Not sure if brickipedia has the ultimate (no pun intended) list but: https://brickipedia.fandom.com/wiki/Ultimate_Collector's_Series

What I do find a little ironic about this list is 10198 (Tantive IV playset) is on the list but the more recent 75244 (Tantive IV playset) is not.  I know LEGO said 75244 is NOT a "UCS," but it was released on the UCS schedule, just like 10198.  And really the only differences between 10198 and 75244 is that 75244 has one additional minifigure and is a better rendition of the Tantive IV than 10198 ever was.

Also, as someone who owns both 7191 (Age 14+) and 10240 (Age 16+), I can assure you they are equivalent sizes and builds.  I kind of wish I could mate the body of 10240 with the wing mechanism of 7191 - best of both sets.

I think the contention around sets like 10198 being UCS or not is exactly why Lego have now separated out UCS from MBS explicitly.

So pictures are popping up of these from a watermarked catalog of the following:

Midi scale X-Wing, Tie Fighter, and Imperial Shuttle confirmed. Size somewhere between a 4+ set, and standard system scale.

4+ Resistance X-Wing

Another Falcon microfighter

TaunTaun vs AT-AT microfighter 

Count me as unimpressed

A Christmas themed Millennium Falcon from Reddit, likely the employee exclusive.

It looks like it will be featured in the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special coming next month

We shall dub it the Christmas MILF, based on a research video called "Ho Ho Ho's" I watched as a teenager.

Pictures dropped of the 75299 Mandalorian set.

Speeder bike from Tatooine, a ballista, and a small hut.

Figures include new Mando in full beskar armor, The Child, and a Tusken Raider.

Mando in Beskar armour will be popular. I assume it'll probably end up in loads of sets though so may not end up being worth much.

That new set looks like a $20 set from the blurry pictures, but my prediction is MSRP will be $30

Consensus in the Reddit thread is $30.

When in doubt, check what reddit says. A good rule of thumb for the modern world

That's what I was thinking.  It's kind of like a battle pack except it has Mando and the child.  Both will end up being worth little.

I bet Lego is bold enough to ask $40 for that set with perma-discount down to $32.

If that’s all we’re getting from Mando that’s disappointing. Enough cameos this season to make some great sets.

[exracer327]

A least three set options from today's Mando episode alone.  Without giving spoilers, the three I'm thinking of would all fall in the "ship or vehicle" categories.

On a side note.  I must compliment the writers / creators of the Mando series.  I have seen more creativity in ship and vehicle design in the Mando series than the entire sequel trilogy added together.

One of his kind has yet to be in a set.

Official reveal from the Star Wars youtube channel

75299 Trouble on Tatooine

276 Pieces $29.99. Mando has arm printing.

I remember when that used to be a $20 set, or take out the campfire and it was a battle pack. 

[$20 on joe vs dan]

another miss by LEGO..shoulda been a set of Mando and the Dude wearing Boba's armor both on their respective speeders.  That pairing would have been epic with levels of iconic/SW lore (Boba armor and Anakins racer bits).

add a never before seen Crait Dragon brick built and it's one of the best sets for 2021.  

[Darth_Raichu]

The set makes it look like a situation where Mando fights Tusken, which never happened in the show

I'm looking forward to the UCS Frog Lady Egg Backpack with removable eggs.
