Did a LEGO Designer Hint at the Rumored LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192)?

July 19, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Here’s something coming out of the Brickset Forums yesterday regarding the highly rumored and anticipated updated LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). I saw it yesterday but there was plenty of San Diego Comic Con 2017 news and planning that I held off on reporting it.

If you’re familiar with the set listings on Brickset, you would sometimes see something called “Bricklist Notes” in which LEGO designers can put notes into sets they have designed to give some information about the creative process. Hans Burkhard Schlömer, who is on the LEGO Star Wars design team, has worked previous sets including the Millennium Falcon (75105) and UCS sets such as the Slave I and the Assault on Hoth (75098) has given an very interesting note on a set that was released this year. In the Republic Fighter Tank (75182) listing, Hans wrote:

Clones need a ride too! I did this set as a quick side-project while working on a much, much, much, much, much, much larger set which is going to be announced on September 1st 2017.

If you’re a Star Wars fan, you would know that September 1 is the planned date for Star Wars Force Friday II event for The Last Jedi. I’m not a rocket scientist but that sounds like a big ol’ hint for the Millennium Falcon, doesn’t it? Or it could just be that reported UCS BB-8 (75187) that is supposedly coming as well.

We’ll all see together in about one and a half months when all the new LEGO … Continue

LEGO Ideas Women of NASA December Release Date Revealed?

July 17, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

Back in February, it was announced that the Women of NASA project was approved to be the next LEGO Ideas set and it looks like we may have a release date for it. During Japan Brickfest, there was a presentation from the LEGO Community Engagement Team and during the talk, some of the latest LEGO Ideas sets including the Saturn V, Old Fishing Store, and Women of NASA were shown off. It also showed the release dates of the sets and the Women of NASA is slated to be coming December 1.

Of course, anything can change and that date could be pushed back so until LEGO officially announces the set, I wouldn’t confirm it just yet. We’re also still waiting for the results of the Third 2016 Review Stage which should be announced any time now as they were close to wrapping it up in their last update.
