Up on US LEGO shop@home site, limit = 5 (for now)

I like the rebreathers on the Han and Leia heads.  Nice touch.  Shame they couldn't have added one for Chewie but not complaining.

Just looking at this initial picture and observing all the great sets in the background... Slave 1, Vader's Tie Advanced, the Stormtrooper Helmet... wait what?  Is this an unreleased set or an indication of something to come?

I'd love to get this set, but $800 is unfathomable!

That's what people said when the last one was $500.

I am in love with this set, but I'm not sure it is in my future. Even if I did save for it I'm not sure how I could display it, especially with two small humans in the house.

just watched 2 times and Brick Vault initial impressions helped a lot to determine this set.

I'm disappointed with minifigure selection or more of lacking of uniqueness, for this price we should have get more. We have same figures from cheap TFA sets with slightly updated Rey's face.

You mean used on eBay in about an hour?

[Jeff Mack]

I wonder if Lego will exclude this set from future 2x VIP days?

Be interesting to see a real time price tracker for 10179 on ebay.

So cruel.

no, but wonder if they will exclude it from RLUG Support scheme which is better than employee discount.

If there are any special giveaways with day 1 buys when would Lego typically announce that?

First Impressions....

• Love the box...Classic black.  Red orange planet looks awesome.  Font is professional and worthy of the UCS title
• Limit 5...They have plenty to sell and this will be around for awhile
• Minifigures...I wish they had Luke, R2 and Obi-Wan thrown in, but it is an obvious hint to another future EMPIRE STRIKES BACK set
• Ship...Very nice upgrade over the 10179.  As expected, some minor, but appreciated inner details, but more than enough to satisfy me.  The two dishes are a great option.
• Effect on the 10179...Short term...BIG HIT...Long term...Not so much.  The two sets are different enough that there will be collectors in the future that want the 10179, especially the First Edition.  No special edition of this set hurts it IMO.  That was a home run collectible set.  Now, it's just one of many others which could be around for a long time.
• Price point...I like it...Keeps the dilettantes away.
• Overall. I'm not happy with any remake, but if you are going to do it, do it right.  LEGO did it right.
