You really think they will remake it (again) when there are so many other possibilities within the SW Universe, let alone any other UCS possibility? 


I think that all depends on how it sells... They remade 10179 due to DEMAND (as shown by activity and pricing of the old set). Plus it's now Disney branded.

I would say that we have the Death Star to look at first. This is a better scenario as the Remake is substantially better than the original in my opinion. The Death Star obviously saw almost no change and was primarily just a rebranding by Disney.

If they go on to remake that on top of it being rebranded then I guess our answer is that we should expect another Falcon sometime

Got in the door from the airport tonight and this was waiting for me... I officially have the best wife ever. I can't believe she went to the store for opening and then dragged this beast through

Well after getting through all 8 films and trying to work out which was the bigger mistake in the prequel films Jar-Jar or Hayden Christensens wooden acting, I finally finished the mighty Falcon.

Completed and mounted.  Cannon alternates top/bottom lights. Happy to answer any questions or take different pictures if asked.

Even so. You just gave up a career of salary in addition to Early Access to Lego sets for the rest of your life in addition to whatever discounts they receive. Is that all worth a screenshot? Hell no. Lol

But he obviously forgot to omit the store ID so I guess his intelligence is suspect anyways. LOL

For the US non-mathematicians like myself, that's 20.87 x 18.11 x 14.96 if those center-meters are correct. 

In comparison, the 10188 DS box is 23 x 23.5 x 6.7 and 10179 is 25.4 x 18.8 x 7.8 

This 38cm is ruining my plan to fit it in my luggage back to Brazil!

Curious to hear what people think about this as a long-term investment?  Obviously there will be QFLL en-mass for the holidays and this set, but beyond that I think the potential for a good return is high as, God willing, they will not remake the MF a 3rd time...I'm considering purchasing multiples to keep long-term (and one of course to build).

MF'17, Long term investment?  hum.  This is a very long term hold prospect.  I would say minimum 5 year hold to see any kind of major profit.  Of course, holiday flips are always great and will sell if priced accordingly.  The UCS 10179 climbed higher and higher...but the minute the rumors started about the '17 version the (reseller) price started the fall.  In the past three months alone, the average price for 10179 has fallen from $4500 to $2500.  This is expected.  Why would anyone pay $2500 or more for a "NEW" set that is going to sell for $800?  

Lego will make it again.  Maybe again, in 2027 we see the 3rd version and the same cycle will repeat it self. 

In the end, If you have money to invest in multiple sets (like I do) and are ok having $800+ sitting in a corner...then by all means do it.   Good luck, Invest wisely &  happy building.

Everyone remember that leaked pic from TLS POS a few months ago? The one that was marked "75192 Confidential $799"?

Chap that posted the pic got fired.

I got fired from Lego for leaking the USC Falcon set! AMA!
 

One page back... but thanks for bringing it up again! It is an interesting read

A LEGO store retail associate or low level manager is not exactly a high-paying gig.

Part of 10179's value, IMO, was the idea that TLG was unlikely to ever make something like that again. People made the decision to shell out for a collectible and conversation piece (There's a winery/brewery near me that has the MF and SSD displayed in the tasting room. Never fails to get comments).  Now that people know that TLG can or will redo sets, it will be interesting to see the value of 75192 in 5 to 7 years when the rumors begin again.  If an AFOL misses out on it this time (even assuming that the window closes), will they be willing to be that person who bought it for $5000 in 2022 when they might get another chance for the 50th anniversary? I'm still planning on trying to get at least one to hold long-term, but I don't expect a repeat of 10179's performance.

In 2007-2008 that was a logical assumption that 10179 was a one off. Star Wars was still owned by George Lucas. There were no films planned to be made. I think Clone Wars was running on TV (never watched it) and that was it.

Now Disney have it and we have Movies scheduled at least until 2020 and I suspect once Episodes 7, 8 & 9 are done - assuming its been treated as a trilogy - they will do 10 - 12 which will take us to 2026.
