มีการสอบถาม LEGO Chief Marketing Officer Julia Goldin ได้บอกว่าปี2017นี้เป็นปีที่ดีที่จะมีการre-release “10179”
1.It is 40 years since “A New Hope” debut and changed pop culture as we know it.
2.It is also the 10th anniversary of the release of the UCS Millennium Falcon (10179).
3.Star Wars Episode VIII is coming out at the end of the year
4.There are generally two Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series set released per year and the Star Wars UCS Snowspeeder (75144) will be announced at Star Wars Celebration which leaves on more unidentified UCS for the later part of the year.
5.It would be a nice tribute to Carrie Fisher who played Leia Organa Solo.
6.The Falcon features prominently in Star Wars The Force Awakens and rumoured to be a center piece in Star Wars The Last Jedi.
7.LEGO has teased the re-issue of the Millennium Falcon for years including the Millennium Falcon silhouette easter egg on the box art of the Star Wars Death Star (75159).
8.LEGO has already re-issued the LEGO Death Star (75159) so there really should be no reason to re-issue the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon (10179).
What has been rumoured so far is that the set will feature two satellite dishes, one round (Original Trilogy) and a rectangular one (New Trilogy).
It supposedly will be around the same piece count as (10179) and will be priced around SGD1,000 ~ SGD1,500. Pundits place it’s release some time in September, in time for Force Friday.
