🚀 LEGO Leaks
Last updated: September 12, 2026
Two things are happening at once, and together they are about to cause a lot of people to make an expensive mistake.
The first: 75192 Millennium Falcon, the 7,541-piece UCS monster that has been on shelves since 2017, is expected to retire around the end of this year. The second: a brand new UCS Millennium Falcon has leaked for 2027, reportedly set number 75487, arriving as soon as October.
The instinct is obvious. Retiring UCS Falcon, buy it now, watch it appreciate like the old one did. That is what everybody did in 2010 and it worked spectacularly.
I do not think it works this time, and the numbers are not close. Here is the case.
Before we dig in. The 75487 details are unconfirmed leak-tier information from the LEGO rumor community, not an official announcement. Set number, date and specs can all change. Secondary-market figures below are recent averages and they move. A few links below are affiliate links, to LEGO.com and Amazon, and only ever for the set you can actually buy today. If you buy through one we earn a small commission at no extra cost to you, and it never changes what we tell you. Nothing here is investment advice.
The Short Version
What Leaked About 75487
The details are thin but the sourcing is decent. Leaker CarterBricks04 posted information said to come from an unlocked LEGO file, and maxbautde reported the set number and window. Both have reasonable track records.
What is claimed: 75487 UCS Millennium Falcon, arriving October 2027, taking over almost immediately after 75192 leaves shelves. No piece count, no price, no images.
The timing fits a pattern that is hard to ignore. There has been a UCS Falcon roughly every ten years: 10179 in 2007, 75192 in 2017, and now a rumored 75487 in 2027. And 2027 is the 50th anniversary of Star Wars, which is already shaping up to be the biggest year LEGO has ever planned for the licence.
If you were LEGO, launching a new Falcon in the anniversary year is exactly what you would do. It would also not be alone: a UCS Super Star Destroyer (75457) has leaked for October 2026 at a rumored $799.99, so LEGO appears to be lining up back-to-back UCS heavyweights.
Why Everyone Assumes You Should Buy Now
Because last time, buying was the right answer, and dramatically so.
The original 10179 UCS Millennium Falcon launched in 2007 at $499.99 with 5,196 pieces and retired in May 2010. Today, on completed US sales, it averages roughly $2,035 sealed, with US sellers asking an average of $3,250. That is around four times its retail price, and it is the single most cited example in every conversation about LEGO holding value. Fair warning on that figure: only three sealed copies sold in the US window we pulled, because almost nobody is parting with one. Thin data, but the direction is not in doubt.
The 2007 original (10179). Launched at $499.99, now averages around $2,035 sealed on US sales. This is the set everyone is thinking of when they tell you to buy the current one.
So the logic writes itself: retiring UCS Falcon, therefore buy, therefore profit. Every deal forum on the internet is about to say exactly that.
Why This Time Looks Different
Three things separate 75192 from the set everyone is comparing it to.
1. It is already trading below retail. This is the number that should stop you. We pulled BrickLink’s price guide directly and filtered it to United States sellers only, because a global average mixes in markets where LEGO pricing and shipping look nothing like ours. Across 14 completed US sales of new, sealed copies, the 75192 sold for an average of $689.10 against its $849.99 sticker. It is moving for roughly 19 percent under retail while it is still in production. The 10179 was never in that position.
There is a second number worth sitting with, and it is the one nobody reports. At the same moment, US sellers were asking an average of $1,207.38 across 45 listings, also for sealed copies. So sellers want $1,194 and buyers are actually paying $689. That gap is the entire story: plenty of people already believe this set is the next 10179 and have priced their copies that way, and the market is quietly declining to agree.
Worth noting we checked whether geography was skewing this, and it is not. The global sold average was $676.42 across 39 sales, within about two percent of the US-only figure. Wherever you look, this set changes hands below retail.
BrickLink price guide, sealed/new, filtered to United States sellers, pulled September 12, 2026. Sold figures are completed sales from the last six months; asking figures are current listings. Sample sizes are noted above because some are small. Secondary prices move.
2. LEGO made a lot of them, for a long time. The 10179 was on sale for about three years in an era when LEGO produced far fewer UCS sets and the adult collector market was a fraction of its current size. The 75192 has been in continuous production for close to a decade, through the entire boom in adult LEGO. Scarcity is what drove the 10179, and 75192 does not have it.
3. A replacement is coming almost immediately. This is the part most people are missing. When a newer, presumably improved Falcon lands in 2027, a chunk of the demand that would have chased the retiring 75192 goes to the new one instead. The 10179 got seven years alone before 75192 arrived. The 75192 may get seven months.
4. This set has been “about to retire” for six years. This is the one that should really settle it, and it is the part almost nobody brings up. The 75192 was first expected to retire around 2020. Then it was extended to at least the end of 2022. Then it got pushed again. And again. Brick Fanatics has run headlines like “retirement postponed yet again” and “will it ever retire?”, and at one point LEGO reportedly described the set as simply always available.
Sit with what that means. The retirement alarm on this set has gone off roughly every two years since 2020, and every single time, the people who panic-bought on it ended up holding a set that LEGO kept right on making. Nine years of production. Those buyers are the reason there are 45 sealed copies sitting on BrickLink today asking more than anyone is paying.
The current date is December 31, 2026, and it is sourced from a retailer retirement sheet rather than an announcement from LEGO. It might hold. It has not held four times before.
Even the optimistic projections reflect this. Current modelling puts 75192 at roughly 20 percent above retail two years after retirement, with a plausible range from about 2 percent to 35 percent. That is a normal set. That is not a four-times-retail set.
And here is the part that makes those asking prices absurd
The 75192 has not retired. It is in stock right now at LEGO at the full $849.99, and it is routinely a few percent cheaper than that on Amazon. Not a pre-order, not a waitlist. You can buy a brand new sealed one today.
And to be clear about what those listings actually are: the $1,194 average is for brand new, sealed copies, the same condition LEGO is shipping today. So a BrickLink seller is asking roughly 44 percent more for a sealed box than the price of simply buying that identical sealed box from LEGO. That is not a market rate. That is someone hoping you did not check. The completed-sales data, also sealed, says almost nobody is falling for it.
Our own 75192, with the small-scale Falcon parked underneath it for scale. Yes, I own this set. I am still telling you not to panic-buy one.
So Should You Buy It?
Depends entirely on why you are buying, and it is worth being honest about which one you are.
If you want to build it: yes, but buy it new, and wait for a discount. The 75192 is a genuinely great build and one of the best display pieces LEGO has ever made. It is also still on shelves, so there is no reason to touch the secondary market at all right now. It goes on sale too: third party retailers have discounted it repeatedly, and Amazon usually runs a bit under MSRP. Retiring sets often see one more round of markdowns before stock dries up. Paying $849.99 in a panic in November when it was $699 in October would be the actual mistake here. You can check the current price at LEGO.com and watch it from there.
If you are buying it to flip: I would not. A set already trading below retail, with a decade of production behind it and a replacement arriving within a year, is close to the worst profile you can pick for appreciation. If you want a LEGO set that goes up, the honest answer is that gift-with-purchase promos and short-run exclusives have far better track records than flagship sets everybody owns.
If you want the newest and best: wait for 75487. If the leak holds, you are a year out from a redesigned Falcon in the anniversary year. There is no reason to spend $850 now on the version being replaced.
StudDad’s Take
I want to be careful here, because “retiring soon” is the most effective marketing phrase in this entire hobby and it works on me too. It is designed to convert patience into urgency, and it is very good at it. We went through this at length when 130 sets retired in July, and the conclusion was the same: most of them could wait.
But the 10179 comparison people are about to make everywhere is doing a lot of heavy lifting it has not earned. That set was scarce, short-run, and had no successor for seven years. The 75192 is none of those things. Repeating a nine-year-old outcome onto a completely different set is how people end up with $850 of regret in a closet.
And genuinely, the BrickLink asking prices on this thing are hard to explain. The set is sitting on LEGO’s own website at $849.99. Anyone asking $1,200 for a sealed one, while LEGO will sell you the same sealed box for $849.99, is not reading a market. They are running a hope. The completed sales tell the real story every time, which is exactly why we look at those and not at what people wish their box was worth.
For what it is worth, I own the 75192. It is on a table in my house and it is the best-looking thing LEGO makes. I am not talking anyone out of it because I think it is a bad set. I am saying that buying it as an asset, at full price, in a panic, because a nine-year-old comparison is circulating again, is a different decision than buying it because you want it.
The Falcon is worth owning. Just buy it because you want to build the Millennium Falcon, at a price you are happy with, and let the appreciation be a bonus rather than the plan.
We will update this page as 75487 firms up, and the moment we see real discounting on 75192 we will flag it.
UCS Millennium Falcon FAQ
Is there a new UCS Millennium Falcon coming?
According to leaks, yes. A new UCS Millennium Falcon is rumored as set 75487, targeting October 2027. It would be the third UCS Falcon, following 10179 in 2007 and 75192 in 2017. LEGO has not confirmed it.
When is the LEGO Millennium Falcon (75192) retiring?
It is widely expected to retire around the end of 2026, after roughly nine years in production. LEGO has not published an official retirement date.
Will the 75192 Millennium Falcon go up in value after it retires?
Probably somewhat, but not dramatically. On completed US BrickLink sales it currently trades at around $688 sealed, below its $849.99 retail price, while sellers ask an average of $1,221. Projections put it near 20 percent above retail two years after retirement, with a range of roughly 2 to 35 percent. That is far below the 2007 original, which sells for about four times retail.
How much is the old LEGO Millennium Falcon (10179) worth?
The 2007 UCS Millennium Falcon launched at $499.99 and now averages roughly $2,035 sealed on completed US BrickLink sales, with sellers asking north of $3,000. It was produced in far smaller numbers than the current version and had no successor for seven years.
Should I buy the Millennium Falcon before it retires?
Buy it if you want to build and display it, ideally on a discount rather than at full price. We would not buy it as an investment: it already sells below retail, LEGO produced it for nearly a decade, and a replacement is rumored for 2027, all of which work against strong appreciation.
How many pieces is the 75192 Millennium Falcon?
7,541 pieces at $849.99, making it one of the largest LEGO sets ever released. The 2007 original had 5,196 pieces at $499.99.
The Leak & Sources
Newest first. This is where we log updates, so check back as 75487 firms up and as 75192 approaches retirement.
September 12, 2026: Re-checked again. Still no new hard details on 75487: still October 2027, still no price or piece count. A second outlet (thedirect.com, Aug 30) independently corroborated the 75192 retirement date via the same Brick Tap sourcing, as part of a wider list of 10 Star Wars sets retiring in 2026, which strengthens confidence in the December 31 date without changing it. BrickLink’s sold average on 75192 is flat at $689.10; the asking average ticked up from $1,194.19 to $1,207.38, so the gap between what sellers want and what buyers actually pay is still enormous. The thesis holds.
August 28, 2026: Re-checked everything. No new hard details on 75487: still October 2027, still no confirmed price or piece count. A $1,000 figure is circulating on YouTube thumbnails, but no reputable outlet has sourced it and Brick Fanatics still reports price and piece count as unknown, so we are not repeating it. We refreshed the BrickLink numbers (75192 sold average moved $688.42 to $689.10, asking dropped $1,221.34 to $1,207.38, so the gap is still enormous) and added a fourth reason to the case below: this set has been “about to retire” since 2020.
August 15, 2026: We published this page. New details get added at the top as they surface.
Mid 2026: A new UCS Millennium Falcon (75487, October 2027) was reported by leakers CarterBricks04 and maxbautde, alongside wider 2027 and 2028 leaks including Helm’s Deep and a Daily Planet modular. Covered by Brick Fanatics and Stonewars. Secondary-market figures pulled by us from the BrickLink price guide, sealed condition, US sellers only.
