@chiablo: No, your brothers didn't have this wonder. The previous Millennium Falcons are all crap compared to this scale model.

Jesus Diaz

My brothers used to have that one... as a result, it was passed down to me.

I also had the Hoth playset, and we had an AT-AT walker (which barely stood on it's own.)

chiablo

So a whole new launch of ultra-detailed star wars products eh?

I think I'll wait for the ultra-detailed, 4 ft tall Jar Jar binks life model doll. It will be complete with
1) working patois
2) a grayscale visual scanner to judge which people to be submissive to
3) eight different adjustable ways to wear his ears that all still look like dreadlocks

Pope John Peeps II

The WWII Star Wars Millennium Falcon could not be a P-61, that is too small to have been able to carry cargo, as well as the people the ship could hold.

If anything, because it had to carry cargo, it would have been at least been a bomber class with a tail gun. B-24, B-32... if WWII Star Wars is supposed to fit some way with regular Star Wars, that is.

smcallah

Next it will be steampunk-ed, (Sigh) So much for my education.......

gallifrey

yea i want..
im watching star wars on tv now :)

Papsky

just so you got that question answered, in WW2 Star Wars the Millennium Falcon would have been a Northrop P61 Black Widow.

Spaceboy

Does this cost some multiple of American dollars? Or just a portion of my adult dignity?

Either way, how much?

JacquesAss

Jesus, did you ever finish building that Lego Falcon? I remember you starting and sorting out the pieces, but I never remember seeing anything else on it?

AZTriGuy

To think i destroyed one of those as a kid in the 90's.

OMG! Ponies!

Is it wrong if this made me wet a little?

I remember the old Micro Machines version...this is very cool, sucks I'm not a kid anymore as I would own this.

TheManator

Now I can be a scruffy looking nurf herder! We're all clear kid!

Grifter

and now every 39-yo fanboy is going to buy to secretly play with it in the closet

Close. I'm actually 37 years old.

I will forgive them for being 30 years late if they will send me one immediately.

Monty

Does this cost some multiple of American dollars? Or just my adult dignity?

JacquesAss

But does it have a training remote on a string?

TickleMeElmo

@greasypigstudios: I KNEW it seemed out of proportion to me for some reason, this seemed soo small compared to the Millenium falcon I remember in the original trilogy.

XM8500

Looks like I am going to have to build smuggling compartments into the floor of my house before I have kids. I wouldn't want them to find the good toys.

DeadWriter

Must buy! When does it come out?

KJA

WTF? OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG, OMG!

ThriftyTechie

@Jesus Diaz:
Well...except for the LEGO UCS Millennium Falcon. Speaking of which, Hasbro is painfully late with this, as it really should have come out last year. You know, with the whole 30th Anniversary angle that LEGO used with their supersized set.

Anwyays, I'm guessing they went with as authentic of interior styling as they could come up with, and just fudged the interior layout to accomodate the still-undersized scale of this thing. After all, it's already been determined that the various movie sets can't be incorporated in any logical manner within the exterior hull as seen in the movies (the first person to try his hand at what's now known as a UCS-scale Falcon MOC tried in vain to recreate the full known interior layout, and ended up having to devise his own mega-hybrid version based on any source material he was able to lay hands on at the time).

Purple Dave

This is definitely not a scale model... it's "unassembled" but it's a toy vehicle for the action figures, so more "some assembly required" than "get out your jumbo sized tube of testor's." Absolutely the best toy version of the falcon ever, but it's meant to be played with, and you can see that the cockpit is way bigger proportionally than the rest of the ship, to fit the action figures.

NERD ALERT:

According to google, the falcon's 26.7 meters long, which is about 16 human lengths. If the action figures are 3.75 inches scale, then the toy falcon would have to be about 4 and a half feet long. Now THAT would be awesome!

greasypigstudios

I had the O.G. Millennium Falcon. This one is much better. 30 years late, but better.

photophile

@Lizard_King: UHHHG..."REMEMBERING"

Lizard_King

@Spaceboy: I was thinking a de Havilland Mosquito myself....

As for the people "remebering" this from the past....A previous 2 foot wide toy from Kenner had a removable rear of the top, smuggling hold, retractable ramp and sadly, no channel from the body to the cockpit. This toy looks much better.

Lizard_King

I had one very much like this when I was little, and it's guns fired. This doesn't look that shocking to me...

dimo414

@Jesus Diaz: You are right and wrong on corrections. This model is a fantastic toy, unlike what has preceded it. Memory may be at issue, but I bet the two people you have commented on remember pretty well. The imagination of our childhood made even the worst toys much more enjoyable.

DeadWriter

piece of junk? this piece of junk made the Toys 'R Us in less than 12 parsecs when I went to pick up my Millennium Falcon.

redkamel

@dimo414: That's because you were little and you can't remember well. That Falcon you remember was actually crap. Hasbro has never manufactured anything like this.

Jesus Diaz

There is a great picture of the early Hasbro toy on this site [www.geocities.com]

DeadWriter

@Jesus Diaz:

There was nothing previously this detailed released, but there WERE large MF toys like this in the early 80's.

I know. I smashed them. ( I'm 38 btw ).

winexprt

@Pope John Peeps II : You completely forgot the added functionability (fake word that Shakespeare should have made up when he had the chance, now he is dead... too bad.) of ripping out his tonsils which never did or will have the chance to see whatever form of puberty the Gungans would go through and a large amount of C4 within his abdomen to destroy him with when you remember to ask yourself why Lucas bothered with such a useless character to put in any of his films, and I mean useless.

ASSAULTr

apeguero

In my dreams I owned the real thing, and that was pretty much better than any scaled model.

I do still keep some action figures and sometimes play with my son... so wonderful.

MACPollo

Sweet. Bonus points if this inspires someone to procure unopened stock and document the unboxing.

Stephanie A Fox

@Jesus Diaz: As we're discussing Millennium Falcons: did you ever complete your LEGO model, or did Addy thwart you attempts and make you clean up the room cause her mom came to visit?

papaguru

Screw the falcon, when is the Y-Wing coming out?

Git Em SteveDave

Hey, look!
It has a little area where you can add some modifications of your own!

-she'll get you there.

strider_mt2k

They forgot the lateral controls, but don't worry, she'll hold together.
(Ya hear me baby...)

This is ultra-killer IF you have the space for it. (pardon the pun)

My ultra-detailed dream model from star wars would have to be an X-Wing.
It's always always been my favorite.

My wife is a Boba Fett fan, so she might side with Slave 1, if not with the 'Falcon.

I'm sure this one will rock!

strider_mt2k

I want to see video of Jesus licking the plastic during unboxing.....
Good timing on this too, there was a Star Wars marathon yesterday on TV that I actually got to watch due to being sidelined with the tummy flu. Who says nausea is a bad thing. I got to fall in love with Hans Solo all over again.

@smcallah:
A modified B-17 would be interesting. :)

/Grumpy man hat on/

People say kids today are lucky because all their toys have lights and sounds and real voices. I say it's just the opposite actually.

I had the original millenium falcon toy as a kid. It might have had a button that made "laser sounds," but that was it. No voices, no lights, no automatic doors and ramps. Just plastic and stickers. Oh, and our immaginations.

Han Solo wasn't limited to 5 phrases. I could make him say whatever I wanted him to. Same with all the other characters.

And never once did I ever wish to recreate luke training against the drone with his lightsaber or Chewwie losing at the game. I was too damn busy blasting tie fighters out of the sky, and saving Luke's ass from Vader.

If they are marketing this to adults, I guess it's ok. But if this is for kids, I'm not jealous at all. I guarantee my Falcon was better.

@Curves: I might agree, but I hate the "updated" versions, especially since Greedo shoots.

what's the SKU / Model #?

C'mon, at least make this post USEFUL!

Man...I wanted this and the GI Joe air craft carrier SOOOO bad when I was a kid.

@liveinvt:

Price?

MacBandit

Whatta piece of junk.

sumocat

The detail is nice and all, but can it do the kessel run in under 12 parsecs?

jackfrost132

The things I would have killed for one when I was young.....

now we just need the 18 ft long star destroyers and some tie fighters and we can recreate the asteroid field scene (singing the song ourselves, fuck soundtracks >.>) (get 5 dudes and then a 6th dude with a really really deep voice and it's even simulated 5.1!)

Git Em SteveDave

My cousin in the UK was a huge sci fi junky, and in 94 built a 1 1/2' cardboard replica that had all of the details.

I curse all of humanity that he destroyed it, and not even so much as a photograph to remember it by. Sigh..

Kaiser-Machead

Now I'm hungry for a cheeseburger and an olive

OMG! Ponies!

@MacBandit: I agree what the hell is the price?

Where are they going to be available?

When are they going to be available?

apeguero ... the "chess" table is feature #11

gwerner

Since when did the Falcon have a "missile-shooting" mini-fighter?

gwerner

I still have my Kenner Falcon from when I was a kid. And the AT-AT, and transport ship, and paper death star (which is supposedly worth quite a lot) and in or around 40 of the orginal figures (plus all their original weapons and accessories).

diverguy

I had the USS Flag. It was MASSIVE! It took up most of the room it was in. I used the decks underneath to hide my joes, the orange missiles from the missile launcher were thrown at my sister often. It had cannons and radar dishes all over it. It had bulkhead doors and everything. God I loved that thing. Good memories.

redgreen21

I wished we could only know how much this will cost so I can start saving now.

Yes, the U.S.S. Flagg was the s--t? Never had it, but when I was a kid, my Dad would go to Sam's and I would play with one they had setup there. If only I could re-live those days of all plastic toys, Sega Genesis, and no idea what paying taxes was all about.

ferris209

Now if only they made a 3 ft long version of the original-series Galactica battlestar...

Monsieur.Mind

For the Love of all that is holy

WHERE CAN I BUY IT?!!

GrandMoffHarlin

My cousin had all of those old Star Wars toys. I was a huge fan too, so my parents got me the newer one. It was still awesome, but nowhere near as detailed or spacious inside.

Then again that might have been better when you're pretending to escape from that giant asteroid worm and slide the Falcon down the stairs...

MobileEMP

Now that's what a Star Wars vehicle toy should look like! I'm just a bit disappointed that it's not sized correctly- but 4 feet or not, that'd be an interesting toy to mess around with.

Mr.Wilson

This is starting to smell like a hoax. It's just too good to be true.

And look at figure #3 in the photo... Is Princess Leia on her knees in front of Luke or Han?

ThriftyTechie

Also for the record, the original millenium falcon toy was 23" long, so this is really only about 7 inches longer... not that big of a difference (but yeah, she's got it where it counts).

And also for further perspective, a proper Slave 1 toy in the 3.75" figure scale would be about 3.75 feet long also. Crazy!

greasypigstudios

radio1

Sorry. This is not the ULTIMATE falcon unless there is ANOTHER WORKING TURRET ON THE BOTTOM.

But it will still be nice...just not ULTIMATE.

leMel

Ok where is it? where can i get it, how much is it and why dont i have it now?
