Rumors have starting swirling about a new LEGO Star Wars UCS set that may be coming out in 2014. Over on Eurobricks, members mentioned that the newest Ultimate Collector’s Series set could be the Slave I. If Slave I was to come out in 2014, my guess is that it could be during LEGO’s “May the 4th Be With You” promotions since the company has released various UCS sets around that time including the R2-D2 (10225) in 2012 and the Red Five X-wing Starfighter (10240)
from this year.
LEGO has released quite a few versions of the Slave I including some oddball sets such as the MINI version during Star Wars Celebration VI. There have been many memorable Star Wars vehicles that have become UCS sets but one of the most iconic ships hasn’t been featured yet. Maybe 2014 will be the time for the Slave I to make it’s mark as an Ultimate Collector’s Series set.

I hope they do, it’d probably come with a Boba Fett figure most likely too.
Probably not actually. Both the B-wing and X-wing UCS sets where not minifig scale, so they didn’t come with one. Probably to entice people to buy the smaller sets as well.
What about the UCS R2D2? It came with a minifigure of him.
UCS Falcon was with figs. Also X and B wings are smaller crafts than Slave 1 – it was possible to make them over-sized comparing to a minifig. I hope for a new larger cockpit as the current Slave 1 MOCs are very limited by the cockpit window size that is now available. I hope they make it right and that an exclusive Boba (printed hands and shoulders – Cloud City fig style) will be included. It will be then just: Shut up and take my money 😀 (will not make the mistake of not buying a 500USD set for a catalog price like the Falcon instead of now a 1000USD or above)
If this does in fact happen, all I can say is it is about dang time the main man got the ‘Ultimate’ treatment! I can only imagine just how large this model could be.
It’ll be pretty cool if it was about the size of the Red Five X-wing.
