Haven't clicked that link but i did type in ucs falcon in the search bar on the lego store and got an interesting message.
Oh. Hell. Yes.
I'm so glad I was patient and didn't start brickbuilding one of these. I just told my wife that she and my mum can get it for my Christmas present :D
I need a new house now. My Lego collection is getting quite formidable :eek:
OH MY GOD!
TRAMAMPOLINE, TRAPAMPOLINE.......
700 pounds though! i mean whatever i will be getting it somehow lol
Sorry. Context.

This is great news, I have been so close to blowing a lot of money but once TFA came out I thought best to hold off, one might be on the way.
Fingers crossed that have a window for the cockpit.
So I was chatting to someone who may or may not have some official info about this....who knows how true or whatever but...
will come with mynocks from ESB
OT and TFA radar dish options
mini figs from ESB and also upcoming the last jedi
I guess we will wait and see if any of this is true hehe
No i think this will be the first lego mynock they were saying. It also would be a better built model with interior. I don't have the first UCS one but I believe it is kinda like my UCS star destroyer in that you basically have a technic frame and structure on the inside and no proper detail or play features. This will be more similar to the recent force awakens Falcon where you can open it up and it has a proper interior with details and features.
Somebody else I know apparently can't say anything at all due to an NDA. when I replied with basically "aha! that proves it exists otherwise you wouldn't need to sign anything" they said "what if the nda covers all ucs in general or another one in particular". very resistant to interrogation lol
I think the days of no internal structure like the UCS Star Destroyer and AT-ST are gone, which is a good thing imho. The SSD has some nice internals, but yeah, I couldn't believe the AT-ST when I got it a couple of years ago, the thing is, there is space in there for a couple of seats, drivers, controls etc. I have the Falcon from about five years ago and that is a great little set when opened up, so there is no reason they can't do that with a UCS Falcon. Price is gonna be killer though.
Here's the old UCS Falson being handled by Harrison Ford. :D

What would be your price limit on a re-release? I could stomach anything from $600 - $800 but reaching towards $1000 would be hard to justify.
I don't really know to be honest. I have a feeling really the price won't bother me, I would be likely getting it regardless. I've been thinking about getting 2 even, with the 2nd one staying in the box as an 'investment'.
If it goes to Myer it will be about $1500.
Blergh I hope not. Prices like that is why "Lepin" exist.
I'm thinking in the $900's, a Lego over $1000 in Oz retail might not seem sane to the shops who will stock it.
Leaning on $1k going by piece count. The rereleased Death Star is still $800 at Myer and Lego Shop, and $600 at BigW. The previous MF has 20% more pieces than the Death Star. The rumoured extras will add a couple 100 more pieces - I'm hoping that adding 1-200 to 5174 pieces doesn't substantially change the price.
I reckon BigW should be able to do a RRP of $750-800?
Im tempted to layby the Average Joe version from Big W to bang around with & invest some coin into the UCS.
Always wanted a Falcon but never got around to it :/
I think the lowest price BigW had it for was $195?
This dude is selling it on eBay for $192.50 shipped. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Star-Wars...8AAOSwq1JZH-ic You can get it for $172.50 with the spend $100 get $20 off offer on eBay atm http://pages2.ebay.com.au/Buyer_coupons/count20 Or $160 if you happen to drive by the airport ;)
Got my tax done. Have about 90% of the cost coming in my return.
Now just need to save for the UCS SnowSpeeder.

More rumours and hopes? :)
Announcement on 1st October of Lego's biggest set yet. From the official Lego instagram page:
https://instagram.com/p/BX0gM5Xn1Ol/
Yep, I'm pretty sure it's happening!!!!!!!!!!
The link is the mobile version. I deleted the m. at the start and it opened fine on my PC.
There was a leaked picture of it the other day with Chinese writing all over it. Looked legit but some of the translated info didn't match up to what Lego have officially announced. So we'll see.
Another leaked look if anyone wants to keep an eye out for it. This one with minifigures and the box shown.
