We know something is coming, but what is it?

Something Dr Who related, methinks. UCS Dalek using R2 D2 as a design base or a new jacket for the man himself....

[dcdfan]

GBHQ or BBB (Big Big Ben)...

[Neosphinx]

Retirement of the Death Star

Retirement of the Death Star

There's a video for that...

I'm figuring something STAR WARS related.  It's been too quiet and no major new STAR WARS sets have been introduced as of yet.  I would put money  on some new UCS set at some point here in the next month or two.  

The old rumors were about an AT-AT, so I wonder if that pans out.

75098...?

75098...?

Could be...That's a STAR WARS number, but Brickset has it as a 2016 set.  I would think LEGO would release it before The Force Awakens.

Apparently it has been delayed till 2016 but these days it´s hard to know who and what to believe. Strange that they would launch such a major set outwith the major channels and on a weekend, only in the US. Maybe they preview it there and do the launch in January so as not to get involved with TFA.

If this pans out, I have to liquidate some stocks.

It's entirely plausible that the next UCS Star Wars set is EP7 related. If so, it might give away too much plot, therefore i can understand why they might not release something like that until 2016 which would be just a few weeks after the film releases.

So for this Comic Con, i would guess it's not SW related, and lean towards GBHQ or BigBen (if those rumors have validity).

If it pans out, I will cry (joy).

Big Ben is the wrong demographic for that type of show and GBHQ seems a litle soon. Maybe an extension of an existing line like Dr Who or TBBT.

Another UCS set. Pretty soon UCS sets will outnumber regular SW sets

[mfortunek]

LOL I kinda thought we'd have a day at least to ponder the question - but it's already been answered.  About an hour after I posted this poll.

Yeah, I know. This was a lot more fun before Nexo Knights popped out of the birthday cake.

[dcdfan]

So very lame...

[gregpj]

Some of the new parts are cool, but yeah .. these won't be making their way into our house.

There appears to a 1x1 trans stud on the blue castle that has a peak to it ... why would they not have used that for the Louvre arch set? I don't get the designers lately..

[dcdfan]

This is all I see...

[Ed Mack]

Yeah, I guess I was just hoping about a new UCS set, but after the last "major" announcement of the Bionicle theme coming back (which is a great theme by the way), the announcement is probably about Nexo Knights.

[citymorgue]

Will this be the only major announcement from Lego???

I'm dying over here to find out what's in store for the rest of the year and early next year.  I need to start planning money out!!!

It's just odd how hush hush they have been able to keep these last few big sets quiet.  Throughout the year everything predicted has been correct, even including last year, but this year, there are so many different types of rumors, I seriously don't know what to think about it anymore.

Yup. That list all came to fruition except 75098, which didn't even have a number so...
