For UCS I'm putting my money on a Falcon, a TIE, an Imperial shuttle, and a
Star Destroyer. Since there's no real scale to worry about with UCS sets,
all of these are possible, and would make sense due to the "recognition factor."
With any luck we'll also get a UCS Death Star... Lego's already designed a
Death Star (as evidenced by the various displays around the world) and there
really is no reason for Lego NOT to release it as a UCS set.
A-Wings and B-Wings are both possabilities, but I don't think we'll see a
Land Speeder or a Cloud Car. While the Land Speeder is highly recognizable,
it's not really something that most people (including huge Star Wars fans
like myself) really care too much about. As for the Cloud Car, I wouldn't
even know what the thing was if I wasn't a SW fan... it's too obscure. It'd
be a great source for orange pieces, but I don't think we'll see it.
Of course, I think we'd all like to see UCS AT-ATs, AT-STs, Speeder Bikes,
Snow Speeders, and Ships from Episode 1 (Queen's ship, Naboo fighter, Droid
Control Ship, etc.)
Personally I hope that the UCS isn't limited to the Star Wars line... I'd
really like to see some UCS cars and military aircraft.
Anyway, we don't really know if Lego's going to be continuing the UCS line
at all... there's been no official word of anything yet.
