None of the other projects in review seem to match and the price implies that it's fairly simple (which the female minifig set is), just wondering if I missed something.

Brickfanatics posted a new article today with a little more info on the UCS rumors for 2014.
http://brickfanatics.co.uk/more-rumors-on-the-ucs-sets/
I, for one, would be disappointed if the upcoming UCS Batman set is the Batwing from the Lego Movie instead of the Tumbler. The Lego Movie Batwing is cool, but a Tumbler would be way cooler. I'd even prefer a past iconic Batmobile over the Batwing.

Interesting tidbit about 10226 Sopwith Camel going OOP this summer.
I can't see 10220 or 10214 lasting much longer either.
I would like a Batwing to display, just not the Lego Movie version of it. I already have a couple Batmobile's so i'm meh on the Tumbler.
Now a UCS Mogo...yessssssss.

Will be looking forward to it. Hopefully it will be done to have a wider market appeal. I will most likely pick up a set.
Along the lines of LEGO Ideas, I heard one store over sold $5000 worth the first day. So that means they got over 100 sets. Picked up my Ghostbuster set today so I'm eager to build it.
I'll hold out to see if they ever go for 20% off like Back to the Future set to pick up another 1 or 2.

While a UCS Tumblr would no doubt be awesome, that's not something I'd personally be after (unless it was Minifig scale I guess?) so if it winds up being the Lego Movie Batwing, then holy shit sign me up :O

LEGO Ideas/Cuusoo Exo-Suit can't be revealed soon enough.
Excellent work, I love Lola and would love an official release
Hell I need to hurry. Getting it this week, Milano can wait. Not too long though.
Same here. The movie Batwing is the shit.
I like Friends sets, but I do hope this one is not using Friends minidolls and pink bricks

Ecto 1 was sold out in Sheffield
I've been building a Shield Lola as well. I was using Nick Fury's car as a base, but I've switched to using a wheel mechanism based on the BTTF De Lorean instead. I'll post some pics when it's more finished

I heard another store in the UK somewhere had 100 and sold out the first day

Your creation has been a winner since day 1 Brent! I haven't picked mine up yet but will soon.

My Ecto-1 is waiting for my lunch break and then it will be mine and all that is wrong will be right again
Yeah I'd love both, but I'd rather a UCS Tumbler first

Having a hard time deciding what set to get my girl friend for her birthday. It's between The Simpson's House and The Sea Cow.
She bought the Simpson's House for her best friends wedding, and wished she bought one for herself. However she really loves the Lego Movie, and all things Steam Punk so the Sea Cow is right up her alley. Though things might swing back to The Simpson's favor because she has been getting all the CMF's.

Ecto 1 bought! Wanted the GotG ship but that can't wait plus I have close to 25 bucks in on my Lego card so I can take the hit later.
Just theme the machine as a "LEGO Movie Slot Machine" and frame display shelves all around it. A little bit of work but would be awesome when done.

Got my Ecto-1! I also picked up 3 more Shuffs and 3 more orange squid Mixels, plus a Legends Wolf for parts. Gonna use the wolf joints and orange Mixels for my giant squid, and I'm gonna make a legion of Shuff for a... secret project I've been thinking of...

Dammit. Beat me to the joke. Lol.
Event Horizon for Halloween!
If it's a Slave-1, than I would imagine, given the Star Wars tax that the set would be between 1500-2000 pieces.
If it has more pieces than that for $200 I'll be elated!
Edit: I hope it's not a batwing. Unless its "Very Awesome". Rather have a Tumbler.
Do you know what that exclusive VIP set is for July?

If it is an UCS Tumbler, I hope it actually allows a Batpod to eject out of it.
Do I know? No.
If i were to wager though, I would say 10242 MINI Cooper MK VII.
Should be around the same price as the VW T-1 Camper Van.

I truly hope so. It's the one thing keeping me from pulling the trigger on Spaceship x3!
Holy shit yes!

If it's the movie Batwing will it also convert to the movie Batmobile?

Started to build the Super Secret Police Dropship tonight and I've made through the first three, of six, bags. Man, this has been an excellent build so far and it's shaping into an incredible model. Can't wait to finish it tomorrow night.
But for now, one round of Mario Kart 8 and then I'm off to bed.

Brick specialists at my local store said kids were very interested in the Spaceship and Emmets construction mech, but not as much interest in the dropship. I'm hoping to see some good sales or clearance on those dropships then. I'd love to have 2-3 of those. Colors are very reusable too.

Where is this on the website? I can't find itAvailable on TeeFury this Sunday.

Up close look at Donatello from the tmnt movie sets. A vendor at Atlantic Comic-Con was selling it. Nice find.

That price is still too high for my wallet, i really hope they'll put something exclusive (minifigs, , accessories, parts) inside
Guys, I'd really like to have a AT-ST, but the 10174 Imperial AT-ST is going for about 300 on BL. It's too much.
So I'm considering building it from scratch off BL. It's around 1000 parts so it's should be doable, more easily than the UCS Millenium Falcon anyway.
If anyone here has this set, I'd like to know if it's worth it or if it's too much of a hassle for the quality of the set ?

Tumblr is old hat. Really tired of the Nolanverse entirely. It's very grounded take was fresh and interesting, but overall just not a great fit or Batman. Glad it's over. Maybe they'll give us something with multiple builds though, that would make for a very interesting UCS product. Probably too hopeful though.
Same
Agreed. Glad it's done, get back to some classic stuff!
Apparently it's only available on June 8th.
Falcon on the set of Ep VII. Even if we don't get a UCS Falcon fairly soon, we are bound to get another falcon for Ep VII sets.
