First up we have a new UCS Snowspeeder - due in November from LEGO Direct.
I’m working on gathering final details, so stay tuned on that one. Also, for
those of you who are getting your Cloud City sets (and Marty sends word they
are shipping in Australia) you’ll find a surprise on the back - an image of
another redesigned set for January of 2004 . . .
A new Millennium Falcon.
I brought this here to discuss. While I am schyed for the UCS Snowspeeder, I
do have my opinions on the Millenium Falcon.
What is LEGO doing here? Okay, they have a license that is worth a lot and
they need to capitalize on this. OK. There are lots of possibilities around
for many new sets (Jawa Sandcrawler, Hoth Playsets, Death Star Playsets, Sail
Barge, the list goes on...) but instead, (at least for 2004) LEGO is loading
the line with redesigned reissues. (X-Wing and now Millinuim Falcon) While I
love the design of the new X-Wing, why couldn’t they do it right once and
leave it be?
The 7190 Millienium Falcon is a bad set, I agree. However, for those that
spent upwards of $300, it sure is unfair that we now have 2 versions floating
around, and in order to stay complete in your collection or keep up to date
with your minifig sets, you will have to fork out another $100 to buy
Millenium Falcon #2.
I have very mixed emotions on this, what do others think?

I buy LEGO to play and have fun. This is what the core of the LEGO hobby is all
about: a great toy to that inspries the creativity in all of us. Nothing make
me happier than when someone says “I don’t like the look of that set but look at
all the great pieces you get!”. The LEGO is not like baseball cards, coins or
stamps where each item is unique and collectible. The people who buy these sets
to sell at incredibly inflated prices later down the road (speculators) do
nothing but a disservice to the LEGO hobby.
