I hope 75105 is a new Millennium Falcon. After the disappointing entry back in 2011, a new one is just what we need.
I'll have to see if these sets are tempting or not. One or two might end up on my shelves.
I would think that 75105 is going to be a Millennium Falcon. Or something similar...
Also looking forward to 75105 being the new Millennium Falcon but it won't be excaclty the same since the new falcon has a rectangular dish. I guess I'll have to get the round dish from an after market seller.
Going to guess lead hero craft is Rey's "popsicle" speeder, hero star fighter is Poe's black and orange x-wing, and villain star craft is a TIE fighter. villain transport is the stormtrooper carrier that we get a glimpse of the interior in the teaser trailer?
Spoiler alert? Now I know there will be heroes, villains, and a lead hero and lead villain. Thanks a lot!

Concluding remark.
So the X-Wing will be in the USD $90 range? Yeesh. Even if they handle UK/US pricing like they've seemingly done with Jurassic World and it's only $70, that's still ridiculous.
X-Wing, TIE Fighter and Millennium Falcon are definitely on the list...
I'm wondering if they'll take this opportunity to release another UCS Millenium Falcon - albeit with the new rectangular dish. They could even include the original round dish so you could choose which version to display, that would be great!
Given that the average X-wing piece count is around 600 pieces, $90 does seem like an awful lot.
Upon reading the linked article, the generally high prices of all the sets make a little more sense. There will be six more sets that are e.g. battle packs.
Aiming for the: Villain Craft, Villain Transport, Villain Star Craft and the Hero Star Craft (prices really are getting ridiculous for licensed sets). I would love to see a Tie Bomber down the line.
Glad there's gonna be more sets, was worried for a second that the second cheapest one was £40.
The "other sets" are the battle figures, not army builders.
I'm guessing:
-Popsicle Speeder
-TIE Fighter
-?????
-X-Wing
-Stormtrooper Transport
-Gwnedolyn Christie's Red TIE Shuttle Thing
-Millenium Falcon
Usually licensed sets have the exact same nominal price in GBP and USD (much to the rightful consternation of Brits) so I have no doubt that the X-wing will be $70 at most. Doesn't seem too out of line considering the last one was $60 and a pretty meaty build. I would imagine that there'll be some secondary model, like Yoda's hut in the 2006 version or a ground support team like past starfighters have had, to justify the $10 price bump.
Seeing how it will probably be even more overpriced here, I'm glad I'm not getting those.
That's not an actual news, check here: http://www.promobricks.de/exklusiv-lego-star-wars-the-force-awakens-set-details/4787 .. information is published on 13rd February first time
TIE Fighter, X-Wing, and Millennium Falcon sets? What a shocker that would be for a Lego Star Wars wave...
At least it would be for a new movie and not the usual rehashing of the popular vehicles.

These may be interesting. My first LEGO SW sets were the 2012 line-up. We'll see how the new versions compare to them. I also really liked the 2011 MF, so I don't think I'll need to get another one, but we'll see.
For the theme itself, I usually only pick up a few things instead of the die-hard SW fans.
They are all crafts. Hoping for a model like Jabba's Palace or Bag End. They need a palace or bar or something.
One of these days I can afford to by a MF before the price goes over $200.
717 pieces for an x-wing is really big, i want to see the picture of all these sets.
One of the things that I am most excited for is to see how Lego replicates the villains new lightsabre. I hope that they don't take some cheap way out like with Ezra's.
Everyone is saying one of the sets will be a TIE fighter but they already have the UCS TIE so that would be a very poor call on LEGO's part. who would buy that if they could just get the UCS one which will obviously be a lot better
@Balrogofmorgoth
Some people can't afford UCS and may prefer the other version, just saying.
They are all ships?
Yeah, we will probably get some non-ships for 2016. Ships is what sells and this is a new movie so we will get new ships / future versions of old ships.
Plus some of the ships might have a little play feature to go along with the ships. LEGO might not be able to get a lot of info on what the movie is about to do playlets just yet, so instead they will do just ships.
It would be great to release a UCS set from the new movie at release. I'm ready for new stuff!
I bet the hero starfighter will be an x-wing. I know I don't know what it looks like, but I want the villian transport, unless the villians are wimpy.
I would like a new ship not just a remake of a classic ship. Don't get me wrong I love the classic ships: I just want something new...
