75192 - UCS: Millennium Falcon 2017

[exciter1]

The newest picture was created by CM4Sci precisely to show how easy it was to fake a box image, he never tried to trick anyone and made it clear from the start...
 
 

Shoot! I already have 3 pre-orders.

Fake News and sets have infected LEGO.  Is there nothing sacred?

I would be happy with a similar 7500+ piece set that was pictured on the box above.

Nice overview of all the so called leaked photos of the UCS Millennium Falcon and pointing out why they are fake. There's even a shout-out to @CM4Sci in the video!

I honestly don't care if Lego releases "classic set reissues" market rehashes for what they are, remakes. Which wasn't the case with this set and Winter Toy Shop.   I know this was done in the early 2000s with the classics theme.

10188 was among the 2000-2010 "exclusive sets where buy-in price was extremely important than ever as it meant the difference between a $50 less or $50 profit after fees.  Plenty of folks made profits on their 10188 even after the 75159 pics surfaced- it was just a smaller profit.

Here are probably potential top secret Blueprints of the upcoming  UCS Millennium Falcon.
We can see there will be 12 bags, most of he parts remain the same as per se original Millenium Falcon from 2007.

Anyone expecting an announcement at SDCC?

Brickset has now been updated and 75192 is now listed as an UCS set.

Gonna reshare what I posted on the Brickset Forums

I think I helped solidify this rumor a little more

This week, the fake image I made made its way to Kim Thomsen who is one of the higher ups at LEGO I think, anyway he immediately classified it as a leak and asked people not to spread it. 

 

 

So is it just me or did he involuntarily confirm 

A. A Falcon is coming

B. He hasn't seen it but was told it was coming, and my photoshop was sooo good that he fell for it (and had my Ideas projects (one w/ over 6k supporters) and account deleted...)

C. IF he's seen it the above image looks very similar to it enough for him to think it was real. 

 

Hmm...

Thats a bit harsh, it was an April fool wasnt it? Ok you might of raised a few hopes up but thats not worthy of deleting accounts or getting too upset about! IMO.

If they consider your photoshop skills that good maybe you should offer them freelance design services for future releases  

Lego has obviously taken disneys advice on security of this product, rumour and source info is all we are getting. Hurry up and release some info will ya Lego!

Oh and Yeh #freeCM4Sci

[ravenb99]

I thought it's been confirmed knowledge a falcon has been coming since like... They just don't like pics.

So I'm trying to follow here. Someone at LEGO took your April Fools joke Photoshop. Then showed it to someone at TLG. That person was so shocked to see it they they felt it was an internal leak and not fan made. Then identified it was you (a non-LEGO employee), and felt that your Ideas account needed to be deleted?

That's my understanding of it... they didn't give me a reason other than I was "caught sharing confidential information belonging to The LEGO Group" and this happened the day before. I also shared the London Bus images that were on LEGOs cache an hour  before they announced it but that's too narrow a window IMO. Still waiting on a response from Kim, the employee.

Or maybe because you are circulating fake images under various trademarks ?

The specific reason was confidential information, not trademark violations - plus this was meant to be a joke, not a trick

[ravenb99]

Maybe should have Shewie ask Jamie next time he sees him??

[Armor]

I would have to wonder what tlg is doing but then again I remember that there is no understanding tlg.
