[gregpj]

This one is for you LEGO, inspired by @BrickLegacy and brought to you by Brickpickers everywhere.

Can I post this!? It's a file on my personal Google drive.

I, too, have viewed the latest leaked photos on other sites, and I hope that the shadowed MF that is the corner of the box is a hint at a really super freakin' awesome MF next year.  I don't care if it's a remake of 10179 (or something close).  I'm in.

I honestly don't think it will hurt 10179's value, because that is just a completely different set, from a different time.

Very disappointed in this set though.  No need to buy another.

My heart died a little today.

As a illogical fan first and reseller second, I wanted 75159 to make my 10188s (I only have 2) worthless because it is so amazing. 

Instead, it made my 10188s worth less because it is 10188.

Thanks guys  

The picture should still be up on Reddit.

At least the average BP-er can build an entire army of Death Stars ....

I seriously think so despite the tone of my messages here and on reddit. That actually looks like a tease.

I took a pic of my screen before the VIP note was taken down. Can post if allowed.

I'd be curious to see that VIP note.  Go ahead and post, and if it's not appropriate, we'll take it down.

This looks more like a management decision, I'm sure the design team was told to just refresh the 10188.

Then management needs to do the designer video for this as well. They cannot just show up to proudly introduce great things like the Porsche

I think the new box will have a huge part out value.....

He is most likely at a TRU parking lot trying to move those ASAP

[dcdfan]

No. The NEW one.

This death star is incredible firstly its the first set to have the rumor tag removed before the official announcement the first set we bent the rules on posting pics on and the first to tease a way better follow up set. Truly a ground breaker in every way other than design.

[CM4Sci]

Yeah, that's real too ! 

[redghostx]

Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.

So this one still doesn't come with a helicopter? I'm not interested...
