UCS Millenium Falcon re-release?

[Ralph Wiggum]

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'.

It's a good question. 10179 rrp in AU was $979.99 but was only $499 in the US. So maybe $800?

I'm not very good at guessing prices.

If it goes to Myer it will be about $1500.

Blergh I hope not. Prices like that is why "Lepin" exist.

Lego is not from the Coles camp of "down, down, prices are down!"

It'll be a ridiculous mark up price, with the Australia tax added on afterwards like the latest Death Star set that jumped $100 for not many new or improved pieces.

However the Saturn V set is quite well priced. The exchange rate plays a part in the AU price and it would have been pretty poor when the original was released.

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 :/
