75192 - UCS: Millennium Falcon 2017

[ISO8T0]

Damn. Nice find@LegoBro

[ravenb99]

after initial hype I just can't see this set moving well in store to begin with.  The $300+ sets do not move quick as it is.  Now throw another $500 on there.  Other than a few die hards that want a perfect box I just don't see it.

Just saw this on Twitter... Looks like a new photo with the box and a few (hopefully not all) of the mini figs!

Box looks awesome.  Old school Falcon.  

On the wheeled box topic, I like it, but for $800.00, they should put it in my car!

Only 4 minifigs? That's gonna be a disappointment.. That must not be the final fig list

Only 4 mini figs? Hopefully there's more... And no signs of the swappable satellite dish that was rumored... What do you guys think?

[Shewie]

So I won guessing game as the only person who typed there will be only one, single Dish without the second one, the TFA one.

Still not definite but looks that way... I would think there will be TFA mini figs since there was a BB-8 in the teaser trailer, and if there are TFA mini figs there's still a chance for the swappable satellite dishes, but obviously no visible signs from the new photo.

Maybe they forgot to add Obi-Wan and Luke for the ad.  It probably has more figures and options.

Hold your horses...I really don't think that is all.  Where is the UCS plaque?

They are going Apple way, you will receive extra gold sticker with UCS logo so you can put it on your 2003 Civic sedan.

If the set only has 4 minifigures, that would be a disappointment.  We are missing R2 as well.

Apple gives out stickers?  I never got one!

You'll be able to tell who the resellers are ... Buying to build? Pull that box with pride. Buying to sell? Carry that thing out to your car like it's a newborn.

Just letting all of you know, those transport boxes will be worth something in the future, so care for them.  That is all.

Looks like premium packaging similar to the Porsche 911. Expect a plush manual which will help to explain the size of the box. Problem will be how to store given the size.

Time to unload dead stock asap and make some serious space in the loft.  It's getting them up the loft ladder that I'm concerned about ?

Let´s hope they don´t make a repeat of 911boxgate and have the thing out of stock for 2 months while they fix the issue! Or maybe that would be a good thing.

Apple gives out white logo stickers from time to time. 

Honestly, who needs stickers if sturdy attachments are included to make the box resemble carry-on luggage that needs to be checked.  The large box alone will generate so much PR for LEGO.  Imagine all the news outlets reporting about this set's box.

Shipping this set to secondary market buyers isn't going to be fun. Laos Sorta Risky flip if the initial sold-out period is short.

There was not a BoxGate but #Instructiongate if we are thinking about the same "Shift Sequence" mistake straight from instruction.

They are still making those. They didn't fix anything.

it was OOS for 2 months because they wrongly estimated the potential demand.

the supply for new MF will be extremely limited at the beginning (in store) can't say much about the Warehouse supply at the start.
but can't expect anything more than Saturn V and Porsche scenario from this set.

It's gonna be a matter of minutes? hours?

[KShine]

There is a ton of risk in dealing with this one - I for one will not be rushing in.

It was out of stock so they could figure out a way to rearrange the inner boxes to avoid damage as reported by early buyers. Boxes moved to one side in the final version.

I like what hothbricks typed about the box.

https://www.hothbricks.com/75192-ucs-millennium-falcon-teasing/

Translated = "Even if it really makes sense because of leaks that have occurred recently, LEGO imperturbably continues to decline his operation teasing that will lead us to the announcement of LEGO Star Wars  75192 Millennium Falcon , scheduled for September 1 next.

Today, we announced that the box set will not fit into a plastic bag LEGO like the ones you get when you go for something in a LEGO Store. Good luck to all those who take the subway with the LEGO box above fitted with its wheels and its handle.

I wonder how LEGO will manage the delivery of this set for orders placed on the Shop @ Home.

With fifteen kilos on the scales and a large volume, the box will be packaged to withstand a few days of transport and many manipulations that will take place before the package arrives at the end customer.

As for me, to trace on the outside of the package, I will refuse it without even taking the time to listen to the delivery of the explanations that obviously try to get me to sign and leave empty-handed ...

For those who do not know, when you receive an order placed on the Shop @ Home , the content is damaged (crushed box, for example), a simple call to LEGO sales department provides an alternative set of relevant and label back to return the cost of the brand damaged product. But we must go drop this off at the Post Office. In this case, refuse delivery may be more sensible than going to queue with fifteen kilos on the arms."

Agreed. Unless there is a significant premium where you clear a few hundred after fees and postage one to stay well clear of. Risk is huge with this one whether it be fraud, damaged in transit etc. Still on the fence whether this will be a day one purchase for me. May hold off till Double VIP or discounts become available since I can't see this being an everyday purchase meaning supply will be an issue

Refusing delivery is going to leave you without $800 and without a set. Not sure I'd prefer that option ....

While I don't like this approach, it's not necessary true.  Declining delivery (displayed in tracking history) followed up with a phone call or email about the exterior box being damaged gets you a replacement mailed or refund.
