75192 - UCS: Millennium Falcon 2017

[Alpinemaps]

It's coming up on 9 am EDT right now, which is 3 in Billund. Usually LEGO puts out info at 5 Billund time.

No announcement yet, but they are playing coy on their Facebook page this morning.

Yup, seems practically confirmed by that tone.

At this point I just want to know what the price is gonna be so I can start stuffing hundred dollar bills into my piggy bank

Alright well sorry everybody, looks like a no show. 4 months of waiting to go..

Today is Friday. They like to do their press releases on Fridays and, in any case, someone is going to leak something well before launch.

It will be very expensive at over 7,000 pieces. I don't think I'll ever be able to justify buying it ?

I love the imagery of a grown man stuffing 100$ bills into a piggy bank with little boy excitement *oh boy! oh boy! oh boy!

I hope you are right.  I also hope it is well north of 6000 pieces as well.

That is so many pieces, but would be very cool.

[exciter1]

How many cheese slopes can they fit on one of these?

To me anyway, if the new Falcon is around 5000 pieces for $800, that would be disappointing to many and not only on this site.   I am not afraid of a bigger and better set.  I am afraid of the same set for almost double the original.

It will be over 7,000 pieces.

Thought? Fake or real?

[Huskers1236]

If real it's the worst box art of all time.

Well, if that´s actual size I can feel the hate coming in.

[tomazed]

Can it be more pixelated ?

Joke aside, can't tell much with that resolution, but huskers' right, if it's real, it's pretty dull

[mattyman]

Think it pretty on par with latest box art. In line with scene re force awakens

[CM4Sci]

I dunno about you guys but I'm not falling for it.

[mattyman]

It's pretty convincing...

What's the story/source of this new photo?
