Answers.Text: I am mostly guessing, but my answer was based on [some of the discussion on Brickset](http://brickset.com/article/17072/first-batch-of-2016-sets-revealed) when the first bunch of Force Awakens sets were revealed. The fact that a lot of the pictures with stands have since been replaced with versions without the stands seems to confirm the theory.
