First tweet.

The London Bus comes in a box that is over 20,000 cm³ but something BIGGER is coming... 😮 4.86 times bigger, to be exact! 😉

Second tweet.

The instruction manual for the LEGO Carousel contains over 194 pages but something BIGGER is coming… 😮 2.56 times bigger! 😉

It's rumored to cost around $700, has the highest piece count for a LEGO set ever and will be revealed on September 1. What is it? Well...

Spoiler

September 1 is Force Friday and a new UCS Millenium Falcon set to tie in with the new movie wouldn't be that bad, right?

 

[mjc]

A $700 Falcon would be insanity. It would have to be super detailed.

 

[mclem]

It's got to an absurd level of 'top secret but everyone has a pretty good idea of what to expect'. Wonder how they'll run through the teases; I assume there'll be a piece count one (Using Disney Castle as the basis, possibly? I think that's the largest currently available set, although if they're focussing on recent releases for cross-promotion, perhaps Assembly Square)

 

[clevbrowns94]

I hope it's a Lego Titanic. I have no idea why there is not one to begin with.

 

[Fliesen]

i mean, it HAS to be a Star Wars set, right?

Are there any other sets that go for such premium prices?

 

[Haloid1177]

Guys it’s the Falcon. Like there isn’t speculation, it’s the Falcon.

 

[DrForester]

I hope that instead of being larger than the old UCS falcon, it's about the same size, but with an interior.

Edit:
There better not be one sticker in this set...

 

[whatsinaname]

Carousel piece count (2670) * 2.56 = 6835 pieces

London bus piece count (1686) * 4.86 = 8194 pieces

-_- just give us the info already Lego.

(For that price, hope they have some nice 911 type packaging).

 

[strafer]

Are Lego manuals as awesome as they used to be?

Rumor has it you can customize it to look more like the OT or ST one with different radars etc.

Saturn V manual.

911 manual.

(Though a large number of manuals for the smaller sets are fairly standard designs.)

Lol

Does this mean I've missed the window to sell my unopened UCS Millennium Falcon? Last I check it was worth over $3,000. I've had it for years in storage and I was seriously considering selling it this fall.

 

[friskykillface]

That's gonna be a big ass book

You guys shouldn't worry about resellers, they go for cheap items most of the time and I can see lego sell out at first but stock plenty for the holidays
I'm hyped for the falcon 😎

faLcon,

You'd get $2500-$2900 most likely
It's dropping fast but still good resell value

Was like $4-5K earlier this year

They better since there's supposed to be a Han Solo movie next year.

What's the best way to save even 5% on a set like this?

 

[Gastone]

If this is a Star Wars set i'm getting it, no doubt. Just finished building the Tie Fighter

 

[Unit 33]

Lego Time Cruisers Theme reboot.

It's the London bus combined with the carosel with a big laser canon on top!

 

[TP-DK]

I want it.

 

[LordOfLore]

Be a VIP member and collect points with every purchased set. Use them when there's a huge set you want to get it a little bit cheaper.

 

[RyanW]

As a college student with limited funds I'd really like that Falcon set

 

[Pagusas]

If I wasn't building a house right now and bleeding money everywhere, I'd be all over whatever this is (

 

[demosthenes]

I just got the old falcon as a gift :lol

 

[valkyre]

What about the underside? Will it still be flat like the old one?

 

[Kayhan]

Turns out you are just another brick in the wall.

Yep. Lego VIP is 5% store credit back for purchases. (Sometimes going to 10% or 15% on certain dates).

 

[Rhomega Beta]

A scale recreation of Manhattan?

 

[muteki]

How many Falcons would that be, if true?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Have over $100 in VIP points saved up to help take a bite out of this next month.

 

[Tal Shiar Agent]

Comes assembled.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Will there be double points for the falcon release? Oh man I hope so.

 

[Haloid1177]

Lol no they’re doing double points the first weekend of Sept for TLJ sets.

 

[Falchion]

Oh my god whatever it is is going to be massive.

 

[Keasar]

An Imperial Battleship

is what I would really wish it was but it's gonna be Star Wars, don't feel there is any doubt about that really.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I just got the old falcon as a gift :lol

time to flip

 

[suaveric]

The problem with the last one is the size, It's amazing but you need a huge amount of room to display it. The old one is 2'x3' and this new one looks like it has 40% more pieces. That's insane.

 

[The Broken Ska Record]

I know what I'm, potentially, getting for Christmas!

 

[Regiruler]

Why not just reprint the old falcon and save on R&D?

 

[PhoncipleBone]

Why not just reprint the old falcon and save on R&D?

Pieces no longer in production? Easier to sell a new design and get previous owners to double dip? Make refinements and improvements?

 

[DrForester]

Rumor has it you can customize it to look more like the OT or ST one with different radars etc.

I'd be shocked if it doesn't have that option, but that won't amount to many pieces.

 

[Servbot24]

Really tempting but I think I may just get some more modulars instead since they're likely to have better price per piece value.

 

[WedgeX]

A large scale Mon Calamari cruiser complete with fighter squadron?

 

[OriginofHysteria]

Why not just reprint the old falcon and save on R&D?

Rumor is that there will be an interior, which would completely redesign the entire hull of it.

 

[BlackRainbowFT]

Peter Molyneux's curiousity cube.

 

[TedMilk]

Into my veins

 

[mnannola]

Could it be something else star wars related, like a death star, starkiller base, etc?

 

[Ponn]

Word of warning, if you really want this set you probably want to get it the minute it goes up on their site or be there in line early if you have a Lego store nearby. Even with the price tag this is an insanely hyped set and Lego hasn't met demand on sets before. Most recently the Saturn V rocket. The UCS Tumbler sold out and wasn't available through the holidays or even a couple months after the holidays.

 

[Woorloog]

Could it be something else star wars related, like a death star, starkiller base, etc?

Nah. It is the Millenium Falcon. There have been too many rumors and apparently one real pic even.

 

[devonodev]

idk the internet has seen some pretty big sets if you know what i mean
