What should the next Ultimate Collector Series set be?
Posted by CapnRex101,The enduring Ultimate Collector Series continues to grow annually, expanding to include a broader range of subjects than ever before!
Nevertheless, there are countless more potential vehicles and locations suited to the series, hence we asked for suggestions from Brickset readers and received over 300 comments in response. These suggestions have now been narrowed to eighteen options, including possible additions to the Ultimate Collector Series and the Master Builder Series. Vote for up to three options below...
We also received plenty of suggestions for sets that could be revisited, so will publish a separate poll about those.
Which prospective set(s) did you vote for? Let us know in the comments.

I voted Lucrehulk-class Battleship.
I don't buy a lot of Star Wars Lego just the odd set I really like. From the options here I would guess I'm way off the target market possibly. I'd want buildings and landscape sets with lots of details. Almost like a scaled up version of the dioramas.
I plumped for Endor and Geonosis.
I'd really like to see a large scale Empire hangar with the fighters and loads of troops or even Hoth rebel base kinda like the LOTR Rivendell.
Anything but another big grey spaceship.
Voted AT-TE, Jabba's Palace, and ARC-170
100% Geonosian arena.
And then. . . I guess I also voted Ghost and AT-TE.
But GEONOSIAN ARENA!
Honestly only picked one because it was the only one I was interested in, the Nebulon. Such a unique looking space ship, I always appreciated it. Would be the third of the UCS/MasterBuilders that I picked up (Ewok Village and Mos Eisley Cantina being the others). I prefer the swooshible ships :)
Never got too excited about Home One (space pickle), and I agree with Zink that a lot would be better play sets.
The Ghost is the only one I really want. The others are better as playsets.
I voted Nebulon-B, Jango Fett's Slave I, and TIE Bomber.
AT-TE would look awesome, I think! Also voted for Nebulon and Jabba's sail barge. UCS playsets I don't care much for.
No Lambda-class Shuttle?
I voted Anakin's Jedi Interceptor and Geonosis Arena.
Dang. No Hammerhead Corvette.
I'm kinda surprised to see (spoilers for poll results) that the Ghost is number 1. We just got a really good minifig-scale Ghost only this year, so I'm not sure we need another one right now, but I'd like to see one eventually.
But I still want a Hammerhead Corvette.
I got one right at the top - Ghost, one in the middle - Jabba's Sail Barge and one near the bottom - Clone Turbo Tank.
I would have voted for the Ghost, but while I think that should be a future UCS set, I don't think that should be the NEXT UCS set, as we just had a Ghost set.
Based on the results, people are starving for MBS as Geonosian Arena, Jedi Temple and Jabba's Palace are ranked 2-4. Interesting as some of the recent "MBS" sets didn't sell well - Cloud City & Assault on Hoth. Although it seems like the Cantina has been a hit.
Jabba's Palace done properly with a Rancor pit would be awesome, but as something we've not seen before I think the Jedi Temple could be interesting.
I'll echo the above of 'anything but another big grey block'.
I have voted, but man the current prices have got me thinking I might get out. I am complete currently, but...
No Ebon Hawk, Star Forge, Raven’s Claw or Rogue Shadow? Those ships and command stations ( Star Forge) need more representation.
Truth is that Lego is NOT a great medium to be making detailed and realistic models with. It's too blocky, too low-resolution. It makes for extremely fun toys, a great creative play tool, but when you start to depart minifig-compatible sets for the realms of realism, it just falls short.
To the point then, while a big toy Lucrehulk or Home One would be a fine idea, both would look utterly rubbish when rendered in Lego. The Jedi Temple would be good, but possibly better as a microscale Architecture-style set than something so big it dominates the coffee table.
No option for an Admiral Ackbar bust similar to the Black Panther one?
Jabba’s Sail Barge again for me please
No Jar Jar bust? I demand a recount! ;-P

That would be an update on 10212 Imperial Shuttle, so will appear in the other poll focusing on UCS and MBS sets to revisit.

Much though I would love a UCS Ebon Hawk, for example, it is just not a realistic prospect at the moment. Maybe if the video game remake progresses, although even then I think vehicles from other video games, like the Stinger Mantis, would have a better chance.
Can someone explain to me why people are so hyped and really want a UCS Ghost?
It’s honestly not that cool of a ship, it also looks like Disney copied the Ebon Hawk from KOTOR and added some color on it and made it white. It’s also gotten 2 play sets in 9 years. There are so many other ships that haven’t even gotten a plays set or a Minifig from like Dark Alliance or Star Wars Jedi Knight. Force Unleashed got one play set in 2008 and KOTOR got 1 minifig that goes for $230 in 2014. All of the video game ships look way cooler than the current Disney ships that Disney has either copied and added color to like the Ghost or copied and pasted them from other movies or media. It just completely sucks.
Nebulon B is definitely the top choice for me.
Jedi Temple needs to happen sooner or later,
A large Jabba Palace with Rancor would be good, and similar to the Death Star's can have all the characters.
lastly went for Home One, there hasnt been any Mon-Cala ships so would be good to get and go against some of the many Star Destroyers. and I would be curious to see if they can pull it off. and with its recent apperance in Ahsoka, maybe renewed interest in the ship?
Geonosian Arena is another good choice and needs to happen,
TBH, Just want a play scale version of of them. but these seem likely that any builds would have to be larger sets to capture everything they need to. (unless they split Jabba's Palace over 2 sets like last time)

@Endermen39 it's probably because people love the show/the characters associated with it. I felt the same way about the Razor Crest. I thought it was kind of ugly, but it won me over because of how many great memories are associated with it. Of course then they went and blew it up...
I voted TIE Bomber--it's the last UCS I want as I stick mainly to OT. But I have to admit brick-built monsters from Geonosian Arena would be pretty great to see even if I didn't buy it. And if they made Mando's N-1, I'd definitely get that though I don't think it's likely.
I don't care what it is, I just want it to be affordable. Never thought I'd miss the days UCS sets were $250-$300. This $600+ price trend needs to go away.
I love the Master Builder Series. I think those have the broadest appeal to both adult collectors and playability for kids. Love to see the Jedi Temple in this aspect.
the HAVW A6 Juggernaut would be insane
My personal three are Jabba’s Palace (sail barge would be cool too), Endor Shield Bunker, and the Geonosian Arena.
Jabba’s Palace would be amazing because I love the structure with all the pillars on the side, and since it resides on top of a hill with a garage below it, you could easily place the Rancor pit in there. It would also be a great opportunity to provide unique minifigures.
I love Endor so I want a shield bunker in general, and making it an MBS set could allow for more detail and minifigures.
The Geonosian Arena would be lacking in color, but I don’t think that the structure wouldn’t get boring, and again, lots of minifigures.
I don’t care much for a Jedi Temple. It would get very repetitive and many of the minifigures could be placed in sets like the Geonosian Arena.
I went for Anakin's Interceptor, Jabba's Palace, and Nebulon-B Frigate. Both the Jedi Interceptor and Nebulon-B are just interesting ships. So different yet so stylish. The TIE Bomber was a close fourth.
I can see a huge UCS/MBS Jabba's Palace set being a blast, particularly if it can open up and has the iconic look from the outside, and full of scenes and play features from Return of the Jedi and Book of Boba Fett on the inside. Of course it could be too big, too amazing...
When I tried to click on one, but missed and hit the name, the link took me to the Wookieepedia page for it. I just wanted to say that I thought that was really cool.
One with an interior
Really want a regular N1 Straighter
I just want an Invisible Hand (Grievous' Command Ship) that is either play or midi-scale because it's such a unique-looking ship. I couldn't care less about a UCS sized one looking good alongside the Venator that most of us cannot afford.
TIE bomber, until it happens or I die.
Consider edit title, wasn't clear it's just about SW
My votes went to Ghost, Jabba’s Palace and the Geonosian Arena. Fingers crossed!!
I went for Jedi Temple, Geonosian Arena and Jabba’s Palace all would make excellent MBS sets with good figure possibilities.

Lucky most of my choices that I really wanted as sets were from old games and didn’t even make it on the list.

We want a UCS Ghost because it's cool! A Ghost with a full interior would be great.
The Ghost is quite different from the Ebon Hawk- I suggest you look at some pictures of both ships.

Yeah. I was recalling both ships from memory and in a way the ghost looks like a scrunched up modern white colored Ebon Hawk but with large pyramid shaped wings.
Also I’m not a fan of the Disney shows, don’t have Disney+ and don’t really care to watch them because of how much Disney has disgraced the original trilogy characters and even prequel. VADER LET THE REBELS ESCAPE FROM THE DEATH STAR SO THEY WOULD LEAD THEM TO THEIR BASE! The stormtroopers were never bad shots. I’ll stick with my pre-Disney Star Wars. I would rather watch Attack of the clone over Disney’s shows any day. I really don’t understand the hype. Lucas’s stuff was 100 times better.
Also I’m probably the only person here that thinks the Ghost looks horrible. It has no texture. It literally looks like a white stretched out cube. At least the Razor Crest, no matter how ugly it was, it was extremely unique and like nothing we have ever seen before.
Surprised Gorian Shard's Cumulus Class Corsair did not make the list. After this weeks episode of Ahsoka they have differentiated the Chimaera enough to be it's own UCS, and one I would buy. This list is uninteresting
I'd love a Separatist ship for a change... like an UCS Invisible Hand - or even better, an UCS Malevolence.
AT-ST please
sail barge, jedi temple, home one
didn't realize the droid control ship was on here, that instead of sail barge :)
We desperately need a new Jango Fett Slave 1 but I feel like UCS is the wrong place for it. Considering the fandom's seeming agreement that a recolor of 75312 would scratch that itch, I don't think anything above playscale is necessary. As much as I prefer Jango's livery, Boba's generally the more popular character.
Anakin's Jedi Interceptor is something I haven't considered for UCS (I've been too focused on hoping for a modern playscale Delta-7 without the unnaturally-raised cockpits of the last bunch) but it's definitely an iconic vehicle that might be a really fun build.
A Lego Luchrehulk of any kind would be neat since they've never really done one, but a UCS one would basically amount to a big grey sculpture, which wouldn't help Lego Star Wars' recent reputation in the eyes of non-fans of being a bunch of grey vehicles.
The Ghost seems wildly out of place. I get that it's essentially the Millennium Falcon for Phoenix Squadron, and people really liked the UCS Falcon being minifig-scale with internal areas, but the market would be quite niche for one at the present moment. Maybe down the line, but I don't think it has the longevity of other UCS subjects.
A Juggernaut Clone Turbo Tank would definitely be different for the series, a wheeled vehicle, but it's another boxy grey thing. In general, the subject matter seems more conducive to playscale toys as a troop carrier than as a collector's model - be honest, the only reason you care about the thing is that they made a bunch of toys of it so you have indirect nostalgia.
I voted for Anakin's Pod Racer since it's colorful, filled with good detail, striking visually, and has both iconography from the race in Episode 1 and for the famous video game based on it.
Geonosian arena is the one that really deserves a MBS out of all of these, it would reach its full potential at that higher price point with all the minifigs and the 3 monsters. For the UCS I could see them doing something well known like the Turbo Tank or the Ghost, or even the Jedi Interceptor, many of the other options are somewhat obscure. If Lego still hasn't made any droid control ship set after 25 years, I doubt they would make a UCS version anytime soon
A Geonosian Arena seems perfect for the Master Builder Series. No notes, it just fits well.
The Endor Bunker, however, feels like a waste. We've had representations of the structure before and personally it seems more fitting for a playset, or if you want a particularly detailed facade, a diorama set. Sure, we haven't really gotten a good representation of its interior, but on display you probably wouldn't get a good look at it in a UCS/MBS set.
I think the ARC-170 is cool, but it seems rather tertiary in prequel/CWMMP/TCW iconography. Definitely a more visually striking and memorable choice than the Juggernaut with more screentime, but making one so soon after a UCS X-Wing feels conceptually repetitive.
I can only see Home One as a midi-scale. A UCS one definitely could be made, but personally fighters and smaller craft make for more engaging UCS material; cruisers and capital ships are nice but they often simply amount to still-below-minifig-scale sizable display-only Lego representations of the subject price-gated out of children's reach, while above-minifig-scale UCS sets are an opportunity for higher detail, accuracy, greebling, and shelf presence that's more appreciable by adults. (Not to mention they're usually an opportunity for something more colorful and varied.)
Interesting people are choosing the palace over the sail barge. I think that's a tough one. I think the barge would make a better display and even play piece, but you wouldn't get the Rancor with it, which is what I assume people want more. But the Geonosis arena is definitely one they need to make, and I wouldn't have to be a slice of the arena at UCS scale. I think a ~$160 set with the creatures, some key scenery and the main characters of the scene would be a fun build.
I’m surprised that a Yavin rebel UCS base isn’t on the list.
That would be a great set.
Voted for Jango Fett's Slave I, Jabba's Barge (hopefully coming next year) and TIE Bomber.
I still don't understand the hype about a UCS/MBS Jedi Temple — and I asked the same question years ago on this site, but nobody answered. A UCS building has never been done, and this particular building would be too large. As an MBS, maybe it could work as a collection of rooms, but it probably wouldn't have the shape of the building. And there's really nothing that happens there, except people walking and talking, talking and walking, walking and talking… and a couple of scenes representing a religious genocide…
Really? Guys, turbo tank is the staff which can be done large scale with tons of functions if LEGO finally will to implement. Me standing on UCS more than just a dull display model.
But we already have 75060. It is pretty big (fugure-scaled) and detailed and functioned. Why another?
Teenage nostalgia got the better of me and I went for a Return of the Jedi-fest...
- Jabba's palace
- Jabba's Sail Barge
- Endor Shield Bunker
If TLG doesn’t make a Geonosian Arena,
1. They’ll miss out on quite a bit of money.
2. The prequels will continue to be underrepresented in Lego form.
3. I’ll have to make my own. Which will be expensive, considering some the best minifigs for this scene are from 75021 and most retail for over $20 each.

I imagine the Jedi Temple as a Master Builder Series set, with a detailed microscale exterior and minifigure-scale rooms inside. The shape of the exterior would provide plenty of space inside and the same technique has been used for playsets before, so I see no reason why it would be impossible for the Jedi Temple.
With regard to things happening at the temple, I think as much or more happens there than in other memorable locations. Even if LEGO wanted to avoid Order 66 altogether, but still include some opportunities for action, there is ample material from Star Wars: The Clone Wars to draw upon.
Also, it would be an incredible chance to produce desirable minifigures, potentially covering multiple films and television series.

Look up KOTOR I/II, KOTOR I, Dark Alliance/Star wars Jedi Academy II Jedi Outcast, and Force Unleashed I/II
I'll take anything from the prequel trilogy.
Who cares? Lego has learned their lesson. Focus entirely on minifigures. Remember waistcapes! Remember rangefinders! But no holes for those rangefinders or we’ll b!tch about it for a year! Package with a loaf of moldy bread and slap $650 MSRP on it. The build is irrelevant. Listen to the ‘fans’ !
@ CapnRex101, with all my respect, I wonder why you didn't put in the poll something from Rogue One as theU-wing and Zeta class shuttle were suggested, it would be interesting to integrate that in the poll because Rogue One was a stand alone moovie that received high consideration from the Star Wars fan base. On an other hand, Jango Fett Slave I shouldn't be in, because it was ever done, that's the same ship than Boba's, just with different colors in the some areas.
Geoniosian Arena should be done but not as a MBS, what do we need in fact? Just the creatures,execution pilar and geonosian trolley, playset would be enough.
It's different for the Jedi Temple i think, and I agree with CapnRex101
Devastated the Zeta Class Rogue One shuttle wasn’t an option. That’s my most desired UCS set by a long way!
I think we're long overdue for another Master Builder Series set.
I prefer MBS over UCS so my three picks are Jedi Temple, Geonosian Arena and AT-TE, with the latter being a UCS set.
Just give us the Queen Amidala's Royal Starship in chrome.

Fire away, my man - the Ebon Hawk was exciting at the time in a great game for it's time, but...it hasn't aged well. It's a bit of dud design when looking at it without the rose coloured glasses.

Jedi Temple, Geonosis Arena and AT-TE were also my choices.
I disregarded the OT completely because basically everything UCS is OT and barely anything UCS is PT focused.
While I have more attachment to the MTT and Lucrehulk I just see no way that Lego produces a better design than those currently available from fans so I did not vote for those.
Master Builders series sets are far more interesting due to the completely new location and potentially new figures they could provide so Jedi Temple and Geonosis arena were my first chocies. Jabbas Palace would have been too if it weren't OT and if there were less doubt on it becoming a set again. I think if the idea were on the table they would have made it a set to tie in with the Book of Boba Fett.
For the AT-TE I am unsure if Lego understands that it should be minifig scale, not technic figure scale though in any case it will end up with the development of more interesting and applicable design techniques or new pieces compared to the only other good Prequel era choice left: Clone Turbo Tank. While I would love that one with larger wheels it is definitely a lower priority.
Since I already have a Jabba's Palace and Rancor Pit combination, I voted for the Sail Barge. I also voted for the Jedi Temple and the AT-TE. Sadly, even if they are made and are superb, I doubt I'll actually buy any of these sets--they'll all probably be too big and much too expensive for me. Still, one can dream....

I started playing KOTOR around May 10th this year and it’s one of my favorite ships in all of Star Wars. There are no rose colored glasses for me.

A UCS Ghost would end up like the UCS Falcon. Only 10% of its interior included because of structural issues. A giant spaceship with a full realistic, dense and complete interior like what has been done for the Ghost in the cartoon series is what most people would love to get regardless of IP. Like how Star Citizen and Starfield quench the desire for the solitary Space trucker trope in videogames we need this hole to be filled in Lego, too. But the shapes of all the Star Wars vehicles that fit the bill are poison to structural integrity, or at least it is in the eyes of Lego.
It's why I would prefer an Ebon Hawk and have voted for it. I don't see why it can't be an option when Hasbro does can release KOTOR, TOR, 90s comic based and Force Unleashed items right now.
Ebon Hawk only has one level to its interior and remains very much a block shape so it is a much much easier design to flesh out without structural issues cropping up. It's probably even manageable on a price of 400$ or less in contrast to the 800$ Falcon and I assume 600-700$ Ghost.
Nebulon, Jedi Temple and Geonosian Arena

I would love to see an Ebon Hawk as well! Unfortunately I don't think Lego is going to release a set that doesn't have a recognizable source material (while plenty of star wars fans have played the game it was from, plenty more haven't and it simply isn't as popular as the venator for example) plus I don't think Disney would be too excited about using something from their non approved 'legends' material

For about minifig scale a UCS Ebon Hawk would be about 23 inches long and about 20.5 inches wide. The 2017 Falcon is 33 inches long and 22 inches wide.

Ebon Hawk only has one level to its interior and remains very much a block shape so it is a much much easier design to flesh out without structural issues cropping up. It's probably even manageable on a price of 400$ or less in contrast to the 800$ Falcon and I assume 600-700$ Ghost."
I would love to see an Ebon Hawk as well! Unfortunately I don't think Lego is going to release a set that doesn't have a recognizable source material (while plenty of star wars fans have played the game it was from, plenty more haven't and it simply isn't as popular as the venator for example) plus I don't think Disney would be too excited about using something from their non approved 'legends' material "
I know Disney unfortunately owns Star Wars but KOTOR is LucasArts it was made before Disney shut down LucasArts when they bought LucasFilm. It’s also probably getting to be more “canon” then the anti-Lucas Star Wars nonsense that they’re throwing out without any thought process.
They also have a bunch of the video game ships in Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes. Everything from the leviathan to the Raven’s Claw
Need more votes for Geonosian Arena - not that I’m biased or anything… I truly think it would be easy to work with though - the arena architecture itself could be limited to an impressive Arena gate, perhaps with a parapet at the top for the Separatists to watch from, then have 3 pillars, perhaps with a collapsing function - and use most of the rest of the parts to build the creatures, plus some machinery like the chariots or Geonosian cannons. Populate it with some fantastic figs and you have a great scene.
I don’t doubt a UCS Ghost ‘could’ be nice judging by the popularity, but the new System version is so good it doesn’t feel like we need one. It also wouldn’t have the same recognition as a lot of other items - it hasn’t even really featured much in Ahsoka.
My first pick immediately went to the Petranaki Arena, because I think we've all been waiting for one, whether playset or UCS, since at least the 2013 AotC wave.
For my next picks, the Ghost was a pretty easy one since I love Rebels. I know that designers have said that minifigures should not be the focus of UCS sets, but I think there is a great opportunity with this one for updated versions of the Spectres, especially Ezra and Sabine who received the most notable updates between Season 2 and 4.
Also since I think the scale of the playset 75357 Ghost was probably defined by the scale of the 6x6 bubble cockpit element, with a UCS scale I think they could reuse the 10x10 bubble element from the 76210 Hulkbuster.
My last pick was sort of a difficult decision between an AT-TE and Jango's Slave I, but I went for AT-TE because I think it could look really good with the larger scale, especially in areas like the interior. I could certain see a 4-wide area in the cockpit, maybe even 6-wide. I really hope Jango's Slave I becomes a playset though.

Perhaps you don't realise the true popularity of Rebels. I personally binged it during lockdown a couple years back, before the Ahsoka series was even announced. With more fans of Ahsoka finally giving Rebels a shot, I think that a UCS Ghost could do really well with Rebels' newfound popularity.
I see so many newcomers on r/starwarsrebels claiming that they finally watched Rebels and were amazed by how great it was.
I agree with all those who say the Jedi Temple would be a great MBS set. So many wonderful parts that it could have and its such an iconic location in the movie. And its a location that (AFAIK) hasn't been touched by LEGO at all (nor have some of the figs from that location ever been done)

You could just spend $400 for a used rebels Ghost on the aftermarket, like how KOTOR fans have to spend $230 for a single May the fourth 2014 Darth Revan! The only thing that has been made for KOTOR!
I like minifig scaled sets. Anything that must be big has to be big. The UCS AT-AT has done it perfectly.
Not a big fan of scaled up models just to get the UCS tag.

Me too. I would 100% rather have a minifig scale set than a set that is completely oversized and labeled as UCS and costs $50-100 more than it should be.
@capnrex101 why are one of the options “on”? It currently has one vote.
AT-TE and the Ghost. No Jakku Quadjumper option and thus, no third vote.

Speak for yourself. I got three when the promo was live (I tried to do that for every minifig GWP they did).

I was eight when it was released and I wasn’t an iPad kid so I didn’t even know it existed back then. Also I only got into KOTOR around May 10th this year.
Now I also need a UCS Thrawn's Star Destroyer "CHIMAERA"
@CoruscantCitizen2143 said:
"Now I also need a UCS Thrawn's Star Destroyer "CHIMAERA""
We just got the Venator. There is a chance that when that set retires we might get a Chimaera or hopefully a remake of the Executor.
If I were to rank my options (from most-wanted to least-wanted):
Ghost
Anakin Skywalker's Podracer
Jabba's Sail Barge Khetanna
ARC-170 Starfighter
Anakin's Jedi Interceptor
Jango Fett's Slave I
Din Djarin's N-1 Starfighter
Jedi Temple
Geonosian Arena
Clone Turbo Tank
TIE/sa Bomber
Jabba's Palace
AT-TE
Trade Federation MTT
Nebulon-B Escort Frigate
Endor Shield Bunker
MC80A Mon Calamari Cruiser Home One
Lucrehulk-class Battleship
Eta-2, Jabba’s Palace and Geonosis Arena for me, but of course I’d love most of these. Was tough not to vote for Jango’s Slave I and the Jedi Temple
I voted for the Lucrehulk Trade Federation Battleship, the Jedi Temple and the Geonosian Arena, envisioning the first as a UCS and the others as MBS.
Regards,
Mitch

"That would be an update on 10212 Imperial Shuttle, so will appear in the other poll focusing on UCS and MBS sets to revisit."
Wouldn't that apply to Jango's Slave I as well? That's essentially the same as Boba's Slave I.
By the way, before voting the link open in a new window, after voting they don't. Can that be fixed?
Would there be a market for a Star Wars Architecture series? Just looking at the (current) top 3: Jedi Temple, Jabba's Palace, Geonosian Arena, they're all things I'd like as a €100 architecture set, not as a €500 UCS set.
(Voted for the Podracer - all my favourite UCS sets are OT small ships)
I'd love the MTT.
I voted for Jedi Temple, Lucrehulk and ARC-170. If I would fourth vote I would go for Anakin's Jedi Interceptor or MTT.
In UCS, I preferred sets like the Ewok village, stuff you can play with. Therefore, Jabba's palace and the Jedi temple were sure shots for me.
The Geonosian arena would be my favourite if it contained new molds for the beasts, since we still didn't get Banthas.
As we got a Republic Attack Cruiser now (sadly, without play functions but with coloured interior), an appropriate opponent is needed. The only one on this list was the Lucrehulk Droid control ship, but I'd had loved a Munificent-class star frigate as well.
We need more separatists!
I am a bit surprised to see that the current top 3 are all MBS sets. I expected vehicles and ships to be more popular.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
I voted Jedi Temple, the ghost and the sail barge
I want a new OT star destroyer playset. And a giant minifig scale rancor like 75936.
I am disappointed that the N-1 Naboo Starfighter did not make the cut. But I suppose The Mandolarian version maybe as close as we can get to getting a new version of the N-1.
@Jacob1701 said:

No. The original N-1 hasn’t been released since 2015. Micro-Fighters and Poly bags don’t count. It needs a remake and it’s way better than the Mandolarian version.
UCS Jabba's Sail Barge is coming out next year (the initial model leaked months ago), but it will be interesting to see what the other UCS set will be next year.

Like the Lambda-class Shuttle mentioned earlier in the comments, the Naboo N-1 Starfighter is another that will appear in the poll for revisited sets. 10026 Special Edition Naboo Starfighter was the first, in 2002.
That was far from a traditional Ultimate Collector Series set, of course, but still counts.

So you want one that’s way larger than minifig-scale, possibly action figure-scale, but comes with teeny little minifigs anyways?

"Based on the results, people are starving for MBS as Geonosian Arena, Jedi Temple and Jabba's Palace are ranked 2-4. Interesting as some of the recent "MBS" sets didn't sell well - Cloud City & Assault on Hoth. Although it seems like the Cantina has been a hit."
I think the thing the Cantina does well, is the exterior looks like the location it is supposed to! Cloud City and Echo base have compression on both the interior and exterior to fit into LEGO set form so you end up with a pretty bland set of disconnected pieces (Assault on Hoth) or a bad look silhouette (Cloud City).
But the Jedi Temple, Jabba's Palace, etc. are much more like the old Ewok Village set... they are contained enough locations you can create an exterior that looks good on the shelf while offering enough interior room for play scenes. The Cantina was perfect for that as well which is why I think the LEGO fandom accepted it so well.
Voted for:
Jabbas Palace
Jabbas Sail Barge
Endor Shield Bunker
If the rumored UCS Jabbas Sail Barge comes out next year I'll be a happy camper.
Works for me. An MBS Jabbas Palace with a large number of minifigs (Klaatu, Amanaman, Tessek, Ree Yees, Rebo Band, etc.) similar to how they did the Mos Eisley Cantina would be outstanding, hopefully someday they'll decide to do this.
UCSs costs 600€ nowadays and comes still with stickers. I invested in some nice sets over the years: https://brickset.com/sets/ownedby-John_Eff , but I see the stickers partly don't survive for 20 years - and have partly different colours to the bricks.
So I don't want to participate at the voting and I retired to buy UCS atm. Sad.

I voted for the same thing too. I would have voted for the Ebon Hawk, Star Forge, Raven’s Claw or Rogue Shadow but they weren’t on the list because Disney and Lego probably wouldn’t agree to make it. But some really cool locations and ships that we haven’t gotten play sets in 10+ years in UCS format from my second favorite Star Wars movie tied with revenge of the Sith, my favorite is empire strikes back, it really exiting and cool and nice.
Well no shock that the two I picked, Jedi Temple and Geonosis Arena, are the top two. I hope that Lego is looking at this.
I was tempted to pick Endor as my third choice but ultimately just selected two. The Endor play set from years ago really is sufficient and they are well overdue to update and rerelease all the Endor sets. Of course if they release a new Endor UCS and it includes a bunch of new Ewok minifigures I will of course have to get it.
I just don’t understand why they haven’t come out with sets for the Ewok movies. People are always debating if the prequels or sequels are any good, but no one ever brings up the Ewok movies in these debates. Obviously this is because they are the greatest movies of all time.

"Most of these are best served as regular play sets imo"
even the Jedi Temple would be better not as MBS - it's just a big tan box. It would work well as an Architecture-style set like they did with Hogwarts though. Really struggled choosing out of these
I went for Podracer, Lucrehulk and TIE Bomber.
The Podracer and Bomber should be the fighter-sized "affordable" UCS, the Lucrehulk a massive set that should come with detachable core ship and option to turn it into the Ep1 Droid Control Ship.

Much though I would love a UCS Ebon Hawk, for example, it is just not a realistic prospect at the moment. Maybe if the video game remake progresses, although even then I think vehicles from other video games, like the Stinger Mantis, would have a better chance."
Statement: Any meatbag that does not think the Ebon Hawk deserves a LEGO set should run while my blasters warm up."
*Prepares to run whilst your blasters warm up*"
Fire away, my man - the Ebon Hawk was exciting at the time in a great game for it's time, but...it hasn't aged well. It's a bit of dud design when looking at it without the rose coloured glasses."
I started playing KOTOR around May 10th this year and it’s one of my favorite ships in all of Star Wars. There are no rose colored glasses for me."
Yet, isn't that exactly what is meant by 'rose-colored glasses' for this situation?
My question is: When will LEGO break the 1000.00 price level on a giant UCS set? I'm very curious how they regard that boundary. Inevitable, or a line in the sand they won't cross?
I've been harping on about how the TIE Bomber was robbed during the 'fan vote' for a UCS a few years ago, and I voted for it here, but it seems there's no huge demand for it. Nevermind that realistically I could never afford it.
Having just built 75347, I'm very happy with it. Taking a cue from Jang's & CapnRex101's reviews of it, with a mod to include a mechanism like that in 75172, it'll be perfect!
I just want anything that can be reasonably done in the "minifigure scale" like the Millennium Falcon and Slave I. Personally, I'd love to see a Sith Infiltrator!
in my opinion some of these example would work better as master builder series sets like Jabba's palace or Jedi temple.
Voted for the Nebulon Frigate, but what I really want (in any scale tbh) is a Moldy Crow from Jedi Knight (Dark Forces II)

Now, did you want it to look exactly like it did in the game, or did you perhaps want the engines to be attached to the fuselage?
Come on people we need a new super star destroyer executor to go with the Star destroyer that just retired.Also would love to to the Jabbas sail barge with a ton of mini figs especially sy snootles and droopy Mccool to go with max reebo and there is a ton of different henchman that could be made and aliens . Look at the Star Wars figure line by hasbro there are a ton of characters they are making. If this sailbarge is really coming out it better be loaded with mini figs,they did it for the cantina so they can do it for this
! picked AT-TE, Clone Turbo Tank, and MTT.
There are so many sets to choose from to be the next Ultimate Collector Series set. I would consider following ideas to be the next UCS :-
YODA
Trade Federation MTT
T16 Skyhopper
Darth Vader
Tie Interceptor
Tie Defender
Gungan ship
Republic Frigate
Jabba's Palace
Jabba's Sail Barge
Republic Cruiser
Rebel Base - IV A New Hope
Clone Turbo Tank
C3PO & R2-D2
Podracers Sebuba & Anakin
Sith Infiltrator
AT-TE with Dropship
Jedi Starfighter with Hyperdrive
Anakin Starfighter
ARC 170 Starfighter
V- Wing Starfighter
BB8
Rebel U-Wing Fighter
Tie Striker
Kind Regards
