800-piece Porg set to be released
Posted by Huw,
The websites of small European LEGO stores continue to be a good source of information about unreleased products, where they are often listed before they should be.
Today, Brickshop.nl has confirmed the existence of a Porg set. 75230 Porg will retail for 80€ and contain 811 pieces, so will be somewhat larger than the version in the image, and likely to be on a par size-wise with last year's 75187 BB-8.

WTH I hope this is a late April fools day joke
The set no one is asking for. What Disney wants, Disney gets. "Pay me!"
Porgs: Ugh!
Happy shelf-life to you all.
Looking forward to a great parts pack...
Saw the pic ages ago. The jury is still out on it... I'm back and forth between cute and nightmare-inducing horror.
Just give me my UCS Cloud City!!
Porgs were supposedly introduced so they could digitally cover up puffins in the background.
Methinks this background "character" won't sell well at all. However, it will be good for parts on clearance. Seriously, I hope this is a joke.
Hope it comes with a sound brick so you can annoy the heck out of people XD
I think a 800 pieces set will definitely look bigger than that picture but it is nice to know, better not tell my mother.
Now they just need a brick built Ewok to go with it
Um ... why?
The image for this was leaked weeks/months ago.
As much as I liked the porgs... which it seems I'm in the minority here... I really don't want a large lego version of one.
everyday we stray further from god's light
I liked the porgs! I hope they're still on the falcon in Episode 9.
Why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why why...........???
Noooooooooooooooooo (not Luke this time)
I like it. Not sure I'll be buying it though.
I do think a UCS porg is a fantastic bit of dry humour though :p It's very Lego. Lighten up, you miserable lot!
There's leaked pictures if you Google it, and it looks AMAZING! I personally wouldn't buy it, but it's incredibly close to the source material. It's a great display piece.
My 3 and 7 year olds love the porgs so I will probably end up getting this when it goes on clearance sale.
... scratches head, checks date... No sir, I just don't get it.
Actually I'm saving my pennies for a 10k piece Jar Jar head bust sculpture set!
I thought this was a joke originally - until seeing the leaked pic some weeks ago. It actually looks pretty good and a million times better than I was expecting.
The thing with porgs is that if you don't like them, you can easily ignore them. They're totally inconsequential to any of the story, as is the humour associated with them. Unlike where Poe is making "your mum" jokes to distract Hux which leads to the destruction of that big star destroyer thing.
Yay and why at the same time.
Oh please.
neat idea, but no plans to purchase one. now how about some last season of Rebels sets?
I'm guessing it will be something similar to 7194 Yoda and the aforementioned 75187 BB-8.
I'm more fan of minifig-scale sets, so this one is not for me.
Hey hey now. This could be a great parts pack, based on the colors.
But I expect to pick it up on discount. Porgs aren’t as cute as BB-8.
Someones telling porgy's lol..
I hope??
Fetch me Cloud city and A Cantina band brickhead set..
Wow, a lot of skeptics here. I expect this to sell pretty well, if the popularity of last year's BB-8 set is any indication.
Cantina Band Brickheadz? That might get me into Brickheadz! Or cantina patrons, the classic four, i.e. the Kenner action figures: Greedo, Hammerhead, Snaggletooth, and Walrus Man!
Nooooooooo...
The Porg leaked images are one of the reason for The Brick Shows demise!!!
What about a UCS Ewok?
Well, this is what everyone was afraid of back in 2012. I can't say I'm surprised.
560heliport - He will always be Walrus Man to me as well. None of this Ponda Baba BS!
To the people saying no one asked for this...
I asked for this.
This makes sense, given how much Porg merch has been selling...
Watch as this 800 piece porg set is actually 114 mini figure scale porgs. XD
Just googled it. They did a great job with how it should look. I don’t want to spend that much on it, but I may pick it up at a cheaper price. But I wouldn’t need to wait until clearance. It is terrifyingly cute. I’m scared of how cute it is. Is that a thing?
For a 811 piece porg set, I was really hoping for 135 little, tiny porgs.
^ and ^^^ I'd still buy it!
What a bunch of whiners...obviously enough people like Porgs, otherwise LEGO wouldn’t waste their time on it.
Um....that just happened.
With all due respect, if Luke can't milk it I'll have none of it, sir.
@nymnyr8694: What's Disney got to do with anything? Lucasfilm came up with the porgs. What sort of proof is there that Lego takes orders (not just suggestions, actual mandated *orders*) from anyone on what they decide to produce for licensed sets?
As it was foretold in the prophecy.
What about Bess though?
The model looks really on point and good. I might get this
wow Lego is really losing me with their recent loser products stop with the marvel tie ins and really, all the movie related themes. just yuck
I have a bad feeling feeling about this...
Awesome!
The most disappointing thing about this set is not that it's a Porg...
It's that this set of a Porg will have a better price per parts ratio than Snoke's Throne Room.
811 pieces? I only see 6.
I knew about this for a while.
Are we being punked?
My daughter - and I - we like Porgs. They are cute. But this won't justify the purchase of an "UCS" model of it. I'd prefer en Ewok.
Interesting to see so many people whine about this, which might even be a hit for kids, and at the same time almost everyone was so enthusiastic about the friggin quadjumper from TFA....looking at the leaked pics this might actually be a decent set.
That was unexpected!
Why?
For the Glory of Satan, of course!
Too bad it's not slightly larger, that would've made it possible to showe some Mindstorms bits inside and make it a porgby.
And while all of these seems to have the "thousand-yard stare", this particular one still seems to have seen Some Serious Shit. Maybe Chewie got hungry, decided to forsake his implied vegan wows, and then started gulping the things down raw?
Not a popular choice then. Quite like it myself, but anyone who know's Lego can hardly fake surprise at this. Bet it flies of the shelves ....
"Yeah, that's how it all starts. First there's oooing and aahing and then there's uh running and uh screaming..."
I think Porgs are great - so happy ! On the other hand, I am not interested in cloud city at all. But I do want really want a UC ISD.
