Yeah, that is a great version too.

This is pretty much a straight repack but just in a vintage box. I wonder when they will do this with the Han and Luke Hoth outfits on Taun Tauns too?

I will probably get it, but only if I can find it decently and from a decent shipper. I am so done with amazon and some places.

That would be cool with the Han & tauns  8)  ..they don't seem to have the best marketing people on board though, this new BMF could of been the 40th anniversary ESB Falcon instead of galaxy edge  :-\  ..oh well!

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. I am also shaking my head at the difference in price between the Legacy version ($150) and this new version ($400). I mean wow.

That is a HUGE increase and in a time when the market is crashing, shipping to the UK would put another £150 on that too with import tax on top  :-\  ..i am currently painting a Legacy Falcon as mine is starting to discolour slightly, will take about 4 weeks with this one and try out do myself ..or wreck it ha  ;D  ..i'm not paying that for a new one though

All I know is that it has sold out twice in pre-order now. I bet it flies off the shelves when it comes to Targets here at the end of August. People just love the big Falcons.

No problem, probably ought to set up a topic just for this ship though.
