Ed Mack Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 From what I have heard it is a playset to replace 10188. Not a highly detailed UCS ship. Just rumors but those rumors usually pan out. Yes, I have heard the same thing. Probably will replace the 10188 if true. It works for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TabbyBoy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Too be the biggest hoarded set to date if that is the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Mack Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Too be the biggest hoarded set to date if that is the case? A new Falcon play set? Think 10188. People might think the set will have another 7-8 year production run if it is a play set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatpoppa Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 A SW nerd mate of mine tells me that this is how light sabers look in a freezing cold air environment. Make of that what you will, but I buy it lol. Not so - see Ep V, Hoth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dubzero Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Well, even if there is a new UCS Falcon now, it is based on the newer version with the different radar dish, so IMO, it won't have a negative affect on the old 10179. If anything, it will be positive in that people will want both versions. It will have different minifigs of the new characters too. Like an old Han Solo? It makes sense that the new dish is square since Lando knocked the old one off in ROTJ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Time to start putting some Mace Windu or Lando heads on stormtrooper bodies and offer "exclusives". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes sense that the new dish is square since Lando knocked the old one off in ROTJ. Both good points. If the ship remains the same basic design with a few tweaks here and there as to indicate repairs or improvements, the older versions of the ship will not be affected IMO. This looks to be the case. It really is the best of both worlds. There will be a whole new batch of highly collectible sets being released and the older versions will bump up in price from the renewed interest in everything STAR WARS.

tractorboy Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 so do I sell my one, first edition 10179 for this Christmas or hang on to it another year? I would be asking if investing the money made from selling it, would make more money than any potential increase in price. You could probably double whatever you make from selling it through smart investments, much sooner than its price will ever double. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you're in this game solely to make money then you have to not get sentimental about sets. You're point is logical but it would take a strong man to part with the holy grail. Probably never will there be a more valuable and iconic set than the original UCS Falcon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that logic, I can see how someone could justify investing in sealed 10179s now, seriously. If Lego doesn`t release any competition, the sky really could be the limit. $10000? $15000? More? Anyone`s guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone`s guess.Many people would probably think your crazy but in the past year I've seen this grow from around 3K to around 4k. It's one of those investments that not very many will make but those who do will probably make a killing and be selling it for 6k-7k by the time it hits DVD.

Darth_Raichu Posted November 28, 2014 Share Posted November 28, 2014 Finally, someone got the balls to create / design a new kind of lightsaber. Check out the hilt of that Sith lightsaber The new MF looks flatter than the one from OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonysbricks Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I guess I am in the other camp on 10179. If I had any I would make sure to sell them in the next 3 weeks. Price has been flat last 12-18 months for used and new has gone way up. With the risk of another like set coming, and we know how those can destroy new value, I would take the profit and run.

Huskers1236 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I can't stop watching the trailer and getting chills when the Falcon shows up. The girl's speeder sounds alot like the podracers from Ep1 and the effects of the MF doing the loopty loop are just like Star Trek that JJ did. Same studio?

jaisonline Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 After 30 years, I can't believe Han and Chewbecca still haven't installed the correct radar dish on the MF after Lando ruined it. Granted the new one gives the MF a slimmer look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KShine Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 the effects of the MF doing the loopty loop are just like Star Trek that JJ did. Same studio? My son (who didn't know that JJ had done them both), also commented at that point that it looked like Star Trek. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inversion Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 That lightsaber is too flashy to be considered cool. Pure red would have been enough. And yeah, the overly stupid droids... they hurt. The MF and X-Wing scenes are fantastic though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
