  It is referred to as a second edition only in relation to #10179.

  #75192 is the second release of the UCS Millennium Falcon, #10179.
  
  #10179 was designed by Jens Kronvold Frederiksen and released in 2007.
  
  #75192 used the chassis (for the most part) of #10179 and concentrated more on upgrading its aesthetics - designed by Hans Burkhard Schlömer.  Because of this, it is generally referred to as a ‘second release’, or ‘upgraded’ version.
  
  I’m not sure which one I prefer to be honest.  The new version is obviously finished to a higher level of detail, but I think I prefer the tunnel behind the cockpit on the original and given its 13 years old, it still remains an absolutely engineering masterpiece.
  
  There a pretty good interview here.  https://brickset.com/article/31111/interview-with-hans-burkhard-schl%C3%B6mer-designer-of-75192-millennium-falcon
  
  Ha, and if you want to relive the hype of the grand opening night of the second release, look here.  https://forum.brickset.com/discussion/27045/leicester-square-millennium-falcon-midnight-release-13th-september-2017/p1

  Then there’s the third version, a hybrid of the two...
  
  Finally going to get started on mine over the bank holiday weekend!

  And one could make the argument that the #10179 as 'two' editions, the one with the special insert on the first run, and then all of the other ones...

  For #10179 there was a 'limited first edition' run of (I think) 10,000 - with a little 'first edition' badge on the box.

  But why would there be a #75192 box with #10179 written on it in gold marker? @caterham7?

  Was Jens being goofy when he signed that box?

  Thanks everyone!  This helps.  So, i was concerned that if they had made some kind of improved to 75192 I’d want to make sure I got the latest.  Now I just need for them to stock up again....lowest price I can find is almost $200 over MSRP, going down about 10 bucks a week.   <sigh>. I don’t suppose there’s ANY actual way to find out an ETA on when lego.com would have it in stock.  I could try calling, but I figure they’ll just be like yea right...

  Thanks.  Although apparently not to the US without filling out some special delivery form which I assume means there will be a charge but you have to wait to find out. . If I get desperate I may research further.

  It's still out of stock on lego.com, but available elsewhere for a premium, or occasionally you can find on lego site in other countries (or third parties in other countries like above) but they don't ship to US
