p8nt4lyfe Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Hey Guys, Maybe you've seen this already but some kid won a Lego Star Wars room. Most of the stuff in his room consists of custom large scale builds like trees and lampshades, but there is a UCS R2-D2, Ewok Village, and a Millennium Falcon on his wall. The MF looks significantly larger than the current one, but smaller than the 10179. Might Lego have taken the piece count from 10179 and applied it to a detailed interior? The MF doesn't look nearly as epic as the 10179, but it does look big, and is possibly more in line with the Sandcrawler (i.e. not to mini fig scale but uses advanced building techniques/has playability) Anyways, I took 2 screenshots and wanted to get everyone opinion on if this is an upcoming set? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 If that's supposed to be the next UCS Falcon, 10179 will only go up in price. It's bigger than 7965 for sure, but not anywhere close to 10179. Could be a MOC or prototype as well, I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregpj Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 Was probably cheaper to moc one up than buy second hand off eBay. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8nt4lyfe Posted May 29, 2014 Author Share Posted May 29, 2014 If anything, with all of those pieces at their disposal they could've built 10179, but they didnt... Maybe they were given special permission to use an upcoming design? Yes, it's not as big, but it very well could open up to a UCS style interior...

TheOrcKing Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 I think that version is just a modified MOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

biniou Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 The radar is too small, the top is too flat. I think it's a MOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodlenut Posted May 29, 2014 Share Posted May 29, 2014 It looks like a 7965 with more details. It has the same size for the round part, but bigger "pointy-things" in the front. Nevertheless, if this is the rumored 2015 Falcon, I will be selling my 7965 to buy this one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p8nt4lyfe Posted June 14, 2014 Author Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah, I think it looks quite cool. I loved building my 10179, but it fragility and lack of playability is a bit of a turn-off. I sure hope this is real, but I guess well just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Guys, Maybe you've seen this already but some kid won a Lego Star Wars room. Most of the stuff..... Gonna go out on a limb here and say yes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoNotInsertIntoMouth Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 Yeah I don't give any clout to any of those rumors just yet - don't know that they would make one Without copying the movie one, and who knows if that one is even drawn up completely. Maybe later this year, but who knows. That one doesn't look all that great though. Probably a MOC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holleman67 Posted June 14, 2014 Share Posted June 14, 2014 I would imagine with the rumors of it being in the new movie they would revamp the millennium falcon as the current one in production doesn't look too appealing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegoAidan Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I'm currently getting some money to buy a 10179 Millennium Falcon, but i'e heard rumors of a Re-Release in 2015. Should I wait, or just go ahead... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holleman67 Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 If you buy one now and a new one comes out you can always resell the old one and buy a new one Jaisonline has one for sale I believe, pm him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattyman Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I'm in the same dilemma. If i do buy one now and a new one comes out will I lose money? If a new one does come out that is just as good everybody will just stash it away for a few years hoping to gain the same profits. Do you think lego will ever do another limited production run ( excluding technic)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holleman67 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 Very unlikely you will lose money on the holy grail of Lego sets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abri123 Posted June 22, 2014 Share Posted June 22, 2014 I do not believe this is an upcoming set. The room was designed and built by Brightbricks - a UK based company that does worldwide builds, and have Lego Certified Professionals (checkout their website). They do some amazing stuff overall including some massive builds, including the 350,000 piece Durham Cathedral currently being built as a fundraising project for the Cathedral (I'm one of the volunteer builders). I think this is just something they made up themselves to fit in with the bedroom theme. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted June 23, 2014 Share Posted June 23, 2014 I'm not impressed. The exterior looks very bad, and it's quite small as well. I would hate to see this as a production set. Sent from my iPod touch using Brickpicker 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ-EUG Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I was lucky enough to buy the MF 10179 last week, for a fair price. I took the plunge regardless of the all the online rumours MF of the TLG re releasing the 10179. Due to the leaked appearance in new trilogy. If it does happen, then most collectors will buy the new one, weather its going to the same build and piece count that is the real nagging question to be addressed. I don't think a new set be it bigger or smaller will de value the iconic-ness of the 10179. I never thought I'd get chance to own one, due to the inflated value of second hand sets and new sealed ones are just too expensive. I guess it's a sellers market.

Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 It looks like a MOC to me. I can imagine the apple-cart exploding and panic 10179 offloading (when I'll buy one!) if LEGO release an updated version of the UCS MF. They're bound to know it's going to be a winner if they did.
