Whats the rumor for a V-19?

I wouldn't expect that, but for the people who sat out through the waiting list and fought and clawed their way to their falcon, I think we deserve more. I'll call in to my local store and see what info they have.

Shame. Still no nien numb. I was hoping he'd be a gwp. Maybe even a black vip card exclusive, which would be really dirty. On that subject, the whole black vip card is dirty. Halfway through the year and only one month of double vip. Nothing else, not even for may 4th apparantly, which is literally one of the two biggest lego days of the year. Messed up is what it is.

I assumed it was still coming. It's also supposed to be the first minifigure appearance of nien numb

Trailer wasn't bad. Any news on black VIP card promotions? I didn't see any.

Yes they did. It was in a lego ideas reveal when none of the contenders won. When the "I am your father" model came up, they said some models are too close to what we're already developing. They've said other little things in other places, too. Yes and no. Say you were ten then, and now you'd be 29. I would expect someone of this age to be married or close to it, and with a good job and a means to support themselves. However, I wouldn't expect someone of this age to have kids. When that happens, your significant disposable income miraculously disappears. It's only until you've had a kid for a few years can you begin to enjoy certain little things again. I'd say, maybe 35ish. We got another few years, I think. IMOP. But we're far off topic. How about no early y-wing release for vip's?

Some very reliable sources have spoken about a cloud city, and lego themselves have made a few blunder's here and there that are heavily leaning towards cloud city. I never said for dead certain we're getting cloud city, but there's a heck of a lot of evidence towards it. More than a star destroyer. If you're going to say otherwise, I think some detail on your commentary is warrented. However, the guy that pinned down the taj mahal rerelease did say we were getting a star destroyer due for release . . . in february. Point is, rumors aren't always reliable, but some work out while others don't.

Actually, I think a pattern exists for the fall UCS sets. For example, the their was a falcon on the death star (fall set) in 2016, and on the falcon box there was cloud city, which we all know we'll get this year. I don't see a pattern for the may the 4th sets.

Same. I think it'll go really fast. Hopefuly not like saturn v or god forbid the falcon . . .

Interestingly, all the UCS in high demand, save for a tie bomber and and AT-AT, are from the prequel trilogy. Like previous posts, we won't be getting any until the kids who grow up with the prequels have significant disposable income. My guess is we won't see anything for a while, and that we'd see a UCS from the new trilogy before the prequels. Personally, I'd want a UCS Supremacy, but I don't think we'd get it before we'd get an updated Imperial Star Destroyer. For good reason, too. Like the falcon last year and cloud city this year, it's badly in need of an update. I'm going off to college, and save for the modulars, which I've collected since green grocer (bricklinked cafe corner and market street, have every other one), I think it's the one lego set that I'd be willing to spend money on while foraging for ramen. I think it's the same for many other people, and I'd be willing to bet Lego knows this.

Did they really? I was hoping there'd be promotions for black vip card holders. I did notice how there is no early sale for vip in general, as opposed to last year for snow speeder. I expect that is because of the falcon debacle last fall. It'll be a day one purchase for me, but I expect it'll go fast. I really hope there are some promotions, as I was hoping to get the darth vader pod. As for the bb8, I was initially very opposed to it, but it actually looks fairly decent. I wish it was the same scale as r2d2 from last year though

Where can I find the buildable BB8 for may the 4th?

link?

Not as late as I thought they'd be. It looks nice, but with arm printing on the snowspeeder and tie minifigs there's really no excuse for it here.

Cannot believe the calendar won't come out till April 9, which I assume means we won't be seeing anything about the y-wing till then. You would think with the leak they'd go ahead and release it. True, it does look pretty, but what I want to know is the piececount. No doubt the thing will be $200, but I'd like to see something closer to at least 2000 pieces to warrant a purchase, as opposed to 1500-1700 like previous $200 ucs sets. Considering that, I'd rather buy ninjago city or carousel.

Where was the boba fett leaked? It would be fantastic, but I probably wont get it as my lego budget limits me to only one large model this spring, and maybe this year. I'm caught between Ninjago City, Carousel, and the new (hopefully) y-wing. The whole thing makes me wonder about lego right now, especially with the falcon debacle. I still haven't gotten my black vip card (i was able to purchase it before the year ended), and so far we've only had double vip. If we don't even have a may the forth weekend, I don't see the purpose of that card and all the exclusivity it entitles.

Any more news on the rumored y-wing or may the 4th?
