I'm not convinced either of those will be big on the collectors front - however IF I was forced i'd say go for the Tumblr.
The latest Millennium Falcon has been up and down in price and i've seen it as cheap as £90, with the new film etc. there will be loads of them around so it's unlikely to increase in price. Things like the Slave 1 and the Red Five X-Wing will be a better 'investment'.

The UCS sets generally command a higher price once they have been discontinued.

I'm happy to wait until next Sept when it will be £137. If you need it for Xmas though you won't find it cheaper.

Buy it because you like it and want to build it, not as an investment.

Wow! I paid £69 for this Slave 1 set a few years ago :confused:, its on my son's shelf gathering dust!

At £69 it's more likely to be set 8097. I've never seen this UCS version anywhere near as cheap as that.

They do 20% off every September, all the prices go up so it is only really worthwhile for these big "rarely reduced" Lego sets. I waited 11 months to save £55 on the Death Star :smiley: - they could always pull the promotion I suppose.

Mine arrived earlier today. Pristine condition inside the packing box, just like the Batman Tumbler, although possibly more luck than judgement as there's not a lot of those air filled bags in there! Still, arrived safe and sound and a good deal.

Quick search shows that the 8097 set is going at around £150 and in some cases over £200. So that turns out to have been a better "investment"
