Check out the official pictures of sommer set 75180... on the backside at the right of the box. I think this could be the new MF UCS.

 

Hmmm, interesting cockpit piece.

The mandibles look thick and very detailed.

That truly might be an interesting find - I can't match it up with anything that we've seen before.

Looks smaller, yet more detailed.

When RE was first previewed people were speculating that already, but it was largely dismissed. Maybe it was too early for some to believe, but I'm not even totally sure if it's Lego

That better not be the upcoming UCS Falcon - it's way too small.  The front of these mandibles just have a rounded 2X2 plate on the front of them.  Maybe there's one stud above the plate, for a total area of 2X3 studs at most.  I think all that thickness on the side of the mandible is just 2 studs high, plus the height of top (and bottom?) plates.  10179 has an area of 4X3 on the front of the mandibles and the greebling on the side of the mandibles is a full three studs tall, along with the height of the top and bottom plates.  Leave it to Lego to pour 6000+ pieces into a model 2/3 the size of the original.  If this is the upcoming UCS Falcon, it only helps the value of 10179.

Smaller in physical size...more detailed...more pieces...higher MSRP seems to be the new order of the day.

If anything that's a slightly modified 7778 Midi Falcon.  I wouldn't view a picture of Han's ship on the box art of a set featuring Han and Chewie as any kind of sign either, but I'm crazy like that. 

[Klownicle]

Considering the rest of the deck on the box itself that is visible in the "background" is Lego.  I wouldn't put much stock into a random picture of a falcon.

Someone just posted another probable fake image of the box art over at reddit (main lego page not legoleaks)

I'd say 100% fake !! Font on the left looks wrong, too thin.  Plus the box artwork looks terrible !! Bland as **** !!!! 

[CM4Sci]

Good morning guys

 

Fake.. worse photoshopping than yesterday's

I wouldn't even waste your inclusive data !!! ;o)

If this isn't something, it is highly unusual. I know in that snippet, it looks small - but while a little smaller than the 10179 (maybe 85%), it would be (if real) a good sized UCS (with more detail).

Well, I don't know fellas, I've just seen the reddit photo, to me, this seems legit... Who would have an interest to make such a damn good fake?

[Alpinemaps]

Here's the image. I'm somehow posting this between fits of laughter.

[Pseudoty]

Not sure from that pic but does it come with both the round and square radar dishes

I have no idea if that is real or not, but to me, its fake because the font looks off on the text on the left side of the box.  Too narrow compared to what i see on the Sandcrawler and Snowspeeder boxes.  Its a really good job, but I would honestly be disappointed if that was it.

[edgecrusher]

It's a little blurry and difficult to tell, but it also appears this "Milennium" Falcon may only come with one "L".

[tomazed]

At least my yesterday's comment about getting the preview on its stand in a corner was taken into account... Now the faker still need to work on the light and the lame background and we might get somewhere...

Ho and what's up with the flare ? Come on, what's next ? Glitter ? Just because you put thousand into Adobe After Effects does not mean you should use it...
