  • So much discussion as to the first $1K UCS Star Wars set... and Imma add my two cents. I think I have a pretty good argument for what the first one thousand dollar set will be.
    I know I posted about the thumbnail a few days back... I'm gonna see how this one does and if it flops I'll switch to the other one.

      Haha! That would be awesome but impossible! From my knowledge there aren’t that many big fans of the jedi temple, and i don’t think it would sell like crazy. Something like the executor (way iconic and cool looking) would sell better. Also 50-60 figures is impossible! If we got ~10 figures with an 800$ set, i doubt lego will give us 60! Way too much! It would also make the set significantly pricier, lowering the piece count from (example) 10k pieces to ~9k. Of course im no expert but molds for figures and prints are pricey!

      I think an MBS Jedi Temple would totally sell like crazy, but I just can't see them doing it at $1,000. I personally couldn't see a Jedi Temple going for much more than like the $700 tag. Typically the vehicles are are more expensive. But, LEGO breaks their precedent all the time so maybe.

    I feel like a Jedi Temple could also be a possibility. Since it is an recognizable location, they could make it a master builder’s series to include a bunch of minifigures (+depict order 66 in a 18+ set out of a child’s price range), and it does sound structurally feasible. However, I could see the space issue coming around as a problem, so maybe the temple can be split in 2-4 parts

    • @JorgeHernandez-gm5fk
      @JorgeHernandez-gm5fk Před 2 měsíci +5

      The example Lucrehulk MOC shown in this video (35.5 inches) is only 10% longer than what a Lucrehulk would be at the same scale with the miniscale providence (Invisible Hand).
      For reference that MOC is 17k+ pieces. If a smaller, 32 inch Lucrehulk was built, it would be in the exact scale as the midi Invisible Hand and could feasably get down to ~12k pieces or less if some details/greebling were cut out. It would still be absurdly large, but not impossible to manage.
      I think the biggest hurdle is just the demand for that type of ship just isn't there unlike a Millennium Falcon/Death Star/ISD/Executor.

    I think you’re right about the Executor being a $1000 UCS set, it just won’t be the first. The first will be a Death Star playset.
    1.5 times the size of the two Death Star playsets they’ve already released, with 25 minifigures.

    • @JorgeHernandez-gm5fk
      @JorgeHernandez-gm5fk Před 2 měsíci +8

      Given that the most recent 2016 Death Star 75159 ($499) has 23 minifigs (plus R2-D2 & R3-M3), I would really want a meaningfully larger number of figs. Maybe 30? even if quite a lot were extra imperial officers/troopers.
      I think 1.5x radius of previous death stars might be too much. That would result in 2.25x the cross section area and 3.38x the volume. Lego Group could probably get away with something like 1.3x the radius (resulting in 1.7x cross section and 2.2x volume of set 75159). Weight and piece count would likely end up around 2x.

    • @SlimboneLSWC
      @SlimboneLSWC Před 2 měsíci +1

    A Minifigure scale ghost set would be my choice, but there’s no way they’d make their most expensive set a ship from an animated show. Rebels hasn’t gotten a set since s2, and the ghost was remade recently. It’ll more than likely be something more iconic from the movies, like a Falcon or Death Star remake.

    @VentisVeilborne Před 2 měsíci +6

    A 1k Super Star Destroyer would be pretty cool, could let Lego put a spot to re-create the iconic Bounty Hunter Scene from EP 5. Another thought that came to mind was when you brought up the Millennium Falcon, imagine they do a Kessel Run Millennium Falcon from Solo, have the Young Han, Young Lando, Chewy, Qi'Ra, L3-37, and maybe another minifig or 2 in the set. I'd understand the distaste for another UCS Set that could be seen as the same thing, but its an option Lego has.

    I do agree that going with a Death Star I might create a fragile model, but I think a Death Star II might present some promise. With the II, it’s got a lot of crisscrossing plates for its exposed insides, so if you were to do that throughout the structure and only have the rounded parts on the outside as decoration, the model should hold up. In other words, instead of making it hollow, use your $1000 worth of LEGOs to fill it in and give it some structure and stability.

I am not a huge Lego collector and even a smaller ucs like the X-Wing would be too big for me, even if I had the space I wouldn't want a huge set taking it up, but a malevolence, I'll make space. It has an older version which I would love to get my hands on sometimes (500$ used😭) but that's pretty small.

    - the bunker
    - speeders
    - wampa cave
    - trenches
    - reconnaissance droid
    Etcetera
    Or the jedi temple? The building is iconic and could have so many Easter eggs and play features.
    Maybe a ucs millennium falcon but lego introduces a sort powered up effects kit with light sound and movement.

  • @FlipORican00
    @FlipORican00 Před 2 měsíci

    I also think increasing the number of minifigures and massively printing those minifgures, could help reach the $1000 mark. Going back to the Sand Crawler, what if they include Luke, Uncle Owen, 1/2 a dozen Jawas and 1/2 dozen Droids with detailed printing (arms, legs, backs, etc) could help to account for the higher price. Not to mention if they avoid stickers and use more printed parts, would also justify the higher price. One of the complaints about Star Wars UCS sets are the use of stickers instead of printing. But honestly, Lego's goal would be to sells set at a price point they know they could sell a lot of the set. At $500, they could sell a fair amount, but when you go to $1000, that number will decrease of those that could easily drop $1000 on a set. Lastly, within the Lego community there are differences in collectors, as some focus more on minifigure collecting and will buy sets just for the minifigures and end up parting out the set or selling it without the minifigures online at a much lower price. I myself prefer to buy minifigures, as they do take up less space for me to display that some sets. And honestly, sets can be easily built from random parts, unless they have some unique parts that a person can only get by buy the set, much like the minifigures.

    I just think it would be super cool to get a UCS version of the Solo: a Star Wars story Millennium Falcon. It would be massive. Think about how many pieces you could add to the front section for the escape pod. It would also make the set considerably longer than previous versions, and you could include a minifigure of L-3 and some anniversary minifigure.

Because it also looks good when we pose it with the other normal sized vehicles and the minifigs. Like it makes sense to get them in a large scale. Not many would want Luke's landspeeder as a UCS, but we have that.
    But one ship I feel that was missed from the list and I'm surprised we haven't gotten it till now (probably because of the complexity of the outer shell) would be the Munificent-class star frigate.
    Either that or the invisible hand would be great when placed next to the UCS Venator

    I thought that cloud city would at least get mentioned here. I mean it only had two sets to this point and both of them are selling for a crazy prices on the second marcet, so the demand is deffinetly there. Its also very iconic location, and if done right I think it could look pretty good on display as well. The only things I see issues with is the room it would take and the, and the consideration if it can even be done by lego in this scale. Over all I dont think it would be the one, but I sure think its at least a good contestant

  • @n_ex13

    Really there are three possibilities
    1. And probably the most likely
    Inflation and scale creep increase prices till some half important set cracks that barrier
    2.Full fan appeal.
    Appeal to a small amount of people ridiculously expensive set and ignore the mass appeal entirely, probably only producing as many as were pre orders. Probably the least likely option
    3.The death star. (Or maybe tantive)
    You want the widest pool of people to appeal to as physically possible. The sequel trilogy doesn't even have enough have appeal for a regular ucs, the prequels are more popular but a lot still don't like them and we are going for max mass appeal.
    The ot has the only option but even then you can only get the most wanted and iconic ships
    And well even the executer isn't that iconic and well we just got a version.
    It also can't be any fighter because you have to isolate that ship don't with another version of itself.
    The regular star destroyer is possible but unlikely since we already got a version fairly recently
    The tantiv 4 is a good possibility while not quite on the level of the big six ships it is still extremely popular and iconic and well physically possible.
    Really if possible the death star it has no prior versions to compare to and will be the center piece of any collections

    I think a standard Imperial Star Destroyer would be much cooler. The bridge on it makes for a better model to build. They just came out with the smaller version so I think that will be the next kit close to 1k, but I'm thinking it will be more in line with $899 instead.

  • @otminealnamer1385

    Would rather the first $1000 set be something that pulls out all the stops like a master builder set. UCS sets are mostly just for display, whereas master builder includes high levels of both detail AND play features, basically being the pinnacle of lego design for the theme at the time. They did incredibly well with the Cantina, not just because it looks great and has a lot of functions, but because it's also modular meaning it's easy to find space for it. I find it hard to justify $1000 for a pure display set, but something with both form AND function? Much more reasonable. Ideas for them:
    Jedi Temple
    A FULL Yavin 4 base/Massassi temple
    Geonosian Arena
    Geonosian Droid Factory
    Theed and its occupation(My personal favorite)
    Jabba's palace
    Battle of Kashyyyk
    Coruscant senate building
    Kamino Tipoca City
    Otoh Gunga

    My thoughts were the exact same about the Executor. Additionally, I feel that the original kit was not well executed (see the complete lack of detail on the underside), and it is due for a refresh, a la the 2 ISD kits. It would probably take $1k in parts to upgrade it, though.😅

  • @kerimbozkurt3301

    Executor would sell no matter what, I think lego might go to $1,200 range and still sell it.
    For other contenders, I would put my vote at
    - Mon Calamari Star Cruiser
    - Nebulon-B Frigate ( although it lost UCS voting it would make an amazing display piece)
    - Slave I ( I am not a fan myself but everyone I know would jump on it).
    Oh, I don’t know how would they display it vertically but Grand Admiral’s own Star Destroyer Chimaera, that would be amazing UCS set.

    You mentioned "Space" as an issue for the lucrehulk, And I feel like any 1K set would have that issue. Also Depending on the success of the new Midi Scale line, I have a feeling lego might shy away from Giant expensive sets Especially with current inflation and that, more people will buy a smaller Midi scale set thats waay cheaper vs the inverse. As much as Id love a Minifig Turbo tank or A huge Executor, Most people can't Drop or rationalize spending $1000 dollars on essentially a brick.

    Another possibility is a set featuring a minifig-scale trio of Jabba’s Khetanna, Skiff, and Sarlaac. Not only is it one of the most iconic ground-based scenes from the original trio, the minifig of Leia alone may drive up the demand.

    I personally think a location build from Star Wars, as opposed to starship builds, would be pretty costly, and due to many iconic locations from Star Wars (like Coruscant, Bespin, Naboo, Mos Eisley, etc.) people would clear really big spots on their shelves just to showcase these locations in lego diorama form. I say this mostly because Lego themselves made Rivendell (from the Lord of the Rings) a really decent UCS type build in recent months, and pretty reasonably, it would only make sense that they would make other builds like it, and what's a better franchise to do that from than Star Wars?
    I mean, I'd love to see Endor in UCS scale, we've only had playsets of it here and there.
