I don’t think it’s wrong of LEGO to do this, and I was pretty certain that they would give us another Millennium Falcon anyway due to its extreme popularity among collectors. I actually think that the price of the original sets might even go down now that a better-designed one is coming out.

Or maybe I’m wrong and the price will increase. That would make me very sad. And poor.
