Shall we have a game to predict when the first leaked photo of the real box will surface? If early release is Sept 14th then I´d say by 29th August we should have something.

We need that, and we need a guess the piece count, and guess the minifigures.  I'll put together a poll later today.

Speedorz Fire Bikes for those with the most off guesses, right?

Nope.  I'm a cheapskate.  No prices.  Just bragging rights

So far, I'm thinking this:  Number of parts in the set, date of pic leaks, minifigs that will be included, and radar dish style

Anything else?

These might not be available on leak day but could be fun:

Box dimensions (L + W + H)
# of stickers

Sounds a bit complicated for a poll. I´d say photo leak date and part count/box weight are more than enough.

To extend the build fun, LEGO has implemented its first "sticker for each brick" set! You will receive a full complement of stickers to apply to an entire box of white bricks. We have even provided white stickers for the white bricks so no part of the experience is lost!

I'm setting up an alt thread.

can it be a mess up when it is constantly done year after year, set after set

 

[Scatterbug]

So what kind of numbers are we talking by QF'ing this hunk of junk?

[lazuli16]

The fact that bogusbricks hasn't gotten their hands on it leads me to believe that this may not leak.

[Alpinemaps]

Play the UCS MF Guessing Game here:

Here's what you're guessing on:

1. Number of parts in the set
2. Date the pics of the set will be leaked (US/EDT date will be considered the date)
3. List of minifigs that will be included (be specific, e.g., Hoth Han Solo, etc - note, BB-8 is a freebie)
4. Radar dish style(s):  OT, ST, or both

Only put guesses in that thread.  Winner gets bragging rights.

Too bad the link mentioned largest "STAR WARS" set.  If it was all LEGO sets, it would have had to have been bigger than this...

So this is where the idea for Assault on Hoth came from.

[starwarsxpress]

glad the force friday mailer from Lego cleared up that it will be the largest set ever

would guess the Chima set is a custom set that since it did not go to retail it does not count

Who?

It would be cool if the new set included all minifigs who rode in the MF onscreen. 

ROTJ Lando, ROTJ Numb, Farmboy Luke, nearly any Leia, nearly any young Han plus old, ANH Kenobi, R2, 3PO, Finn, Rey, BB-8, and Chewie.  Heck, ESB Lando and Luke could even be used  

Come to think of it, I don't think Lego had made a Nien Numb mini dig yet.

We already got a new Lando in his ROTJ outfit from the newest version of the A wing, but I would like to get a Brand New ESB version of Lando and Nien Numb would be a cool figure as well.

Seeing some discounts on 10179's now starting to come through. If there's a downward spiral as people panic and want to offload will look to pick one up on the cheap

I'll give them £500.

Does that include the 2 stormtoopers and 2 scanners from ep 4?

According to a German Lego-Blog, a store-employee let slip a few more details, mentioning the weight of the set to be about 15 kg ( 33lbs), making it again a good deal heavier than 10179 (11kg with box and instructions)

" By the way: the weight of 15 kg (33lbs) for the new UCS Millennium Falcon could go well. Thus the predecessor model (10179) including cardboard and building instructions weighs about eleven kilograms (22lbs). "

Ok I'll give you a full translation of the article

Yesterday, PROMOBRICKS reader Holger M. bought the Ninjago City Set in a LEGO store and chatted with the store staff about the upcoming LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192), which will be  available from September 14th 2017 for  VIPs and will be  released for all customers from October 1st.

According to the staff, the Millennium Falcon, including packaging and building instructions, will weigh around 15 kg and cost 799.99 euros. According to Holger, Holger has also put himself immediately on the "list", in order to be able to hold the Falcon in the hands right at the sales start . His name is number 24 on the list - and the list will surely grow substantially.

By the way: the weight of 15 kg for the new UCS Millennium Falcon might well fit. The predecessor model (10179) including box and building instructions weighs about eleven kilograms. The new Falcon should not only be the biggest set of all time but also the heaviest!

Porsche 42056 is 5kg so 15kg is ballpark when you include that massive manual and the box.

So....now I'm just trying to figure out how to afford one, and then how long it will be in production.....although I predict that will be a long time.
