure this is unlikely to happen, but I want a Top Hatch that can open and close.

I wish the Falcon could be done in scale as the one in Lego Star Wars The Force Awakens Videogame, however we wouldn't be getting an interior if that happened because the set will have to be bigger to reach the supposed 7500 piece set. Also I am talking about the cockpit interior seen in the game not the old UCS Falcon and TFA Millennium Falcon set seen in the cutscenes.

The price does not bother me at all of this set. However if there are parts of the set that are smaller then hopefully it will be more accurate than 10179. Someone actually did a comparison in shape and size of the original Lego Millennium Falcon and the Movie set Millennium Falcon. There are some shapes that can be downsized or changed to look it very accurate to the source material as seen in this picture.

Actually someone either got an email or mail from Lego with an Advertisement saying The largest LEGO set ever is coming soon. That picture can be found on the Brickpicker Forum for the UCS Falcon and I think there is an image of it on here as well. I just hope that the set is the same scale as the last one because it would be disappointing to have it even a stud smaller than the last version.

From what I can tell of the teasers we got from LEGO so far is that the box looks like it could be the back of the box showing off some kind of interior, and that the Instructions would be showing the art style of the front of the box with the Millennium Falcon flying in Bespin. Thats what I see when I look at the pictures people have photoshopped so far.
