For comparison: Regarding a new UCS MF ... Consider the fact that 10179 UCS MF was released in 2007 to commemorate the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars (Episode IV, from 1977). Next year in 2017 it's ... the 40th Anniversary of Star Wars. So who know what LEGO has in store for us next year ... That whole image is taken from the Rogue One teaser they showed last year at Celebration... http://www.gamezone.com/videos/star-wars-rogue-one-leaked-teaser-footage-4dh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citymorgue Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 One thing I've found very odd about this years supposed UCS sets, are how oddly hushed they've been. There were rumors that we should've got one late last year, but nothing happened, and so far nothing is in the pipelines, that we know for sure. It's just over the last couple of years, we've had pretty good confirmation about the latest UCS sets, like the Sandcrawler, Slave 1, and Tie Fighter. So what's so special about this year that we haven't had any real concrete evidence of what's to come out??? It's just baffling, and frustrating me because I've been patiently waiting for the next UCS set, and just nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's if we don't get hit by an Asteroid in March. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I think there was. The speculation of Hoth, Death Star and Snowspeeder for this year is why I suggested those 3 time frames. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but these rumors started early last year and were supposed to be the summer UCS sets, then it changed to the winter, then when winter came, everything went quite on the eastern front. All rumors stopped for a few months, and it was as if no rumor had ever come about. I'm seriously surprised we didn't get a UCS set this past fall.

If the Hoth that we sort of saw pictures for was the set that was supposed to come out, a do over would be welcome by me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Yeah, they better get going since the rumors are we're getting like 17 UCS sets this year... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pomodoro Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 There are talks about an AT-ST coming out in October on Eurobricks, as well as a "black droid" constraction figure; The leak is from Sir Von Lego, and seems to be corroborated by a mysterious set list found on imgur (couldn't find it myself though). The so-called black droid could very well be the Shadow Trooper reported there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope so, I was just trying to see if the two leaks could be cross-referenced in any way. I would however expect a potential IG-88 to be gun metal grey rather than black.

Pomodoro Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I would definitely put more trust in Sir Von Lego's claims anyway. I was not holding my breath on the list in the first place, hence the initial wording. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. I clicked your link & read the list, took a screenshot of the list ('cause that's what I do) & then read further that this individual had supposedly posted other bogus lists in the past. Then I deleted the screenshot. I didn't mean anything negative towards you at all. The "strange people" comment was about the poster on the other site... and now...

exciter1 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 I noticed some of the new battle packs use tape seals instead of the glued and thumb punch boxes. We'll see lots of figures stolen and open boxes on shelves this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Up until episode 7 was released, nobody outside of disney studios know what is going on in the new movie, so probably the lego execs decided to delay a bit before deciding on the new UCS.

I use a hair dryer to open them with no damage to the box but can't do the same with tape, it always leaves glue or I can see the seals were open and glued again.

Why are you trying to open boxes without damaging them using a hair dryer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
