LEGO wants to know what UCS sets you'd like to see. If you have an interest, stop by and put in your vote! Tim (URL) if the link doesn't show, use the "From Bricks to Bothans" link on the .starwars main pag (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Hmm... I'm guessing that the #1 UCS set that we all want is... Millenium Falcon! Followed by AT-AT and perhaps a Star Destroyer... Those were my votes in that order by the way. AND I'd be willing to pay $200+ if the model is good! :) Bryan (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Now what would be really cool is if they made the UCS Falcon near-minifig scale so you could convert it. :^) I suppose for it to remain below $250 it would need to be pretty close to the correct scale anyway. ~Mark (...) interest, (...) Millenium (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

Ok first... My three were the B-wing, AAT and the Falcon. Second, I was sitting here thinking... if LEGO did come out with a $300 Falcon set... it MIGHT not do that well at retail. I am not that sure what the cost for them would be for packaging (as (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

I really think a UCS A-Wing would be great, and because of the size of the ship they could probably make the thing for $100. My choices were largely based on reality, I can easily imagine a UCS A-Wing or B-Wing or even AT-ST, but I cannot imagine a (...) (25 years ago, 28-Apr-00, to lugnet.starwars)

(...) Making the Death Star as a UCS set wouldn't make sense. In order to make it large enough to see sufficient detail to justify the UCS status, it would have to be huge. I'm not interested in a $500 model that's essentially a gray sphere. I want (...) (25 years ago, 1-May-00, to lugnet.starwars)
