August 15, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 16 Comments

LEGO has revealed yet another cryptic tweet, in the form of a video, of a big LEGO Star Wars that is coming October 1. This time it is a video showing a debris of bricks as a set is being assembled and eagle-eyed readers can probably figure out what it is. You can even see BB-8 flying through the debris of bricks.

This is the third teaser of a mystery set following the box and instruction booklet from previous weeks.

LEGO’s title on Facebook basically tells you in the title of what it is.

Get ready! #LEGOStarWars is assembling its biggest set yet! 😱 We just can't wait for October 1st! @starwars pic.twitter.com/bG5bYgHDv8

LEGO Releases Image of Mystery Instruction Booklet

August 8, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 14 Comments

A short while ago, LEGO released another teaser which could be for the supposed LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192). For this one, they’ve shown off a mystery instruction booklet and says that this one is 2.56 times bigger than one for the the 196 page LEGO Creator Carousel (10257). If you’re counting pages, this very large booklet will have about 502 pages.

This continues the trend of releasing a teaser every Tuesday up until the official reveal of this mystery set. Stay tuned next week for another reveal if this pattern keeps up.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192) Hidden in Teaser Post?

August 2, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

Yesterday, LEGO did a teaser post for a new set that is releasing soon which will come in a box 4.86 times larger than the LEGO Creator London Bus box. Some Photoshop experts over on Reddit have done some x-ray editing on the image and have found out something really peculiar about it. They have actually found out that there is indeed a set inside the wrapper. As you can see from the image below (click to expand), you can clearly see the LEGO logo at the corner and you can faintly see what appears to be the cockpit for the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (75192).

I know fans have been waiting for an updated UCS Millennium Falcon for a long time and it looks like that dream may be coming true. LEGO has been dropping hints for many months now from shadowed outline on boxes to past designer videos but LEGO should be announcing something very soon as there is a VIP early access set starting on September 14.

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

May 10, 2017 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 17 Comments

There has been lots of rumored regarding the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon. Back in January, there were details about the ship itself while in April, there were details about some of the minifigures. There was even a reported price point of $799.99 for it.

The latest intel that was revealed was on LEGO Shop@Home itself. Earlier today, when people did a search for “UCS Millennium Falcon,” you would get a a coming soon page with the message, “Coming soon. You’re ahead of the game! That product is coming soon. Try again later!” This message was confirmed by others in various regions of the world as well. As of this writing, it looks like LEGO has fixed the query and it comes up with the no results found message.

Did LEGO accidentally reveal that there is a new UCS Millennium Falcon coming? Thanks to everyone who emailed in about it as well.
