Those Paradiso sets have dope base-plates.

That's how I found them. I was browsing different baseplates for pirates stuff and saw one I hadn't seen. That led to more. And they all seem to be unique. I think 3 of them are ocean/water based and can only be found in 1 set.

E: it seems there were a lot of baseplates unique to a single set in the 90s. I am guessing that is a part of the reason Lego was struggling. But man, a lot of those are really cool.

I always secretly wanted those sets as a kid, but I did think they were too "girly" and never asked for or bought them. Gender norms are weird and dumb.

Actually I reckon the Paradiso base plates probably fit together in texture and theme like this:

pre:

     6416
6410 6411
     6414

There's probably a catalogue somewhere which shows a combined layout or something. Would look super awesome.

I don't think it is an 8193 piece set.

But a 30x54x60 cm box is possible.

As someone on reddit noticed, it's probably the Millenium Falcon. That or Lego are massive trolls and just used a falcon box under the wrapping to mess with people.

This one is easier to see.

A lego logo, and then the falcon cockpit. But maybe they are just using an old box because they don't have a new box.

I see it, it just seems weird they'd use the London bus as a comparison.

I've been working mad overtime the last few months, so if it really is a new UCS Falcon, I'm getting it no matter what it costs.

I guess I have till it comes out to figure out where to put it in my small and already overcrowded with stuff flat.

It's weird that that Double Decker bus has just launched. My Lego store has literally had it on the shelves for most of July.

Go left from the lego logo in the picture. Even though it is upside down. the cockpit starts approx 20% of the way between the edge and the logo moving L to R. It's about 20% below the top of the logo, as well. Also, above it you can see the outline of the lego logo through the paper.

You won't be able to see it on a phone.

Ah, yup. That's almost certainly the falcon.

Man, I'm torn on how much I'm gonna want that but the 5-600 it's going to cost is more than I'd ever want to pay for a Lego set.
