i don't believe there is another set on the horizon with Yoda.

I wanted the Rathtar Escapes set but now that I see how it's modular and would really need like 4-5 of them to make it look decent, I'm gonna pass unless it's on a deep discount. I do want the Guavian Death Gang minifigs though. And the Rathtars of course.

Heh, that spoiler reveal was brutal.
Well no not this year but i'm assuming we will get another set with Yoda at some point though. I already have a couple R2's so it would literally be what $25 to 30 just for a yoda fig. I'm probably answering my own question here, its probably better to wait for a set with more figs if i'm not interested in the build at all.
I'm hoping people temper their expectations for tomorrow. If we don't get a UCS falcon reveal tomorrow please don't throw Ghostmind down a shaft.

if its really an $800 millennium falcon, shit better be as big as my coffee table and make the other one look small. Pessimistic me thinks its just gonna be a refresh of the old one, with maybe 1000 more pieces for interior detail and other refinements but priced $200 more than it should be due to "inflation" or something stupid

Is there some Star Wars significance to the date, or is it just a plain old date?

The 40th anniversary of the original film. The REAL Star Wars day. Not this cute May the 4th stuff.
Ahh, gotcha. Well now I've got my hopes up. Even though I'm sticking to my story that I'll never spend $800 on a set. For now.

I don't think Brickbadger has a CDN section, do they?
The site that I use is below. Not exactly a big secret but they require registration to the forums to see the deals - quote my post to see it below:
I did just think to myself that the price of Krennic's Shuttle was justified by his hair alone. So I do have a mild version of whatever the illness is called in this thread.
And you will still buy it.
I don't know. A rumored price of $800 (plus tax) has made me reconsider my initial plan to buy it. The most I've paid for a single set is $250. Spending over 3x that for one set is tough for me to justify.

Get ready for posts like that if that price is true and there's a thread in off topic.
$800 better include every Star Wars mini figure, be fucking huge, be quadruple lego VIP points, and an autograph from George Lucas and a free screening of the last Jedi
Will probably be super limited, like you'll have to pre order in store

And even if it is that much, and people bitch about it, in a few years when the aftermarket price goes to insane numbers people will then complain about how they shoulda spent the money when it came out.
Unless the model itself is a dud like the "UCS" Echo Base set (which I don't see happening), this set is going to be a very quick sell out for LEGO in the initial batch.
Personally, I am hoping they just go absolutely bonkers and deliver the biggest piece count of a set ever, and shame every UCS set that came before.

i'd buy it
What if they approach it like episodic content. They release it in 4 chunks at $200 a piece over a year span. The TFA differences sold as dlc later.

Yeah, I'm, expecting it to be about the same size as the old one, but with an interior.
People forget how big the old one was.

It was close to 3'x3' wasn't it? Just a beast.

Geez with maybe millennium falcon and Saturn V, I won't have room for these!

OK everyone. How place your bets on how many stickers the Falcon is going to have.
The old UCS Falcon had 5.
4 console stickers, and the info-plaque sticker.

Maybe like 15 if there's an interior lol. There are no markings outside the falcon.
While we wait (and my guess is 1 sticker), for those of you who want an R3-M2, but don't care about getting it in the polybag, you can order the parts (specifically the dome and body) from LEGO Bricks & Pieces https://www.lego.com/en-us/service/replacementparts/sale. Just search for set 40268.

Sweet merciful crap, the Saturn V is enormous!
And WTF at all the build techniques?! It's like the designer said, "Oh, you guys think you know what SNOT is? How quaint. Sit back and learn."
They have to do more NASA stuff after this -- no, they must!

I hate that I missed out on some of the older Ideas/Cuusoo NASA sets.
There was a Mars Rover and a Satellite (maybe not a NASA one, but still a cool looking space set).
I'll be getting the season pass.
Tower Bridge and UCS Imperial Shuttle are my two most expensive purchases. The falcon sounds like it will easily be more than both of them put together. As much as I love UCS OT ships it is likely a step too far (also literally nowhere to put it unless there was some way to wall mount it flat against the wall)

I would buy it if it were like that subscription model MF that I think was like $10 per issue per week. Each week you get a handful of parts with 4 panels of instructions that don't really make sense until later.

Yeah, i'd wait for the set of the year edition with that free Mynock build instead...
Seriously though, if they actually went episodic, i think it'd be done with Lego.
i would not be done with Lego

My Falcon is in a box. It's just way too large to display.
I'll still probably buy the new one.
Maybe get the keychain, while you wait for new sets? Or get it from Bricklink or ebay
My Parisian Restaurant arrived, just in time for the bank holiday weekend too!
You're all right though, I can definitely see myself shelling out for more of the modulars!
Would you guys mind sharing your opinions on the Palace Cinema (10232)? As far as I can tell it's the oldest modular still in production, so I imagine the best one for me to go for if I intend on getting as many as I can.

It's the one to get if you don't want to miss out. But it's also the weakest of the bunch. It looks cool when build, but the interiour is very bare bones and the build is not on par with the other modulars still available) Also has a terrible 2-part sticker that is terrible to line up correctly. People also hate on the included car, but for me it works for what it wants to be.
But you'll want it anyway, so get this first and then work your way trough in order of release. To me Detectives Office is another absolute highlight (that interiour!) and Assembly Square is offcourse a blast (though I found the build somewhat tedious, because of the prolonged steps (there are only 6 bags for 4000 pieces if I'm not mistaken)
I bought all the available modulars in a short period of time last year, and started with palace cinema and Pet shop. I picked up grand emporium (used) for a very reasonable price, and then got the rest. Finished the cinema last night, and it looks good when finished, but probably doesn't have as many interesting building techniques as the others. Still got the bank, restaurant and assembly square to build, but now I have the display space I can crack on with them.

Just because the Saturn V is so amazing, don't sleep on the Carousel! It's a really cool build, although obviously also quite repetitive, especially at the end. Some of the connections made blew my mind.
But my point is: you will never be able to Bricklink this. Not only for the stickers and the cloth and the exclusive prints. There's just so many parts in special colours. The medium blue tails currently don't come in any other sets and there are 48 of them. In fact, most of the medium blue are new recolours.
I'll make a proper review once the weather clears up. I'd prefer to take pictures outside for this.

Palace Cinema does look very nice on display. The criticism about the interior and the car are true, but the car is no less disappointing than the fire truck from the Fire Brigade. In the context that these sets are supposed to be 1930's-ish, the vehicles are fine. The interior is clearly inferior to both the Fire Brigade and Pet Shop (haven't seen any others in person).
There is some fun detail work with the windows and the roof. But the best part of the set is the marquee sign. I loved building that and it deserved to be last in the build. Lining up the sticker does suck and I wish they would have just run a special piece for that. But when finished, this set is striking, has a rare footprint, and is a nice height. Keeping in mind that you'll typically only see the exterior on display, I think it's a worthy purchase.
Well, I'm convinced! I really like the look of the exterior, despite the interior; and it's Lego at the end of the day, I can always customise!
I reckon I'll pick up this and the Detective's Office next, thank you!
Build the bank first, then AS, the PR. Bank is great, but the other two are absolutely amazing and the restaurant is goat

Ha, funny you should say that. I've just finished bags 1 of brick bank. Really liked building the safe door and the counter/reception bit
Yeah, amazing details in the interior. The chandelier is something else
It's a testament of how great the others are that this is 'the lesser' of three

The superhero girl sets are cheap on Amazon uk at moment
Batgirl jet is £8.70
Lashina is £4.69
School is £33
My son liked building some of the vehicles so I'm tempted by the school at that price
