He writes on the #75182 LEGO Star Wars Republic Fighter Tank: “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.” Of course, this could mean any large set, however, Hans is known to work on large LEGO Star Wars sets, including LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series releases (see the sets he worked on here). In addition, Brickset members discovered that LEGO designer Hans Burkhard Schlömer made a curious little note on one of the recent LEGO Star Wars sets he worked on. #75192 has been allocated to a LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series set for quite some time now, but there have been no updates on what it might be. There is even a set number in the Brickset database that seems to fit this theory. However, most LEGO fans seem to be coming to the conclusion that this must be the new LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon, or at least there is a great hope. Plus, when you look at manipulated images like this long enough, you can pretty much start to see anything in the strange shapes and shadows (see the large version of the image here, if you want to do some box gazing). On the other hand, it is surprising that the normally very prominent Star Wars logo and Disney logo don’t show up on the box, even on enhanced images. And, it appears that turning the box upside down, and adjusting colors and saturation, reveals the LEGO logo, as well as what looks like the outline of the Millennium Falcon’s cockpit and some other bits. It turns out that the white cover is indeed over a regular LEGO box, and you can make out some of the graphics underneath. LEGO fans who are savvy with Photoshop have been playing around with the image of the white box to see if they can find any clues. However, it does make sense to release a very large set for the 40th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars, and fans have been asking for a remake of the LEGO Star Wars UCS Millennium Falcon, so it’s quite possible. If you are familiar with that set and know how massive it is, seeing that the mystery set is even larger is hard to comprehend. Since it was retired, it has been selling on the secondary market for around $3,000.Ĭomparing box sizes again, the #10179 LEGO Star Wars Millennium Falcon came in a 64x48x20 cm box, which adds up to 61,440 cm³. It is one of the largest LEGO Star Wars sets ever released, and one of the largest LEGO sets up to date. The set was 5,197 pieces, with an original price of $499.99. The highly coveted #10179 LEGO Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon (pictured above) was released ten years ago to commemorate the 30th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars. Rumors have been circulating since as far back as 2014 of a new and updated LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Series Millennium Falcon. All of these are still possibilities, however, there is one candidate that seems to have the most credibility and consistent rumors around it… Some people are also hoping for a LEGO Lord of the Rings Minas Tirith, or a new LEGO Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle, or even just a generic LEGO Castle. Of course, the main question is, what’s in the box? There are a number of reasonable suggestions by LEGO fans, like a very large LEGO Technic set to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the theme, or a sizable LEGO Creator set (new LEGO Modular Building, new LEGO Winter Village set, or replica of a historical/real life building, etc.). The mystery box is almost twice as large! Did I say it’s going to be big? Yeah, very big! □ That’s a box size of 48x45x45 cm (if it is square-ish like on the picture), or about 19x18x18 inches! That’s absolutely massive! To give you another comparison, the #75827 LEGO Ghostbusters Firehouse Headquarters, which is one of the largest LEGO boxes ever made, is 58×48.5×18.5 cm, or 52,040 cm³. According to the tweet, the mystery set is 97,200 cm³ (20,000 x 4.86). In regards to the box size, the recently released #10258 LEGO Creator London Bus comes in a box that is 20,064 cm³ (48x38x11cm), which LEGO rounded down to 20,000 cm³. A couple of days ago, LEGO tweeted an image of a mysterious box with the caption, “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!” As you can imagine, the online LEGO community has been abuzz ever since, with speculations about what the set can be.
