New Falcon on the way!
« on: June 18, 2014, 10:45:21 AM »
It looks to me to be a stylized version like that new X-Wing, but at over two feet long it isn't gonna be too small. Thanks to Yodasnews for the image:

Really what bs Hasbro just pissed in their hand and slapped all of us in the face...this better not be the item the esb fans are going to need to "change their pants" hasbro mentioned earlier this year. I mean come on look at all the wasted potential in that thing you cant even put figures in it from what i can see.

Me too, however, if I can get it for a sweet price, maybe I take it.

I have a Millennium Falcon collection, so this could be a nice addition to display alongside with others models / toy line.

Do you think this is a new BMF just repackaged or is it something new?

It seems that this one doesn't have the three missiles in the front so that's one difference. I guess we'll have to see the inside.

Not even the cockpit????? If so that is totally lame. I don't need a giant model. Some people will still buy it. I feel bad for the ignorant parents that buy it not knowing that you can't even put Han and Chewie in the driver's seat.

If its cheap enough it might be cool to cut it open and see what you can do with it. Wouldn't that be a cool customs contest. Take these new larger size vehicles that are hunks of plastic and make something out of them.

I'm not sure about the accuracy of Millennium Falcons, but if decently accurate and not to expensive, this could be used as a replacement for the big and uber expensive Master Replicas version - with a repaint and some weathering most likely.

Well here are some larger images (courtesy of our friends at Rebelsucm) and the detail looks good. Man, the thought of no actoin figures that can fit in this is awful though! They should have given this some retractable landing gear at least. Oh well, I don't think most will argue the $40 price point and there are Walkers on the box! :P

No figures can be put in it, but I did read somewhere that it's not a solid chunk it's hollow. At $40 dollars this is certainly worth a look.

Guys, I come to this site all the time and witness no less than miracles being preformed on sub-par Hasbro offerings. (can I get a witness!)

This is prime, especially if it's hollow, to cut to pieces and redo in different configurations.

Hasbro's research team reports that kids do not like articulated figures nor vehicles.    ;)

Seriously, the outer hull looks like it might be quite detailed, so a repaint could help this look amazing.  It just won't be me buying this sucker.

Light side, dark side...meh.  Just give me a lightsaber and a blaster and I'll take care of it!
