The Next LEGO Star Wars UCS Set is a TIE…

October 20, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

The rumor mill has started up as we start to speculate what exclusive sets could be coming out in 2015. Earlier, we reported that the LEGO The Simpsons line would be getting another set.

Cavegod over on Eurobricks is reporting that we would be seeing a new LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Series set. The only thing that they mentioned was a UCS TIE. Since there are many different TIE variants such as the Advanced, Interceptor, Bomber, etc., it’s hard to guess which version it is.

My sources are telling me that the next LEGO Star Wars UCS set would be the TIE/LN Starfighter aka the TIE Fighter. I was also told that it would be priced around $199.99 and would be released during the May the 4th event. If this is true, it’ll be joining the TIE Interceptor (7181) from 2000 and Vader’s TIE Advanced (10175) from 2006 as the TIE variants in the LEGO Star Wars universe.

We’ll see in a few months whether it is indeed be the UCS TIE Fighter or another TIE aircraft.

LEGO Star Wars UCS Slave I (76060) Revealed

September 2, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Just2Good on YouTube has revealed images of the new LEGO Star Wars UCS Slave I (76060). We’ve been reporting that this was the set that has been rumored and now we finally get to see some of the images of it.

More images will be revealed on Eurobricks but from what we can see so far, there will be four minifigures and the Carbonite Han piece. It will have 1996 pieces and will retail for $199.99 as reported on BrickPicker a few months ago.

Some details that can be seen is the new arm printing that Boba Fett has as well as the Bespin Guard minifigure. The box does have the Ultimate Collector’s Series badge on the bottom left corner so it will indeed be an UCS set, much like what the Sandcrawler (79059) has.

Now we just have to wait for the rest of the images as well as the official LEGO press release for more details of the UCS Slave I but in the meantime, check out some of the images below. My guess is that the set will be revealed on October 6th, according to the store calendar.

LEGO DC Comics UCS The Tumbler (76023) Now Available for VIPs

August 18, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 7 Comments

The new LEGO DC Comics Super Heroes The Tumbler (76023) is now available for LEGO VIP members on Shop@Home as well as at LEGO Stores. The 1,869 piece Ultimate Collector’s Series (UCS) set is a must have for any Batman fan. The Tumbler is based on Christopher Nolan’s The Dark Knight trilogy and it also includes the Batman and Heath Ledger’s Joker minifigures. The Tumbler (76023) will be available to the general public on September 1st at LEGO Stores and on Shop@Home. Also remember that the promotion for the LEGO Creator MINI Cooper Mini Model (40109) is still going on, while supplies last. If you’re waiting for the general release in September, LEGO will be having the promo for the Classic Spaceman Minifigure so it’s a toss-up between that or the Mini MINI Cooper.

Construct and display an ultra-sleek LEGO® Super Heroes model of The Tumbler with new front wheels plus new Batman and Joker minifigures.

Is LEGO UCS Tumbler (76023) Confirmed?

June 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 6 Comments

As we mentioned in our post of the July 2014 Store Calendar, there will be an exclusive LEGO set being revealed at the 2014 San Diego Comic Con on the July 24-25. Brickset has updated their database with a listing for an Ultimate Collector Series (UCS) set with set number 76023. It is listed under the DC Comics/Universe Super Heroes theme.

As we all know, SDCC is the mecca of comic and movie news so putting two and two together, I can say with a 99.9% certainty that it will most likely be the Tumbler that we did an article about back in February. If this is true, the Tumbler will be the second Batman-themed set with UCS label with The Batmobile (7784) being the first. With all the cool sets that LEGO has released or will be releasing in the future, 2014 has been awesome so far with still six months left in the year! How do you guys feel about having a UCS Tumbler being released this year?

Update: Ed over on Brickpicker “confirms” that the set will be $199.99. Since Ed works with the prices and the database over there for the investors, maybe there’s some secret information that are in the codes. I guess we’ll see if that is correct when/if it is revealed at SDCC.

Update: Yes, the set has been confirmed! See the pictures and read more about it here.

Note: The above image is not the UCS Tumbler. It’s set 7888 from six years ago.

More Reports of LEGO UCS Slave I Releasing in 2014

June 1, 2014 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 1 Comment

DarthAlex92 on Eurobricks has reported that they have some information of a new UCS LEGO Star Wars Slave I that may be released later this year. As we reported last year, there was a rumor already that the Slave I could be coming out this year. So now there are two reports that the Slave I would become an UCS set so it’s plausible that the rumor may be true.

For the details of the UCS Slave I, it will be Boba Fett’s version and will include a brand new Boba Fett minifigure. The model of the Slave I will be similar in size of the new Imperial Star Destroyer (75055).

The information above was acquired by the DarthAlex92 from a LEGO product design manager. What are you thoughts of the new Slave I?

Update: Ed over on Brickpicker “confirms” that the set will have set number 75060 and will be priced at $199.99. Brickset already has the listing in its database as well with the same set number.
