Wow! Now we need only double VIP points and/or good GWPs for pre-order later in August.

Really good use of antistuds! Something I noticed about the old Ghost was the bigger distance between the two large back engines, which made more space for the Phantom I and II. The new Ghost is actually much more proportioned, and the downscales version of the Phantom II makes sense. The piece for the cockpit is perfect.

I think a larger ghost with no phantom is more likely, they can make money by doing they separately and just having them be compatible. Everyone who bought the ghost would be likely to get a phantom 2 set if there was a compatible one next year, and many who don't have the budget to get the ghost would get it so they are getting more sales this way and it could also include some more spoilery characters, allow for a more impressive finished build (the combo) and would allow them to include more figures across 2 sets than they would in 1. Plus maybe they'll include a Zeb in a phantom set. I really hope the set will only include the Ghost. That piece count will be just enough to make a slightly bigger and more detailed version than the previous one, and maybe with a minimum of interior.

Or republic gunships! A hungar with a few microscale ships will definitely be a good and feasible feature without adding far too many pieces. But I don’t think we’ll see any interiors for minifigs, they do fit better a $150 playscale model.

Very happy to see a new version of the Ghost!!! With exactely 50% more pieces than the 2014 version, we can only expect this to be bigger and more detailed, probabily similar to thee 75257 Millenium Falcon. Owning the old one (and intending to buy the new one), can it be wise to sell it before the official release?

Agree, it was rather lame and it doesn’t seem printed. In my opinion, a black katana still does the trick better than what is offered in this set.

I think the N1 microfighter is quite nice and comes with 2 figures. You get what you expect (if not more), better than the heavily oversized playscale set.

Any chance the Swamp Speeder will include plain white clones rather than clones from a specific legion?

I think there are far too many exposed studs to be the final model. The latest UCS sets have quite few exposed studs and are mostly covered by tiles.

Given the Boushh helmet, can we expect that Boushh Leia in the diorama will have her helmet? That is in my opinion one of the finest SW minigures.

Thank you, it looks quite good!

I have seen a few videos comparing the TIE Bomber to the most recent TIE Fighter. Anyone who received the Bomber owning also the last TIE Advanced (75150)? How do they fit together? Do you have a picture?

I just hope it will be bigger than the 2014 one. Happy to pay 200$ for it. Is is by the way a good timing to sell the old Ghost, or best to keep if popularity increases?

The TIE bomber looks nice! Yes, it is scaled down, as they were the last X wing and TIE Fighter, but the compromise size-price is overall good. The main difference from previous models and mocs is the windscreen. Here we have a 4x4 dish, while previous ones had a 6x6 dish with bar handle. So, the body of cockpit and left secion is actually 6 studs wide. There you can picture the different proportions. Now I wonder, will a pilot actually fit in the cockpit? Hopefully there is enough space if the whole front section is attached by studs on the side.

There is now a video of the UCS Razor Crest from Boyond the Brick, and some shorts on Youtube.
