10 "minifigs".
£650 in the UK is fucking amazing. That's only 0.86p per piece! I need to get this.
You doing the thread?

How many marriages will end because of the falcon 🤔
I'd like being able to buy it in UK...
Where can you see prices?
Still, even my work is pushing me... I've been paid twice as much as I expected this month, so there definitively isn't a money issue. Now, it's still a lot.
US $799.99, CA $899.99, DE 799.99, UK £649.99, DKK 6999.00
£650 does work out to just over $800 so it's not like it's much less expensive, you're technically paying a little less in the US. I was just expecting Lego to really fuck us over on pricing with £750 or even the full £800.
I feel hey should produce it foe at least two years. There WILL be plently of free advertisement for the 50th anniversary of the moon landing, it's a huge opportunity.

Welp, i'd order it in the UK (unless it's Lego store only there as well) but then shipping would probably kill any gains made...
Thanks
Not really...plum said:
I'm in EU, 650£ is just over 700...
And uk price is vat included, not USprice I believe, so it's far cheaper than US too.

So where has the extra 2000 pieces gone into? The partial interior doesnt look like it would use more than 500. Is it just a bunch of detail bits and 1x4 tiles? Doesnt feel like that warrants a $300 price increase. Its still about the same volume as the original.
Ah yeah, I always forget America doesn't have tax included. Iff there's a tax rate of even 10% that's getting close to $900.
Sucks about the Euro price, didn't do that calculation. Seems like the UK is getting the best deal which I'm honestly shocked by considering how fucked our currency is right now. Worried what that might mean for supplies, you can bet scalpers have their eyes on Britain right now for the set.

I really want this. Time to start saving up!
TLG always gives Canadians a pretty good exchange rate.

Lovely! I'm in!
Just did some rudimentary calculations (i.e. I googled the currency conversions) and here's the price in dollars and dollar-per-piece of US, UK, DE and CA.
US: $800 / $0.106pp
UK: $837 / $0.110pp
DE: $950 / $0.125pp
CA: $718 / $0.095pp
However, there's also tax to deal with in the US and Canada so those prices are, of course, very likely going to be higher than what's listed unless you live somewhere with no sales tax. I don't know about Europe but the UK has tax included with the price.
So the value of the set really depends on where you are. It's still definitely on the higher end in terms of what's acceptable for Lego prices, especially considering many of those 7541 pieces will be tiny little details.

Should be $50
If it's $200 + double VIP tomorrow at the Lego Store, I'm at risk.

If it's like the original, no. They serve as the stand.

Hmm, will these be in the next CMF wave too or stay unique to TRU pack ?
I'm more excited about this than the MF news. Had months for the MF excitement to wear out.
Until they start doing Accountant Batman or Garbage Collector Batman, it's not overkill. They could do hot dog suit Batman and I'd get it.
Gladiator Batman is the best of those 4.

$1300.
I laughed.. but not mine.
As cool as it is, I simply have no space for a build that large. I guess my interest in Lego ends somewhere around the $300 per set mark as well.

As someone who owns the original UCS Falcon, it really is huge and displaying it is a problem. It's not like the nice UCS Super Star Destroyer that isn't that wide and can easily go on a shelf.

Same here, this came out of nowhere unlike the MF...
I just REALLY hope i will be able to get my hands on them somehow over here, still crossing fingers for that rumored Series 2 to include them
