Frantically trying to offload my personal 10179 to help cover the cost of the new one. As predicted even at a reasonable price i'm not getting any bites. And everyone is laughing in my face on local posting sites haha "should have sold it earlier bro". My own fault though, as i wanted to wait for a leaked image to convince me i wanted the new one.

I saw your ad and I'm thinking you may want to clarify something. It mentions that it has 0 authentic lego parts. To me that sounds like it was made with bogus bricks or other non-lego bricks... you should reword that.

No problem, glad to help.

Well like said(and it's only my opinion), it's uncanny how random design features are poorly copied into an old design...but I digress...
It's also hard to judge a set on one leaked pic...so if it does have an interior with new fun things we can't see or know at this time, well just have to wait and see...
I'm just comparing one 7500 piece Build to another 7500 piece build...based on one leaked pic-lol
So yeah....I hope it gets better on big reveal day!

It should come with a few boulders to be used as asteroids. 

Also, as others have mentioned, I really hope we atleast get this guy as one of the minfigs.

I've been looking at the leaked pic and adding up the piece count....so far as I can tell, it looks like most the extra pieces are mostly exterior brick built replacements of the original plate builds of the 10179...not to mention an outright ripoffs of marshal bananas 7500 piece built mod ...
It's almost like they just incorporated random ideas from his set into a redesigned reHash of a 10179....long story short...they shoulda put Marshal banana on the payroll and gave us his 7500 piece design

If this is indeed the soon to be released UCS MF, is everyone really ok with it having the same exact canopy as all of the smaller MF sets?  I attached a pic of 75105.  It looks the same to me.  You can only fit 2 minifigures in the cockpit of 75105 but they're not side-by-side.  In 10179, if I remember correctly, you can place 4 miniifigures in the cockpit side-by-side.  I understand that the cockpit was one of the complaints in 10179 but is reducing the size of the cockpit in order to have a "common" printed piece really a desirable upgrade?  The "leaked" pic might be a slightly larger canopy, but it is hard to tell at this angle.  But that is my question, would everyone accept the common canopy or demand a larger one?  Personally I'd prefer a larger one.

I have to agree with you Stud-Flipper, I really want a brand new Lando Calrissian figure in his Baron Administrator of Cloud City Outfit with a cape with front and back printing on it.

The LEGO Cockpit in this leak kind of looks like the new 29096 piece from the LEGO Ninjago Movie Ice Tank set. I wouldn't be surprised if this supposed leak is also a fake since the bottom part of the ship looks exactly the same as 10179 in the way the plates are put together.

It's not the same mold...look up set 70616 the "ice tank" from ninjago line. You'll see a bigger mold used...that's the new custom canopy for the ucs Falcon pictured above.
Marshal bananas pic uses the canopy mold you posted -FYI

I hope you are right...and this pic is a fake but since this pic has been buzzing around the last couple weeks it's had great debate and scrutiny...in fact it actually surfaced 4 months ago.
The thing that gives it away are the new Pieces NOT released yet that are pictured on the 6 huge intakes on the back. Along with other strange finishing pieces greebled randomly.
At any rate this is "probably" what we are gonna get...but like. Said before....I hope we get this instead

Hope it's not this but it probably is...

As good as Marshal Bananas falcon is, I want the new one to be just as detailed as his, but the same size or bigger than 10179. His Falcon while good is not minifigure scale.

I'm still hoping for another tease today, guess we'll find out in a few hours. When I visited the Leicester Square store recently they genuinely didn't seem to know what I was talking about when asking about the MF :(, got one of those mosaics done though. Do we know if they're going to have the built sets on display in stores on the 1st? Because if they do I might pop down and marvel at one!

So....how many stickers is this bad boy gonna come with?

If we can trust the chinese leak, I would say none for the exterior... for comparison, 75105 stickers are mostly details that can be made with lego parts for the UCS for the exception of Computer screens.

10179 sticker sheet only had the UCS sticker and 4 computer pane. Let's hope it stays that way. It's not that I don't like putting sticker, it just feels .. less lego-y

Both versions have positive attributes, but could be improved.  I'm really hoping the new one is better than both.

[KShine]

I prefer the LEGO one (if it's legit) over the marshal one. I also like that they aren't hiding all of the LEGO studs.

We've had more than enough "stud-shaming" - You're LEGO, be proud of your studs!

One day, I predict all LEGO bricks will be studless.  They are too politically incorrect.

I image searched 'studless' and the first non tire image was a studless moc 10179

Just awoke from a dream where my flight was delayed and the airline gave me $600. I noticed that the airport had a Lego store and used my voucher toward 75192. My brain is cruel. See you in my dreams you glorious and expensive Lego monstrosity.

Thank you for pointing out the piece 29096 from the Ice Tank.  I had not seen that piece and could not make up my mind if LEGO had created a "larger" canopy piece.  The printing looks identical to the one used in older MF sets but I could not make up my mind if it was slightly larger  or not.  Guess the Chinese pic has more merit than I was giving it credit.  Here is to hoping it has a quality interior.

Do you think it will be anticipated for Lego VIP member on the 14th of Sep (date when the in store calendar states VIP access for two exclusive sets)?
