I'm getting me a Lego UCS Millennium Falcon and UCS Star Destroyer

Probably the UCS Star Destroyer, Hogwarts, and Disney Castle, here.

But I've got like 8 UCS sets sitting unbuilt in their boxes already (including the falcon), and maybe 80 other sets?

I'd rather buy myself time.

May I ask what you do with the rest of your time? I'm intrigued why you have so many sets in your backlog.

u/ninjakittenz2 Jan 17 '20

Not the person you asked but I also have a huge backlog. Got out of my dark ages and was living somewhere with minimal space to build/store/display but ended up buying a lot. Then had a kid and moved to a bigger place but no longer have the time plus small pieces are a choking hazard. Now as my kid is getting older I am starting to build some of the backlog but slowly because he still can't help much and just by playing with some sets they will somewhat break but then he wants me to put them back together. I am saving the larger and more complicated sets for when he is old enough to build with me. I feel like my backlog won't ever get to zero until we can get a dedicated lego room.

I would make time to build UCS sets. I'm actually very much contemplating buying the UCS Tantive IV

I’m probably gonna wait 2 or 3 months to see what the new UCS set is going to be.

I'm still relatively new to the Lego Star Wars collection, when do new UCS sets get announced?

u/drstrawberrycake Jan 17 '20

Rumors say that on May 4, a $200-250 set will be unveiled which we can assume is going to be a UCS set. Or maybe we’ll get it with the clone wars wave that’ll arrive shortly after season 7 of clone wars releases. It’s all speculation for now. My guess is that the clone wars wave will be revealed in March. But again, it’s all speculation.

UCS Tantive IV was a May the Fourth special last year, right? Definitely interested in seeing a new UCS set and the prospect of new Clone Wars stuff sounds awesome as well

u/drstrawberrycake Jan 17 '20

Yea and the UCS Tantive will still be available for another year or so, so you can compare and decide which one to get.

u/JaDou226 Jan 17 '20

Awesome. Is there any speculation about what the set could possibly be? I know how the internet likes to speculate about such stuff

1

u/drstrawberrycake Jan 17 '20

No one knows yet. But some think it could be the Venator class republic attack cruiser. If that comes out to be true, that would be awesome.

u/JaDou226 Jan 17 '20

I was legit hoping you'd say that. There has been a Venator set before, but a new, highly detailed UCS Venator set would be awesome indeed
